Combined with the Recluse perk, it means I could use my generally unused AR for emergency heals if it comes down to it. So far though, survivability hasn't really been an issue. I went with Rhino and it's great

I kinda miss the raw AOE of my Recluse, but exploding bullets is a lot of fun and Sundering wave has potential too. Really looking forward to turret mode, but with the system how it is I need a blue quality one to replace the charge I'm not all that impressed with, lest I suffer a drop in power

Broken Teams v1.3 released (announcement post), for those of you who play in Broken Peninsula. The next Firefall patch on the 18th will add a new scoreboard to Broken Peninsula which uses the same keybind as Broken Teams. This new version will let you set a custom keybind if you wish to use both.code:I think I also forgot to mention that Goon Transit has gone through a couple updates. Pretty much only bug fixes, though. I just forgot to mention them. code:In other news, tomorrow's Firefall Live will have Phobos guest hosting the show. They are going to be talking to the System's Designer in charge of reviewing the rewards that events give. They will probably talk about how Operation: Miru will give players rewards and how they want to create items in the future. They give away the $100 Digital Deluxe starter packs during these, so if you feel lucky log into twitch and participate. Two weeks ago I actually won two of the Halloween cosmetics during Firefall Live.

Seeing as how they handled rewards in the past as in nerfing the poo poo out of things that were done over and over because they were rewarding you with things that were worth your time instead of gently caress all doesn't exactly make me optimistic. In fact just thinking about it has made me not log in today and likely the near future.

 Patch 1.2 released - Operation: Miru Big patch today! There are a bunch of things happening, so I'll break them down. Highlights of the 1.2 patch:
Super LGV Challenge - Earn boosts for your LGV! This is the next big event. Every day, you will get 3 free LGV race vouchers in the mail (more tokens can be bought for 100 credits). Unlike other events, there is no "missing a day" as you will be mailed your 3 daily tokens even if you don't sign in. There are three race tracks in each of the three PvE zones for a total of 9 races. You get a special LGV for the race that has a "boost" capability (8 second cooldown). The races take place in the open world, so the Bandit Ambush encounter has been disabled, as the mine can insta-kill your LGV (as well as make the race track unusable). Start: Tuesday, November 18th at 4:00pm PST End: Monday, December 8th at 4:00pm PST Losing: 3 vouchers Winning: 9 vouchers Winning + Gold time: 13 vouchers You can spend vouchers on upgrade kits for your own LGVs which will give them the boost capability. Also on things like warpaints and 1-use Cheetah LGVs, but nobody cares about that poo poo. BOOSTS! Hair, facial hair, and head shape cosmetics now free! Players who purchased any of these items in the last 3 months will be refunded their red beans.

For those that are curious the boosts for bean bikes cost 200 tokens. My first race glitched out and sent me on like 4 laps instead of the required two and then timed me out and ate my token. :red5:

I was also getting a lot of weird keypress glitching. It'd bring up the map or other gui screens seemingly at random without me pressing any keys. Plus the stuttering/freezing bug is still there. Two good ways to ruin a race.

Goon Transit 1.6 - http://tinyurl.com/goontransit - Added the Zone Explorer. Access via the navwheel or with /ze. - Added a raw zone listing. Access with /gtzl. The Zone Explorer still needs some work, but using it you should be able to access any zone in the game.

Nice. I'm eager to do some bike races again. I wonder if there are better rewards for racing in the other zones besides New Eden? I wonder if it's possible to use an LGV in Diamond Head without driving around a constant spam of barricades from abandoned missions?

All of the races give the same rewards. The Northern Shores race seems to be the quickest and easiest if you're just wanting to grind out some races.

Ralith posted:Huh, maybe I should reinstall and get in on th-- If you get a Gold time with VIP + daily bonus, you get 18 vouchers. I had 6 tokens (they made a mistake and gave some players 3 of them yesterday) and I got gold on all 6. I have 108 vouchers. You should be able to get about 50 vouchers per day using your free tokens. It isn't that bad at all.

It is I who is displaced! Yeah it's tonight. He's starting out fresh and I'm starting a new frame so it'll be new frames and new players, perfect time to join up. The outfit isn't too active but it feels wrong not having a GOON tag, and there's always a few around and they're super helpful.

- Zone Explorer shows min level and group counts for instances. - Added difficulty dropdown to the Zone Explorer. - Added requirements tooltip to the Zone Explorer queue button. - Zone Explorer will close on zone changes. - Fixed a bug where it could queue on the wrong difficulty. Goon Transit 1.9 - http://tinyurl.com/goontransit - Fixed a bug where the queue tooltip in Zone Explorer wouldn't work on zones without difficulty levels. : Basically a bunch of work on the Zone Explorer. Can now queue on specific difficulties and see who the bad is who never got unlocked. Nalin fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Nov 20, 2014 |

I don't know if anyone else paid much attention to the patch notes but you now get a permanent 10% XP boost for every frame you hit the level cap with. It will only give you the notice when you switch to a sub-40 frame.

So we've been doing the new instance a bunch and I have to say it looks fairly fun but it runs like absolute rear end for me. I can run the game on ultra all the time with no problems but for some reason my framerate just takes a huge hit there. It's so bad that it even freezes for a second or two every time I get hit and I have no idea why. Doing a clean reinstall now to see if that helps . Other than that the racing seems decent too but things still keep spawning in your way, I had to dodge a bunch of huge Brontodon corpses blocking the road and on the last one I did I just got taken out by an LGV mine out the road completely wasting one of my tokens.

At least I'm not the only one running into this issue. I've been getting random keypresses in game and on top of being amazingly annoying it totally ruins the races. According to this thread it isn't even limited to Firefall itself, simply having Firefall running will cause it to spam keys in Windows as well.

Fina posted:At least I'm not the only one running into this issue. That's pretty hosed up. In other news I have now done a complete reinstall and so far it's working fine but I also haven't done Miru again yet. I can't get Melder to work at all though, not even the posted fixed version so that means no addons for now which is not the end of the world but super inconvenient for someone who mostly plays Bastion. That's not really something I can blame the game for though just something I'd appreciate some help with when it's convenient.

Well the open world stuff is running fine but it always has been, it's just Miru that's hosed up for some reason. I can't test any of my poo poo though because it won't allow me to solo queue. Doing a ton of fixing on stuff that just doesn't work as well as I want it to lately because I have nothing better to do but apparently there is no such thing as a virtual GPU yet.

Do you use the Steam version of Firefall? If so, go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Firefall\system\bin and run Launcher.exe. If it asks you to patch, click the button. After it completes, Melder will work for you. Alternatively, if you don't mind mucking with your registry, download this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ladbfr1wnhujm04/firefall.reg?dl=0 Open it up in a text editor and fix the file paths. Then double click it to add it to your registry. Melder should work after that. Hopefully.

It takes awhile to get the file list or whatever but just wait it out Your Transit mod is so useful I'd swear it's cheating. Going to make leveling frames that are in different level zones waaayyyy easier
