Try Mumble 1.3.0 which is currently in testing, it has a 64bit version and the overlay works great!

I wanted to prove to a friend that this game was p2w, so he forked out for an airdrop. The airdrop dropped outside the map, I managed to scale the mountain and find it, only to be killed by DoT from being outside the map. Maybe it's a social commentary on p2w?

Getting really tired of hearing about the P2W nonsense. If anything it is a Pay-for-possible-temporary-advantage, which is what EVERY Free to Play game on the market offers. If you were guaranteed the airdrop, guaranteed a gun with ammo and it persisted through death, then yes it would be Pay-to-win. The simple fact that you drop everything you are carrying on death makes it balanced (to me, at least).

For me, this P2W stuff has been more like pubbies pay money for things and then I kill them and I get the things they paid money for so :shrug:

And then there are times when I kill them, steal their stuff, then kill their friends with their stuff and that's pretty great.

Oh you want some too? Fuck you!

This game will be like Planetside 2 - amazing in beta and early on when there are tons of noobs jumping on the bandwagon.

But like once the noobs get consistently owned and frustrated they'll leave, and SOE reduce support of the game as there isn't as much cash coming in.

The biggest trick will be balancing the noobs vs the pro gankers. Personally dont think it's possible - but do love the look of this game.

While I sit on the fence I'm watching: http://www.twitch.tv/cohhcarnage

e: it's me: i'm the noob

Usually balance requires a reward system to go along with the gameplay. This issue is there is no gameplay let alone a proper reward system.

What is gameplay to you? Since Mario isnt jumping over blocks, no cars are racing on a track and you dont have to kill 10 bears and take their asses to level its not gameplay? Or do you mean in game content?

Gameplay usually requires a, hopefully, fun mechanic with an achievable goal.

PvP is gameplay for a lot of people (myself included). Actually, PvP is 95% of the enjoyable part of any game for me. I understand most people don't share the same idea, but games like this are oriented towards that mindset IMO.

It's a PVP sandbox. There doesn't need to be an endgame to make it fun for most of us.

same but ironically

but yo duder, nobody is saying this is a great game, people are saying this is a fun game

there are a lot of fun things to do IF YOU ARE GOOD AT MAKING YOUR OWN FUN

its basically a zombie sandbox story generator

like Blazing Zero seems to be the chief of the Pleasant Valley PD, we have opti the driver with a heart of gold and a foot of lead, we run in the middle of the night across the map in the rain to a base with three poo poo shacks and destroy it and steal all their poo poo

but if you aren't good at finding your own fun or you are running around solo its really boring

So the zombies don't walk through walls, and it has functional vehicles. Okay I'm in. DayZ can't die fast enough.

Also I was watching some gameplay videos. Why don't goons build their base inside the middle of an existing town? You'd get respawning loot.

Or is your idea of respawning loot just the constant stream of pubbies running into your meat grinder of a base during an assault?

I feel like these games would be a lot more fun if they took place in a giant city instead of bumfuck Idaho.

Base gets raided a lot where it is, with the way its set up it would just be under constant attack and be confusing as poo poo to have it in the middle of a city.

I get it, and I hate these types of games and agree there are more fun games, but when you shoot a guy in the head with an arrow and steal hours of work from him its very satisfying and makes the other parts totally worth it

and yes i referred to playing the game as work :v:

The Engine is bad.

Turning settings down has a side effect of turning down the amount of work the GPU does and trying to have the CPU do it. The engine is already a CPU hog so lower settings may make your game run slower.

Also dumb things like all shadows are on the CPU, not the GPU.

They call it "ForgeLight", but it is still based on their lovely EQ2 engine which was all CPU based.

The EQ2 engine was created to be future proof way back when and was horrible because of it.

It was so bad that they made ForgeLight

Games that use ForgeLight: PS2, EQ Next, H1Z1, EQ Next Landmark

Where did you see that it was based off of the EQ2 engine?
