Apparently framerates are really shitty for most players so it might be some time before we see TOW ;/

Niccceeee!

I hope some of the stuff implemented in TOW will make it's way into the PU as well.

Imagine TEST having a base like that in the not so near future lol.

 

[Tei]

AC needs some love and I hope that TOW will bring some more changes than what we saw in current PTU.

 

[maynard]

OK, I'm hyped

 

[Talonsbane]

Hopefully, after ToW is released, the devs can get feedback on what players like & dislike to help improve all 3 of the sub games.

Hyped!!

Yep I think thay mensioned it at the last year CitizenCon, the obyective of TOW is to have an eviroments that conbine all the tre aspect of the combat scenarios (on foot, oon vehicles and on ships) to have some data and allow them to balance and Improve the combats mechanics at 360°.
Also this will be the first interation of atcual combat in an open a big eviroments, where sniper rifle and other such long range weapon could really make the difference.

I recall hearing one of the other goals with TOW was to improve perfomance and network issues relating to the FPS part of the game. One of CIG's videos explained how FPS gameplay works well in testing, but then performs horribly in the PU with issues such has poor hitbox registration and grenades being "dropped" instead of thrown.

I'm excited to try out TOW!

If they were watching me playing I'm not sure if they can make a hit box big enough...

 

[Talonsbane]

If they'd seen me play, I'd rather them shrink the hit boxes as small as possible so that I can survive longer while I do my best to evade attackers.

Edit : This is still acknowledgement that I know that I'll still keep being killed off, just hopefully not as often or as easily. Maybe I should change my handle to something like ISuckAtGames. ;p

 

[Shadow Reaper]

I know people talk about me behind my back. They are envious of my tow jam. What they don't get is you can have tow jam too, just. . .

What?

Oh. Nevermind.

Argh.. I was hoping it was his screen capture software that was making things so choppy

Guy that made that 2 footages with game info showing have ok rig, definitelly nothing crazy but you would expect better fps from it:
intel core i7-9750H, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060, 32gb RAM

 

[Aramsolari]

Ok I'm officially pumped.

I'll be camping out in that bush over there....

no...over there..

 

[Han Burgundy]

TOW is going to be utter shite unless they can peg down the desync and stuttering issues. I REALLY hope they keep this particular bun in the oven until it is ready for outside consumption. If they release TOW in a buggy state and try to lean on it as a new public-facing game mode, it will NOT look good on CIG. I don't know what is going on over there, but lack of meaningful progress on the performance of the Object Container Streaming system leans me toward believing that the tech didn't quite pan out for them...I hope I'm wrong, because if I'm not the game as it was sold to us will be impossible to complete and we will end up with a watered-down waste.

I totally agree with you - they should be really careful how they present themselves to potential citizens!

And I'm also pessymistic about CIG's performance.
With 3.9.0 mess and plan to do Free Flight with a few days left and raw halfcooked release that has been only days in Evocati and PTU.

But I also have hope, so let's see if there will be positive surprise with what is coming next ;)
