We should not have done the Maximum Security PVE Mission. Those missions definitely require an engineer with rocket turret. I thought we were doing pvp and was specced so wrong for all of that. For PVE recons do the most damage by staying back and sniping, I usually out DPS tanks when I sit back and snipe. You were running up to them and engaging in melee which is hard to do especially since the healer is concentrating on the assault guy who usually leads the way.

It definitely isn't anything like WOW except for maybe there are healers, remember the elf video? LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLwUjyP-dkQ

As far as PVP goes, some of those guys have been playing for weeks now and know exactly how to play and counter Recons effectively. If your a melee Recon you have to sit back and pick off people who arent at full health or run around in groups and gank people.

Like Gridiron said we didnt even get to play the real part of the game which is the MMO AvA world. That part is going to be badass and that's the part that will require a monthly fee starting in March, so we'll have a month or so to play that part of the game for free and see how we do.


EDIT: Here is a good article on the real MMO RTS portion of GA http://www.massively.com/2010/01/14/faq ... uest-mode/

With all this negative light you guys are putting in the game, im kinda skeptical.

Nah, I'm the only one who actually owns the game posting anything halfway negative, and even then, that's just after they jacked everyone's lvl up to 50 for the last couple hours of the beta. SO in a sense I was like some of the WoW players who buy a lvl 80 acct without ever having played at that lvl.

yea I was gonna say if you had another day to get used to everything you would have been fine dirk

did i mention that they'll have kick ass vehicles in the MMO portion of the game?

Before I knew what was going on, I ran into some of the ground vehicles in the Arena. Pretty neat stuff.

edit: played the mech and then a tricycle thing. The mech was weak as shit, unless I was missing the special weapon or something. The tricycle was boss.

i missed the all the vehicles as they were totally random. I dont know if the mech is a vehicle or if you were playing the mission where each team gets a mech and has to move it to the other side of the map 3 times... its actually pretty fun moving around in the mech, of course you have 6-8 enemies all descending upon you trying to destroy it but i still made it to the other side

name's reserved as pacifist, game downloaded & installed. now to lose my houseguests this weekend so I can play.

my in-game name is MoTiV, I'll be on Friday leveling up to 10 for the pre-start. Also, I've begun looking around at alliances we can join so we can participate in the AvA battles

Just did my ingame name.. Ugly

orly

sweet!!!

when everyone gets a chance read this over:

http://hi-rez.custhelp.com/app/answers/ ... /a_id/151/

it explains the AvA part of GA, which is the real essence of the game.... This game is pure PVP pwnage, this game doesnt rely on PVE crap

This part of the game will be free the entire month of February but will incur a monthly fee of $13 starting in March, so February will be the time to decide whether or not you want to invest in this game.

Not sure if everyone knows this but tomorrow is the prerelease for everyone who preordered. You can DL the game now and reserve your name and on Friday they will allow us to lvl our characters to level 10

Also, AvA is what we'll be focusing on and our agency (name will be DPA or DnkyPnch) will be joining the Civic Alliance. So for those who are interested in joining us let me know your in-game name and message me when you get in game for an invite, my name is MoTiV.

I may sell my WoW account and join you guys. why not itll be something to do on the side plus WoW can suck a fat C*CK now.

sweet bro, like i said before the real part of the game is AvA so there is not a lot of PVE grinding, except for leveling and even that you can do in PVP battles...

Just got the game today, its installing now so i should be on in a bit. my ingame name is Arukaen. Add me on steam : jewboy555 or xfire : eoehiei to play.
