Must of been like me then. I only have like 2 posts on the forums and I got in sometime near the end of March.
I registered in November 2010... no invite.
everyone turn your view distance to 500-700 it frees up FPS, anything over 900 isn't needed
You don't have to participate in the forums but it improves your chances of randomly receiving a key
[QUOTE=74;35523655]Oh well i no longer give a shit about this game, when i first watched that video i thought this game looked awesome, if it's nothing like it then i don't care anymore.[/QUOTE]
The game in the current closed beta and the game at PAX East 2012 we're two different things, the Closed beta is what the game is now in closed beta (A buggy beta like all betas in this stage) and the PAX East Preview build was beautiful and close to what the next patch will be. Give a shit about this game, don't change your mind because TheJoker said something negative about the game, but he is right though, the highest video settings cannot be selected in the beta at this time :/
This game oozes potential but in the current state of beta I just can't bother playing. PVP is very rough right now (partially because it's not in the priority for testing) and PVE is fun but repetitive.

Actually you can select the highest settings in the beta right now [t]http://i.imgur.com/wREuE.jpg[/t]. Everything selected will look like this [t]http://i.imgur.com/zd7PI.jpg[/t]. You'll take a massive fps hit with Motion Blur on tho.
Who uses motion blur anyway?
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;35521920]Recently found this trailer that I'm fairly certain hasn't been posted yet, it's pretty old but damn it is [I]nice[/I]

False advertising with those gliders.
I wish you could jump off cliffs like that,

Ahh I see, any video settings I set to just defaults back to High.
[QUOTE=74;35523438]So is the game like this video?
[video=youtube;x23fkDB9rW8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x23fkDB9rW8[/video]
Or is just some class based shooter that i couldn't give a shit about?[/QUOTE]
The First half is about right.
But we don't have ANYTHING like the second half yet. I can't wait for Chosen Attacks.
Don't suppose anyone happens to have a spare key?
:wink:
saw some people in chat earlier saying that a patch is coming today, not sure if true so have some very random pics.

strange i use 3000 :) and i can't still see whole map ... (i assume it's either 20x20 or 25x25 km) at least form what i tried to measure (could be 32x32 with sea)
Basically right now it's just beta-ey. Very very beta-ey. It doesn't have that many players active. It's mostly geared towards getting all the bugs worked out before releasing the next batch of content to be tested.
The very core gameplay is there and works pretty flawlessly though. I have no real gripes other than the fact that we suffer from spartan syndrome.
"I can fall off a planet, sure. What? Can I swim? What's a swim?"
Yeah I was just exploring and there was this small puddle in the middle of a forest, i didn't really pay much attention to it, jump jetting around and all that. I think proceeded to land knee deep in the puddle and instantly die.
It makes sense for deep water since you are in battleframes that weigh who knows how much, but for the little like waste deep stuff doesn't make sense.
GUYS GIVE ME A KEY BECAUSE I WILL TEST IT SO GOOD ON MY HIGH END RIG, IT CLOCKS SO MANY DEGREES
Just kidding
Not really though
Latest patch v. 1333 changelog:
Bug Fixes
Fixed more issues with the HMG sound getting stuck repeating
Increased the text opacity on the login screen for better usability
Tweaked targetting system to allow for better interact prompt detection making it easier to interact with objects
Fixed issues where the HMG reload animation would not animate parts of the weapon properly
Fixed issues with the UI not being interactable on EyeFinity and Multi-Monitor setups
Healthbars are no longer seen while a player is logging in or in a dead state
Fixed a crash when using /joinleader to join your squad leader in a different open world instance
Crossfire configurations should be detected now
Fixed an issue where the Overcharge ability attachments did not fit on female bodytypes
NPC health bars now reflect the fact that they have no health when dead
Fixed an issue where players could hack their warpaint colors. Sorry. No more green alien assaults.
Additional logging and fixes to the AI system to help troubleshoot the dumbing down of Coral Forest
We are aware of some additional problems with AI behaviors in the open world and will continue to work towards improving them
Game Changes
Decreased the time to craft Dreadframe III to be in line with other battleframe upgrades
Rare splashback modules are no longer dropped below level 15
Encrypted vendors are now titled to reflect that they have encrypted nanoprints
Encrypted nanoprints offer you a random item with a chance at manufacturing uncommon or in some cases epic items
Resource nodes are now depleted by over-thumping. Once depleted, you will need to return to scanning to find additional resource nodes
Added the option to disable character outlines via the Video options menu***
For certain individuals, we have found this can reduce the effect of simulation sickness though we have no serious empirical data to back this up
Known Issues
Removing the outlines from characters also removes the outlines from highlighted and interactable objects
The world map does not show information when hovering over dynamic icons
--
*** So, if you dont like the borderland-ish look, you can always disable it.
Have they done anything about the immortal silicate deposits yet? I'm sure a lot of people have wasted a lot of detonators trying to crack them

Game looks cool.
I got my key earlier this week but not had chance to download or play as been busy with work. Nearly downloaded v:v:v
Man, they forgot something in that last patch.
They forgot the part where they send me my beta key so I can play
:c
The downloading/installing of this game is a huge joke. I download it, then when installing it I get an error with the zip thing it uses to install the game and it expects me to download the game AGAIN?
They can do one.. unless anyone knows how to access it in program files?

Meh, now it's deleted the old content and re-downloading. It's a joke. They've lost any chance of me trying this out now.
