I really need to make more time for this game.

Anyone else get begged by Resenses? He begged me, I told him I didn't have an extra copy, he said "ok np :)".....and then asked me again 30 minutes later.

Yeah, he was one of the guys bugging me for freebies

Yes, he bugged me. I'm thinking I should just beg him back for a different game.

Tell the beggar(s) he can get his free code here: http://bit.ly/V2yp (it's safe).

anyone looking for a two-pack partner? $10 is a sweet buy for this.

EDIT: Thanks for partnering up, Elliottx!

Yeah, things like this is why private groups are better. If you set them so anyone can invite then it's very little extra admin for anyone in particular.

This game does look alluring, but I think it will be one of those games I download, play once or twice, go 'This is cool' and never launch again.

Someone on the podcast (Zacny?) once said that his Steam games list is a monument to the gamer he wants to be, that's totally me.

Oh, and I'm garion333 in the game.

Added a bunch of people in the morning. Played a game and crushed some guy with only 1 casualty (suicide...) and now my friend list is back to what it was in the beta. Weird, anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah, I've been seeing that all morning. The lead dev's been active on Twitter and has been saying they "sharded" the server. Games and friends lists don't exist between different servers (yet). It almost looks like they are mirror and older server image to the new shards.

Really loving this game but... well, the lack of server planning / stress testing kind of irks me. They've been giving keys out for a year right? Seems like they should have had scaling plans in place, especially with the preorder money available to them.

I'm also finding myself just casually leaving the game open while I web surf. Been playing a bunch of pubbies and all have been good experiences though my record is horrid. This game is like Farmville for hardcore gamers.

Game name is Nimcosi.

I just added everyone on the list from the previous page... time to play some games! This is tons of fun now that I'm actually in MP. I can see how the asynchronous play will be fun - It's a lot like playing Online games at Chess.com. There are many similarities between the two, in fact, gameplaywise.

Aw... exited the game and came back, even picked the same server, and now I'm back to level 1 and my games are gone. : ( How will the world know how I took Robear down in an epic match?

The game was a ghost town during the beta/preorder phase. I think they're seeing WAY more sales than they expected. They're a small indie team with a game that only costs $10 a key, so I find it hard not to cut them some slack.

Oh, and everyone will get their stats back eventually.

I'm going to rename mine "Force Quit" Synapse. I still can't even load up the single player game.

Like Garion said though, Indie developer, caught out by how 'well' they've done. No hard feelings, I just want in!

I haven't had much luck logging into the servers yet, but are you able to play in Offline Mode at all? I was able to play through the tutorial and start up the Campaign last night in Offline Mode.

Game name is cube.

Anyone have an extra key that they haven't sold yet?

For the first time I wish this game had Minecraft graphics so those guys can sell 50k copies on day 1 like some other "games".

Has anyone figured out a decent way to check sight-lines? It has happened multiple times now that an enemy spots one of my guys across the map diagonally through multiple doorways and windows while my guys are standing right outside of a window and can't spot the guy standing slightly to one side.

Just bought this game yesterday and I'm loving the cyberpunk style, especially the soundtrack. Reminds me of playing Shadowrun tabletop w/ miniatures as a kid, in the best way.

Playing as Seraph, send me a challenge and let's fight like gentlemen.

EDIT: I was planning to pass my second key to a friend, but he already bought the game; I'm looking to trade it for a Terraria key if anyone is interested.

Best way I've found is to simulate the other player's moves (guess as to what they're going to do), but I know that's not exactly what you're asking for. You can even place them if you haven't seen them recently (on dark mode). I would appreciate some kind of red/yellow/red indicator in the cone of fire. It seems like you can kind of hit people around corners, ever so slightly.

Yeah, I use the aim arrow to see line of site

Well... was hoping to play tonight but the servers are bugging out everything I try to do.

GRRRRR...

I got an email saying Michael had challenged me to a match, but I logged in and didn't see anything, so I'm guessing we do need to be on the same server ... ?

Should we choose a server? Right now I'm on Texas 4, though I haven't actually played any mp on it.

I had challenged you, but then the servers barfed (again) and I lost all my challenges and current games. I don't think I'm going to play too much until they get their servers figured out.

The way I've been doing it is logging on to the Grand Server, then when it asks me to pick a server I click on Games in the lower left and select one that needs a move--it seems to put me on the correct server to play that game (although I can't figure out how to identify which server I'm on at that point).

Hmmm

Nothing.

Black screen, then title splash screen, then...........

I bought mine through Steam, so not sure if that is adding another issue with the overlay or not. Frustrating, but nothing that can't be lived with.

I figured I would try it again tonight, and monitor that link on the developer's forum to see when that bug gets fixed.
