Been in cbt since day one, there have been alot of issues and alot
Of issues still not resolved, to sum it up, its not ready for open beta and 95% of the community thinks the same thing.
No idea why they are rushing, the founders program raised 5.2 million they only been in devolopment for 14 months.
My fear is people are going to try it and relize its broken and very unoptimized.
Every patch lowers framerates and adds new issues.
Im worried about it, its still a great game but people dont want a broken game. |

This sums up my experience precisely. Frame rates plunge when you get into closely-packed fights, even with low settings, and the world has a sterile, wallpaper feel to it, (such as running through a forest in a 80 ton mechanical monster and miraculously leaving all the trees untouched).
This one needs a lot more love and polish before it's ready for prime time. It's nowhere near where World of Tanks was when it hit open beta, and let's be honest: this is release. The cash shop is open and there will be no more wipes. They can call it a "beta" all they want, but if they're taking money for it, it's a released product. |

| Bloody cancer of the gaming industry for almost a decade: release wayy before ready, let first-try purchasers become unsuspecting beta testers, start patching @ day 0, eventually never really resolve the MAJOR issues of the game, start working on game's sequel, rinse/repeat. Fcuk me this is one key component why piracy continues.. |
