Watched my first video on this about 6 mouths ago now, it looked quiet good back then and I have been getting emails from the them so I can see how they are getting on. The ideas of it look quiet interesting and yet again it's another beautiful game. Definetly keeping my eye on this one.

This looks interesting. Also time consuming.

I bought it today. My brother also has it (Etc Etc forum name) and maybe he can comment further as he's been playing. What I know is it runs smooth on a laptop witj a 970m gfx card. Has good looting and permenent reward aquisition. But you lose something in a mission and it's gone forever. I think if we could get a squad of players into this we'd benefit because our teamwork approach.

I'm seeing this as a more realiatic Warframe environment.

It's certainly not time consuming. You die quite quickly if you aren't aware of your environment.

The most time consuming thing is deciding how to mod your gear.

Here is what the mod screen looks like for an AK-74N

Amazing detail. Real quality.

From personal experience now I tried it, the game runs on my 3 year old laptop very well. It's gripping fun and when I actually escaped with nice loot it's joyful. I did get sniped a few days ago nearing the extraction point with an SKS and a nice AK on my back, my own fault for not covering all angles.

Time consuming only if you're good then? Well we all should have no problems there :norty:

Had a look through their site and some videos, starting with your one there albert. Looks like an interesting game. Have any dMw-ers got together for some co-op runs yet?

This has been on my radar for last two years, shame I missed the Christmas sale, my radar was playing up. Hope to get in with the next sale. Friend of mine can't stop praising it.

Gorliath · January 05, 2018, 10:27:51 AM

Well I tend to do Scav first anyway (30 min cooldown) and twice it has spawned me next to the extraction point with some not awful gear. You don't get the XP if you take less than about 25 mins though so lots of hiding.

I don't know anyone else who has bought the game. I really am not pushing this on anyone as it's pretty expensive and it's not like the Steam sale was last week and everyone has enough to be getting on with.

I will say it's like PUBG on steroids. I get some really nice gear on a raid a few nights ago and we got killed just reaching the extraction point. Yesterday, I did 2 raids (take about 20 minutes if you look around, kill a few people and loot some buildings) and extracted with my prizes. It was very exciting. They generally only have about 12 human players per raid, so you could have 3 teams of 4 or just individuals. The maps are pretty big, not as big as ARMA or PUBG but you can walk for 10 minutes to get from edge to edge. So there's a good chance if you are stealthy you can avoid all contact. Then they put in the AI SCAVS who won't shoot on sight but if you provoke them they will gang up on you big time and they rarely miss a shot.

Yeah found that out the hard way. RTFM before you shoot everyone.

albert · January 05, 2018, 02:45:15 PM

I think you can get XP before 25 minutes but you can't just sit still and not either search, explore, loot or kill. I spawned, shot 2 humans and 2 AI, extracted within 2 minutes and a few hundred XP.

It's a lot easier to survive and get loot if you are in a group. Less sneaking around. I suppose the only risk is a sniper out of range but you can actually see them even if they are far away.
