We will, we need to plan out the party though, since we need 6 initially. Oxy Dalmar, and I + 3 more, and they all probably need to be pre-ordered too. IMO Arcane and Dac should be included in this initial group as well if they want to be. W/e we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

I think we'll have plenty on day one of the Headstart. I think Pyro and Voxx are pre-ordered too. It's not a big deal, though as we get closer we need to discuss officers and such.

I'm in no rush. We'll have a better idea of what we need/want and who's dedicated during Open Beta.

First 6 to get on. I don't see why it matters who forms it. We are all going to be ignorant to the game at first anyways.

I also preordered, my blackorc is going to smash faces! Btw, at the end of the video, did he say the guild can have 3 flags up at once, or 1 flag at once but 2 back ups?

I doubt very seriously that you can use your own pics. That would be a nightmare to try and moderate, especially considering the IP.

Think of the 3 Banners as different "loadouts" of your banner set up with different tactics and trophies that can be switched out on the fly. Once your banner's taken, you don't have backups, and you can't buy a new one. You have to go out and take it back. How they plan to enable this is something I'm very interested in.

I'm so glad they didn't cut banners in an attempt to save production time, I thought I'd never say this... but I'm glad they delayed the release date.

I wonder how they are going handle taking flags in combat or OOC, so you have to kill the other side before you can pick them up. How much life they are going to have when you stick it in the ground. I really hope the skills you can use while holding the flag are going to rock because it's going to be a shitty job sit standing there hold a flag and not using any of your skills.

Side idea : Would be nice if only tanks could wear them. Maybe their backs and still fight, may give guilds more reason to bring tanks classes.

Wouldn't it be awesome to roll in a castle with your guild flag on your back giving every one in your guild some buffs in the fontlines. They should make it so you Do less dmg, but have a lot more HP when you hold the flag. Just so your guild wants it's best player to hold the flag, not your weakest player because they won't cast\attack anything.

Hmm, that sounds pretty cool. Was a huge fan of DAoC, so can't wait to play this - will probably preorder later today. Question though, do you only get the early access with the collector's edition?

Yes, head start/open beta/extra items are collector's edition pre-order only, even though Gamestop randomly gave them out for regular editions too. If you don't want to spend the extra cash on the CE, just pre-order it, get your code, and cancel...although it's worth every penny IMO.

Yeah, I'll be getting the collector's edition. Can't wait.

Will they do something like the Dred servers from DAOC? I dont think those were servers at release, but I'd say its some of the craziest pvp Ive experianced.
