HOW ABOUT I LASH YOUR SHIT

I was browsing the forums because I can't sleep (too much coffee), but I know what I'm going to be doing for a little while longer, at least... :f5:

I'm tired of following my dreams, I'm just gonna ask where they're goin' and meet up with 'em there.

Hey at least we did better than most threads in games, half the people who took them spoke up to say thanks instead of ninjaing them.

He's posting them on 4chan too, but they are all gobbled up instantly as well. HOW DO PEOPLE DO THAT?!

This nearly got me, the first code I tried was gone one minute after Higby's post.

It's like everyone is Superman and they're all on direct fiber connections to the SOE servers so they never ever have to wait for the website and can all copy|paste just by thinking about it and then all the codes are gone forever. :(

I just want a golden beamer and maybe some of the SOE Live swag that I'm not entitled to at all, because I am a giant selfish baby. Higby pls.

Last stop before bed and I caught it like seconds after he posted. I was pretty sure it was going to say I already had a gold beamer, but now I'm the douche with the gold beamer and the money camo. This will legit make getting my vehicle ram kills more enjoyable.

I am irrationally depressed now, because I have neither a golden Beamer nor cashmoney camo. Sad. :911:

Is that what it unlocks? I don't feel bad about missing out on it then, I very rarely switch to a pistol to finish and I'd run with a crossbow before the Beamer. Now if it was for the golden crossbow...

It gives the cash and coin camos but also the NS autoblade. It doesn't appear to give the hunter-P though.

Gonkish

Yeah oddly no Hunter QCX-P, but definitely got the Autoblade and the camos.

I haven't played the game for ages (10 gigs of patches), is the performance patch they were going on about released yet?

I have updated my computer since I last played it but I still feel like I get really bad performance even on lower settings?

Well, I'm glad you finally got something.

Note that if you got the pack with the NS Knife and picked up the Analyst Helmet last patch (or the NS Helmet from the referral program, I guess) you can now have an entire loadout of NS weapons and cosmetics in any class. Use a faction-indistinct camo and congratulations, nobody can tell what loving faction you are at a glance!

The analyst helmet is great, I've had many occasions in which a friendly does a double-take at me and then shoots a burst at me.

They released a series of optimizations over the end of last year / beginning of this year with small optimizations every patch. Sometimes they gently caress something up and people lag to poo poo for awhile. What settings are you using? Hit Alt + F to turn on your FPS meter (turn smoothing off for this part) and turn everything to ultra or high until it says [GPU] in yellow. Then turn things down (usually shadows first) until you are at [CPU] in blue. At high settings more stuff is offloaded to your GPU, at low settings it assumes you have a bad GPU and makes the CPU do more work.

I am speculating.

There was some guy, maybe that guy? Maybe someone else, but they were in a PUG platoon run by ZenChicken and they were talking a lot about their mental health issues on voice at great length. Everyone was gently trying to steer the guy back to the video game. It was early morning.

Also thanks to Higby for the gifts, I didn't get a code through the thread though, but it's awesome to see that stuff get shared. Everyone deserves to live out their fantasies of blasting wrestling entrance music and pretending they're The Million Dollar Man, or Woman.

I think someone posted details about the SOE live event and how you could get all sorts of goodies by subscribing to their twitch channel. They probably wanted people to go to SOE live and also subscribe to twitch so all the gubbins were listed on one page. I definitely thought I saw the xbow-P listed on the same page as the NS autoblade and assumed they were all one thing.

AggressivelyStupid
Jan 9, 2012

Yeah for the low price of 20 dollars you got a platinum xbow and some smilies. Separate thing from the camo / knife.

Edit : holy gently caress the steam version of ps2 has been updated to match live. No more huge downloads post install. Higby :swoon:
