This weekend's test server looks promising. Not only do we get to play with the heavy robot prototype and a couple of new weapon prototypes, the Pixies gave us a peek at a new prototype map. When you see it, remember that it is still in its early development stages. Right now, it looks like a pre-Windows video game, but I know it's going to be really something when they release it. It can be viewed on my very amateurish channel at:

So Pixonic rips off Battle of Titans for a map idea? At least it's a little bigger than the last two test maps. A comeback to possible strategy play? Nah, not even close.
Added 3 ridiculous chain lightning weapons to test? No thanks. I don't want or need to be hit by enemy fire when I'm trying to take a break and recover behind cover just because my teammates are in line of sight and I happen to be in line of sight of them 300 meters away. Or any range for that matter. Screw that cr*p.
Liking the big flamethrower. Range is fine. Damage is awesome. Graphics need a boost though, would like to see more color and smoke.
More paint with one being a graffiti artist's nightmare. A clown suit in other words. Two more circus clown suits. And one that actually looks martial but has no map it is suitable on. I still like it though.
Where's the big bot? Anyone seen it? I loved it in earlier test renditions. Still think it should be added to the Independants because it so closely resembles the Griffin.
Glitchy, laggy, empty drop ins, long waits for matches, lots of problems this go 'round. I wonder if the testing community is just getting tired of the every weekend testing schedule.

Weird, when i tested it in Saturday the descent bot have cooldown bug. It can jump right after landing like cossack. So that's why they pulled it offline. I suspected as much. We could use it for the short time that the test server was up on Friday, but when I loaded test server on Saturday and Sunday, Inquisitor had been removed. In my feedback, I stated that with its current speed and HP, Inquisitor isn't that much of a bonus over Griffin. Definitely won't be worth Gold or IP. Its three hardpoints vs Griffin's four hardpoints? Pretty close. Aside from the five seconds of stealth, I don't see much of a difference, because once that five seconds of stealth expires, it's just as vulnerable and just as "glass cannon" as Griffin. On Saturday and Sunday, I had horrible server problems. Normally my matches load in 20-25 seconds at the very most. Several times, I waited over a minute for it to load. After a minute, I said THWI and returned to my hanger. Except for a few times yesterday, it usually worked the second time. It seemed to work better in Beacon Rush than Domination. Several times, I couldn't get Domination to start, no matter what I tried. So I gave up, and went back to the live game to see if I could win anything with last minute Bronze spins. And, no, I didn't win a flipping thing. |

I think ripped off Star Wars - The Force Awakens, for the map. Aka as one dead star destroyer in the sand.

And, no, I didn't win a flipping thing. I had similar problems all weekend. I never saw the new bot at all, and never got to play a Domination mode game -- just waited for players that never came, up to 10 minutes at one point -- so I never saw the new map, either. Even beacon rush had inordinately long wait times, often 1-2 minutes or more. Lots of freezes during games, lots of empty maps on initial spawn, and very jumpy game action, like the targeting window would just jump off the target as I started shooting at it. And the new UI is still 「dookie」. Every TS weekend has been progressively worse since I first signed up for it. I was not a happy tester, and I let them know it in the survey. |

And the new UI is still ?poo-poo?. Every TS weekend has been progressively worse since I first signed up for it. I was not a happy tester, and I let them know it in the survey. IMHO I think it's the new UI. Aside from a little lag here and there, I've had no problems with the old UI. I've been doing the test server for a little over three months. This past weekend was without a doubt, the worst experience I've had. Long time loading or no loading. Game lag. Bots walking in one place for a second or two, then jumping ahead several meters. Spawning on to a battlefield with no one else there. No weapons, unable to move. Only able to look around in 360 degrees. Only option was to return to hangar. I don't think it was the Domination/Beacon Rush option menu either, because we didn't have these issues the last time they offered the two options. Nor do I think it had anything to do with the ongoing event. Because they've run both scenarios simultaneously many times without incident. Blame the FUBAR gremlins , and move on. Hopefully, all will be back to semi-normal this weekend. If the Pixies are smart, and listening to user feedback, they'll scrap the whole new UI idea. Then everything can get back to almost completely normal. |
