Extraction Closed Beta: first impressions


(badman) #21

[QUOTE=Shifty.;477725]Basically yes, except the bad servers :smiley:

What really buts a ? on my face is how bad the forum at nexon is right now. It looks like they set it up yesterday a couple of mins before the beta went live. So many things arent working as they should. Maybe I’m just spoiled by the super SD Forum.[/QUOTE]
If you haven’t already, be sure to let Nexon know what forum features you’re missing (not just directing this at you, Shifty).

An easier way would be to bring back an admin command from ET for website hosting and just.

!rename warchest.com forums.nexon.net/extracion

Case closed :smiley:

Lol, sry SD - but not gona test a forum. I mean stuff which has been established since years. Like register with Firefox - not posssible for me, chrome yes.
Like, loging in with my nexon account, but I still can’t see the forum content. On the other hand you can see topic titles of a NDA title - without even having an account - this stuff has been fixed years ago on practically every forum software.

edit: look like a very poor forums software - despite most probably costing a lot of money.

Same as server, dunno if my PC lagged that bad - or the servers I joined, but despite having ok ping, I was warping around.

yeah I was hopping for some adjustments and stuff like choose a merc without disconnect, some features improvements, tweak proficiency cause right now this is just a joke. I don’t talk about the servers cause it’s on the way to change (I really hope ! still no news about dedicated server rental …)
Gunplay still feel the same stuff I’m not really fan at the moment, and movement is still a bit weird.

And maps … Need More and better maps !


(Winnie) #25

yes, with more bugs, more ping and less fps…


(Ch4mpixx) #26

can’t try yet, but that sound awsome !


(TracyJackson) #27

If you look at Nexon’s other games, their forums are a lot better (in term of looks, function, and ofc people) than the Extraction one. Our current Et forum (on Nexon) are pretty bland, but their forums for other games (say MapleStory, Combat Arms, etc) looks a lot better than our new Et forums (with a bit more features and functions, too).

Beta-wise, it felt similar to the alpha one…do hope we get a patch and new content soon or we’ll start to lose players and interest!


(Mustang) #28

It’s the same forum software as we have here. :wink:

It’s just been poorly hacked/bodged for god knows what reason.

[QUOTE=Shifty.;477722]No, thats not the point. You are here since 1 month, half a year ago, it was easy to get servers going, it was easy to have games. But after some changes to the launcher and the game itself, the active playerbase dropped and only the die hard fans are left. Before many new ppl get invited, SD has to fix some serious issues with the game.

[ul]
[li] Launcher should show a server list so I dont have to start the game just to see if someone is playing
[/li][li] objective mode needs proper spawn waves
[/li][li] spawn timer needs to be on the HUD
[/li][li] tweak the proficiencys so it does actually award a team having an “objective” guy
[/li][li] improve performance
[/li][li] overhaul London Bridge, Waterloo and White Chapel
[/li][/ul]
The list isnt complete, I just tried to remember the main topics which were voiced here. If those arent changed, it doesnt help if millions of players get invited because they will quit playing pretty soon.[/QUOTE]

if none of these stuff and some more wont be changed/tweaked in near future, I think even the hard core of us will leave this game…
atm this game is RANDOM, mainly cuz of the spawntimes and obj mercs…

agree with this!


(Dormamu) #31

I had the same problem, got the “this username is taken or something”… cleared the browser history, closed the browser, tried again and got my SDforum username :D.
After 2-3 weeks , you should try to ask StoVe or a forum moderator :smiley: to change it for you.

Gameplay-wise seems same as ever - land 4 headshots (according to the beeps) and still die to 2 or 3 body shots randomly (or a single shotgun blast from 20 feet away). Ping seems 2x as high (still getting 50 on EU but I’m used to 20-25), 120 on US is pretty par for the course. Still get put on defense 95% of the time which is annoying as the maps are so geared to attack (bar LB).

Not really seen anyone new.


(BomBaKlaK) #33

When an alpha goes Beta we can hope for some kind of “massive update” and not just the previous alpha renamed in Beta …


(prophett) #34

Figured there would be some fixes/additions/improvements at the very least :frowning:


(Rex) #35

I really wonder what you guys expected, as they haven’t lost a word about an upcoming patch.


(prophett) #36

I expected more than “/name beta”…


(Rex) #37

Maybe you understood it wrong than. Because this “beta” is not really a beta.


(dommafia) #38

I get your expectation but, the alpha was made to eventually get it to “beta” level righ? So why would they add anything else that hasnt been thoroughly tested. The beta is “our” product from feedback etc. Now we can expect more changes to come.


(BomBaKlaK) #39

This is not my product !
and when SD told us "we have a lot to share with you guys soon ! " I expect a bit more … they don’t share anything we already know. An they dont share anymore info of the futur of the game, or server rental … sorry but Beta feel really weak to me at the moment. there is not even more player to play with, and with the game like it is I have some big doubt about player retention …

We said that before the beta kicked off fully we’d test it with you folks. We tested it with you folks, we found issues, so before more invites go out we want to fix those issues. We’ve told you this already, I’m not sure why you think we don’t communicate.

We’ve also mentioned there is a patch in the works, with lots of changes, that will also be released soon. We’ve said that we’re fixing the servers, as have Nexon. As for rental servers we’ve not made a decision how we’ll handle that yet, but we would like for players to be able to rent their own servers. When we have final details we’ll let you know.

The beta is one day old, have a little patience please :slight_smile:
