Sj Has More To Come!!!

[Navaron]

"Just so everyone knows, we fully intend to flesh out more of the character development, rewards systems, outfit incentives, reasons for continent locks, etc. after release as game expansion improvements.
The focus right now is on getting the core balance correct so we can grow and expand after the intial offering is completed."


BOOYAKASHA!!!

[Navaron]

"If you enjoy the game today (or in the next few days as we continue to tweak stuff), then you'll most likely be very happy after release.
We have months and months of upgrade content planned for release after we launch. Many, many of the ideas you folks have requested are on that list, plus a bunch more you never considered.

This game evolves and changes constantly after we launch. We're just focused right now on getting the core game balance completed so we have a solid foundation to build on in the future.

Don't fear. This game is already unique. It's going to become very, very engrossing in the months to come."

Can we fix world crashes first?

Well you guys are so evil :(
I am now so hooked in this game not only am I upgrading my connection, but my gfx, mem and subscribing to the game when its out lol

:) (was joking about the evil bit) ;)

[InuYasha]

Oh yes, they are definitely evil, they're just evil in a way that benefits us as gamers. ;)

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Whizz Bang POW!!!

[Sp3ctre]

(psh.. Ali G is good but you can't beat Borat!)

Do these patches involve huge d/load times? I haven't got beta so I don't know much :)

It's good they're using feedback from us though. How about a Rail Gun (Like an anti-MAX sniper rifle)?

[Navaron]

Thankyou - 99% of the people around here don't know who ali g is. You're a good man.

Amen brotha!

I'd just like to say thanks for all the hard work the devs and staff are doing. It's hard to please everyone, but I think you're doing a good job of balancing issues.

MY rig isn't the most powerful and I crash to desktop like everyone else occasionally but the fact that I can even play at all is great. I love the game and I think it will grow into a classic that people will enjoy for a long time.

[Cyanide]

Uhh...they might wanna make the game stable before they start balancing. It's hard to do balance testing when you can only play 30 minutes at a time.

[Baphomet]

I wouldn't get too swept up in this announcement. I want you guys to pay careful attention to the fact that not once is there mention of fixing the increasinlgy horrid FPS problem, the CTD issue, or the lag. In fact, if you really read into it, basically they are trying to get people to stick around for as many months as possible with promises of 'tweaks based on input'. Now I want you to ask yourself, would SOE, as a company, tell us something that isnt neccesarily true to keep us paying for a few months?

I've actually been to Staines :)!

I do agree with baphomet, lag is THE biggest problem with ANY online FPS. The amount of times i've died in TFC because of lag...

ARGH!

[MilitantB0B]

:tear: <------ Tears of joy

Nice to hear that it will get more engrossing, just so long as when they say engrossing they don't mean an addictive leveling treadmill of death!!! But that hasn't been there style so far, so I am not worried. Do your thing SOE, you know your stuff. :)

[Harps]

i dont know why every1 complains about lag .. i mean i run perfect at my friends house must be your guys comp .. and the only time i got kicked out was when the server was going down or a continent kick ( which was only 1 time )

I am now so hooked in this game not only am I upgrading my connection, but my gfx, mem and subscribing to the game when its out lol

you think that is bad im buyin a hole new comp thats going to cost me 1500 :rolleyes:

Before I make fun of you, let me make sure I understand you. You are trying to say that EVERYONE experiencing cpu/video lag (probably about 40% of the playerbase), has a defective setup? Heres my specs real quick, and it IS home built, i've been building computers for about nine years, so I really dont think its a matter of inexperience.

AMD XP 1900+
GeForce 4 Ti4400 w/ 128mb DDR
768mb ddr2100 system ram

As you can see, my hardware certainly meets and surpasses the requirements of the game. bear in mind the problem started small and got bigger by the patch. Still think its 'your guys comp'? Yea, me niether.

[Stusi]

D Ali G is Da coolest!!! "Yo check yo self befo you wreck yo self". Borat is hilarious!!! Anyways... why flame these devs? So far i have been amazed at the amount of updates and fixes. Everyone complains... it is a BETA for a reason guys. The devs seem really cool and i am enjoying the amount of player criticism (sp?) they are taking and using in a positive fassion. Also the general concensuss seems to be that they are releasing the game too early. Well it's ok with me cuz they are getting a base out there to build upon. Involving more people in the building process will just yield a higher end machine!!! Think... would you build a car for a company off of one guy's input? Or would you rather have the company BUYING the car give it's input? (all the employees).

[Harps]

well i meant to say maybe its your comp .. all im saying is i dont have problems dont have to get all offensive about it i guess im the lucky 60% sucks for u

[oosik]

Baph,

I have a similar system to yours and have very few problems. I do have a gig of ram, however. The last major patch (with its immediate refinements) helped with fps issues too. I often play for hours at a time with no problems. Got the latest nvidia drivers?

I run PS on medium.

Yea, I got the latest drivers the other day to no avail. However, I think I might have found a possible cause. I had remembered installing DirectX 9.0, but for the life of me I cant remember if it was 9.0a or not. APPARANTLY other applications and games were experiencing slowdown with 9.0, so this very well could be the problem. . I'll keep everyone posted.

[Hamma]

They will work out the crash issues. Having been in beta for months and seen the game in the state it was in back in december, I have every confidence they will work out the issues.

[balab]

don't remember ANY framerate issues w/ my rig. most of the problem i face comes w/ the continent cyssor.

Athlon (not XP) 1.33GHz on Epox 8RDA+
512MB of el-cheapo PC2100
ATI 9500Pro

oh and what resolution do you play on? try tuning down from 1600x1200 ;)
