Hellgate Beta

Yo! I am ticked right now. Last night when I was about to zone into Charing Cross Station the game told me it had network errors and than kicked me. That would not be a big deal accept for that Charing Cross Station takes 3 zones to get to from the current station that I am at (Covent Garden Station) and 3 zones can be time consuming with all the random wacking and trying not die and what not. (plus I havent upgraded my run skill has anyone?). So no big deal I was tired so I quit and went to sleep. Than this morning I tried to make another run for it and I after trekking my ass about 40 mins into the game and all the way across 3 zones guess what, Network error, and I get kicked right as Im supposed to zone into Charing Cross Station. Has this happened to anyone else? Is anyone else currently in Charing Cross Station who might be able to inform me if the whole zone is down for the moment. Or is Hellgate just a big piece of shit? Is there anything I can do about it? Am I doomed to just play each character up to lvl 10? Any advice would be helpful but for now I guess its all about WoW and TF2. Hope everyone else is having more eventful video game experiences. Peace.

I think I have a character parked in Charring Cross right now. I'll see how she's doing when I get home. Every once in a while the game seems to take a big crap on itself, but we haven't gotten completely stuck yet. Might be a good time to check out another class.

Yeah, I may have something there...I can't recall, I'll look when I get home.

I wouldn't worry about it always being this way. Take my word for it, they've been very good about addressing problems player have been experiencing. They're working on patches round the clock.

If anything, you can contact them and tell them whats going on. I'm sure they'll help out.

So we'll all compare notes and see whats cracking!

I just tried again and it did it again. Shit I dont think Ill attempt this again for a few days, maybe Ill get lucky and a patch will fix it.

I tried to check it out for you, but the game froze up in town. There was a patch this morning, but I don't know if that would fix your problem.

It's sad that this late in the release cycle you've experienced this crash. And that even now Cyrusse has problems.

I can't help but get the sense that Flagship weere being too ambitious with this game. They're a small development team. When I consider the game as a whole I can really see that these guys are talented...but probably too small to develop such a game with a time constraint.

I still feel like I want to want to play this game, but sadly, I haven't. Steve has it now, but did we really jump on the prospect of grouping? No, we played wow...and that was just because we wanted to...no fault of Hellgate, it just isn't holding our hearts and attention.

Anyways, this particular situation with you crashing wouldn't be enough to make me feel worse about the game, but compound that with all the release issues after launch, all the bugs, and my simple lack of motivation to play...I just worry for it...
