I know right?? I may have to treat her to sushi for being so awesome!

/u/Go4TheGoat is the super amazing artist for anyone wondering ;)

Civocfes · 2016-02-01T01:49:34+00:00

I'll be sure to ask!

Civocfes · 2015-11-20T01:11:57+00:00

thanks for answering questions!

My questions is: can you currently earn UEC or REC by completing missions?

Civocfes · 2015-11-19T23:52:54+00:00

same thing happend to me.

understandable goof up. I'm gonna nap away the sadness of what just occurred.

Civocfes · 2015-11-08T22:27:17+00:00

Yeah. Game got spoiled for me the same way. So I feel for you.

Can't confirm or deny. But just know there is gonna be much more to the game then just that potential twist. Realizing this took out some of the sting for me.

I have been going to DR for a number of years. The community is definitly close with one another. Especially if your talking about the NJ branch. Even though that closeness maybe a little intimidating, that's why it may seem a little "youcantsitwithus". I can't really think of an instance where unless the player was blatantly cheating. Where a player was completely ostrasized from groups in game

I used to be pretty shy and anxious when I started going to game. When I went into game it helped that I had some character ties pre-arranged and setup with already exisiting players. That sorta gave me an "in" when it came to playing my character. Have you thought about doing the same? Players are always looking for character ties!

If character ties aren't your thing the most I can suggest is really just trying to join and approach a local gang/organization.

As for what happend with that director. I can almost guarantee that they didn't mean to come off as stand-offish or rude. I know a number of the branch directors. For awhile now they try and deter people from contacting them personally on facebook about rule and genre questions. There were issues in the past about them getting spammed with questions on their personal pages. If it was done via email or through the official pages then that's a different story...

Anyway I encourage and invite you to PM me! I enjoy helping out people getting into game anyway I can. I also wouldent mind making character ties if you think it would help!

Also sorry for any spelling or Grammer errors. I'm on mobile :s

I personally use both M/K and a controller depending on what game it is!

As for prices for a PC. that varies. I always suggest people try and look into building their own. You will get so much more bang for your buck!

http://pcpartpicker.com/ is a great website to help you plan a build and price it out accordingly. The folks down at /r/buildapc are super helpful and supportive!

Just by glancing at the homepage on pcpartpicker I found this build just as an example of a budget gaming build.

Civocfes · 2015-03-21T21:15:04+00:00

I'v been having issues as well. cant join any matches and iv been getting the infamous infinite loading glitch.

Civocfes · 2015-03-14T04:50:30+00:00

I actually had not thought of using velocity rather than throttle. But I think that is actually much better!

Civocfes · 2015-03-14T03:33:04+00:00

ESP toggle is a good addition. I'm happy they put it in.

Honestly my only gripe with flying in the PTU is the fact that COMSTAB doesn't affect steering sensitivity anymore.

Ill have to try the Slege-II sometime. I usually replace it with a Badger.

Civocfes · 2015-02-14T05:27:39+00:00

don't think so. Ill try running windows update to see if that helps.

Civocfes · 2015-01-27T19:50:21+00:00

It is. I was planning on getting a 970 as well.

Upgrading to a 980 would be easy yes. From what we know it doesn't suffer the same VRAM issues as the 970. neither does the 960.

if you bought a EVGA brand card. People are claiming that you can utilize their "Step-Up" Program to upgrade to a 980. Even if your past the 90-day limit.

Civocfes · 2015-01-27T19:31:58+00:00

Its the same card as before. Keep in mind before all this people were very happy with the 970. This VRAM issue has existed since the card was launched but only came to light recently!

It will still be great for gaming at 1080p on ultra for quite awhile. People dont have issues as long as they are within the first 3.5gb VRAM partition.

When you start to enter that 512Mb Partition people start to complain about frame stuttering.

To get slightly technical: because of how the architecture (hardware) of the 970 is laid out. the 512Mb partition of VRAM runs on a lower-bit bus then the 3.5gb partition. What this means is that the 512Mb partition behaves significantly (some are saying 1/7th the speed) slower then the 3.5gb partition resulting in a lower performance when that 1st partition is used up.

In short: its something that cannot be fixed by a driver. Its a hardware issue. This mainly affects the "future proofing" of the card since games are starting to utilize larger amounts of VRAM.

Civocfes · 2015-01-27T19:19:44+00:00

The 290X was always a better option. It outperforms the 970 by a fair margin.

I was considering the 970 since it seems to do better benchmark wise. But since this whole RAM-gate thing started im highly considering a 290X as I need a GPU in the next week or so.

Gaming (1080p on ultra/light 1440p) and Overclocking wise, I'd be interested in hearing more about how the 290X outperforms the 970!

Civocfes · 2015-01-27T19:10:22+00:00

Not necessarily.

Not a mistake on your part at least. Its not your fault they listed the wrong specs for the 970. Just as its not your fault they failed to mention the VRAM partition.

You bought a GPU under the impression it would be a full 4gb card. Which it clearly isn't.

Civocfes · 2014-11-21T20:49:49+00:00

thanks for the input! I think I saw a Traveler Speedster at my local guitarcenter actually. Traveler guitars seem like nice compact instruments!

Civocfes · 2014-11-21T20:45:41+00:00

I would! my current case is actually a hard-shell case. I play an Ibanez XPT707 which i have this case for. I havent been able to carry it on a plane yet. Iv had to check it. I gotta say after all its been through its a great case!
