official forums hurt these games more than they help

Yuki would make an excellent cooler for competing software companies.

There are a bevy of crashes outstanding right now that are particularly agregious Walker. Folks are CTD after a few seconds, lots of blue screen reports, some hardware failure reports, a few OS corruption complaints, etc.

IMO it looks like they have a nasty threading issue they are having difficulty tracking down.

I'm sure they'll have an NGE in place soon to resolve these and many other problems, like people having fun while playing.

Today's gamers are so spoilt, so whiny.

Back in my day we were happy to have four-way multiplayer going over IPX, in fact, we were ecstatic!

I still remember when EQ closed their forums to subscribing members only. You would have thought someone was prodding these peoples' characters into concentration camps.

I have never had to wait in a queue to post on forums.


EA is so cheap they apparently won't even pay bandwidth costs for their own forums.

There are some pretty good trolls there, though.

"Please allow us to have a gearscore-alike addon. I don't care if it's 3rd party or not.

Right now there is simply NO way to know if another player has skill or not. Adding a simple gearscore sort of thing would fix alot of issues with grouping and I'm not even 50 yet."


well played indeed!

The game is one big memory leak...for a game that lets only 100-150 people in to same map it grabs 1,7gb of memory after half an hour of gameplay.
