I haven't played an arena/twitch based shooter in a fairly long time. That being said, I'm loving TA and have been playing it since closed beta. It's strange though, I either have a really good day, or an awful day, I can tell it will take a long time to be proficient with all of the classes, there is a lot of skill involved.

I know this was the deal I had been waiting for to finally pick this game up. Just a heads up is all =)

Yay I can be of some use in this thread!

I actually stopped playing because of the cost. I guess the main appeal, at least for me, was to collect all of the cards I would need for standard play. You could buy them individually but drafting is much more fun. I have been on runs where I would win 3 in a row, and then use those winnings to draft again, lose all of those, and spend another 16 dollars for another draft pack. You WILL sink money into the game, and 180 dollars a year might not get you enough drafts to collect the required cards you would need. If you want to just play casually you could set aside enough for a draft every week/month, or just look at some of the cheaper decks (I was able to build an affinity deck for about 30 dollars) or go into one of the lobbys that only allow common cards, or premade decks.

Everyone starts out with 3 booster packs. Everyone opens one pack, picks one card, and then when everyones done you pass the remaining cards to the left. Once those packs are gone the process is repeated with the scond pack passing to the right, and finally pass back to the left again with the third pack. Once everyone has picked you build a deck with the cards that you have and then play a tournament. Winner wins 3 or 4 packs, I can't remember.

It shows up under your My Games tab stating it's "unreleased." The only other game I have pre ordered was Battlefield 3 and it let me preload a day or two before release iirc. Hope that answers your question.

Try adjusting the draw distance quality by reducing it from "Ultra" to "High." If that doesn't work, not sure what will. Seems to be a draw distance issue on my end. On Ultra draw distance with the new texture pack, the frame rate was **** again. With it on High, it was 60fps without a hitch, without a noticeable loss in visuals. None that I could tell from anyways.

If you are running any kind of ENB series mod with the hi-res texture pack. Well, there's your problem. ENB kills the frame rate.

That's the strange thing, I will be sitting at 60 fps for hours and then the frame rate will just drop to 1-2 frames a second for only 15-20 seconds. It's so intermittent that I feel like mods have nothing to do with it, plus I disabled all of my mods. This was still happening with a vanilla Skyrim after a reformat.

^ Anyone else having this issue? I'm normally capped at 60fps going down to 40's in more detailed areas but every now and then when I enter city, and a lot of the times the blaccksmith right inside Whiterun, my FPS go down to 2-3 and stays there for maybe 15 seconds and then snaps back to 60 fps. I could be playing the game for hours and it will not happen, or it will happen often, I don't know, but removing mods one at a time including the new HD texture DLC didin't seem to do anything. This is also still happening after a fresh reformat. I'm out of ideas, anyone else having these issues?

Has anybody used this with the 2K HD texture pack? I'm wondering if we need one or the other, or if they compliment each other.
