All things considered, it wouldn't surprise me that Miami was worse

Some of the writing is really bad and voice overs are even worse, but one of my favorite bits was a sequence of Omnidyne testing missions where the Omnidyne rep was basically a Nexus modder. POSITIVE FEEDBACK ONLY PLEASE, if it's not working it's your fault.

I'm just glad I don't have to hear those loving bandit leaders anymore and even though the same "voice actor" does the voices for the Blood Kings not having to hear that stupid line about red beans repeated for all eternity really makes my gaming experience better. Same goes for El Terremoto and I was super happy I got to kill him in the end.

Don't suppose there's a mod which cleans up gamepad compatibility by making the UI a little cleaner, is there? Game's pretty chill when I'm just slumped in my chair shooting dudes.

I'm not sure it's what you mean by "cleaner" but you can go into the interface options and resize, move, or disable just about everything. You can then rebind anything you like on the controller for easy 1-8s. I haven't seen any addons for it though.

I'm really surprised that the amount of resources you get from tornadoes hasn't been brought down a bit to match the nerf to thumper mining. Seems like there is no reason to use a thumper when you can get 3k+ iron for one tornado

I just picked up Recluse for 3.6k, I am one with the fart clouds, they complete me. So far it's fun as hell, creeping death and evacuate are real cool, but I don't really see much use in kinetic shot. What should I fill my 3 with? Healing wave?

I use poison ball in my third, once you get the perk that heals you when you deal poison damage you want to start stacking as many poison abilities as possible

Get a really nice Poison Trail and be amazed at the carnage. It's so damned useful in so many places. Especially places where you don't want to use the primary.

Is the Recluse still considered the best frame for both survivability and offense? Didn't someone say that they were nerfed in the last patch?

Last patch with the gigantic loving thump nerf completely killed any interest I had in the game. Spending 10 minutes to hunt for a node that gets tapped out in 1 go just aint fun. If they are willing to drop such fun killing nerfs post-launch I don't see this game being very stable.

Okay, I made a simple little program that tests to see if your account can connect to the Firefall XMPP server using the old authentication method. If your alt account works and you would be willing to donate its usage, we could get AllianceBot back and running in GOON2. You can find it here: http://nalin.suckerfree.org/private/bin/ffchattest.zip The source code is included if anybody is paranoid (it is a Qt Creator 5 project).

Munnin The Crab posted:I don't really see much use in kinetic shot. Kinetic Shot was a monster back in PVP matches because of its ability to snipe people from across the map while not actually being a sniper. The amount of spike damage you could send out without the other player getting so much as a warning was a bit nuts.

If they are willing to drop such fun killing nerfs post-launch I don't see this game being very stable. It shouldn't take you ten minutes to find a node. When you use your hammer, jump in the air and look down at the scan region in front of you. If you look closely, you'll see a series of arcs moving in your scan region. Those waves are moving towards a node. Finding a 50% node may take some time though.

Everything is thumped dry though which sucks but not because of the metal, you just need something there to call down a thumper and farm animal poo poo and items to salvage, the stuff you really want.

A few random questions: 1.) Am I wasting crystite by researching? I've seen complaints about the system but no real explanation as to why it's a waste of time. I've only done a few things with it - thumpers, mostly - but still. 2.) When quest medals go bronze on the job board, that means it's safe to move onto the next hub right? 3.) Finally...I've earned a couple purple cosmetic things from those slot machines, but I've got no clue how to apply them. Using the NewYou station just prompts the game to start asking me about buying RedBeans.

You can then rebind anything you like on the controller for easy 1-8s. I haven't seen any addons for it though. Ah well, I'll just faff around with key configs then and see what I can come up with. Game is forgiving enough to use the controller in combat which I like.

poptart_fairy posted:A few random questions: 1. You can pretty easily get gear for/around your level by using the voucher vendors near each job board. In addition, enemies drop modules for their level, so it's not hard to get items without crafting. 2.That means you've done them. The gold ones should lead you to the next job board, but ultimately you can move on to a new board as long as it's appropriate for your level. 3.They're in the calldowns menu, under 'unlock'. You need to use them to get the cosmetic item.

I got a founders pack a long long time ago but the beta sucked so I basically forgot about the game until now. What should I do with my crystals and other crafting materials? Spend them on research/crafting?

SamEyeAm posted:After debating which advanced frame to unlock first I went with the Firecat, and I must say I'm a bit disappointed when compared to the base assault. I feel like I take a lot more damage with this play style but don't really dish out any more. The splash increase with the thermal cannon is negligible, at least starting out. Immolate is handy for trash mobs but the higher hp enemies hurt more when I'm in immolate range. Also, the secondary fire on the thermal cannon doesn't seem to activate the passive Firecat ability as advertised (catching enemies on fire for DoT damage). I am only level 10 with the Firecat so far, and I will stick with it. These are just my initial thoughts. I changed my mind. Level 15 now and after reading some playstyle suggestions after making this post (mainly about laying down primary-alt fire from above so that the 3-round burst explodes to do aoe damage) I'm thoroughly enjoying raining down death from above!!

This is sort of my thought too. I am playing it in small doses and enjoying it, but am not going to grind it until some things are fixed up. Thankfully the patch last week showed that they are open to mixing things up, hopefully they continue that course and listen to feedback.

You still need to do a few of the job board missions just to get vouchers for some rare stuff like rocket turrets etc.
