What the hell, this game has problems.
Ever since the VIP demo, i have been running the game with Afterburner (as i do with all my games as i like to see framerate and usage etc), and i have been getting anywhere from 30-60fps, usually around 35-45fps in the overworld and combat. Because i dont really like flucturating framerates, i had been locking the game to 30fps in Afterburner. Anyway it ran fine at 30fps, but i was getting that slight judder you can getting when locking a PC game to 30fps, when you turn the camera quickly etc. Anyway i remember reading some people say that this game doesnt really like Afterburner, so i Alt tabbed out and tunred off Afterburner, just to see if it got rid of that slight judder, now the game runs at 50-60fps, even in huge firefights, maxed out. Its never been close to that with Afterburner on.
It was really bugging me why some streamers, that have similar specs to my PC, were running the game fine on stream, yet i was having problems. Of course none of them had Afterburner running.
Anyone playing with Afterburner on, and are getting performence problems, turn it OFF lol.

Honestly im at the point where i can barely play. I love the jetpack, the view of the beautiful world and the combat. The ultra boring missions are what kills it for me.

Pretty much 4 out of 5 quick play missions I join are still broken and don't progress. And I am starting to hate all the different components. There are just too many and I have no idea what my overall stats are so picking stuff is a nightmare with all the affixes. I don't know why I keep playing this game. It's like I want to love it but just can't... I also think that the Colossus is the only good javelin since everything else is so squishy.

See, they fucked up not putting in pvp.
It never had to be balanced and gear inscriptions can easily be normalized in some form. Players would be non stop whining and crying to the high heavens but it’s still a great distraction
The point is... the current end game is just to create a build that you will use somewhere down the line of the next content drop or challenge. So if you’re there already you’re twiddling your fingers.
No-lifers will have made builds for all javelin types in the first two weeks, whereas it’ll take months for most for even just one (there are varying levels of Uber hardcore in this genre)...
However pvp would’ve provided a great distraction. People want to fuck around with the sandbox, looking to break it and exploit it; that’s the fun. And there is no better test than using it on another human.
Nothing kills you quicker than another guardian ...

There are different types of people when it comes to these games. I'm not opposed to PvP but...
I can have a really good time grinding for the perfect inscriptions for a build.
But I still have regularly scheduled Borderlands sessions with a college buddy and my brother-in-law, so...

I'm not sure it is possible but somehow the loot feels even worse after they fixed the inappropriate inscriptions.
Instead of a stat that is completely useless---which you can write off to a bug/poor planning---you get a useful stat at 1% which makes you want to bang your forehead into your keyboard multiple times.
I think they need to implement min/max stat ranges per tier of item. If it is a legendary it shouldn't be possible to get a 1% stat and if it is a white you shouldn't get 300% charges, etc.

Yeah. There are very fun aspects of the game, I just there was “more” to them.

Yeah. It seems like there aren't range caps, which is a strange oversight.
You can have epic > mastercraft > legendaries in some cases like weapons, and that's exhausting for min-maxers.

Yeah. Quite simply it just feels like the loot team was designing loot for the first time, which might be the case. Just feels like an area of the game that lacked proper supervision and foresight

Not with those inscriptions! Shame that the only difference in the first place is the extra base damage anyway.

That +1% extra damage though...
Edit: My second legendary, GM1 quick play (one of the few that wasn't broken today). That thing shreds. Some masterwork or legendaries seem to have up to 200% weapon damage though. Compared to this the 25% seem meh.

Man flamethrower and lightening coil can do some work with the combo detonations.
Also... is there still a health bug? The size of my colossus health bar seems to vary pretty wildly from mission to mission without me changing equipment. Not sure if its glitching or some game mechanic I don't know about.
Edit - Per their forums yeah there seems to be a health bar bug that they are working on fixing.

Yep, and from what I read it's not just visual, which is what was being reported early on.

Flamethrower and lightning coil is good at Hard, it starts to fade into GM1.
At higher tiers guns are more important so having a gear that allows you to freeze enemies whenever you feel like it so you can stick your gun right in their weak spot and unload is pretty nice. So eventually you'll probably put the flamer down and pick up the voltaic coil. Is a firewall mortar build that is gaining popularity with people who don't want to play colossus at melee range for some reason.

Urgh shit like this really bugs me, getting banned from a game you have paid for. Outside of doing anything illegal of course.

Yeah. So DatModz was among the most high-profile streamer doing this and didn't get banned.
I'm only about ~4 minutes in, but something already doesn't add up.

i was able to fix my "stuck on loading screen issue at 95 percent". need to powercycle xbox console; if that does not work, reinstall game and then powercycle.
how was the streamer farming? i know there's a legendary contract where 2 ursix pop up; just keep killing the regular one, and let the legendary version kill your team.

You nervous?
no. just inquiring. i really like the game, and i do believe that it may take a year or two, or perhaps until close to end of this game's lifecycle that everything will be solid.

Bans are retarded. Temp bans sure but I heard they’re tossing out permabans. Disagree when bethesda did it for 76 too. I can’t recall Bungie ever permabanning accounts in any serious fashion... and lag switchers are worse than anything else — hell I ran into a few today.
Players will exploit and break the game. That’s what we do. They can fix their own fuckups instead of making someone else suffer.

Yeah. So, dude was quit farming.
I'm not in favor of bans either, but dude is a douche.

The enemies on grandmaster 1 don't half take some fucking punishment!! Even scorpions etc take a lot more bullets!! Can't imagine what 2 and 3 are like!!
When you first do GM1 it feels so hard and everything takes so long to die. But, then, you get full MW gear and GM1 becomes a joke. So, you go on to to do GM2 and it s just like going into GM1 for the first time except this time you cant out gear it.
Turkishdave

Yeah I'm starting to be able to do more damage the more I unlock masterwork items, the online is patchy as fuck at the moment though, keep getting booted out etc!!
The MW gear for Interceptor really helps but you have to learn the ABCD of Interceptor: Always Be Constantly Dashing
Because of how Interceptor's shields work if Im low on health I will disengage and dash around to find health or easy kill then when shields regen dash back to the fight. Also use dashing to animation cancel attacks, really helps on abilities that have long recovery time like Spark Dash or to use a melee attack like Tempest Strike then get out of melee range to avoid any counter-hits like the shield bash from Scar Enforcers.
I usually go with Spark Dash and Tempest Strike. Yeah, no primers but the raw damage is insane. On GM missions I usually die the least and get most of the kills on shielded and armored mobs.

Last time I played with all gear MW except one I was mopping the floor on GM1 with melee,I got a lot of melee gear,but still from out of nowhere got killed from one shot,but in short all gear MW gm1 becomes line normal lvl of the game,going GM2 that's another problem ,without legendaries you can't do that

March 12. The day Division 2 drops. Come on, Ben!
The camera shake is overdone. Didn't realize that was a setting. Will fiddle with it today.

I still don't understand how digital foundry gets nearly double my framerate. I don't buy that a 6 core i5 has that much impact over my 4670k, even though we're using the same vega 56. This thing drops to 20fps when getting close to the market. Overworld drops to 28 in fights. The only places that give me a solid 60, are the small instances...

this game needed another year of development,almost nothing works,there are 83 pages of people reporting different problems with the game on their bug forums,its mind boggling,a patch won't fix this game,and every patch they released actually ruined the game more than actually fixing itIn case people missed it there is patch coming on the 12th. Hopefully a fairly big one.

I've read around a bit, and it seems w7 is the problem somehow. Others are reporting massively crippled performance vs w10 even though both are running DX11.
This is disappointing because Derek French from bioware actually said the game runs "fine" on w7 and w8, they just don't officially support it; guess it doesn't run fine at all, and couldn't find a way to fix the performance because frostbite is full of buggy nonsense.

I always turn off CA on any game, any platform. Motion blue and depth of field I usually turn off too but not always

Please keep the shitposts to yourself. There is no difference in API.
This is not about "keeping pace", this is a difference of 50+% in fps; literally no other game does this , when it's the same API, except anthem.

wXP supports DX11? Maybe you should try a brain.
