Let the Evil commence!

I got a key, but the client's too big to bother downloading (and transferring home) for the sake of a couple of days when I've got other stuff to play. I can give the key to anyone if they run out.

Took me a couple of hours, so i stuck it on and went to watch a film.
After playing for a few hours I can report that its...well, CoH, with more dark bits. Quite good though, especially enjoying the mastermind class.
Anyone suffering issues with freezing: I had to roll back to the 5.6 catalyst drivers for the thing to get past character creation. Also, expect heavy lag, theres a billion and one people in there. I did manage to lessen the lag by fiddling with the graphics settings, even though it looked for all the world like network lag. Wierd, but there you go.
Anyone else find the lag goes much worse if you look south west?

So, there seems to be quite a number of you chaps playing/getting this. Anyone fancy grouping up in to some form of 5punk supergroup?
Once I work out how to do it, of course.

I quite like the sound of being an evil mastermind. I may look into this.

I think it's quite good. Definitely interested in forming a 5punk evil supergroup. Char name is Khonal (I think, I keep forgetting how I spelt it)

Well, you need to be level 10 to start a group, apparently. Im getting there though :D
