General Discussion / Discord channel to coordinate playtesting, meet people and chat about balance

« on: June 01, 2016, 06:50:38 pm »

Here is the link for the Discord channel. From here we can easily coordinate playtest matches, meet other players and chat about balance in the general game. Feel free to join and hopefully we can have a sweet nice room with some developers as well.

General Discussion / Unity 5.4 will add DX12 in March, will Guns of Icarus support it?

« on: February 15, 2016, 08:04:04 am »

Hey guys!

Long time no see! Didn't really play the game over the last year or something, since I was awaiting some significant updates. Now the game sometimes had some terrible performance for me (AMD user) especially in 4v4 when a lot is going on. Now I wondered if the game will will support Unity 5.4 and therefor also have DX12, so it atleast get's some significant improvement in hectic situations when a lot of drawcalls have to be done.

General Discussion / Will Guns of Icarus Unity 5?

« on: October 01, 2014, 01:47:54 pm »

Will Muse games make the switch to Unity 5 for Guns of Icarus? I think 64 bit would come in handy for the Adventure Mode

General Discussion / Sometimes it's like MUSE doesn't want any money.

Where is the big button, donate now, buy the game, or something similar? I just say a pretty small play now button, but not really advertising it on Facebook and other social media... Did you already try to Greenlight the game on Steam? I think that should do it.

Feedback and Suggestions / Server filter keeps resetting?!

« on: May 30, 2013, 09:53:09 am »

The filter server keeps resetting, I never used the server filter in 2 months time, but to try to get less lag I am always searching for Europe servers now. But the server filter keeps resetting itself upon leaving a lobby and trying to enter a different match. Fix please?

General Discussion / Does Muse lack skill to make an MMO?

« on: May 16, 2013, 11:26:14 am »

Greetings awesome people!

Now this is a rather offensive title as you see, but I want to have a discussion going on and this is not an insult towards the developers in any form. (I love them actually!, they are very great.)

Anyways, let me say this, I have been playing this game for 6 weeks I think (Maybe longer) and the lag is sometimes really insane, even like days like today. (When the devs are saying servers in Europe are in top shape) Let me sum it up real quick,

- Hits are not recording correctly (Firing multiple shots, even more then a gun is allowed to fire, and hits simply not registrating)
- Suddenly time slows down and then goes ultra fast, which is pretty annoying (Ship warping?)

I think that is pretty much it, but I was just thinking, if this is already happening with a 2v2 setup (Yes I played 2v2 and there was lag, it's even worse at 4v4) how will they make an MMO out of this? Will they suddenly change all the netcode or something? If so, why don't they do it for Guns of Icarus Online without the MMO part already? (So for the base game we have now)

TLDR: I am concerned.

Anyways, I love the guys, I am just questioning myself how they could make an MMO if I see what the state of this game is at the moment.

Kind regards,

Leon

PS: I do play lag-free games aswell, so maybe it's not all about the dev team doing something wrong, maybe it's some servers are being old? I don't know exactly, I think on 2v2's it's a 50/50 case, seomtimes it lags sometimes it doesn't. On a 4v4 game it's a whole different story though, and I think the dev team could tell more about that, and what they might (if doable) do about it.

Feedback and Suggestions / Borderless Windowed mode, where is it?

« on: April 25, 2013, 01:18:47 pm »

Hello all!

I am playing this game a while now, (2,5 week or so) and I am astonished that there is no borderless windowed mode in this game. Now I checked if Unity currently supports this, and yeap they do.

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/108430-Borderless-window-fullscreen-windowed-mode (Confirmation that Unity supports it)

Now, if Muse only has to implement it with minimal effort, what is holding them back? I mean, this should be seriously standard and especially since this is becoming some kind of MMO. But also because sometimes you just have to wait a while before a match starts, and borderless windowed mode makes things just a lot easier... (People with multiple screens would seriously benefit from this)

So if it's easy, make it happen please ^^ And if it's not easy, I like to know why it's not easy (Out of curiosity )


Anyways, keep up the good work! The game is awesome!


Cheers,


Leon

General Discussion / Just received a message from Xfire :)

« on: April 18, 2013, 02:57:37 pm »

Hello people at Guns of Icarus Online,

As you might know I contacted Roberts Space Industries (I got no further information about that yet). Though I don't want to sit still, and want to make sure this game is promoted properly. (Please Muse Games, do more giveaways on popular sites, I am sure Gamespot would love to give out 200 keys, in return you get a lot of promotion).

So I decided to contact XFire (112k followers on Facebook) and hope they could make a post about it, this was their response so far.

I hope they will make a post about it, we will see what the future may bring. I also contacted some other Facebook pages and I will keep you guys posted. ^^

The very best,


Leon

General Discussion / Just got an email from Robert Space Industries!

« on: April 17, 2013, 11:59:25 am »

Hello legendary Guns of Icarus Online players!

I really want to get the Kickstarter project funded with a lot of stretch goals, so I reached out towards Robert Space Industries and ask them if they could promote the Guns of Icarus Online kickstarter. The reason I did this is because Robert Space Industries is creating a very similar game (It's comparable the last). The only big difference is that they are focussing on a sci-fi (with spaceships) approach and Guns of Icarus Online is in the style of steampunk/dieselpunk.

Anyways, this is what I have for now, I will update this topic if I hear more

General Discussion / What to do if you claimed a price twice?

« on: April 15, 2013, 11:59:16 am »

Hello fellow players!

I just redeemed some prices I got due getting ranks, and I was curious (Since I often beta test games) if I could redeem a price 2 times....

http://puu.sh/2ACQZ

And this is the result: I got 2 identical items now... what can I do? Is this a legit bug, or is it meant to trade or anything?

General Discussion / No visible crew on enemy ship?

« on: April 10, 2013, 06:55:03 pm »

Why am I not able to see enemy/friendly crew on the ships? With this game it's quite important to see what the enemy is doing, so you can see which guns are manned, for example. Why did they leave this out of the game. or is it a bug?

General Discussion / Oculus Rift support?

« on: April 10, 2013, 04:24:02 pm »

After playing this game for 2 days, I can only say... awesome! This game is really awesome and I encourage everyone to try it out.

 I was just thinking, what do you guys at Muse Games think about the Oculus Rift? (3d virtual reality). I think it really fits perfect into this genre, since vision is very important. For example you have to spot if a ship is an enemy or a friendly, you have to know where the enemy comes from, and there is truly much immersion if you look around you and all you see is dust clouds! 8D (Sounds awesome, right?)

They should perhaps add it as a stretch goal for the Kickstarter, I really think people will like it!

General Discussion / What an awesome game!

« on: April 10, 2013, 01:21:40 pm »

Bought it yesterday and playing with 4 friends, just wow! What an awesome game, and the community interaction with the developers is really outstanding! I will promote this game as much as I can ^^ I already bought the Adventure mode on Kickstarter, which will be awesome aswell, this game is the ultimate! =D
