I'm curious about the specs that some of you have. If you have a weak CPU, you will have poor performance. I have a 2500k, and I'm fine.
In the UserOptions.ini file I recommend setting ShadowQuality to 0, that should improve your frames quite a bit. After setting this, I have almost constant 60FPS, unless I'm around a lot of people or something.

Yeah my rig is a couple years old, but having an i7 is probably saving my ass. I get ~30fps most of the time. I haven't turned off shadows.
Your CPU is helping a lot for sure, this engine is harsh on CPUs when the game isn't fully optimized.
Even after optimization this game is probably going to be really CPU heavy. All the on-the-fly voxel calculations (especially sub-voxel meshing) are pretty intense.
They should be this month some time. If I had to guess, the caves will be in the week after next. Basic combat may also make it in by the end of the month.
Great to hear! I am having so much fun as I am getting better axes and picks. the rate at which i can dig holes is amazing!
So, I got into this, installed it, but unfortunately my computer can't handle it.
Running everything on the lowest settings nets me a 16fps average with frequent drops and my computer runs very hot (takes like 2,000,000k+ of memory as task manager tells me), and after a few minutes of roaming around it crashes to my desktop without so much as a notification afterward.
That said, from the tiny bit I played, I'm so down for this game. I'm not a big MMO guy, but this really seems like an amazing next step. Just being able to pick away at the side of a hill and actually walk down into the indent makes me think of countless possibilities.
Still, the game needs some better performance tweaks. I can run most modern games fine at medium-low settings. In fact, typically it's only things like shadows or draw distance that make my computer chug. Even with everything at low on Landmark, a lot of the assets looked higher-quality than they really needed to be.
Anyway, I'd like to get back into it when I can actually run the dang thing, even if that means waiting for the 99% happening PS4 version of the full game release.

Nothing for AMD?
Not that I have heard of, I believe there are texture filtering options though. I'm unfamiliar with AMD though.
The island hopping to switch to different tiers will be going away completely once the tiers are introduced. The world will be a mile deep, so the tiers will add a ton of content underground. Almost all of the tier 2+ materials will be underground instead of just spread out on the surface. There will be recipes to go discover, treasure, npcs to fight, etc... eventually.

cool, thanks.
So I have been playing for a few days now, and it's just amazing how just mining and chopping away at trees is so much fun. Then there are the insane looking houses to discover. I found one yesterday that was a dragon's head made of sand in the desert. Looked small until I traveled down the stairs to find a little hovel with a giant planetarium inside, hosting a huge burning sun in the middle of the dark room.

Fking still crashing on me.
Well I'll PM you one and then anyone else can quote to reveal.
I do not know about a list, but I sure am one of the people who want a key.

Thanks a lot! Downloading it now. ^^
I took the middle one. Thank you very much!
Tried the other two and they were taken as well
Does anyone else have any? I'd like to give it a shot.Okay I'm back in. I tried the game again on the 7 day pass I was sent and I liked the new additions made to the game. It seems to run better as well. So I purchased the Settler's Pack again. Initially I had gotten that with a gift card and then upgraded to the Trailblazer with my own money. Not sure if I'll do that again though I do want those costumes but I'm not sure how much money they're worth. I'll see how much I'm enjoying it this week.

If you want access now during beta, yes.
If you want to wait for it to be released (unknown date), then it'll be totally free.
There'd no value in the $20. Usually you at least get the cash shop equivalent in currency with these pre-release packs. You can make your own equivalent pick in an hour.
The $20 is just to pay early.
The main draw besides playing early, is the fact that people playing now will be able to keep templates and items when the game opens up. The extra time is great for people that plan on selling items on player studio. Also, the founder pickaxe is able to harvest any tree, which allows people to bypass needing to upgrade the axe, and focus on upgrading the pick.
I guess I didn't realize that about the axe. How is selling things on the market going to work? You set your own prices? I assume it won't be like tf2 hats where you can make real money though right? I like the game, I just don't like the presale packages.
SOE is supposed to be discussing player studio very soon. All we really know right now is that yes, players will be making real money off of the items, SOE gets 60% players get 40%. They mentioned just last week that one player has managed to earn $100,000 in Planetside 2 so far.
Pretty much, I had very little motivation logging in, now I have none. They'll be adding some cool shit over the next couple of months, but I'll wait for open beta to jump back in.
is that up for grabs?
i mean, i know there will be a wipe, but i would love to enjoy it before it's filled with other people's stuff. i got used to it with starbound, i can get used to it with this
It's tied to my account, sorry. I think I got a code the first time, but I can't recall for sure.
Have you opted-in? With the way they do these limited beta invites, I figure every person will get one that wanted one.
i'm in, got in yesterday. so you get codes randomly for extended time?
I guess. They probably just think they can hook more people into paying to beta test by only giving out weeks at a time. I like the game, but I'm not going to pay for it in its current state for little to no reward.
open Beta is definitely going to be a different beast, and i'm excited for that.

I am sure this has been asked... but is there anyway to activate my current key on steam so I can use the steam version instead?
I didn't even realize this is on Steam now. I would be interested to know this as well.

Not currently. For right now their "guide" is to add it as a non steam game.
