The Just Cause 3 wingsuit is way more fun than firefall gliders, and that was the biggest thing that kept me coming back anyway.

Hey guys. Guess what landed on the Firefall PTS? loving Jetball. Hell yeah, PvP is back on PTS! Also, Red 5 has some goals for the new combat experience. They are as follows: "Red 5 Studios posted:==GOAL:== The first battleframes to change due to these new goals are the Assault frames. I was going to make a post about the changes, but they are too amazing to easily include here and it was turning into just a massive copy/paste. So seriously, read them here: http://forums.firefall.com/community/threads/combat-iteration-and-battleframe-changes-%E2%80%93-new-pts-build.7022421/ Basically, Assault sounds kinda fun. Like, 12 second base cooldown Afterburner fun. And a new Crater with control and the ability to be used as a movement ability. Holy poo poo all these Assault archtype changes sound amazing.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I've put too much time into FF and had too much fun with it in the past to watch it rot.

I really don't think that make an entirely different game with completely different mechanics is the way to go. That was why PVP failed the first time, they were trying to make 2 parallel games.

That was why PVP failed the first time, they were trying to make 2 parallel games. Yeah, but they tried having PvE and PvP share the same weapons and abilities and, quite frankly, it was a mess. I don't know if you played a bunch on Broken Peninsula, but some ability/perk/module combinations could get insane. And every time they tried to balance poo poo, PvE players would have an absolute fit. MAH FUN YOUR RUINING MAH FUN R5! I think having separate PvP equipment and progression is the best way to go. You can get all the crazy 10 second cooldown abilities in PvE that you want and still make PvP fair and competitive. There is currently one drawback to PvP: you have to have the frame unlocked in PvE in order to use it. That means that once you unlock an advanced frame, you lose the ability to use the Accord version in PvP. Eventually you'll have the ability to swap all your PvP equipment (currently you can only swap your secondary and auxiliary), but it is not yet implemented.

This may be when I come back... But next year they will say pvp sucks because people move too much and use too many abilities. And we won't have pvp any more

Apparently the 1.6 patch is coming out in January. I somewhat feel they are going to cut things close. I mean, they are still doing big battleframe changes (they re-did Assault, Firecat, and Tigerclaw) and they still have all the other battleframes to go and they have about a month to do it. Plus there are still lots of bugs to fix all over the place. It's probably going to be a rough update.

Yeah all that has me even more concerned. True, movement is a big thing. Out of combat. In combat it comes down more to area denial, choke points and battlefield awareness. Movement abilities are fun but I wouldn't be caught dead with them on any frame I actively use. This is not Tribes, the game is somewhat more methodical, setting up your nest or yourself in the right spot is very often important and they don't seem to get that. Not like I was hoping for this to get anywhere near what I wanted ever again but this along with them killing Arsenal pretty much kills it.

I hopped in today and it was completely empty, didn't see a single person which made the events I tried a complete bitch. Pubbies may not be good for much but they catch bullets for you just fine.

That means we'd have to all start playing again and then saying we won't spend any more cash on it followed by still playing.

Honestly doesn't really matter since that go anywhere do whatever the gently caress you want still progress and the deep as gently caress crafting system aren't coming back ever. Had they just stuck with something the game would be doing fine, not super great but it had a niche, things it did that nobody else did but they kind of hosed that up with all the revamps.

Honestly I've been playing this game for more than two years, and there have only been a few unfun patches. Now that the cooldown nazi is defeated, I'm extremely optimistic that this patch will be more fun than any since BWA was introduced. The crafting has always been awful. If you ever liked it, you have bad opinions.

Actually being able to decide what kind of item you want and tanking certain stats on purpose so you can go all out on others that actually benefit your play style is completely above what other games usually do, even if it ends up just favoring one thing over another, choice is always a good thing that should be encouraged and be built upon instead of being cut for the sake of trying to appeal to the masses. If you still like the game good for you but I can go anywhere for a guided tour of forest world #69 but what I can't have is what the game originally gave me and I kind of resent it over that.

It was hard to deny the power of a properly min-maxed JumpJet IV with a tanked Air Sprint stat- I think one of the other goons reffered to me as a Bastion Apache Helicopter, circlestrafing Tornados in midair for a good 20 seconds at a time. Unfortunately with that much choice, the Market Place had a hell of a time trying to keep up with user-friendliness and functionality.

Rocket boots and big guns, pretty much all I need in this game. A lot of the patches haven't been bad just reflective of a lack of direction, like having an indecisive girlfriend who is only good at telling you what she doesn't want for dinner but never offers an affirmative option. My pc I originally played on has gone the way of the dodo, and a good patch/progress might get me to get a new one. The other alternative is that at the development cycle they are on, mobile tablets and devices might be powerful enough to run this by the time they get to launch 2.0

It's way too late for dignified. The game has been torn apart, glued back together with a new coat of paint four or five times, there is nothing dignified about that. Can't say I didn't see it coming but it sucks for the people who put the actual work in and aren't at fault for all the complete redesigns.

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefall/comments/3yhguu/red_5_employee_without_a_paycheck_here_ama/ lol But I still feel bad for the goon employees of Red5. I still really like Firefall so it is sad it never succeeded. EDIT: That AMA is pretty cool as people are telling how the Firefall story used to be before the recent rewrites. Like, who the Ascendant were and everything. Nalin fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Dec 29, 2015 |
