Got in! Awesome! Cant wait to play this in a little bit. I will do some videos on it too. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/19imW[/IMG] 30 Mins!? Son of a...
pretty sure there's an nda on it so no videos. also no pics.
Anybody else who's already been in Alpha think there needs to be more visual cues as to what the shit is happening? I just hate it when I get killed by a guy using his weapon cooldown ability and I don't realize it until I'm already dead because I overheated and he didn't. If they're using a cooldown I want to see plumes of steam expelling from the weapon struts, and if somebody is using extra damage I better see some red hot barrels or something.
played it and.. meh. is it bugged or are sniper rifles in this game really the most inaccurate thing imaginable? i'll shoot a gun with "100% accuracy" and from 20 feet away at a wall it will hit 5 feet above where i'm aiming outside of my crosshair. either i'm doing something wrong or they don't know the point of a sniper rifle?

Dont worry I can barely play. Menus are slow as fuck and they keep re-syncing my account. I was finally able to connect to a game but then I got a weird camera for a minute and then lost connection. But alpha is alpha.
Can anyone else not change their advanced video settings?
game is incredibly unoptimized atm and when on all low everything is just grey and a darker shade of grey and lighter shades of grey for enemy mechs.
I can't even change any of the settings in the advanced window, I can only switch between the presets low, medium, high, and ultra. Every time I adjust a setting and hit apply, it'll just reset itself.
got an invite too yay if anyone has a spare key I have a friend who's insanely interested

hahah wow this game is amazingly easy as assault. ASSAULT RIFLE OWNS. so does the rocket launcher if you know how to use it i got 11-0 twice [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] also i absolutely love how when you are so damaged you get disoriented solely because there's so much clutter on the screen. holy shit, i was cringing with 8 hp left while getting shot at and dashing to safety. shift + s is god's gift to backing out of a hot zone. It's such a hassle to chase dashing enemies because they fly right through their allies to cover so when they're critical and you can't kill them it's a real FFFUUUUUU moment, especially when they come back a minute later with AP rounds and tear your shitty mech to shreds
i can't join any games. i keep getting "your connection to the host has been lost" i just wanna play video games
sharpshooter is fun with the right perks.
Was gonna join my first Hawken match when suddenly game closes and redirects me to a survey asking how was the game. Seriously what the fuck.
I'm Sailor Dave, in case anyone sees me ingame.
AAAAAAAAAAW SHIT JUST GOT MINE TOO [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] shout if you see me, i'm Fart_Party
Got mine in my junk mail, awesome. Unfortunately due to my silly internet i have to wait 4 and a half hours before i start to download it. Ho hum...
I also signed-up like forever ago. Maybe if I start bitching in this thread I'll get a key too?
I thought I'd never get in the Alpha. Signed up on day one and it's finally here.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;37827159]what the hell i signed up like 8 months ago[/QUOTE] I signed up around the same time and I also still don't have an invite. Was inviting 3 people a requirement to get in?
Bah, I can't even play this very well because it runs pretty badly on my system. I guess I'll have to wait until it gets optimized.
Aaaand its my turn to pick my brother up from work So I'm sitting in a dark parking lot miles from home Last thing I saw on the computer screen was "download complete, click to play"
got some sweet gameplay footage [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kvFndtJ38c&feature=youtu.be[/media]

I did. Three times. Maybe fourth will magically fix everything? [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] I can't find servers now lol

just got into the alpha, played my first game as rocketeer i had no idea what i was doing but i killed two people like a winner everyone knows that rockets are the most badass
Just went 33-4 with assault flak, god damn I love this game.
It's probably best to register again for people that did months back, signed up 2 days ago, in now.
