[El Sloth]

Was completely baffled at first, but now I'm starting to get a hang of the push and pull of the matches with flying and retreating. It's a lot of fun so far! Wish more people had mics though. Thanks again for the code, Jackson!

I agree the Overlord mode isn't very fun at all. King of the Hill is awesome though.

Any gaffers wanna get in a group?

[Flunkie]

Do not care for this game at all. Oh well.

 

[Gowans]

I'll be on for half an hour, inv sent, Varient.

 

[Emitan]

Just remember the metagame stuff isn't totally finished yet. The base or core stuff isnt in yet,

 

[Gowans]

Man Varient own Europe

 

[PedroLumpy]

Just remember the metagame stuff isn't totally finished yet. The base or core stuff isnt in yet,

Do you know what it will look like?

 

[Emitan]

Do you know what it will look like?

No idea. But there's a notice every time you enter a zone that its not in.

 

[MMaRsu]

Anybody still have a code?? I just bought some Gold so Im down for some fps games online like this. Also bought a headset .

 

[El Sloth]

Can't join. Paladin. :/

And I meant to join the Variants too, but I wasn't paying attention and joined the boy scouts instead.

 

[PedroLumpy]

No idea. But there's a notice every time you enter a zone that its not in.

Alright, but I judge by what info we have. I'll re-evaluate when more information comes, but for the moment the metagame doesn't justify itself.

Can't join. Paladin. :/

 

[El Sloth]

Preyons are my bane.

Hack grenade them

It's hilarious as it returns back to its owner and murders them.

 

[OdysseusVA]

lol
Spawn trapping/killing is too easy in TDM.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Ok 5th Cell if you are listening REMOVE Overload and the Swarm.

 

[El Sloth]

Hack grenade them

Brilliant.

Although I feel the cooldown on the hack grenade should be a bit longer.

 

[Jackson]

The wait time is due to a some matchmaking bugs we know about and some we don't (because we've never tested on this scale and this is an older build since it takes a month to cert for beta). And the limited amount of people in the beta right now.

It also has to do with the faction splitting, but the final game has a unique solution for that issue. The worldmap is actually virtual, meaning if you attack North America and I attack Europe we can still match make together, even if we're both Paladin. So trust me when I say that's not he issue.

The main reason for this beta is to learn about what to tweak on our matchmaking and also what to balance on items from a larger population.

Also... More codes!

Thanks for the code! Downloading now!

 

[El Sloth]

Jackson, will you be able to switch sides in the full game? If so, how will it work?

 

[parasight]

Took T7CWC-DVKYX-VJHRW-D32YJ-4X7MZ

Thanks!

 

[Broadbandito]

Hmm cant grab these codes, it says the offer is not valid..

 

[El Sloth]

Had my first rage quit!

King of the Hill with double shotty + meta armor + defense boost

With both of my teams mates backing me up with the swarm guns.

It's a pretty messed up combination.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Need to use a US account

 

[Jackson]

Need to use a US account

Set your xbox to NA

Jackson, will you be able to switch sides in the full game? If so, how will it work?

You will, the purpose is mainly there to make sure you can join your friends. Not swap factions to join the current winner.

 

[m23]

Also... More codes!

T79MY-V7YVX-QTXW9-M4PJW-MWYWZ

I got the first code, thanks a lot!

 

[MMaRsu]

Set my xbox to us or my profile?

 

[Gowans]

Set my xbox to us or my profile?

Use a us profile to download then play on your normal account. I'll be on to play in 15.

Ps pick Varient, it's where all the cool kids play.

 

[thezerofire]

Also... More codes!

T7JF2-KRMXY-VP4FM-27KKJ-CJPKZ

took this one

 

[FyreWulff]

Does this game have Legacy sticks? Wondering before I redeem this code, because if it doesn't I'd rather pass it on.

 

[JambiBum]

I can't get over the fact that in a game with jetpacks the movement is pretty restrictive . I like everything else about the game except for that. It hurts it for me.

 

[PedroLumpy]

It also has to do with the faction splitting, but the final game has a unique solution for that issue. The worldmap is actually virtual, meaning if you attack North America and I attack Europe we can still match make together, even if we're both Paladin. So trust me when I say that's not he issue.

From what I've seen I didn't think the matchmaking was split by the map, is it actually split by continent at the moment?

It's the faction splitting I'm worried about. Given some team of 3 Paladins, the matchmaking system *has* to pull from the Variant player pool to make an opposing team. Any other game would be able to pull from their entire player base. Are you confident the game can overcome that?

 

[Gowans]

Man matchmaking is going slow now.

Always 3/6 then a room starts 3 Varients and 1 Paladin then the host quits

 

[Gowans]

SEARCHING FOR PLAYERS (3/6) ......

I wonder if a lot of this comes from splitting the players. Again had to wait for the Paladins

So we wait in the lobby for three paladins for ever an someone gets bored n leaves

Edit: yup it happened, third time in a row, 20mins and jut got in a game.

 

[-PXG-]

Shit.

I always miss out on these code giveaways

 

[sneakypete]

Thanks for the code Jeremiah!

Used T7GFJ-7RJ9M-447RY-H6TV9-G92PZ

D/ling now..

Matchmaking is only split by faction. The worldmap has nothing do with it.

Host migration is not in the beta, but will be in the final game.

We have systems in place that are not in then beta to help the faction split issue.

Also there's some bugs with matchmaking in general that we're seeing (hence the beta!)

 

[El Sloth]

Nevermind.

 

[Gowans]

Nevermind.

Switched to US a while ago, finally in a game now.

I'll e up for some GAF games after this one.

 

[Gowans]

Any Varients up for a game right now?

Post you tag I'll invite you to a squad.

 

[Aaron]

Thanks for the code. I used this one: T79VF-7YCDC-Y92PG-Y67DH-4RP9Z

 

[PedroLumpy]

We have systems in place that are not in then beta to help the faction split issue.

Any chance of expanding on that?

 

[darkressurection]

This should probably not be possible, the lockdown potential of the SWARM is too good especially when you have someone with a sniper to pick people off.

Edit: I guess I should point out that I am monkyofdoom, so I am not claiming OP because I lost or anything.

This has been my experience for every session I've played with the game so far. It takes me on average about 10 minutes to find a game. Most of the time, I simply don't have the patience to stare at a loading screen for 10 min waiting for people to join the game.

10 minutes doesn't SOUND like a long time, but when you're just staring at a static "Waiting for Players" screen, 10 minutes is an eternity.

 

[Gowans]

45 mins and played two games, done with the beta for tonight then.

Yeah they'll need to fix it quick while in beta or the beta will drop like a rock.

 

[sneakypete]

I've just downloaded it and got in a game no problem. Starting my 2nd now. Very interesting mechanics!

 

[Jackson]

I'm assuming you guys who are having connection issues are Variant ya?

 

[sneakypete]

King of the Hill is fun, constantly flying around blasting foo's from behind. Just went 18 and 4 w/ mah carbine.

 

[Xater]

I am not having as many issues as some here, and I think the game is actually pretty interesting. Committing to you movement is a big deal and strategic positioning can be really important in king of the hill. I think I like this game.

 

[S1kkZ]

i like it, only played 3 matches so far.
love the style and 60 fps.
