Well, my level 40 Firecat is fun, at least. I like the new flamethrower.

Problem being even if everything was working this would still be Mammoth: the game. And as much as I like Mammoth it kind of sucks that it's the only viable choice at the moment.

yeah so far I've only really enjoyed playing my mammoth and firecat. They both strike that sweet spot between aoe and single target to sleepwalk through most content. And obviously mammoth is better for infinite range and better sustained damage (firecat overheats pretty fast unless you use the skill to not overheat) Given, my impressions so far are with mostly the autogrant gear and no modifications, so it could be pretty different once I start slapping some real stuff on there.

Oh if you want to see overpowered, write a very small macro that keeps you from overheating. Then, use a plasma cannon instead of the inferno cannon. Unless they finally got around to nerfing it somehow. Did they, Nalin?

Do I have to soldier on through the campaign missions despite the fact that I have several 40's already? I'd like to unlock bounties and actually using the molecular printers.

But don't do it on the prototype stuff you get from Miru. That's broken.

Yes, you have to do those. You will get stuck at some point because they hosed up of course but that's after unlocking bounties so at least there's that. Crafting isn't in yet because of course it's not.

-Troika- posted:Can someone post an updated mod guide for the current version? I have no idea how to get that poo poo working and what is even compatible. Go to the Modules section. Basically, red/yellow/blue modules only come in two flavors now. They range in ranks 1-9 and can be used on both weapons and abilities (ie, there are no longer weapon-only modules). You can upgrade/combine modules inside the Tinker. Upgrading requires any 3 modules of the same level to create 1 module of the next level. Combining creates hybrid modules by combining two modules of different colors. Tinkering poo poo takes lots of credits, though, so good luck! Morglon posted:Yes, you have to do those.

Aside from the obvious bugs, I'm okay with this update. It's taking a little getting used to but I'm enjoying crashing around in my Firecat and burning everything up. At first I was bitter because I thought I was stuck using the short-range flamethrower on the Firecat, but I forgot that you can use base frame weapons and abilities on advanced frames. So if I want to use a Firecat with a plasma cannon, I can do that. I'm trying to play through the early missions with the perspective of someone new to Firefall, and I think that if you're not an old grizzled veteran this game is pretty impressive for a F2P title. The new missions are great so far. I had level 40 frames and one level 36, as well as almost all frames unlocked before the migration, so I ended up with nearly all the advanced frames but they're all at level 20. Since I didn't use the advanced frames much there's not a lot of adjusting for me to do. As an old player, this feels pretty good to me and I'm hoping the game does a little better after the dust from this update settles. (But who am I kidding.)

My problem with the missions is that they will keep reminding you to do them every x minutes when you just want to gently caress around and do something else and there's no way to just abandon story missions. Also it kind of puts focus on how bad the animations are with all the close ups and conversations that are just two NPC staring blankly at each other because the lip movements stopped long ago. On top of that those are not character models that fit the tone of the game and story at all, it's fine for say Champions Online because that game is goofy as gently caress, when humanity has been hosed twice over and is on the brink of extinction it's not as appropriate. Another thing that started recently is textures not loading in and it takes you out even more, this has never been a problem before but I used to have it on my SSD. Thing is it didn't start when I move it to somewhere else but about two days after and it's now at the point where it won't even load in the textures on my frame so my Mammoth is a blurry body suit with blurry armor plates floating vaguely around the extremities. And forget about terrain, rocks and plants are perma blurry no matter what I set the texture quality to. I'll probably reinstall later and see if it's still a problem then.

Morglon posted:conversations that are just two NPC staring blankly at each other because the lip movements stopped long ago. HAH! There is one story mission where Fuller is being talked to by Kara after doctor Batshiba gets nabbed. During the cut scene she's jabbing her finger at him while making some threat or something. Once they're both done talking, she keeps jabbing him with that finger over and over again. I really wanted to make a .gif of it that just looped endlessly but then  I'm very tempted to reinstall and check it out now that it's gone live but I'm a little paranoid that my character will be hosed if I log in before all the back end poo poo gets sorted out. I really don't have the desire to go through every single loving frame on all 3 of my accounts just to look around and see what's left.

There are also a lot of weird pacing things where the cutscene goes on long after it should have ended.Like the one where you load a bunch of scientists on a dropship after the first one gets dunked. The door takes forever to close and then you fly off into the distance and the camera just sits there for a minute.

If your poo poo is hosed up, it got hosed up in the actual database migration. Might as well just play and make a log of everything weird that happens so you can create support tickets if Red5 doesn't fix it.

Nalin posted:That sounds like a bug that is happening near FOB Sagan in Sertao. There are Chosen ships that spawn to the south of it that aren't despawning correctly, so if that area is inside of your view distance, it causes the game to drop everything down to the lowest LOD possible (which also causes NPCs and monsters go invisible). The workaround is to drop your view distance down to 200-300 or so when you are in that area. That could add to it and could be where i encountered it the first time but it's happening for textures all over the place. Most of them load fine most of the time, others just take a few seconds but some never load right, standing in Copa right now, the entrance to the spawn thing is surrounded by a blurry texture, all the thatch roofs are blurry and the middle giant tiki head is blurry. Which is doubly baffling since the smaller ones around it are not. I'll fiddle with it some more and revalidate, see if that helps.

You believe you should be able to allocate extra bandwidth to textures. Okay that's just loving weird. But I doubt it's that, my network setting didn't change and my connection is still good. Validation threw a bunch of errors and that seems to have fixed it. I'll keep an eye on it though.

http://www.firefall.com/news/update-1-6-status-update Update on the 1.6 stuff. The migration script worked perfectly except in a handful of cases. Items seems to be a sore point. Apparently the missing modules and XP packs and stuff are actually in your inventory, but not showing for some reason. If you suspect something is otherwise missing, open a support ticket. quote:Additionally, there are certain epic cores that are not returning equipment. In discussing this with the team, we found this is actually expected behavior. That being said, we don't feel it's fair to players that have worked diligently for those cores and we are working on a plan to deliver epic crates to those players (the same ones the Arsenal package granted) so they can have epic gear returned to them. We understand one of the most difficult things for players right now is trying to jump into high end content with little equipment. We're also going to be granting rare loadouts for each level 40 frame you had prior to the downtime/migration. The research refund scripts haven't been run yet, which is why players are missing lots of potential crystite. They will remove the screen shaking effect when firing weapons.

It's pretty exciting seeing what new bugs there are every time you log in. Last time half my HUD disappeared, that was quite good. Occassionally my frame will have a plain white paint job, which actually looks slick. And I liked how they just cut inventory size in half so I had to salvage a bunch of poo poo in order to move, but salvaging still doesn't quite work properly sometimes.

And the white thing was not because of the other glitches. Also I recommend running Scrapii for your on the go salvaging needs and speaking of, I'm hoping that having already salvaged my raid weapon won't gently caress me out of the correct amount of titan things I'm supposed to get.

Actually playing, Firecat is fun as gently caress. Lvl 36 mammoth, 40 Nighthawk and 36 firecat which were my main 3 frames outside arsenal anyway. The freebie 40 frame was a loving bastion though

I want to find whatever dev decided we need to do the 'new player' intro missions to unlock Bounties. I want to strangle them. Just a little bit. That said, the game is slowly shaping into something more playable. Persistent super loving annoying issue number one remains: No squadmates on the map, and invisible beyond 2-300 meters. I wish I understood how these module credits worked, though. I had four level 40 frames and every other advanced frame, all in various state of upgrade and beef, almost all modded up with good weapons. This patch hits - my modules are junk... and I end up with 2.6 thousand module credits. My friend, with one level 40 frame and a handful of modules (most that I crafted for them) ends up with 8k module credits. Huh? DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Jan 29, 2016 |
