Magma Core ground cracking open.

[Grimjack Hex]

I like this new edition.
I also believe it occurs too often. Perhaps tweak the frequency down?

And no I'm not bein' a weedy 'uman complain'. If yer want a taste o' fist I'll be 'appy to oblige ya.

Just gave this a shot. It does seem to happen more often but not so much as to be annoying. No more annoying than glacial blasts or sandstorms. On my system though, it crashes frame rates to like 3-5fps for about ten secounds while it's opening.

It is a bit more annoying on Point Extractions (and presumably Salvage Missions) , as you have to hang around in one place. One Point Extraction I joined had literally no regular ground on the plateau where the Mine Head was parked - it was all chasms full of burning ground.

One of my teammates in the same game also had issues with framerate during the earthquakes, so it sounds like it's not an isolated problem.

Brutal, How many frames do you get normally?

I too suffer from frame drops during an earthquake with lava chasms, it also sometimes takes 5 seconds after occuring to load the ravine visuals (when there are too many or are too big).

Neither happen during ice chasms/ravines on the Glacial biome.

Yea the cracks aren't really optimized yet, def drops frames. I average no less than 55 on the regular even during intense parts but those cracks can drop me to like 25 fps as they crack.

This is true but at the same time; those should be the shortest missions, 10-15 minutes for a good P&E otherwise people just taking too long

It depends on how many people are playing it though. It takes longer when you're alone and have to fight against bosses and waves after waves in very large caves.

Anyway, magma core is getting harder, which is fine, but I feel like the reward should be higher as well. High risk - high reward.

Pretty much 60fps locked exploring and mining (vsync) and 25fps while fighting - my system is Xeon 2x 3Ghz so some of the SFX give it a hammering. GTX960 is waiting on the cpu mostly.

I like it in its extreme form. Had a game of point extraction and the entire area surrounding it was decimated. Challenging but hillarious too
