People are just the worst.  The...worst...  Check out the grown men at 1:50 just yelling "Michael" like a couple of dipshits.

Also...did he really need 2 teleprompters to say "This is it" a bunch of times?

....Yes, because as you can clearly tell he was a robot, that could only vocalize using visual cues that were implanted subliminally through teleprompters.

Is commando their april fools joke?  Or is it that they just wanted to put a profession that really doesn't fit with the genre?  Or....I liked what I saw until confusion set in @ commando.

Am I going to have to endlessly grind to reach the level cap?


No. The time needed to level up should never exceed 90 minutes.  Moreover, the leveling curve flattens, so each subsequent level will take about the same time to reach.
 

So, not so much a grind afterall.

And apparently you get scaled up or down when partying with higher/lower levels, so playing with someone 30 levels below you will work. pretty cool.

A sidekick system will be used to scale your character down, to match the people you are with. Your character's power will be scaled in either direction (scaling up only occurs in a party with higher level players), but you will still retain the same bonuses from armor as your original level, meaning that higher level players will still have some advantage.

FFXI did the scaling down thing and that was pretty cool. Interesting

Yeah so you could actually do some stuff with level cap folks with your part time status.

So the first beta weekend is coming up this friday, though the only way you can guarantee a slot is with a pre-PURCHASE of the game.

Not sure if the non purchase signup is still running though.

OMG... you will definitely NOT be spamming just one skill in this game.

Diablo 3 is going to the shelf for this gem.


-

Let me put this into perspective... One of the caster classes (Elementalist) has 80 spells granted via the various weapons, and with utility spells, and and spells granted from utility items, this reaches in excess of 120 spells just for this one class, omg.
