[QUOTE=Pappi_man;22574696]Well if you guys are Enforcers don't accept regular missions. Accept only Dispatches, Bounties or Back up missions.[/QUOTE] Why?
I'm amazed people who played the beta actually complain about the lag as if they don't even know what beta means. I get the horrible feeling RTW let too many people into the beta and now the misinformed opinions of people who think that it was at it's finished quality will be the overall opinion of the masses. I personally love the game. I'm quitting my wow subscription so I can afford this (although this is partially because I'm bored of WoW and need a break). If you're finding it boring make sure to take regular breaks in the social district and re-customise your car or create a new outfit for your character. Continuously playing the current missions will obviously get repetitive. Oh, and play Criminal. I know this is a bad feature and will probably be ironed out soon but it's much more fun than Enforcer.

I only have 20 minutes left of gametime :(

I get the horrible feeling RTW let too many people into the beta and now the misinformed opinions of people who think that it was at it's finished quality will be the overall opinion of the masses.[/QUOTE] Complaints about the lag obviously aren't that fair but complaining about the game mechanics seems more than fair enough to me. I was in the beta and I found it to be completely and utterly boring, I played through one whole session of it, then uninstalled it without regretting it at all. I found that nearly everything about it seemed to bland and unimaginative and that the shooting just felt awkward. The driving mechanics were God awful as well. The one thing I will praise the game for is its brilliant customisation, but that alone can't save it from the core of the game being shit. Don't get me wrong, I went into the beta with high hopes as I had been anticipating the game for a while. I was sorely disappointed with what I encountered.
[QUOTE=synth;22570743]But yeah, you can pay real money to get good guns. [/QUOTE] Uh, no you can't? There are no microtransactions in this game, you can only get in-game money by earning them in-game.
It's a terrible TPS with terrible controls, a fighting system that involves no strategy and tedious missions. The only thing that redeems the game is the customisation.
The reason people have terrible FPS is because the client is always uploading statistics and logs. I think it's a fun game, but it really is all about slotted weapons and Ntecs. They need to make the game easier for new players or the community won't grow.
[QUOTE=Fusilero1;22576106]All you do is run place to place holding F over and over[/QUOTE] Yeah, what else should you do for objectives? The objectives are just there to tell you and the enemy where to go, so you'll fight each other.
I've been in the BETA from the start, it's a fun game and if you've got the money I'd go for it, but I'm not going to be getting it due to the monthly subscription fees
About the upgrades, they already said they're gonna nerf the shit out of the upgrades, so that they're not gonna make the guns extremely overpowered. They also said they're planning to add these skill-only districts, where the weapon upgrades don't do anything.
[QUOTE=simkas;22577119]Uh, no you can't? There are no microtransactions in this game, you can only get in-game money by earning them in-game.[/QUOTE] Yeah you can. If you go to the auctions, you can get those real-money in game currency, and buy fully upgraded ownage rifles.
Mark my words When this game fails, and it goes for free (like the lord of the rings MMO will) it will be damn famous.. About the monthly payment 1. Social District = FREE 2. Action District = Monthly payment

[QUOTE=synth;22577901]Yeah, but have you been to the social district? You do nothing there.[/QUOTE] Have YOU been to the social district? That's where you customize your character, your vehicle, make symbols and decals and music. And the customization is like half of the game.
Hey, I got a beta key from Rock, Paper, Shotgun for the Key to the City beta. Reading all the impressions makes me think it's not worth wasting my time on, so if the OP (or anyone, really) wants it, PM me.
[QUOTE=simkas;22580074]Have YOU been to the social district? That's where you customize your character, your vehicle, make symbols and decals and music. And the customization is like half of the game.[/QUOTE] Seriously? The game is about the action stuff. The customization is great, until you're done customizing. Then there is not much else to do in that district. I spent like a max of 1 hour there. I customized my clothes, made a symbol and put that on my car, which I painted black. And then I left, because there was nothing else to do.
Guild Wars 2 will have no monthly fees... :ninja:
I'm in the beta and wow this game is terrible. All the missions are running / driving to destinations, pressing f and waiting for a timer to fill up, rinse and repeat.
I just got in the beta fuck yea.
