Have played on one of the free beta weekends and I got to say, it's good to see FPS are moving a bit out of their comfort zone, but it left me a bit bored and without real motivation or guidance to proceed.

Decent game, but I am not planning to play it once it releases.

[Barbieslayer]

Does it have any anti cheat technology worth a damn?

[Cthulhu100]

Many people have talked about this, how at the moment the game is a slight "bore". I'm about to check it out myself, but watching some content with the developers, I understand that this is just a working beta. Right now the game world is pretty empty, the progression isn't fully there, etc. I'd still give it a shot when it launches because I feel there's much more change coming. The developers truly seem to listen to their audience and seek guidance from them, so there's a lot of promise in the end result.

So I take it they haven't developed some new technology to safe guard their players, but are still trying to relase a game on a platform and a genre that is reknowned for being abused.

Good luck to them...

Definitely. To explain a bit more: Somehow the "Main Quest" (the mission-system that actually leads you through the basics as some sort of tutorial to get familiar with the rudimentary things) hung up on me and I could not advance - so I went renegade and just explored on my own.

So far, there really wasn't much to explore though and the fact that I hit an invisible wall after 5 minutes of running into one direction (never do that in an MMO it's so...bad) kinda turned me off.

Might check out another beta to really get another impression, just hard to get people into playing something with a cartoonesque aesthetic after they played WoW for way too long.

How long have you been in the beta? The game world was maybe 1/4th the size it is now (ie the last time I looked). They have a really great way of expanding the map. Invisible wall? The only borders I've seen are the Melding border.

As for the graphics, to me they're reminiscent of Borderlands. On that note, it's definitely a game made to be played with friends, because there isn't much direction currently.

All my impressions came from that free-for-all weekend they had I think 2 weeks ago Not sure if I even played the same version as proper beta testers or just got a little glimpse of it as a result.

I agree with the latter though and that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

Well considering the game isn't even close to being release, I think they are fine. Assuming, if they actually want to release the game and it doesn't seem that way so far. The damn game hasn't made any meaningful progression 1 year ( I joined around this time last year).

You don't need the email you just need to go to the beta page and click next without inputting an email and it will show you the beta code so you can send it to someone.

I don't see where to do this. I only see my "invite" section (I have 2 invites left) and those require an email address to send the code.

My excitement for this game has dropped from high to almost none.  For those who have actually played, is it enjoyable?

Last time I played it there was quite literately nothing to do but call down random turrets that you defend while they mine and shoot shit out in the world. As you can imagine that got old fast

The game current state is pretty much alpha. Although, it is officially called beta. The game right now is still going through with designing the system, last year fall it overhauled drops and in the future it will seperate PvP gear from PvE which will allow the game to bring back loot.

Anyways, if you go in expecting it to be nearly finish you would be extremely disappointed. But if you have the bandwidth, you can pm me for a beta invite so you can check it out yourself.

The game isn't at a state where anyone can really say much about how it will be in the future. I started over a year ago and I hop in every few months to check out the changes. It has evolved quite well in my opinion, but it has a long way to go. Many features they want to add, are not there yet but you can see where and how they would fit into the game.

Basically, you can tell that the game has a ton of potential to go where they want it to go, but don't hop in expecting to have a game to play. It really is a true beta (as stated almost really an alpha) and you are a true tester.



I have been unable to find this in the past, but is there a list of updates/changes somewhere? I randomly found missions when I hopped in at one point and never saw any sort of announcement or info on them existing. Same thing with the motor bikes.

[Firetruck]

They post patch notes on the beta site and in the launcher. Is that not what you want?

[Firetruck]

They're overhauling the progression system again on the 22nd. Looks interesting. I liked the last system, but gaining exp seemed too slow.

[Specialz]

The new patch makes the game feel so much different and improved...too bad my the login server is trying to * with me.

[Firetruck]

Same here! They're fixing the login issues atm, i think. I got into a PvP match today after not playing the game for months. Man, everything's so... fast!
