Rumors have it that Cpt. BetaCake was once a mere mortal. In human years he would be 28 years old. Nowadays, he finds peace in sharing gaming news and leaks.

    and the unmentioned changes anyone? =)

    • JakeKuuni

      There’s a few umentioned changes – but not as many as usual (and the usual is usally many!).
      The reason for this is that they’re rolling out the code first and foremost, which is something we won’t really notice – afterwards (which is not yet) they’ll roll out the date :)

  • Venom

    Cool – tell us when they do anything big re animations or character creation please =)

    • TheBloodChrome

      They already have in 0.8 and it was a big improvement, currently they seem to be working on UI, AH, Banks polishing and still PvP minigames testing every day.

      The animations still have been fixed and all the ones I see look awesome (im hammer and chaos and love the animations) theres still the issue with the legs but i dont notice it (i never did) tbh I had to zoom in and look really closely to actually see what people were on about and theres really not much wrong with it whatsoever.

      • Venom

        .. does assault rifles still lack omph?

        • Brigade

          I felt they did in .8 and .9 but this last patch it feel much better in this patch. I mostly used it and blood for ranged healing and a little damage but it seems to have gotten a boost

          • Venom

            Cool .. so this patch was applied after beta weekend #3?

          • JakeKuuni

            It was. :)

          • Venom

            Nice anyone wanna post a video of the latest patch considering the NDA has been lifted ? I am particularly interested in character creation and assault rifle animation / sound in addition to any new weapon animations :D

  • Venom

    I know but keep us updated if anything changes =)

    I played all weekend beta`s and for what i seen i love the game, there r still bugs but no mmo have a prefect lunch. Any way i found only one problem which is quite big for me, the game is putting to much strain on my hardware i have a high end PC and compared to other mmo`s the diference is big, the Temp`s on my VGA go up to 80-88c wich is quite high, and on low settings. check the drivers and tested my vga and everything looks k, so i think it`s on the game side.

      I have found out, that in DX9 I could have twice as much FPS as in DX11. And only thing which you will loose is Tesselation and SSAO. They look nice but also need alot of power. Also, setting sliders to 4 does not make much sense as there is little difference between 3 to 4 and if you set advanced GFX slider to 2. You will loose godrays but gain alot of FPS (20 in my case). got Core i7 at 3.4 and geforce 570 gtx.

        I was using DX9 wit low settings no shadows, still Temp`s were going up

        • Reggie

          If you have a high end computer, DX9 is going to LOSE performance for you. Use DX11 no matter what your settings are!

          • One

            Now that does not make any sense… If engine is not well optimized, then DX11 is not going to help. And can you define high end? anything 5xx up from geforce should be high end enough. Yet still, DX11 is slower. And no better card can help with that, is simply an engine optimalization.

          • Reggie

            That is a load of crap. On ultra with DX9 with my GTX 470, I get 22-28 FPS, If I change it to DX11 I get 40-50. Keep your misinformation to yourself.

          • Brigade

            Soo i got a high end computer……dx9 still runs better then dx 11. Funny thing is back before .8 i got 35-50 on ultra with dx 11 and now i get about 12-20 and get 25-35 on dx9. Im computer stupid so care to explain that one? That with my deleting the rdb hash files and updated drivers.

          • R2fcsd424

            I get about 20 fps more from dx9 too.

            There is really no one answer though because making use of dx11 features requires a lot of the rendering code to be different. How these changes work out for you depends on your system.
