Just a FYI to the community,

I spent the $99.99 to join this game just to see what it was all about. Once I got into the game I experianced Massive Lag and massive graphics problems. It appears as if they should have run several BETA tests before they released it to public access. The server has been down ever since my original connect - 3 days ago. I have sent a request for a refund to their support site with no reply for over 72 hours. DO NOT GO THERE - almost looks like a scam. Hope the Televison release of the program is better later today.

I was part of the closed beta. I can say that I don't know what they changed in the code between the closed beta's end and release day that caused so many issues for so many people. It wasn't that buggy in CB. I have wondered if it was an issue in the animations that caused some of the graphics problems as during CB they often used simple place holder ones while polishing other stuff for opening day. That in itself isn't unusual but for it to be that buggy is. They jerked some story content to sell the TV show leaving you a litle clueless if you don't watch. I didn't buy it personally as there isn't a lot of launch content and I had worn it out testing. To be frank it's a mediocre game "in my view" that will only make it if the TV show wows. I really hate the over reliance on outside vent or mumble type apps to communicate with fellow players in any substantive fashion too. They didn't make it easy to be social and it is supposed to be an MMO. Trion has been a good company to deal with in years past and I hate seeing them have issues though.

I was also part of a couple of the closed Beta testing.

I did not experience problems like the OP is describing.

I agree with Tank Talbot, and the biggest turnoff for me was the completely inadequate chat system.

I'v heard of this game, never looked it up though. But if were to guess its a MMO FPS co-op game where you shoot zombies, aliens, and or monsters? Oh and I saw its connected to some TV show somehow. Am I right?

I heard the show started today in the US.. tomorrow in my country.

Is the show good or at least somewhat worth watching?
Any impressions? I love scifi shows and syfy movies (SHARKNADO!!!).

I have been playing this since release and have been having a blast so far.

There were some annoying bugs left over from beta but most have been cleaned up now, thanks to them releasing patches every three or so days.

With a huge patch hitting today as well (I think the first episode mission is also going in today as the first episode should have been on air by now?)

Its is light on some features right now, but at its core its just simple fun.
