In order to address our connectivity issues, we will be applying client and server patches at 4 AM PDT / 12 PM CET. This means the servers will go do down for an hour and you will also need to download an update from Steam before you can play again. If you see the "Client/Server version mismatch" error message, please try updating the game on Steam before reconnecting. Servers will be back up at 5 AM PDT / 1 PM CET. Thank you for your understanding!

Only just found out about this a few days ago and it looks awesome. Unlike the other games similar to this it all looks so well made. In terms of both graphics and gameplay it looks better than to the other games like this.
£30 seems a bit expensive but it looks like something i'd get eventually. Are any keys being given away or is that not going to happen as it's releasing tommorow?

I've been watching some gameplay, is there a point to the non-armoured clothing options? Do they do anything or are they just for cosmetic reasons?
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Is there going to be a launch discount when it goes into EA or is released from EA?

I cant wait to play tomorrow ! 
I don't think they've specifically stated anything about weapon skins but they have mentioned skins. It might end up just being clothing related stuff.
Got my pre-order key, it was in the spam folder. So check it if you still have not received it.
also no pre-load?
I mean 10GB ist for me like 30min but other people will have to wait hours.
I'm told its because EA don't allow Pre-Load so :3

I've only watched some gameplay for now, but can someone explain how this is in any waya "Massively Multiplayer" game? I've seen that there is 100 players in a match but that isn't usually what determines if a game is an MMO or not. Unless i've missed something it's instanced matches that are created and end when no one is on the server, it's no an MMO than something like Battlefield or Mount & Blade is when they have lots of players on a server.
Massive multiplayer is usually describing games with hundred or more players in an instance, not to be confused with MMORPGs which are different in their structure.
The game currently have 100 people per server, which is massive and multiplayer.
The game itself describes it as:
- Multi-player
- Online Multi-Player
- Stats
While the popular user tags are:
- Early Access
- Massively Multiplayer
- Survival
- Action
- Open World
- Violent
- Multiplayer
- Adventure
- Shooter
- PvP
- FPS
- Third-Person Shooter

I was under the impression that "MMO" means the same as "Massively Multiplayer", just people seem to think "MMO" means the same as "MMORPG" all the time. For example Planetside 2 is an MMO but not an MMORPG.
It isn't just the large amount of players that determines if a game is "Massively Multiplayer" from what i've seen, it's also whether it has a persistent world/server. Going back to the Planetside example, the map is still there and still continuing even if no one else was there, but with something like Mount & Blade Warband it doesn't suddenly become an MMO despite having 200 player battles.
The O just means Online but the term MMO is not exclusive to persistent worlds.
The closest comparison you'll find is as a MMOFPS/TPS in which it is a large scale map with the option for team based action and combat while adding the persistence via experience, or in this case BP, which is used to open boxes with loot, which as far as I know is only cosmetic.
It emphasizes the player ability over anything than say an MMORPG which is usually heavily gear and stat dependent as well.
You can also argue the leaderboard and stats make it "persistent".
I wouldn't draw the comparison to a MMORPG, but due to the number of players and its light progression mechanics it does fall under the MM(O) umbrella. Even the older games in the genre only had like 60-64 players in them I believe.
TL;DR The word Massive Multiplayer Online is about as meaningful as MOBA; A lot of games fit under the term technically and there is no "true" definition, only typically the way they work but not limited too.

By persistence in MMOs i wasn't referring to your character or stats or anything like that, it's the world itself that's persistent. Things like leveling, stats etc are RPG elements and when those gameplay elements are put into an online shared, persistent map with a lot of players it then becomes an MMORPG. Same thing with Planetside 2 like i mentioned, it's the usual multiplayer gameplay, but the difference between that and something like battlefield is it has both a persistent world/server itself (how it's continuous and ongoing, it isn't suddenly created once someone joins and doesn't disappear when it's empty) and the large amount of players, and that's something that also applies to MMORPGs, which is what i was getting at.
Basically, the thing games that are definitely MMOs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, Elder Scrolls Online, the Final Fantasy MMO, Star Wars Galaxies, The Old Republic etc have in common with each other is that they have persistent servers. If all that was required to be an MMO was "It's multiplayer with lots of people" then suddenly Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, the Battlefield series, Red Orchestra 2, Mount & Blade warband and a huge amount of other games would class as MMOs.
In this case while 100 players is a lot, it's missing the other important part that's typical of MMOs in that it has no persistent world, the servers are just created when needed, and for that reason it doesn't seem to be an MMO. "Massively Multiplayer" (or more specifically MMO) isn't a term that should just be interpreted literally.
You're just thinking about it wrong. It's only massively multiplayer in that it has 100 people per game.
It's not an MMO.

How? i thought "Massively Multiplayer" and MMO are the same thing, MMO is short for a "Massively Multiplayer online" game. I don't remember seeing anything about the two terms being different before; people tend to use "MMO" to refer specifically to "MMORPGs" but that isn't really an accurate use of the term.
Looking at the store page for this there's no mention at all by the developers of it being "Massively Multiplayer or anything along those lines", that's a term the community has tagged it with. Either way they're both terms that seem so vague they're thrown onto things pretty much at random. Even something like War Thunder with like 20 vs 20 matches (can't remember exactly) is an "MMO" according to the developers.
Found solo games a lot quicker on Asia since most Australians played on it as well.
Idk what to tell you outside what I already said. 100 people servers are looked at as massive and it's a multiplayer game hence massively multiplayer. Nothing more behind it and games like CSGO are not massive. 64 player BF, maybe, but to qualify for massive I'd say you need at least 90+ but that's just me.
Lol

As i said before, "Massively Multiplayer" is not a term that should just be interpreted literally. I haven't even found anywhere the developers themselves have called it that, anyway. They just say it's an online multiplayer game.
Regardless i really hope this ends up doing well. What i've seen of it so far looks awesome and i've not even really played this style of game before. The price seems pretty high unfortunately but i'm still sort of tempted to get it anyway.
Beyond the list of planned features, have they said much about what sort of thing they're hoping to add to the game?

I'm confused, the game said he ran over the player
Best source of info straight from the man himself is via https://youtube.com/watch?v=EbHUASBS0Y8
As they talk about the game. Not much of announcements and there's probably a better compiled list somewhere but not that I have on hand.
Also is $29.99 a lot these days? Seems cheap for a game you can get 100s of hours worth in.
It is a bug afaik
If you damage someone and they exit while moving it counts are you running them over as exiting moving vehicles count as getting run over.
Could also be a display bug idk.
Kill is kill 😁
