Support NeoGAF

[RulkezX]

The beta page also says "Thank you for applying to the Titanfall Beta. You will be emailed by EA no later than 11:59 PM PST on Feb 17th if you have been selected to participate."

So the beta will last for a little while.

The leak from France now seems legit , so it's 14th-19th.

 

[BuggeryBugz]

Beta invites will start to arrive on Feb 14th and will continue to arrive no later than 11:59 PM PST on Feb 17th.

From titanfall twitter.

I thought about using another e-mail but decided against it in case there was some issues with IP checks. I have no idea if I made the right call or not (if I don't get in but people that signed up multiple times did I'll be kicking myself for not increasing my odds). Fingers crossed.

My wife, son and I all signed up from the same IP but with different names/ages/DOB/email addresses (obviously), hopefully that doesn't go against us!

 

[II SHABUTIE II]

I signed up with my email and my brother(which also has an XB1) asked me to sign up for him with his email. I feel like I screwed myself over because of this... I bet I wasted my whole day waiting around for beta signup just to screw myself over.

Are you sure ? I thought the game had no p2p at all.

So everyone, even without an Xbox One, can register? That sucks... I can already see the beta codes getting sold on ebay.

 

[GravyButt]

Oh man I hope I get in on Friday, or at the latest Saturday. Im out of work with an injury and my wife is 8 month pregnant. She cancelled our usual Valentine day dinner of going out for sushi (she cant eat it being preggers) in favor of staying home and watching movies and eating ice cream haha. Plus, she has a bunch of baby shower stuff shes doing with his mother on Saturday, so basically im free all day to do what id like as far as gaming goes. Dont let me down!!

 

[Backfoggen]

Key on the 14th pls thanks.

Im thinking they are going to verify if you have one. When I registered last night I was logged into my Origin account already, and it asked for pc or xbox one. I got a feeling at least for the xbox one they are going to actually look up your info to make sure you have one. I mean, I think it makes sense, simply because the signup was monday night, and they arent supposedly sending out invites until friday. Thats a lengthy time to verify some stuff. Although I could be totally wrong.

What info? You only had to give them an email address plus date of birth. How do they know you have an Xbox with just that information?

Check how ?

The PC sign up required you to login , the X1 one didn't.

If they were going to do verification they would have asked. For our registered XBL email address.

 

[GravyButt]

Ook my apologies. I was logged in already, figured I just had to skip a step because I was logged in. Carry on, im a jackass.

Well...the email address that I provided is the one that is linked to my Microsoft account/gamertag. Not sure if that counts for anything.

Respawn has no way of knowing what your MS Account email address is for your GamerTag, they don't require you logged into your MS Account to apply, so there's no way for them to know, nor is there a reason they should know.

True.

 

[MrCompletely]

Kid will be at the inlaws this weekend, Wife is working, I hope the beta Gods smile upon me!

 

[MNC]

So did i win the time guessing game?

 

[WizzNARD]

Let me just say I had a great time waiting with everyone. I really hope we all get in and are able to play together soon! Good Luck!

 

[Asd202]

So I applyed for the beta on PC. But I don't really hope to get it. I never do get into the betas even when Hearthstone have had a almost open beta in December I didn't get a key lol.

 

[Orca]

[Well hopefully the system doesnt scan for IP's that submitted more than one beta form with different emails then add those emails to a blacklist.. I Feel like someone should make a thread telling people not to use multiple emails especially if your applying for the console or trying to jack chances up.

That would be pretty fucked up. I showed a couple guys here at work that it was up and they used my station to enter their emails. If I get locked out because I wanted to let people know about it that'd be pretty fucked up.

 

[Hanmik]

so it looks like media can spill the beans in about an hour..

But this guy was too fast..

Burn cards sound like they could be overpowered as heck but fucking awesome

Are they perks, or special acquisitions? I didn't quite understand.

 

[Hanmik]

sounds like Titanfalls version of Perks.. we will know more in an half hour (when embargo is up).

 

[Chobel]

Only half hour? YES!!!

 

[Raide]

They do indeed. I wonder how we acquire them? They seem like 1 off till you die abilities.

 

[Diablohead]

I am all for perks which are minor, no magnum damage shit like battlefield had.

 

[Bsigg12]

I hope they send Xbox One codes out with QR codes and the 25 digit code in the email so I can just show the Kinect the QR code on my phone and get downloading asap.

Can't you simply use an online text-to-QR converter? Then you can do the Kinect magic.

At that point you might as well be typing the code in.

 

[E92 M3]

Yes, possibly. I debating between viewing some of the previews in the office, or waiting till I get home nice and comfy.

Burn Cards

The collectible cards in Titanfall, called Burn Cards, unlock as players level up. They'll grant players special, limited-use abilities, like the option to shave off 40 seconds from your titan's build time, to inflict extra damage in a titan or an experience multiplier. Players can also play Burn Cards for effects like faster running speed or an amped version of a weapon. Play with a particular weapon frequently, for example, and you might unlock an amplifier card that makes that weapon perform better.

Fukuda said Burn Cards were inspired by the desire to add some randomness to the game and partly the idea of Respawn's "Mackey" McCandlish, who he described as a big Magic the Gathering fan.

Burn Cards are also a measure that helps to level the playing field for all players, according to Emslie, not just seasoned Titanfall players.

"They really came out of trying to find a way to do power-ups in the game," Emslie said, "but not do it in a way where pro gamers could come in and dominated the environment, by knowing the exact way start a match, wreck everybody as fast as possible, get all the power-ups and griefing everyone."

Players will earn Burn Cards through gameplay, through successfully evacuating a level during Titanfall match epilogues, "rodeoing" a titan or hacking enemy AI units, among other challenges, Emslie said. They're collectible rewards earned through play, not purchasable through microtransactions.

"The goal is to make them feel collectible," Emslie said, likening them to "favors" from the upper echelons of factions in which players do battle in Titanfall.

[Diablohead]

I guess burn cards are the next evolution to unlocking perks, sort of.

Also gives a good reason to evac at the end of a battle then just afk or grenade yourself silly.

 

[Chobel]

No one is going to create preview thread?

 

[Delt31]

killstreaks - in or not? Or undertermined? I really like KS and although some are burned from them I think they add a lot.

 

[D4Danger]

burn cards seem like the sort of thing that would be microtransactions. maybe there's hope for this industry yet

 

[Exile20]

I really hope they are out completely.

 

[GravyButt]

I thought burn cards were basically kill streaks?
