Don't worry, no one has had yet access to his chests or any other foundation reward. It doesn't make sense to access them where there are still wipes in sight. Indeed there are some kind of rewards from foundation or kick starter packages which no longer mean anything considering the evolution of the game. The devs said that we will get something else in their place.

@Meltdown . Just got access to the alpha weekend and it opened with an option setting ticked to use my monitors setting, so it did auto open on wide screen which looked pretty good on epic settings that gave 88 FPS and did not warp, but not sure what res it was as there are no widescreen setting options shown in the advanced option even though it clearly works without warping and was not cropped to fit because when I clicked advanced and changed to the highest setting shown of 2560 1440p screen it only cropped at the the sides in and went to FPS of 141. Mind you had a hell of a job getting it back to widescreen using the my monitor setting but eventually found that all I needed to do was apply advanced setting to windows first before them setting to "my monitor" option and apply again and yay came back to widescreen of unknow but looked similar res. So in short widescreen of some res is supported and will be very interested to find out what. I will post on Alpha feedback forum and see what I get. in reply.. cheers

Living in NZ I am fairly used to reasonably high ping 120-250 on most US and EU based servers and frames typically 45-80: these usually have little or no real impact on games played at an intermediate skill levels I typically reach. During the stress test however, although I still had a similar moderate ping and frame, I experienced a significant increase in delay of the control dynamics that was totally unexpected. This caused a serious problem when mobs returned to an unconscious character and began paralyzing it again before I could ever recover and apply a bandage or move such that it became a repeat cycle of unconscious bouts until the character finally became so low it died. I am not sure if it was the balance of this specific cycle or the delay in effective response, but it was typical of the slow response during the rest of the game. I appreciate this is alpha, but wondered if it was just me or did other suffer such issues.

@target Thanks for the clear instructions and have now applied successfully cheers.

@thwunk said in Ranking against total population: (...)see if I can develop the "right " habits. Check the 'new postings' for something you consider interesting. See if you could somehow contribute to the discussion, just don't force anything. Do that once a day and you have great odds to win.

@kralith Thanks for responding, yes it was a global question with the specific link cited as an example. Good to know it is open to all...…..and that even a whisper can be heard. Cheers

@jetah Isn't knowledge wonderful: something that appeared to be a decorative inert object until you know how to use it ! I suppose it is in-keeping with the concept of the game (a quest for knowledge) but in this case a little knowledge was dangerous as I applied the same knowledge I found on other pages. Might be nice to keep it standard and just do what it says on the tin like the others, but that's just personal preference. Thanks for passing on the knowledge.

@jetah Thanks: being new and, as is human nature, I wanted the knowledge (pun intended) immediately. In hindsight I am actually enjoying reading all the info in the news section first hand and found the NDA info in the article about the pre-alpha key. Patience is a virtue, clearly not one that I seem to excel in...….perhaps I should think seriously about making my hero demon.
