I Am Playing Beta

[Craniel]

Hey Guyver, could you post your system specs and tell us how smoothly the game runs? it would be greatly appreciated.

[Guyver]

2.21 AMD Processor.
2 Gig Ram
80 gig.7200 RPM HArd Drive.
Dual Nvidia 7900 256MB's

Some hiccups every now and then. And ofcourse when you enter a new area it freaks out a little at first. Recently I turned off HDR settings to help load times. (Theres alot of them!) But when I turned it off, my hair wasn't shiny any more D:

Also, I have the gameplay down, the intro- all of it's good BUT the audio. My mic works but Movie maker isn't cooperating well so the release has been slightly delayed.

[Craniel]

Thanks.

P.S. Guyver is a mad movie.

Well you are on the most annoying part now, takes very long to download <.< (17kb/s)

Btw a question: Can you only make one char per server?

[Guyver]

No as far as I know you can have as many as you want BUT!!!!!!
Once you pick a side you have to stick with it on that server. No sapien and Alt chars on the same server.

See lithium9mm's post.

I have a few questions: Can you take a lot of hits before you die? I hope not. Is it very bloody? Does it seem close to completion? Is the combat fun? Sorry for all the questions

[Fox_Makenshi]

1.In PvE you can usually take quite a few hits before you die. You've got a shield that regenerates and your health won't take damage from certain things until the shield is gone. In PvP I think the weapons do more damage because I've been killed quite fast.

2.It's fairly bloody. If you kill an enemy with an explosive sometimes they blow up into little pieces.

3.Combat is just as fun as any other FPS I suppose.

Love,

So quick question but a real important one to me. Does Huxley have a cone of fire? Meaning that when your running, standing, jumping etc your chances to hit are greatly reduced?

If so do they have different stances like taking a knee, prone and the like? I was a very big fan of the Planetside shooting as it was more realistic to me coming from an Army E.O.D. background.

Thanks,

If you use the updater they have it downloads at roughly 300kb/sec from East Coast USA..

Guvyer you lucky bastard! Sup man! Have fun playin the beta. Wish I was in on it too :(.

So are the enviornments destructible? Any large scale PvE events that you can do with 99 other people? If so any aggro managing? Like the enforcer being the toughest class takes the damage and holds threat while everyone else beats on it? How many people have you seen with the various classes? From your screenshot it appeared to be alot of snipers with the occasional avenger and one enforcer, has anyone noticed any overpowered traits like sniper invisible camping or the like?
Thanks, new forum member, been watching this game for awhile and finally stuff is coming out about it, cant wait just hope it is Halo 3+COD4+WOW

P.S. Ive heard stuff about the amount of weapons you can carry and what types, like that enforcers can carry snipers and the like and im not super happy with that, how does all this work in general?

[xDEKANx]

one word, Gatling gun/Mini gun/chain gun?!?!?! (and u said any class can use?)

lol that was more than one word but u know what i mean


Edit: can i tell i play Planetside TR :P
(not as fun as it usto be but server merge made it alot more fun)

I'll answer what I can, but I haven't done any pvp at all. Still working on grinding my way up to 21 so I can do world pvp, if it even lets me in to that. I was delayed because of going on vacation for a week, but I hope to get there and participate in some pvp before the beta ends, which is next Tuesday I believe.

Environment is somewhat destructible, not very much really. Not sure on large scale, but there is definitely some squad/group pve instancing.

I have no real idea how to tell classes apart in town except for guessing what they may be by race and what armor vendor they are standing at. (Heavy-enforcer, medium-avenger, light-phantom). I'm Sapien-Syn and currently it seems like you are forced to be male as One and female as Syn. From what I've seen the One to Syn ratio on my server is something like 5:1. I almost always see the most people at the medium armor shop(avenger) whenever I am in town, so that may be some indication.

While I haven't participated in pvp as I said, based off the pvp videos I've seen and my current knowledge of the game's mechanics. I'd say that invisible sniper camping isn't something you'd have to worry about in this game. Three big reasons for this.

1- Ammo on the sniper rifles are limited. I only have eight rounds on my current rifle before I need to head to an ammo spot. So you have to move from your spot fairly often and then go back to it. Granted yes, you can run over it while cloaked and pick up new ammo and unless somebody(usually an avenger) has infravision activated, you wouldn't be seen.

2-Cloak doesn't last forever, granted it does last a long time if you activate it from a full special bar(something like 35 seconds for me currently). When you fire while cloaked, there's about a 3 second window before you can cloak again.

3-Movement. Things and people move fairly fast. Phantoms can cloak, Avengers can double jump and teleport, Enforcers have their sprint thing and headshot protection(although I'm fairly sure it activates randomly on it's own and you can't control it). So you have to be a really good shot to camp consistently imo.

I believe you can spec into other classes special weapons, but it costs like triple the LP(not sure what that means, I think learning points) than it would for the class it belongs to get it. It already costs a fairly good amount for the class that owns it to pick it up, so I don't think you'll be seeing enforcers with sniper rifles on a constant basis.


As for gatling/chain guns, I don't know if there is a weapon exactly like or close to the mcg. There are normal machine guns that everybody can use, but they aren't all that great. Enforcers do get a flamethrower though.

As for overpowered? The first big thing I see being nerfed are explosive weapons in general, especially grenade launchers and rocket launchers, they do a lot of damage on direct hit and high splash damage.

Based off what I have seen and played with, avengers are probably the op class in the game right now.

I know people will bitch about Phantoms and their cloak, but believe me when I say they need it. Their armor sucks incredibly bad as do their overall close range abilities. They can only get the basic class of grenade launchers which are the current super op close range weapon. Cloak isn't all that great either because infravision is going to be something that a LOT of people will have because it's just so awesome and useful.

I'll try to do a full review/report on this kind of stuff when I have actually participated in pvp, which I hope will be by the end of the week.
