Tips / FAQ for new players

I have to install something else? Or the Open Beta has not started here?

I have a closed beta account, and there is still over 3hours before the character wipe. From what I have gathered so far, it would appear that Open Beta would officially open at 3pm Eastern Time/ 12pm Pacific Time.

This has still not been confirmed...

According to the countdown, the Open Beta launches at 9pm GMT.

There was also an announcement stating that there is a 1.53GB update for the open beta, which needs to be downloaded before you can play. This applies to previous closed beta players as well.

Ill post some questions here too: answer them guys! :)

7. Does physical wand damage effect anything for spellcaster? who casts spells from gems?

8. When physical wand damage is important?

9. How witch can be safe from melee mobs and archers? (witch will never have big armor or

No. It is only important for attacks and attack skills.

When you are attacking with the wand.

Answered in the first post:

1)

To quickly move an item from your inventory to the stash or vendor sell window, Ctrl-click the item.

2)

Press TAB to show the map. Use the arrow keys to scroll the map.

Schinski, to edit your chest's tabs, they have to be premium stash tabs first. If you don't have premium stash tabs, you can't edit what they look like. Regular stash tabs do not count, either, for editing purposes.

Any tips on how to speed the download up? It's been going for close to three hours and I have 3% downloaded on a FIOS connection. Maybe there's a mirror somewhere? Very interested to check this game out.

There's a mirror here (requires free registration)

I think it's a couple of patches old, but you get most of it.
