Has there been any thought as to which server our regions will be on?

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

I don't know how well this game will run on my laptop.

It's a first gen i7 720m with an ATI 5730 mobile GPU and 16 gigs of RAM. I'm thinking my video card may be an issue.

Shouldn't have any issues. Might not be able to at max, but will run smooth at low to mid settings.

 

[Smiley90]

All those lots with fences around them and some storage containers or whatever. WTF? (Not including the building that's in progress in the top center).

These remind me of freight storage. They store what your industrial sector produces (should fill up with white "boxes"/containers?), which you can sell to the global market once you get the special trade specialization buildings going.

At least that's what they COULD be, off the top of my head.

None at all, probably would have been worth finding out where most everyone is located. Any server suggestions?

 

[flashburn2012]

Aren't those supplemental filler objects for your other industrial buildings? I guess if they really bother you that much, you can bulldoze 'em. Or you might have to bulldoze the surrounding buildings to get rid of em

No clue what they are. You can't select them or anything. Really annoying.

You can't select them directly, but if they're just part of one of the buildings next to it, it would make sense that you couldn't. The only way to be sure would be to bulldoze the buildings around it and see if it goes away. Or just upgrade the roads and let it go high-density.. they look like the sort of thing you'd see in a lower-end industrial area.

wait.... we have to pick a server?

 

[Shaundakahl]

Those look like props (obsolete term) for the industrial buildings around them? Are the actual buildings clickable?

I had this in beta - it seemed linked to the size of an industrial plot. If it's too small, it gets used as a junkfill. I didn't have a single industrial plot except for one corner of one intersection, and on it sprung up a shitty vacant lot with a propane tank.

 

[Dreamwriter]

I've been trying to avoid media coverage of this and I'm sure that this has been answered already, but what are the circles on MetalMurphy's maps?

I'm just gonna guess at what they are, but the game regions allow multiple cities to work together to build large projects, I'm guessing those circles are where the large projects can be built.

I don't think so, they don't ever change or anything.

Before I would have an entire block of those buildings (3 of them) with nothing else there. The roads are already medium density. I got some more next to high density roads too.

I don't see the reviews in the OP. How is this? I haven't played SimCity since the original on a school computer in elementary.

 

[Fixed1979]

Server location. NA West, NA East, Europe, etc.

There's a review thread, but it's a little sketchy in there.

 

[Mugaaz]

Looking for more players! I'm on US West. If you want to join my region send an invite to Mugaaz.

NA East!

How so? I haven't looked into yet, not planning on it :lol. Is everyone bashing the game or what?

I don't think server locations will matter much. We aren't playing a FPS here so latency isn't going to be an issue. Whoever creates a GAF region will need to let them know the server they choose.

 

[eroots]

Anyone in GORGE #2 ready to do this?!

 

[Smiley90]

VPN tactic isn't working for me, it gives me an error... oh well. It says my game unlocks at 9pm though, not at midnight, despite being from GMG, so I hope I get to play at 9!

 

[wenis]

Dont want to jinx it but I am doing pretty well so far! Got a decent amount of cash and my Sims seem happy. 17,000 odd so far.

honeymoon period

 

[goldsoundz]

SimCity 4 countdown to SC5 stream: http://www.twitch.tv/talutha/new

He's pretty good at the game. So excited for tomorrow!

There was some "interesting" conversations happening earlier today. It might have calmed down since then though.

Pretty sure you're right and it'll be fine regardless.

 

[Mobius 1]

I apologize in advance for the repeat question, but I'm away from a desktop computer.

When is it going to unlock tonight? 9PM ET or PT? Did EA let you preload it via Origin?

 

[Fixed1979]

PT and no preload.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

the city size is a bit of a buzzkill :/

9pm pacific time for NA.

No preload.

 

[Phreaker]

Yeah, like 2.5 hours from now!!

 

[Spl1nter]

Making roads is to much fun.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

the city size is a bit of a buzzkill :/

Then play a full 16 city region, and control them all.

Making roads is to much fun.

Yeah making the roads is very enjoyable. Love the system they have to guide you on the layout to make things even. Will be neat to see different layouts in the long run.

 

[Dead Prince]

create one big spiral.

 

[Chance Hale]

5 and a half hours until amazon sends codes :/ Whyyyyyy

 

[Herpes Reasons]

i want bigger cities. size matters.

btw, after 10mins of play, im already in the red.
im glad im not a politician.

 

[Fumoffu]

Same, rewatching Band of Brothers to pass the time! I've watched enough streams of simcity!

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Actually you would make a great politician. Seems to be the requirement these days, or at least what people favor.

 

[Pandemic]

5 and a half hours until amazon sends codes :/ Whyyyyyy

Least you only have to wait 5 hours, I've still gotta wait another 36 hours

 

[mavs]

Use the next two hours to become a master city planner, neighbor

If you're already playing maybe you should create our region?

 

[Salsa]

I was reaaaaaaally looking forward to this but it caught me on a bad time money-wise. Good to hear it's good though, cant wait to get it.

 

[eroots]

this is true.

 

[EagleBurnn]

People favor the color of their ties more than their values...actually scratch that, it's just the color of their tie.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

i dont mind creating it.
i'll just need a region name for viridian woods 3.

Use the next two hours to become a master city planner, neighbor

i dont even know what this means. everything is so fucking expensive.

Which server did you create Titan Gorge #1 on?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn, Amazon won't be sending keys out until 12 Pacific? Come on now, I really won't be playing until mid day tomorrow then.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Less than 2 hours to go!

 

[RoKKeR]

Does anybody have experience with pre-ordering a PC download from GameStop? As in what times they usually unlock. It just says 3/5 for me.

 

[Burgess_101]

Which server did you create Titan Gorge #1 on?

Europe west. I completely forgot about the whole server thing I hope that's okay

 

[FINALBOSS]

Anyone in GORGE #2 ready to do this?!

I am dude, I am.

ALready got you added on Origin.

I'm staying up to watch this baby unlock and download. Hopefully it downloads quick

 

[imjust1n]

Can someone tell me how I download the game so I dont have to wait all night to play.

 

[Phreaker]

i dont mind creating it.
i'll just need a region name for viridian woods 3..

I'm drawing a blank... GAF-VW3. Are the leadboards for region too? You know we will be on top with your mad mayoring skills, so we need GAF in it no?
