I purposely put the drums far apart so each person would have their own drum. I have yet to see any decent solo playing and any team playing just sounds uncoordinated and sloppy. I do have to wonder what's stopping someone from cheating though. Surely a single person could record 8 beats and layer them together and just edit in a video to make it look like it was recorded live.

Certainly a huge turn around for the game. It was really looking like it wouldn't make its fund as last Monday it still had just under half way to go. I'm glad to see it reach its goal.

@mnemoidian: That's basically what Rebecca told me just that if we couldn't contact our Warlord, we'd have to deal with support but seeing how it's now been dealt with, fucking great. The drums are less than 2 hours away from being completed and I'm looking forward to a bunch of us just banging on them to attempt to make a tune. At least with @rapid being Warlord, he can change the daily message to keep people informed to what we're doing as a clan which he's already made use of.

@mnemoidian: Well she said we'd need to contact support if we couldn't get hold of our Warlord but if you can that's cool, at this point though we clearly need someone with a more active role. Jackel started this clan because the last clan leader stopped being active and he's done the exact same thing. Last I checked he hadn't been on in ages as the daily message is far from daily. It should be something useful that everyone can see like "Contribute to the drum room" or something like that so people are at least aware. Maybe we could have a separate thread with a poll and people can vote for who they'd feel best be Warlord.

Well the holiday stuff will be similar to what they've done before. A lot of people saw the Easter event where the Grineer wore bunnie ears and the containers were eggs. During the closed beta they had Christmas and Halloween events that were like that. It sort of reminds me of PSO where the lobbies would have things floating in the sky.

With regards to clan stuff, Jackel would stay as Warlord but we could get someone else promoted to be a second Warlord but it's really not crucial right now I guess seeing how we can't actually go down to the lower clan tier to reduce costs. It does suck though as we are a 50+ member clan with only an active user base of less than half of that. I mentioned the reason we wanted to go smaller was because we wanted to make a drum room and she seemed pretty stoked by that idea.

The PS4 version should be fine, I just hope that PC and PS4 players play together seeing how it's a co-op game and maybe remove the PvP stuff if need be. My only other concern is performance. It's really hard to gauge how powerful it really is as there wasn't a whole lot going on in the demo plus it won't have Physx as that's exclusive to Nvidia. I asked about what state the game would ship on the PS4 and she told me that it would be 11 for sure but maybe even 12 depending on how things go plus cert. I also asked when do they consider it a non-beta and she said she doesn't know when they'd drop the beta tag but it will continue to receive big updates for the foreseeable future as we discussed games such as APB and Blacklight: Retribution as APB during its beta received huge updates once a month but once it became a shipping product, it failed in the market and died after 6 weeks I believe.

Yesterday I attended Eurogamer Expo which is sort of a mixture between PAX and E3 in London where the public can play a bunch of games that are coming out soon or at some point next year. While it was crazy busy (only got to play 7 games in my 7 hours of attendance), a bulk of that time I just spent chatting with Rebecca at the Warframe booth set up within Sony's PS4 section. If people are unaware of who she is, she is the community manager at Digital Extremes and hosts the live streams. She is also recognizable as the voice of the Lotus in the game. She actually told me she was meant to be doing a bunch of VO this week to replace the current stuff but she couldn't as she was here in London.

I'm going to have to start with the bad news, I asked about some clan related stuff and she told me that if enough of us contacted support, they could make someone else within the clan a Warlord as I told her our situation to which further bad news is that clan updates only work one way so you cannot go from a larger group, to a smaller group so our best bet right now is to actually get more players within the clan and once.

As for the PS4 version of the game, it looks fucking great. The demo they had on show was only a single stage, wave based mission up until wave 5 so it's hard to say at the moment how performance can be effected by lots of enemies on screen plus particle effects, etc. As a M+ K player, I found the controls a little difficult to get used to but the PS4 controller also felt a little stiff as I found running (by clicking the left stick) a little difficult to pull off but swiping on to touch pad felt natural and responsive (unlike the back touch on the Vita).

Right now, it's still unknown whether or not PC and PS4 players will be able to play together and updates will still need to go through a cert process with Sony. Rebecca said she's unsure how long it could take but it's unlikely that it'll have the sometimes daily hotfixes the PC version has but main updates will be day-and-date.

Finally, I asked a few lighter questions such as holidays and scarves. She told me that they're going to continue with the holiday event stuff which Steve is actually very against but the rest of the team love it. As for scarves, I asked if there will be any other way to obtain them without platinum. She told me that they're still in the planning stages for that but one could be a scarf event but didn't go into detail on what that could be.

I hope I got some good questions answered as I didn't know if anyone was going to be there until I actually saw Rebecca in the booth so these were all off the top of my head. I feel like I asked a bunch more stuff but I'm having trouble remembering everything so post below and I'll see if it's one I asked :P

If you're looking to get your first HDTV, go for a Pioneer. They don't make them any more but their Kuro line were the best and getting hold of one now costs thousands. Seriously though, go for a plasma but actually take the time to look at the screen and do some tests if you can. My current tv is a Samsung (don't know the model) LCD but the panel is pure trash. The picture is somewhat soft and if I'm watching something or playing a game where there is a lot of darkness, it may as well be haunted there is so much ghosting.

You could always try the Eurogamer site. People are selling tickets on there.

@alistercat: Do we need to be in GB shirts as I don't know where mine is.

I'll be there. I totally made a topic about it asking what people were excited for by only 1 person replied :P

I feel the size of the world needs to make sense. GTA V is big and packed with a lot of detail and hidden things for you to find or just to see and do whereas a game like Dragon's Dogma felt really big but it actually wasn't as you could only run to places and running back and forth between the same places got rather dull, very quickly as you're only looking at grass.
