There is rain and small debris flying around... shaper storm inc?

Stupid work. I agree. I've had to go into work as "essential personnel" the last few days even though we've had our entire campus closed due to the horrendous -30 degrees Fahrenheit actual temp (wind chill was close to -60!) so I feel like I should get today off. Rage.

I joined one mission that had already been basically completed - just the puzzle to do - and then got the infinite loading bug. I think I'm giving up on this game until like a big sale or Christmas.

Acrypto @acryptonite @biomarkdarrah Can you guys please put a framerate cap on the loading screen? it's causing peoples, such as myself, computer to crash when trying to load the game. Seems like some PSU's can't handle it.
Mark Darrah @biomarkdarrah We have done this for the maingame at 240fps
On topic, mini dungeons have a teleporter at the end to bring you back to the entrance, taking a page out of D3s playbook. It's at least something, the fact that a loading screen exists at all is still annoying.

Did the Mathias mission alone (set to private). Had to keep moving to avoid being overwhelmed by enemies in some places, enemies are definitely not just idle in place waiting to get shot, plus a trio of wyverns were raing down fire over my head.
The "puzzle" took me a couple of minutes to figure it out.
It's both astounding and frustrating - the sheer number of noobs that join the Stronghold, grab an orb and then don't go to the collection point to offload it. They fly, fly, fly around and then quit, taking the item with them and ruin the run... Bioware should look into that. Retrieving and putting quest items in a certain area is far too advanced for the majority of people.
I had 3 people keep standing in the open and get slaughtered over and over and over. I revive, they jump in and die again. I cleared the first half of the encounter, cleared most of the second solo before realizing it will be a horrible further run and tried to quit but the game wouldn't let me, lol. It was like saying to me "you shall carry those lobotomized noobs all the way."
checked to see if my unlocked Javs & progress were still there: yes tried some freeplay with the ranger and when I finished, I got exp & loot & leveled up
but the no sound at all bug appeared in the middle of a second world event which was kinda underwhelming will try (the storm) again later - hopefully with sound
The stronghold is unplayable for all intents and purposes. Every second time it is laggy as hell, and when it's not lagging people are being too stupid, and when people are not being too stupid then you can't finish it because someone dropped/left with a quest item, and when people don't drop/leave with a quest item the game server shuts down before you can kill the boss. And the loot collected up to that point is lost, because Bioware is too dumb to log pickups.
Counting last weekend, 15 tries, 2 completions. Effing brilliant.
And just when I finally get a semi-competent group for the Stronghold, the game throws me out halfway through with "server shut down" cuz why the F not... So many issues. Well, so far didn't get the 95 % loading screen, but I better not jinx it. Then I try Freeplay and "not able to retrieve service"... Oh, and I got bugged door that didn't open to let us through to the next stage TWICE. Launch day will be so hilarious if these things keep up.
Terrible experience so far. Took forever to find a game, last week it was loading before my storm finished his animation, now I'm sat waiting to join a game. Joined 3 so far. Each time the first time the randoms die, they leave, no one else joins. So I'm trying to solo a hard strong hold, which is all I can play really. Basically unplayable and not fun.
One Stronghold done. One mission done. Two objecctives in free play completed.
Going well for me so far (on Xbox).
I'd like to (rather pointlessly) max my 4 javelins to 19 kit and L2P, over the weekend.

Played some free play all went well except then when i got back and it was tallying my exp and loot my javelin was not there.
Played the strong hold with a group all went well.
Some of the options still mystify me. Choose the mission on the mission map, hit quick play, nothing happens, is something supposed to happen? nothing every happens, then i back out one menu and launch the mission and i think it puts me in quick play as i joined a existing group. Many of the menus are no intuitive at all. Do not tell me to push such and such a button if it does not do anything, if does something let me know it has done something.
Few thoughts after about 90 minutes into the game. Technical difficulties: - Disconnection problems on loading and once during gameplay - Disappearing enemies - Motion blur makes the game unplayable - Sometimes low framerate, but I guess I don't play on a high end system so w/e
Needed time to get used to the controls, very hard to control the flight on default settings so I had to decrease sensitivity alot, but I got to my sweet spot. Once I got used to it, straight away I was in awe of how vast this game is vertically. Sadly, there are too many empty places After an hour or so, I manage to hold my own on hard solo and the high mobility shooter experience comes to play. This game can be a heaven for Pharah mains like myself, if the guns feel good, if the story is good, the potential is here. Just fix the technical issues. Oh, and make the Ursix less of bullet sponges, died to them (2 at the same time) due to patience running out. For the missions, I wish I had a way to experience them solo on my own pace. I got to a mission, and basically did nothing because I didn't know what to do.
