I'm considering trying this game, but it looks like the install is going to take a day or two. Is this a bad thing and should I stay off the servers?

if your connection is so slow it takes 2 days to download 200mb, is it fast enough to play online games in the first place?

if you say that you haven't seen their servers flip out and give you download speeds in the 10-50kb/s range you'd fair well be a liar

or someone who hasn't downloaded updates on release day

[motorbitch]

indeed, havnt played on last release day.
whenever i downloaded something from them, it came through fast and steady.
but, yeah. server capacity has been a problem with the game as its userbase grew so fast.
so far, it works perfectly today tho.

That is simply scary.

Edit: What tier is it and how much pflops does it use?

[motorbitch]

tier 10, and all of the possiblle 1511 pflops

Aaand after countles tries i finally managed to cram a T5 laser cannon on a T1 "tank".
It's nothingm ore than a box with 6 wheels and a big cannon on top. All i could spare was several armor cubes protecting the front wheels.

[motorbitch]

hum. bug?
before the last update the devs said a single t5 gun should take you to tier2.

[Aklyon]

He didn't say what tier the tank ended up as.

If its still T1 tho, yeah bug.

[Sonlirain]

Just to be clear.
By tier 5 i mean the fifth laser cannon from the left. No the L5.
The one i'm talking about is L3.

[Aklyon]

Just call it L3 then. Less confusion ensues.

TF2 works OK enough. People complain to me about my lag a little, but I've managed to get a 3 kill streak as heavy, and got the Rasputin achievement. Still, I think I'll just follow this thread until we upgrade our internet from the 'lite' version.

[motorbitch]

got bored by my t10.
there isnt realy anything left to improve, aside of building it new from the scratch for "fun".


so, i decided to build a t3 noobstomper to have fun and because yeah, im that cheap.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

tons of fun there. feels like i am cheating XD

[LoSboccacc]

I rebuild everything from scratch a lot because it is fun. The only part not fun is scrapping cubes one at a time.

Since I have started using a common base for everyithing it is a bit better, still right clicking hundred of times :/

[motorbitch]

it becomes less fun once you hit the 600 blocks mark.
