Right I'm on the Fae server and at the point where I have to pick a faction. If we want to play together do we all have to be in the same faction and if so which one is the one to join?
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.

You pick a faction at lvl 10 and you can play with other factions (group to do dungeons etc), but the exception will be pvp content.

I'll likely follow Gunda and join covenant if I get to lvl 10 (I don't think it takes too long) and just try and group with a few of you guys to do some of the main quest line. I doubt I'll be getting close to lvl 25 to enjoy the first dungeons.

You can flag yourself for pvp from level 10 and there is some damaging scaling it even the fights out but you will likely be lacking in weapon abilities. Wars are limited to 50 ppl and I believe lower levels will get kicked from the war group to make room for higher levels, so again, I doubt that's content I will bother with in the beta.

I joined Covenant on Fae for the same Gunda-reason!   Character name is Tealeaf, unsurprisingly.

Not played New World since the Alpha and I was quite impressed with the changes made.  Feels very much more fluid now and the combat system has been worked up a lot more.   I like the crafting systems, lots of choice and I can see that being quite fun to max out.  Not tried a dungeon yet and still only playing with a sword and board, but overall a very enjoyable experience.

My first impression was underwhelming - standard MMO fare, fetch quests and grinding galore.

I didn't think it would ever really be for me, as I don't consider myself an MMO fan. However for whatever reason the more I play the more I find myself enjoying the game.

Overall I am getting more and more tempted to pick this one up. The lack of a monthly fee certainly helps. Fitting it in around a newborn might pose a challenge... but that sounds like a problem for September 28th. :D

That's very similar to how I felt. Very formulaic in the early levels, but then I found that choice opening up way beyond what I had previously seen and experienced.  The PVP elements added that required bit of spice (and resulted in my character's first death), and the breadth of crafting options was really quite impressive.

One thing is missing though. Autorun!

There's also a setting that lets you turn on auto traverse (instead of having to press jump to climb), although I've left that off as I can imagine it to be quite annoying.

Congrats on the new version :)

But it's really on a challenge to fit playtime with friends as it's fairly stop - nappy change - start - stop - feed - start cycle.
For times when the new version is awake at night, a baby bouncing chair helps and you can get some good solo play time in :)

However, the real joy comes in when they can sit on your lap and you play together, but that's likely a few years away.

We have a wrap, so I can at least game with her strapped to me while sleeping, which has been fun! :D

Will be great to share gaming with her as she grows up, for sure. Enjoying every day atm, it really is a joy. :)

She'll grow up thinking that a resting heart beat is about 120 if you're playing fps all the time!

If I hit 120 bps for my resting heart rate that means I'll be entering the Fat Burn zone on my fitbit!

So play Overwatch to loose some poundage? :D
