I haven't been paying attention to this for awhile but I fired it up last night to look at the characters and I found myself wondering, whatever happened to the weapons/items that Founders purchased on the RT store oh so long ago, did that get nixed entirely or was I just missing how to equip them?

Hey MTL buddy,:hfive: that's a pretty cool opportunity.

I'd be surprised if you were able to tell us stuff or answer questions that haven't been announced publicly yet, you'll probably drown in NDAs but hey i hope i'm wrong on this one.

Personally i'm only interested in knowing whats their top issues fix priority. They know more than anyone the state of their game right now and giving us insight on what can we expect in terms of fixes would be nice.

This game is the definition of janky and unbalanced but I can't stop playing it. It's just so fun killing try hard Space Marines as an Ork.

I keep buying the 1000 credit loot boxes trying to get all the items but I should probably save and just buy a better melee weapon then the basic Choppa. Whats a good melee upgrade for Orks?

Have they put any thought into making an anti-vahicle weapon accessible from level 1? I hate that I'm useless against vehicles until I've played this game for a while.

Pretty sure you get an Choppa Axe in the 1000 loot boxes. It's really good and buggy. Buggy in that you don't take weapon stamina damage half the time.

Some Space Marine chapters get special classes and load outs, like the Wolf Priest for Space Wolves. Do they plan on implementing features like this for other racers, chapters or classes?



Also Trip Report: Mark of Tzentch and Flicker Flames are dogshit. Avoid them.

Yeah, Orks at least have visible stuff. I'd save 5k RTP for squig armor though, assuming they keep the 5k RTC price for release.



Also this is in the files for a jaw slot item. They originally said they wouldn't be able to do tobacco/smoking due to ratings, but they're PEGI 16 (allows tobacco) and M for ESRB, so I think that might have changed a bit.

It's me, the guy who only just tonight figured out you have to "equip" your custom classes in order to use them in a match...

On the bright side I got pretty good using the default load outs with scrub equipment.

Yea, that's pretty much what's killing it for me right now. I can tolerate most of the other poo poo since running around as an Ork choppin' gitz and going on about all the stuff I'm gonna loot is still pretty fun. But dear god the lag at times. That above all else is what'll kill this game unless they fix is asap.

Agnathion is the non-Harkus fortress map right? If so, the issues from yesterday are fixed as far as I can tell, was getting much better framerates.

It must have been pretty easy for them to track down since the framerate issues from yesterday would jump right back up to normal FPS whenever you died but were still 'in-game' in the deathcam.

Since it's a shooter doesn't physical distance to the server determine playability more than anything? There's only so much anti lag software can do before you get stupid poo poo like rubber banding and getting shot behind walls.

Mind you I haven't played an fps in 15 years so the internet might have changed by now. Back then you just disabled anti lag and blamed people's poor aim on their home city/nationality/sexuality.

35 bux is fine if you're okay with a lobby shooter with persistent characters that needs about two or three patches with one dedicated to stability and NETCODE optimization.

Yeah, it is worth $35 to me.

The core of the gameplay is really fun and there are times when I realize one or two games turned into several hours. But there are problems with Netcode, performance and balance. So don't expect AAA polish and optimization here.


Also Update your GameUserSettings.Ini

This improved my performance a ton. It turns off shadows and Anti-Aliasing. Turning off AA nearly eliminated hitching for me.

Yeah, this game would be a lot nicer if it didn't run at 10-20 FPS in open areas and if it wasn't so laggy aiming was impossible. Right now it's unplayable.

But hey, according to some Polish guy in the match I was just in, it's just my computer. He gets 120 FPS on his 670.
