Been playing the alfa for some weeks now.

This game has a lot of potential. They were stress testing the servers, that were a disaster for about a week or 2, but the devs fixed it promptly and the waiting is acceptable now. At the moment the trader system goes through some sort of stress test. Graphic wise it's a gem (imho) and the weapons with all the different mods and ammo types are overwhelming at the beginning, but I learned, adapted and start managing it better and better. It sure is fun to sneak around the maps and I am really looking forward to the sandbox mode of this shooter. Teaming up is easy, but setting up comms has (for the time being, anyway) to be setup outside the game with TS, ventrillo, or discord.

All in all: Having a great time.

 

No pics or films from me yet, for the NDA is still active.

No worries, happy you are having fun Bando. I saw enough on youtube already, cant justify spending that much money myself so will wait until complete release and get a standard version. Keep testing so when I buy it, product will be polished and with few bugs remaining  :P

Ah! I see. I thought maybe it was because the L and P keys are so close together and cause a spelling error. A bit like the G and T keys, which once caused a work colleague to give her regards to a client as "Warm retards,".

It's actually a word used by "rednecks". It's a way of saying the word well. It's like yep=yes and welp=well. A common use would be "Welp, time to hit the ol' dusty trail".

 

I'm not saying it's exclusively used by rednecks, just that it was popularised that way. Just as the African-American community have their own style of butchering the English language, us rednecks have our way as well.

Interesting, it seems I'm a redneck not knowing that. What else rednecks do ?

Hahaha I think in your country they call rednecks gorale or goralski? Jeff Foxworthy has a good set of guidelines for rednecks in America.

 

That was the origin of welp, though. Now everyone uses it.

I'm sure my ebonics is a bit rusty. It's an ever changing and evolving language. I was very fluent from 2002 to 2009 when I was in the army but much of it is lost to me now :(
