Anyone Else Who Remembers The Closed Beta?

[Rettycombine]

When the Gorgon, Hek and Boltor was the all powerful trio, when Volt was a starter and considered awesome, when you got excited the first time you got a dual effect 95% multishot mod, and when the Gram, Scindo and Fragor ruled the Melee kingdom.

[Bovopolont]

And when the game was much more repetitive? And when the maps were all the same? yeah i remember that :P

[SoulEchelon]

When the forums were filled with people actually being helpful? When there weren't threads full of idiocy? When the devs could actually hop onto the forums and get actual feedback instead of asinine complaints and doomsaying?

 

I remember.

[Noogums]

When Mag cleared entire maps with her Ult. When Puncture could go through whole bloody planets. When Alloy Plates and Rubedo were the bane of any aspiring craftsman.

[Sixty5]

<--- Open Beta scrub with a tiny epeen.

 

I remember most of that stuff though, disregarding Volt and the Mods

[vengfulr3ap3r]

I remember. I remember the old mod system. When grineer always made that weird, "sound" (Can't explain it) When you killed them by headshot. When the only planets on the map were Mercury - Pluto and nothing in between. No sedna, ceres, eris, etc. 

[ashrad]

i rember the tree's for everything  and i rember the way it was either excal or loki as the 2 starters

Not that the game isn't still extremely repetivive these days.

 

Also maps are also still the same! We just got a few more tilsets these days which repeat themself.

Actualy i beginn to like the idea of all levels having clear layouts, but with the mission changing the way we can access them. Meaning a Grineer galleon is always build the same, but in some missions we can only access our objective via route A, in others we can reach it via A and B and in some the routes become blocked and we have to find a new way to reach our objective via route D.

 

We are allready seeing the same rooms over and over. By now they might aswell give us the chance to use them for navigation ala:

"Okay this were the 3 cannon rooms. Now there are 2 ways the game could lead me to the reactor room. Ah damn, only the one through the barracks is open!".

 

 

Remember when this was normal?

Oh look, longswords being usefull. Also we still have awkward jerking strike animations these days with the Fangs, who look like you are a crazy drummer.

I joined a few weeks after U7 was implemented. 

I wish I would've played in the closed beta too.

[Blatantfool]

I remember pretty early into the beta, actually.

 

I've been in Warbros for almost a year now. Best clan.

[matto]

I wasn't there, unfortunately.

[Tsukinoki]

I remember when volt could use one overload and clear an entire corpus ship in an endless wave of lightning.

Or when you could stack mods and run faster through a level than it could render the tiles, or get an insane level of puncture that allowed you to shoot between tiles.

PGO is better.

[Blatantfool]

PGO is better.

 

 

The only thing better then Warbros is Warbros with a fancy hat.

Oh yeah , is way less repetitive now .

 

1/Enter in mission

2/Kill and follow mini map exept if minimap is bugged open the big one

3/Loot or open oxygen stuff / capture target / or save hostage (PS : do step 2 kill whatever coming to you)

4/Repeat previous step

5/I almost forgot , go back to def to get key or survival and back to step 4

[Azure_Kytia]

I remember Mod System 1.0, and Rank 10 Rare Fusion Cores. I remember 10k crits with quick melees and Time based Rhino Invulnerability.

 

I remember 400% Multishot, and Potatoing your weaponry just to unlock more Mod Slots and the Ult abilities.

 

I remember the joy we all felt upon the release of the Grineer Asteroid Tileset, the "OH BOY OH JOY IT'S A NEW TOY" sensation that rocked the Orokin legacy.

 

Yes, I remember. I remember it well.

[teddabod]

The tree where you popped fusion cores into the square slots (and there were circle slots if I remember correctly)...

[StanicEnemy]

Remember when the stalker had braton vandal.

[Luminati07]

Ah, back in the day....

Back when the Hek was the God of weaponry.

 

Back when you needed a potato to use your ult.

 

<3

 

My favourite time of the past, however, was when Stalker was first released.

 

The forums were full of players going "OMG got attacked by this thing called the Stalker".

90% of replies would be accusing them of lying.

The game was pretty fun back then. Even if it was repetitive. Still glad I reset my account, and still glad I decided to stick around, and support this game.

[Arkezuli]

WHY DID I HAVE TO MISS ALL THAT?!?

[Azure_Kytia]

can't have newfads without oldfads.

 

And vice versa.

I remember when it was only the Hek and the Gorgon. Then they fixed it so even the blueprint required a mastery rank, and the Hek was like Mastery 7, which was barely possible at all.
