Anyone else having trouble with this? I have been trying to DL for 3 days, it will get so far and then stall, worse still, for some reason my DL manager restarts the DL from zero instead of picking up where it left off.

Reports from beta testers? I'd be interested to know.

It's not a bad game but it's quite laggy at times. I seem to lag out randomly much like the Vanguard beta was.
Got a lvl 15 Commando on US2.

It has some massive memory leaks right now, for the most part it seems pretty fun the few hours I've spent playing it although not terribly challenging.
Maybe higher levels get harder?

[roadrunner]

I have to say the closed beta had much less lag and have to agree with Rhonnin that some memory issue exist.

The game does get harder as the area we were in last night is pretty easy. Before the closed beta wipe I had a lvl 18 toon and found several mission I could not solo anymore.

The concept is good but if the performance does not get better it may share the same fate as VG. It is still beta so they have the debugging stuff turned on so that is part of the issues with performance but it still needs to get better.

I have not tried their form of crafting at all so can't comment on it.

[rhonnin]

It shares many similarities with Auto Assault, especially with the crafting, not a bad thing though really because AA was a good game. It had much more back story than I expected which was a pleasant surprise, and the music is very cool, I also thought the area that is supposed to be the front lines of a battle actually felt like the front lines with large artillery explosions and such.
I have everything turned to low and performance is poop, not too bad for the first 20 or 30 minutes but after a while I get a slide show with frequent freezes that last several minutes. That aspect is much worse than I would expect for an open beta game even with the debugging there should be much more optimization, I did read they pushed the release back a couple months though so it should improve. The up side is that even on low it didn't look that bad.
