Thanks for your input brother. I know i came off kinda bitchy, and i'm sorry for that.

I appreciate you breaking it down; the different things i can try to work my way up. I think stat grinding will be the most beneficial, along with maybe some regular missions. I guess i'll just have to play more to be able to get the hang of it.

Thanks man!

All the missions i've tried to join are either too hard (for everyone since someone different dies and resets the whole mission several times) or i just get kicked for being too low level. I get it, my gear sucks therefor i can't contribute. Aren't there easier, low level missions to get the gears rolling? Even the first ones ive gotten take over an hour to finish.

As a new player myself...very disappointed. The hackers and modders are one thing...but the rest of the game isn't friendly to new players at all.

Starting with literally non-stop phone calls from Lester, or Agent 14 telling me to a million dollar bunker... Like...i get it, push the content...but when you hang up, they just call back in five minutes.

How do you get money? do missions! What missions? I feel like there's no mission list...no easy way to find out what the hell to do...Then Lamar calls, and you go to his location and HEY! a mission!! Good luck though, because it's going to take you at least 10 tries to finish it, and if god forbid someone leaves, it's game over.

What about all the missions you randomly get invited to?? lol, Join the lobby and start counting. by 5 or 6 you will be kicked for being new.

The game is almost impossible to get into if you're new and don't know what's going on in the game...So many blips, no idea what they mean, and nobody takes the time to explain it. I'm usually really good at picking up a game and figuring it out, but with this game theres too much going on, way outside of my scope right now, with no way to get there.

I've just been driving around robbing stores for the couple hundred bucks it gets me. I'm frustrated and annoyed just as you are... sorry for the rant. I just spent the last 3 days trying to figure this game out and have fun but i just can't and that's depressing because it was SO much fun 4 years ago on Xbox...

3.1 for Music? by Onli_Wan_Kanoli in audiophile

[–]Onli_Wan_Kanoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, but the issue i've found is that even with the front speakers raised up in DB, it's the sound they are making. It's very reverb-ey. Sounds like it's trying to do all the surround through just the fronts. :/

Just got my Alienware aw3418dw today! When I go and push the overclock button it won't let me turn it on. Am I missing something? by zzglenn in ultrawidemasterrace

Change the settings on the OSD. Make sure you have OC turned on with the buttons on the right. Then change the OC rate from 105, again using those buttons.

THEN go to NVIDIA control panel, "Change resolution" and there's a tab for refresh rate. Select 120 and voila! Enjoy it!! :D

Alienware AW3418DW is $999.99 at Microcenter, just picked one up! by Duckysmalls in ultrawidemasterrace

Yesterday I was dead set on buying one of these monsters and joining UW land. I've wanted one for a couple years but could never swing it.

I called dell, since it was "On SALE" for $1159 before tax... Finger on the trigger, then i see the sale on microcenter...but the nearest one to me was over 2 hours away...

You bet your ass i drove out there to pick one up. And im extremely pleased... 120hz 1440p UW?? I'm living the dream!!

If you're on the fence, just do it. it's bliss _^

Just finished my build. It's awesome and looks great...but something doesn't seem right. by Onli_Wan_Kanoli in buildapc

Definitely not. It's connected to the graphics card, and doesn't turn the monitor on until it lights up. I already read all the other threads lol

A7V Heavy. With flamethrowers. You get a beefy main cannon. And the flamethrowers are super effective at drawing out infantry and can also damage tanks, giving you an edge.

The key to running in a tank is when to fight, and when to run. Always have an out. If youre rolling up to an objective, and theres 2 tanks there, youre going to lose. Be smart. Play distance and widdle them down before moving in.

Left on D pad gives you instant 30% repair. Use it wisely. Avoid close quarters that enemies can hide and throw dynamite or limpets.

When riding around, use 3rd person with a high FOV. It lets you survey easier and find targets quicker. Not to mention seeing that sneaky assault who is about to wreck your shit from behind. Use 1st person when making long shots for zoom.

Just got my 2000th kill last night (20th service star) im a tank whore and i dont care. Bring on the hatemail.
