yup basically map looked lovely but is so laggy its unplayable for me (UK) that and theres so many people on the que was at 13/14 for a bit might try again after the twitch show but can't say much more.
Katie, love the new map but I have one unrelated question. (It's about your gift, I can't say much more but if you saw the gift I gave Nathan you might have some clues). What kind of grenade/explosive is your favorite? Frag, Krak, melta?
(hillbilly accent) well shoot me al with a lasscanon and push me off a cliff in to a warpstorm and call me a heretic....... a new map now ay...... well ya all good folks better have ay some sort of a bolter now... cause this here in Arkhona is a special time of the year now with all this Christmas and ice and things we all will be shooting each other now.
New map's here, but it's pretty damn buggy(Lots of invisible walls in awkward places). I tried playing with a Stalker Bolter up high, but the sheer number of invisible walls made it impossible to really do my job of suppression. Like for example in the building across from C, by the side of the Marines Deployment, there's a huge invisible wall on the top half, and both corners of the window on the C objective. A Chaos Space Marine in that corner can return fire against me, and I can't hit him.
Slapped together a video for those with major lag, who have been unable to get in game or didn't see the Twitch yet. It's a pretty map, Domination is a great mode but I echo the statements in other threads about the size. Epic scale but it can take what seems forever to get from point to point and makes defending the points tough.
Well, the map for sure is hella fun. been putting a few hours into it and I like the constant push from all sides. It also gives some longer ranges for snipers and heavies to shine. I love having a heavy bolter especially on A and B. I feel that the air assault has lost out on the map, but a few more hours will show if that's true or not. Over all I think it is a solid step forward and tough to play (which is a definite plus). Below a few things I noticed: I have to agree with the lag though. I'm in Bulgaria, and the game sometimes grinds down to a halt for no reason. (I play with a shitty laptop, but it also happened on a friend's high end rig) it is the same for the Promethium Pumps. regularly every 2-5 minutes. There's also a ton of objects vanishing. I often see enemy players hiding. the music seems to go on and off at random. some times it seems to be because of where you stand. there's points around A where I can hear the music clearly and then move one step and it's gone. same goes for the character voices. the player overview is also steaming with visual glitches. shapes, colors and lines flickering in and out the whole time. makes checking anything a pain. And the spawn points. I click one and get teleported halfway across the map. is that a feature? I get it that when the point gets captured that you spawn a bit further out, but clicking C and being spawned between A and B makes no sense whatsoever. That's it so far. I am really loving it just one question. What happened to the load out screen? I'm really itchy to get my hands on that
Some people are complaining about lag, but the new map is running ok for me. However, I can't handle the lighting in the map. Too dark for me. I have trouble seeing objects in games as it is and the darkness on this map is really messing with me.
