[QUOTE=scout1;37510963]Does the auraxieum (blue resource) tick in while you're not playing?[/QUOTE]

Nope.
Wish it did, even if it was just a very small amount.
You get other resources and certs while offline, though.

[scout1]

So I should leave my game on all day

That's basically what people who farm Araxium do right now.

[Patremagne]

Add me to the outfit on East 2: AegonVI

[QUOTE=scout1;37510963]Does the auraxieum (blue resource) tick in while you're not playing?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but too slow to make any noticeable difference, afaik.

I thought it was the other way around?

[QUOTE=Lamar;37510261]I've read about putting the settings on "medium" countless times, but which settings? (Be specific) So far this is the best settings for me, I'm getting 70-30fps with a modest system. (Q9300, HD4870, and 8GB DDR2) Before-hand I was getting 30-10 FPS, so the change in performance for me has been colossal.

I find that lower resolutions really help with the FPS. I was previously running on 1920x1200 but that chipped away a good 20-30+ fps for me.[/QUOTE]

Probably texture memory can be set to low (since I doubt they can put that on CPU as its simply a reduction of texture quality) but I imagine most things should be set to medium

Oh, also- put the render quality to 85. This goes for everyone. You get FPS boost for no noticable quality loss.

Well, if everyone is making FP outfits on different servers, i think it would help if people would just post all the Character names:

nice door placement there

[Cyteless]

How do I join the FP outfit on East 01?

[b]Edit:[/b]

Also, my name is CytelessCMB on US East 01

Some more perspectives on the problem.

[KorJax]

Outfit formed for Vanu on East01

Name: [B]The Facepunch Illuminate[/B]

PM me if you wish to join with your name so I can send out invites (it says there is a way to open it up so anyone can apply... how do I do that?).

[Cyteless]

K, on US East01, add me as CytelessCMB, Outfit name: Facepunch NC East01.

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37510047]Maxed everything and holy shit, this game looks so sexy at night.
My FPS didn't take a huge hit either.

Also, NC guys, I hate you in air combat.

TR people will at least fight until they die, but NC?

Nope, fuck them. In every single fight so far with them they always bail out or suicide on purpose.

It is enjoyable watching peoplpe without a jetpack on bail out and plummet to their death, though. :v:[/QUOTE]

I really don't care whether a pilot lives or dies in this game as long as their flying machine bites it swiftly

[editline]2nd September 2012[/editline]

I've seen TR guys bail out too, makes me laugh

[Patremagne]

Fucking TR maxes are op as shit. A group of 15 of them just stormed Zurvan and our NC maxes are utter shit in comparison. Like one of theirs died.

Sirena, Outfit is still buggy. It won't matter if it's open because Outfit search is broken.

[QUOTE=maqzek;37511088]

No, unless they changed the Araxium income while offline in the latest patch.

The reason I usually manage to kill NC maxes on 1v1 is due to my one flamethrower.
I usually go around with one Cycler and one Flamethrower, incredibly powerful when in short range.

People seem to underestimate them, I only see NC maxes with Scatterguns

Yeah I have no idea why they didn't fix it. I'm pretty sure lots of people submitted it as a bug.

[Viper123_SWE]

I reported it earlier today.

[maqzek]

[QUOTE=Daniellynet;37511664]No, unless they changed the Araxium income while offline in the latest patch.[/QUOTE]

Wow, that is so pointless. Gain certs but not Aux. I thought they could fix the idlers by making Aux gain only in combat or offline, so if you're just standing still, you don't get anything or amount that is lower than combat gain or offline gain. The point is to make people go offline instead of AFK.

Because it takes a long ass time to unlock other weapons for it and it starts with a scattergun and some other 5-round-clip weapon that takes forever to reload.

[Heigou]

I'm still not sure what faction to go, anyone can give me a quick overview of each factions technology-wise and playerbase-wise and stuff?

I want to know what I'll like the most as I have absolutely no clue.

[dot.rich]

How do CERTS work then? All MAX CERTS are locked for me.
