    So for those who are playing is everyone just a storm? Like nothing but wall to wall cape boys?

    I think the heart of what you're asking is: Are Storm's still kind of OP. Yes. Yes they are. I've nicknamed the ultimate "The Fight Ender". We joked earlier that if you want to learn anything from a boss or elite encounter, like attack patterns, don't have me use my ult.

    Well its more I want to play a storm, but I also want to be a unique snow flake who is loved and worshipped by all for my uniqueness.

    In the couple of missions I've done storms and colossus seem about even. Only seen one of the ranger and interceptor though.

    I expect we will see more Rangers once people figure out they're #1 at taking down shielded enemies.

    Interceptor? I'm not really sure though

    I've been running into a mix of everything

    Only had 3 of one class once, and that was me and two other Interceptors

    Yet to see 4 of the same class, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later

    Because the demo was an old build and not the finished product.

    And usually demos have to be premade.

    also consoles

    edit: to explain more, the approval process for releasing things on consoles is long

    edit2: to explain a little bit more, they can only get the code they submitted approved (or something like that), so they couldn't just get approval and release a demo with a new build, they had to stick with the initially proposed demo code when they did the demo

    Played since the servers stabilized this morning. Some breaks for food and AFK's by squad mates but I'm level 8, just unlocked my second javelin.

    So far this game is absolutely living up to what I wanted from it. Some of the attention to detail and QoL stuff that didn't really get a show off in the demo is really nice. You can tell BioWare really spent what time they had left to polish everything up. If they can keep the content train rolling and keep up with the pace of a live game, I think BioWare has something here. All I want to do is play more at this point.

    It's something my friend used to complain about with GTA 5. You have all these wacky outfits you can put yourself in. And the majority of people just put on a suit, maybe a hat, and go with it.

    Playing the release game, I feel even more strongly that the demo was a mistake. I don't think the demo was a disaster, but when you play the release game, you realize how much they polished what was a solid foundation in to something worth recommending.

    I've got about 2 hours in. Feels so much better than the demos. I've had 1 or 2 mobs disappear on me but that's really all the bugs I've seen so far. Storm feels way squishier but it also feels easier to freeze/combo the big dudes with Colossus shields. Wish I had unlocked Ranger or Chonky first

    Ok important put this game on an SSD! cuts down load times from several minuts to mer seconds. And you won't have problems with mob/scenery not loading in propperly.

    And for the color discussion, it's a bit sad you can't see a lot of the details until you zoom in. Like I run the pattern matterial thingy, so it's red with dark lines all over and close up it looks magicly and running around it looks dark red =D

    This is pretty much how everyone learns about CPU sockets and their importance, heh.

    It is actually comical how outdated my setup is. Updated the MB, CPU and RAM and my measly 1060 is pulling in 60FPS with High and Ultra settings. Like night and day. . .this game already looked amazing but holy cow.

    Okay could someone give me an extremely brief rundown on why I can't play the game even though I have Access Premier? The popup saying I can't play it says I can play on the 22nd, but a popup in the launcher told me I could play, but it won't let me after a software restart and a hardware reboot.

    You have to activate the trial thingy, you should get a prompt telling you you can play. Check the game in the store, or restart origin and see if you get the prompt.

    Try taking one of your cards out to see if it's SLI. Also you could try messing with v-sync, refresh settings, and going back to an older driver.
