This is absolutely unacceptable.

Same here; I couldn't give a damn about the challenges. I don't really see the point of it unless I am missing something.

Have you shut Origin down and tried again? I had a strange login issue on Thursday saying I couldn't login so I closed down and it worked when I started Origin back up.
Yeah, just rebooted and everything is fine now.
How do you know how many kills you need for the challenges when regenerating? The challenge lists have various numbers - 5/10/20 etc, so you get multiple levels for each challenge. Do you only ever need the base level to regen, or do you need to get a certain level? The wikis don't seem clear on it.
Like the gooser challenge just says kill 5 ejecting pilots, and gen 5 says do the gooser challenge, but apparently it's 50 pilots?

I think it means level V of that particular challenge, which would be 50 pilots.
press Y in the filter list to split up every challenge, it shows everything.

I lost everything, was around level 40 and the game simply reset. One of the respawn devs saw my post and pm'd me, but as far as I know it's not fixed yet.

Your probably right. Amongst all the crazy stuff going on I kept forgetting/missing the eject cue so I chucked it on. I will see what better options there are when I get back on in a few hours.

Aren't game saves and stuff like that saved on the hard drive? I don't see why they would be.
Bunch of artists and programmers at Respawn came from SCEA. Some even joined like 7-11 months ago.
both locally and online
I lost my level and campaign progress on PC. ORIGIN I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL STEAM
Fantastic game, played for 3 hours last night and it felt like 1. If I didn't have responsibilities I would probably have made it an all-nighter.
Couple of things I think could do with reworking. The way Titan kills are credited is flawed. Too often I've depleted almost all the energy of an opponent for a team-mate to get the credit with the decisive shot (usually at the point of reloading). There must be some way of registering amount of damage per player to determine kills/assists.
Grunts, spectres and pilots can be hard to tell apart from distance and their markers don't always appear quick enough. It feels like a con trick when you open fire at a grunt or spectre only to give your position away for a human opponent to pick you off. Encounters with AI are simply not interesting enough to mitigate this.
The match-making can be off. Some matches were extremely one-sided in our favour and at one point pitched a load of level 1-10s against our level tens and twenties. Of course some low level players are extremely skilled but the final game stats spoke for themselves.
Otherwise this is the best online shooter I've played in a very long time. The Titans and manoeuvrability of the pilots opens up so many options and strategies. It feels like I've only just scratched the surface of this game and can't wait to get stuck in for more.

Here are some parameters that can be added to the command line (PC version). Right-click game properties and enter:
-novid
This stops the intro videos
+cl_showfps 1
Show framerate and cpu usage etc
-high
Force TF to load with high CPU priority

Youtube says I have to disable "Safe Mode" to view it. Strange. Thanks for the link though.

People have this same exact complaint every time a new Halo game is released. It's part of the shield dynamic.

Gen 3 requirement is rubbish. I hate shotguns!
Almost there though...

Does Titanfall have a need for that?

The shotgun in this game is amazing. whatchutalkinbout

Despite there being so much to this game, I'm surprised how balanced this game feels, though there may need to be a couple of tweaks here and there. The see-through-walls perk, especially combined with the power cell perk, can be devastating. It makes the game a lot easier, almost to the point where I feel like I'm cheating.
I want to say having cloak as an ability needs to be removed, but I haven't encountered too many problems with it.

Origin: VWdrewz if any aussies are lurking and want to play some Hardpoint/CTF.

I believe it is quite a CPU-intensive game. Some one with a better knowledge of these things can probably detail this better than me.
I read about these settings via: http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/03/15/titanfall-config-guide-the-best-settings-to-maximize-your-effectiveness/2/

Haha, clock doesn't hide a pilot at all. It is good for getting distance sure, but Stim is far better at getting the jump on someone. In Hardpoint many use clock thinking it helps a bunch but the cool down period is too frequent for them to hide anywhere.
Kills and deaths do NOT count during the Epilogue. I'm not sure why a gaffer before was so adamant that they did count.
The same happened in the Beta.
Thanks man thought I was going nuts lol

Cloak is good at range and especially for popping out to chip away at Titans. At close ranges, the most you buy yourself is a quarter-second of reaction time.
Wait..what? So a titan is yoshi and you are mario? 5 out of 5 that is a system seller right there!
