From my limited time playing so far, you can cool your jets by diving. So in theory you can fly for a long time by rising and diving to refill the bar.

I would like to thank all of the beta testers yesterday and today. Your experience has convinced me to wait until after release. Needs bug fixes, network code, and probably feature tweaking before I give it a go. I'm really curious how this reviews now.
And get close to water wich is alot in the game. You can extend your fly time by alot. And from what i see from upgrades you can extend it even more with that also.
For current updates.

Exit the game and start it again. It will load into mission area.
Man the UI and menus are terrible. I have a little more respect for Destinys UI now.
Aside from that.. gameplay is good once you unlock other javelins/loadouts.
Flying is horrible on PC.
Optimization isnt good. I should be getting more than 60/70 fps on a 2080.
Load screens... yikes.
I give it a 6.5 so far. Curious to see more endgame videos next week.

Wait, I thought you couldn't unlock the storm until level 15? I figured it glitched for me last night and the game just gave it to me. I had just hit level 12 I think, when I went to the Forge it let me unlock a Javelin.
But Battlefield and Battlefront reviews raved about the graphics - that means Frostbite is great for every kind of game, right?
Hugely impactful, company-wide tech decisions being made by high ranking people who have no clue what they're talking about.
Are you serious? Then what was Edmonton working on for all those years?
I got terrible rubber-banding last night. One X, America. I mean at that point just kick me out.
Loaded it up because it sounded like it was working for most people and got stuck at the mission loading screen again. This is so frustrating
So I pushed through the technical issues and played quite a bit yesterday.
General Impressions:
Moment to moment gameplay is fun. The combat can be quite challenging when you're not overgeared. When you start getting a build together, click with the movement system, and utilize the combo systems, it really shines. Can't say much about the story as the missions available are more of a side story than anything with major implications and that's fine. The conversations with NPCs in Fort Tarsis are entertaining. No idea if they actually matter in the long run or not.
It definitely needs some improvements though.
-Flight controls; Swimming controls. These have supposedly been addressed but not in this build. We'll see I suppose.
-UI Readability is poor. This has also supposedly been addressed.
-Objective Markers. This could technically fit with UI readability I suppose but it's not HUD. It can be extremely difficult at times to see where your objective is or how to progress the current objective. The Echo collection objective in particular is very obtuse and confusing if you haven't seen it done before your first attempt.
-Swimming. I mentioned the controls already but I'm mentioning it again because swimming is the worst experience in the game. You can't see anything. Control is terrible. And there are progression points that your group can be stuck behind if a single person can't figure out the path (which is common).
If they can get those issues squared away and obviously get the technical problems addressed, then I think this game will do quite well. There looks to be plenty opportunity for build diversity, customization, and the combat is both fun AND can be frustratingly challenging (room to appeal to different player types). I could definitely see myself playing this alongside The Division 2 and Destiny.

Demo is fun when it works. Unfortunately it doesn't work very often.
Also really annoying is how "console-like" the menus and controls are on PC.
Volume sliders are not actual sliders and I have to hold down the arrows, holding down keys for confirming, the default flying/swimming mouse response being like 25% (which gets much better with it turned all the way up)
very annoying little stuff all around

Don't know what to do :/ it says I have access to demo when I log into the site, but when I boot up on ps4 says I don't have access to the demo.
First thing it made me do was update my password, but that didn't even reflect on my account at all...
Is their a way to unlink and re link accounts for demo?

I don't know if anyone else has tried this but I found raising the bullet dB to max in the sound options helped give a little more oomph to combat, like a extra little punch to everything I was shooting.
It may just have been in my head though. It was late at night, wife and kids were sleeping and I had headphones on.

Enjoying the gameplay, although solo it feels like Borderlands in that the bosses are sponges and you have to kite them. Was much better with a group. REALLY irritated that the game always freezes when I log out so next time I'm in, I have to re-adjust all my settings again. The default mouse sensitivity for everything is ridiculously slow.
Free play on the X runs a little smoother but it still doesn't feel as good as the alpha. I was really impressed with the alpha but this gives me pause about my preorder. Keeping an open mind but Im looking forward to the Division 2. Might wait and see how this launches and then decide.
Runs incredible, 60fps on high - 3440x1440 resolution (ultrawide).
Keyboard mouse controls are crap. but with a controller its actually amazing.

Get the 95% loading issue on pc, every time I try. Haven't actually gotten into a mission once
Wonder what the agreements were for all the content creators who went to that event. I have watched a lot of those videos and only Brad of giant bomb briefly mentions the stability wasn't so hot. I am hoping next weekend will be smoothed but man, there is a decent chance between two demo weekends my friends and I will not even be able to play together for one minute. That is bad. We played a ton of Division and Wildlands betas which eventually sold us on the game. This is the opposite. We were all hyped to probably buy this game but demos is giving us a rethink. Why would you ever out a "demo" out in this state. Horrible first impression.
Lord the amount of missed shots in this is killing me LMAO I hate controllers.
Where can I find info on crafting? Is it possible in the demo? Or are the only drops from enemies and after mission rewards
Despite the performance issues, I seriously love this game and it's absolutely one of the most beautiful games I've ever played on my PC, glitches and all. Playing this on a 4K TV @ 60 FPS (when it holds) is just sublime.
You can craft weapons for example if you make enough kills with them (must be done per weapon).
The first level will unlock the green blueprint, the second level the blue blueprint.
Thats the maximum you can do in the demo.
To craft blue for example you will need blue embers and weapon parts - both you can find around the map during normal missions or freeplay.
Other gear can also be crafted and for some you need to salvage other parts of the same kind.
All have certain conditions that you can check during the missions with J.
I had this saw on Twitter that they said to full restart my X and today no issues regarding rubber-banding. I've really enjoyed it
He's talking out of his ass.
Unlocked the Colossus, switched the launcher to an electric weapon that I'm not sure I want to keep using.
Yeah, same. You are kinda forced to kill adds so they drop ammo while avoiding a dozen of elite monsters 'cause you have no ammo.
At least the abilities do not consume ammo and are just cooldowns.
Sooo, did they forget to hire a composer for the game? Game feels lifeless without music. Tarsis is so bland. The performance on PC is so weird. Its only like a 20FPS difference between Ultra and Low for me on a GTX970. I really wanted to like the game, but it's making a terrible first impression IMO. Signed up for a month of EA Access on Xbox as well. Maybe it plays better with a controller.
