DownSide

FPS is MUCH lower than before. 33% lower in fact.

Hitting somone with a deliverer doesnt kill unless your at max speed. This is bullshit. If I plow over 5 people at 50MPH, they die. They don't go "ouch," and bring your vehicle to a near halt.

Where the hell is the emergency break? Space doesn't seem to work, and I cant find the key bind.

Shot somone, they did the death animation, then suddelny whipped round and killed me.

No object death noise or effect. (e.g. killing spawn tubes gives no indication they've blown)

Lancer appears to do less damage?

The game seems to be sluggish. Probably due to the lower FPS.

Sometimes doesn't load

Crashes constantly

Upside
Haven't been killed by an NC jackhammer all day. But mainly becasue they're all in their vanguards.

No gitter when going through doors, it's nice and smooth now

Werner is ablaze with fighting. One hell of a battle raging right now.

The Loadstar is VERY handy for transporting AMS'

yeah, the vehicle speeds which cause death need to be tweeked a lil
Emergency brake? they should allow you to dive out of the vehc. but they should add an emer. brake as well
killing someone, but not really? happens to me all the time, getting really annoying.
the patch musta nerfed the dead spawn animation/sounds, cause you used to see a similar animation to a wraith exploding

Do you think they laugh when they're typing up the patch notes and they put down FPS Optimizations?

FPS changes always affect everyone differently

actually it's 50kph, not mph. That is what, about 27mph?

After playing further I know why I havent been killed by a jackasshammer all day. All the little scum bags have switched to VS! Don't blame us TR, blame the little buttwipes who can't stand not having an advantage.

Hopefuly it wall all settle down when they realise that the only reason they're winning is due to their multiple zerg proportions, and that Vanu DONT have an advantage.

I haven't gotten more than a handful of kills all day due to kills "steals."
For now, I'm logging off to wait for things to settle down.

Seems to me that the empire that can zerg the most DOES have the advantage... just my two cents.

Here are my first impressions.
Explosion graphics look better, smoke is neat.
FPS seems to have stayed about the same.
Vanu had their numbers buffed but their intelligence got nerfed. Two Vanu reavers tried to kill me by ramming me today. I've never seen anybody do that before. Made me laugh though when they slammed into the wall and exploded.
Pounder still blows. Getting closer to it's goal of spraying confetti and glitter though.
The lack of animation for objects blowing up (like facility turrets) is annoying as hell.

Jagd's first impressions:

Hmm, the game won't load. Glad they pay their staff to TEST their CODE before LAUNCHING it. I honestly don't see how in the hell they can leave show-stoppers in a patch! Like, are these people on crack? Didn't this happen last time? Wasn't it Nimbus who was unable to get in game with the last major patch. Jesus christ.

Yeah it was me. Took them a couple days and then they put out a small patch that fixed it.
