[QUOTE=goon165;37414251]main problem I have is the cockpit view is so claustrophobic you feel like you have locked-in syndrome and third person is useless because of a lack of a Hud.[/QUOTE] There is freelook. Use the middle mouse button. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Dakeyras;37414270]I'm a pro galaxy pilot. I like squishing enemy tanks underneath my vast bulk[/QUOTE] I've seen done, but I want to replicate. A gal was being chased by a reaver so it nosed straight up and slammed S, bringing it to a near stop. The reaver flew straight into it and exploded.

Flying is easy, just need to get it to work with my controller so I can actually fly smoothly and not fling my mouse about my table. I still need more Galaxy landing practice.

I wonder if a small bridge collision could turn into a giant bridge battle. At first there would be like 2 tanks on both sides calling in help, turning it into a full-blown bridge battle. That'd be cool.

[B]Servers are coming online now[/B]

Holy shit I actually made and logged into a TR without crashing. Happiest Sunday ever!

Apparently I only dreamed that I signed up for this because there is no record of my account. Strange.

Flying isn't hard. At all. Actually it's really awesome. You only can't fly it in 3rd person :3

I found flying to be hard as fuck last night. I inverted the fly movement today and wow did it make things easier!

What's the best way to get decent FPS? I seem to get the exact same rate on both low and high graphics (high seems to get even more FPS somehow)

Wow, I deleted a few chars and it doesn't let me re-use those names. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=scratch (nl);37414762]What's the best way to get decent FPS?

Might be a dumb question, but is there a way to check what time it is in game?

I thought they got rid of backcapping, there's someone on TR doing nothing but backcapping in NC territory in East 01

[QUOTE=scratch (nl);37415052]How am I sure that FXAA thing worked? I tried running it but I don't really know how it works :v:[/QUOTE] You should get a little boost in FPS and probably less blur. I just run it anyway, not hard to apply it after launcher.

[QUOTE=Thom12255;37415071]I thought they got rid of backcapping, there's someone on TR doing nothing but backcapping in NC territory in East 01[/QUOTE] I think that's coming with the "new capture mechanics" patch, which Smedly said would be monday barring unforseen circumstances. So October.

they really need to remake the north part of the map, no one ever attacks it so it's always under one teams controll

Any good outfits or organised servers I can join? I've mostly been lone wolfing some out-of-the-way points for the time.

[QUOTE=RobotCreeper;37415005]Might be a dumb question, but is there a way to check what time it is in game?[/QUOTE] EVGA Precision or some other hardware management programs may have in-game clocks.

[QUOTE=krakadict;37415233]they really need to remake the north part of the map, no one ever attacks it so it's always under one teams controll[/QUOTE] The only way it will ever get properly attacked is if the three-way is gotten rid of and continent locks are brought back, otherwise the same factions will always fight in the same place and never see a lot of the continent.

My game likes to crash a lot when I'm in vehicles, and I'm running some medium some low settings in windowed mode. When the game doesn't crash it feels kinda like a Star Wars Battlefront with tons of people.

They're having an excellent 3-way fight/defence around The Crown on EU 1, loads of tanks rushing down both hills, up from the large facility to the east and across the bridge to the west. This game is awesome when everything is happening. Shame about the 10~ fps.

I entered a mosquito just to get my fps drained to 1, causing me to crash directly into the ground [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] TR is taking over the west side of the map, including the northern area of it

[QUOTE=GravyKing;37415252]EVGA Precision or some other hardware management programs may have in-game clocks.[/QUOTE] I might be wrong but I think he meant time on Auraxis

Was so excited to get into the beta, but am getting fucked up the ass by shit fps making it unplayable. From the slide show I'm playing it looks really fun.

what server are we all going to be playing on?

Middle East 01

Flying might not be hard but its unintuitive as fuck, and I can't perform maneuvers I can in games like BF3 because PS2's flight phsyics are literally non-existent, which goes against natural logic. But after you fly for a while you kind of compensate for the weird physics and the "drag the mouse across the desk" type of flying you have to do. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] Also weird some people are literally getting terrible FPS I run it just fine on max settings with a 2500k and a 560Ti w/ 8GB ram. Some slow downs here and there in big battles, but otherwise good. My BF runs it good on medium settings with his $100 AMD processor and a 6870 with 4GB of RAM. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Whitefox08;37415930]what server are we all going to be playing on?[/QUOTE] Nobody is playing on one server, people are just picking the server closest to them (i.e. if on west coast US pick West01 or something, if in europe pick EU01 or something, etc). And before you ask people aren't aligning themselves to a specific faction either because theres enough people out there to want to play all three factions.

Yeah, until a patch fixes it, I'm stuck on constant 5-15FPS. I managed to shoot down some fighters with AA guns, but apart from that, I'm essentially useless.

Am I the only one who keeps looking for facepunchers in the game? I've already seen Thom, Fisk, Tokagero and MuffinMan. [editline]26th August 2012[/editline] also 95% of the gameplay for me is running around from base to base, not seeing any actual enemies or just getting killed by vehicles.
