You guys heard about the holiday surprises?
I'm quite excited.

E:
Btw, what would a good outfit for TR on Mattherson be? (Mattherson or Miller, i guess)

TotalBiscuit (From YouTube game review fame) has an Outfit on Mattherson, I believe.

Most people like The Ascended on that server(TAS). Personally I get frustrated at the people who spam the voice channels too much, but that's a minor complaint.

IIRC the name is Drop the Brit, and there is much silliness.

Such as: Dancing Prowlers, Deckard Cain, and also just TB's usual wit.

99% downloaded, 12:15 at night. Screw sleep, it's time to spend several hours optimizing my settings play.  :D

I played this a bit tonight, too, but got really frustrated with the infantry visibility bug.  It seems like it's about twice as bad since I last played a few days ago.  People were constantly flickering in and out of existence, who weren't even that far away.  There were several points where I could tell from the gunfire flying around that there must have been a horde of at least 10 enemies grouped together in an area, and not a single one was visible to me.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

The more players and vehicles there is in an area the less you'll see them, move somewhere else.
And it's not a bug per say, it's their shitty dynamic rendering system =P

That's the worst design choice I've ever seen in a FPS. It practically makes long and medium range combat unplayable. You're better off camping in a corner CQ and shooting with twitch-reaction shots.

I'm also bemoaning the lack of a decent rental system right now.  I bought the Ghost rifle, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to use it.  It had been 8 days since I trialed it for 30 minutes, and it was going to be 22 more before I'd be allowed that again.  The descriptions and stats tell you almost nothing about how the weapons actually play.  Feels like such a huge waste.  Why the fuck would anyone use a weapon for mid-range that needs at least two body shots to kill, but forces you out of the scoped view so you have to completely re-focus on your target from scratch for the second shot.  Any other weapon is going to destroy you every time.

The trial system sucks yes, because you can't try the weapons with any modifications which can make a big difference.

Exactly, that's the biggest problem with it IMO. I have my basic weapon tricked out with attachments in all the slots, so any other weapon I trial is going to seem significantly less effective regardless of its stats. And it's not like I can get around that by stripping my own weapon of all attachments and then comparing my own bare weapon with a bare trial weapon. Some of the weapons are specifically designed for long range engagements, so they're going to suck at short range by design and at long range due to the lack of a scope. It's silly.

It doesn't help that a lot of the weapons feel pretty same-y.

And that you get 30 minutes of trial before getting locked out for 30 days. A week would've been plenty of time between trials.  >:(

The 30 days cool down is only for the trial of a weapon that you trialed already.
