Greeting Realmers,

We’re as thrilled as you are that the Realm Exalt Supporter Beta is finally getting into your hands! It’s been a long journey, one which we simply could not have done without your support and patience along the way. And now the time has come for us to make good on a promised reward to those who supported us back at the start with the Supporter Beta access tier.

We are happy that many of you Supporters have already joined the special Realm Exalt Reddit and Discord (remember to use command “!exalt” in #bot-channel if you are Beta Supporter).

We mentioned that the most important part of the Supporter Beta is finding new bugs that will improve the overall gameplay. With your help, we will be able to polish Realm Exalt and present it in its best version once it hits the Open Beta phase where the whole community will be able to play.

We also wanted to share some system and hardware requirements.

System Requirements:

Minimum:

• OS: Microsoft Windows 8 (32/64-bit) / Mac OS X 10.13 or higher
• Processor: Intel Core i5-3330 or AMD A10 5700
• Memory: 8GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 / AMD Radeon HD 7750 (1GB VRAM)
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 250MB available space
• Resolution: 800x600
• FPS: 30

Recommended:

• OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (32/64-bit) / Mac OS X 10.13 or higher
• Processor: Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• Memory: 16GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 (6GB VRAM)
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 250MB available space
• Resolution: 1920x1080
• FPS: 60

Note: Driver features that can boost frame rates like “Enhanced Sync” by AMD or similar should be disabled in order to guarantee a smooth Gameplay experience.

Step on how to access the Supporter Beta:

1. Click here for the new Realm Exalt Website
2. Download the Realm Exalt launcher in accordance with your OS
3. Unzip the file you will download.
4. Start the launcher and you will be greeted by a login screen
5. Enter your account credentials the same as you would on the Flash client to begin.

Step on how to access the Supporter Beta via Steam :

1. Login to your Steam Account
2. Right-click on the Game -> Properties… then select Betas Tab
3. Select Exalt - Realm of the Mad God Exalt
4. Download the Update like this -> Hit Play, choose “Play Realm of the Mad God Exalt”

Mind that once you log in, the graphic settings will be turned low by default.

Important!

This is the beta of Realm Exalt - we do not recommend you to play with your top characters, as you might experience bugs which may lead to death. Remember that although it is a beta client you are playing on PRODUCTION servers and any progress/deaths will stay on your production account.

We wanted to also remind you that sharing your account’s credentials with other players is against our ToS. If you already shared your credentials with someone, we advise you to change your password to protect your account.

Update on Welcome Back Gift:

Welcome Back Gift can also be consumed on already maxed characters so watch out! It will give you the XP even if your stats are already maxed out, so be careful on what character you use it!

Deca comment on the current specs (original https://www.reddit.com/r/RotMG/comments/fknob8/why_in_gods_name_are_the_system_requirements_so/fktr7na/)

The specs listed will not be the final specs for the official release and while we had some promising results even on low-end hardware we decided to be cautious and put specs we were sure worked properly.

One of the goal of the supporter beta will be to figure out what the true specs needed are based on a much bigger sample size than we could ever hope to test on our own. If your computer does not match the spec listed and you have access to the supporter beta, please do give it a try and let us know the performance you are getting so we can be more accurate with those in the future.

Any screenshots by the way of how the menus and things look?

Also, saw they posted this update on Reddit and via in-game announcement (where it was called Realm Exalt Small Update 03/20):

r/RotMG - RotMG Exalt Update

Hello Realmers!

It’s been more than 24 hours since we released the Realm Exalt Supporter Beta! We are very happy that so many of you came back to check out the new Unity client. We know it is not in a perfect state right now, but that’s why we have this Beta. We are incredibly thankful for all the bugs you have reported on both our Discord channels and Exalt subreddit.

Right after the release and your initial reports, we started working hard on the most crucial issues that you guys faced. Currently, we are preparing a fix for some of the issues which will be released very soon. The issues are:

• Infinite loading screen when connecting to the game
• “Account in use” pop up when switching dungeons
• Changes to launcher to allow all supporters to get into the game

After fixing these, we will be preparing a bigger set of fixes which we will try to release in the near future.

Please keep in mind that we are doing our best to fix all issues, but this process takes time. We will try to have releases as soon as possible, but sometimes it can take a bit longer to find the solution and push a fix.

Once again thank you for all bug reports and feedback! Please keep reporting them as they help improve our game vastly. Your participation in this stage will contribute to making the final release the best it can be!

[JimdaFish]

Here’s the Journal thing; basically a thing for newer players that explains various parts of the game (this can be found by hitting the wrench button that just opens options on flash client). It also has more topics covered than just the tabs along the bottom:

Unfortunately, I can’t get more screenshots right now, because Unity is being buggy and I can’t open it.

[Twitchystr]

For whatever reason I read “go forth” as go for lh

[JimdaFish]

Quest marker in the Nexus for one of the Realm’s fiercest foes:

Trading:

Pressing enter opens up this thing and lets you see a whole bunch of text at once:

The shots here give an approximate idea of how large the uncovered area is (range of tshot is 7.59 tiles, for reference):

In centered view, shots from a wand with 9 tiles of range just reach the edge. As such, I am finding myself actually playing center-screen a bit, though still with screen rotation (this may change as I find what works best for my play style).

[Nevov]

Interesting to see, thanks both!

Agree about off-centre, will be interesting to see how the game feels and to what extent off-centring changes away from being a necessary thing.

Sight range has throughout the game’s history affected weapon range, so I wonder how this will go in the future. I remember the WS devs weren’t shy about altering weapon range to benefit the game (eg. nerfing long-range weapons when some shots went further than a player could see, forcing closer-quarters battles) so a higher sight range could mean some interesting reworks here.

Q. are the on-cursor-click to activate abilities affected by the further sight range? Eg. trickster teleporting, assassin poisons, huntress trap throwing, wizard spellbombs. Or do you get prevented from using them at the full sight distance?

And funny to see the nexus with its playercount: /250 seemingly the cap.
I coincidentally noticed that there were 85 players in EUW nexus the other day and wondered what the limit was. Edit: and if it’s right to keep it so people can idle for 20 minutes? In the faster-paced game of today, might be better to kick after 5 minutes idle and free up server space.

Agree about off-centre, will be interesting to see how the game feels and to what extent off-centring changes away from being a necessary thing.

Off centering still gives you further fov, like physically more tiles are loaded in front of you press the toggle center key.

Or do you get prevented from using them at the full sight distance?

Somewhat. You can use them at full range in the sense that anywhere tiles are fully loaded (idk the exact range but like 10-12 tiles?) you can teleport/spellbomb etc, but anywhere in the “fog of war” (i.e. black tiles, greyed out tiles) you can’t. Niegil discovered you could use trickster to send a decoy and not teleport if you used ability while cursor ok black tiles, not sure if that’s been fixed
