I would have liked if the quests were a little less generic and the way audio didn't really sync up with what was on screen, it was hard to follow the dialogue even when I was interested. That being said, there were a couple kinda cool missions? I was doing it on my level 40 dude so all the content was super trivial though. And now that I have Bounties unlocked I probably won't bother too much doing them unless I'm bored/don't know what to do next. Do goon parties happen at all? I'm in one of the defunct old branches [FAT] when the sprawling army system was in place so I should probably join whatever the main clan is now.

I haven't played this game since shortly after its initial release. Coming back to it all I can say is that it's fuuuuuuucked up. I used to like it well enough, but this is an absolute mess, and hearing that it's the Nth redesign just makes it worse. There's no way this game makes it past June.

I think most of us have just as many hours predicting its death as we do playing. We really ought to start a pool.

I'll be shocked if it even lasts a few more months. How do they turn this thing around after people have started quitting and them having to fix a bunch of poo poo?

The week of Reward Crates and the No Fall Damage Perk has been screaming nothing but "Bandaid" to me. If I wanted this many bandaids I'd eat a first-aid kit. What makes me salty about this game is how much I've legitimately enjoyed and cared about it- I guess its akin to having your comatose child stuck on life support and feeling the longterm pressure of medical bills? I'm a terrible person. I loved you Firefall, why do you have to die in such an undignified manner... JonusRockweller fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Jan 30, 2016 |

Nalin posted:You got more credits for purple modules. Or maybe your friend just had a bunch of green modules. Plus, they are having a problem right now where all of your modules they unequipped during the migration aren't showing up in your inventory, so you might have a bunch of modules to salvage sometime in the next few days. It could be? I crafted an assload of level 15 (I think - the lowest purple available) just to fill out every available slot. For my two main frames, I blew credits and pilot tokens galore for the 40 purples. If they valued purples as purples without regard for level, chances are my friend might have had more overall? Either way it is annoying to have only enough for two and a half 'decent' tier seven modules now.

So somehow I got 38x 40 million XP pack. I could dump all of that 1.5 billion XP worth into a single frame and gain 441 elite levels.

The weirdest thing about firefall is how laggy and rough it still is in spots. Just using menus can be a pain in the rear end sometimes. That just shouldn't be the case with a game that's been live for so long.

It's to be expected when they're constantly completely overhauling core features. You don't get to spend time on quality of life. You can't tweak the UI when it's changing to accommodate the new stuff.

How very Zen of them. Edit: Welp, now every time I try to do a mission I get kicked back out to the title screen, well done. Also there are already people who demand group members having 100+ elite levels to even invite them to group. And of course I didn't get the remaining Titan tokens from salvaging my weapon.

I've made a bunch of updates to Goon Transit today. It is now at version 2.5. If some of the newer or returning people don't realize, Meldii has the ability to check for updates for the addon. There has been a bunch of releases that I haven't posted about. Download: http://tinyurl.com/goontransit Today's fixes: code:

I look forward to former devs who liked where the game was originally going getting together to work on a new project. poo poo, that already happened. I just hope the next one doesn't devolve into lawsuits, layoffs, Twitter wars, drug abuse and parking lot sex too.

I doubt it's gonna last for much longer though what with a good chunk of the company leaving or getting fired and the game bombing in China. Or I could be wrong since it seems to be a way for the CEO guy to move money out of China.

I have to give Red5 credit, though. After all this time, they have finally managed to make a raid too difficult for random pubbies to finish. It has turned them all against each other as they try desperately to identify some sort of criteria that will filter all the bads from their group. 850 PR 200 Elite Rank only please. MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE

-Troika- posted:I don't really get the cupcake thing. Can someone explain it? When you so jobs in Dredge, a lot of them are for this sleazy old guy who owns everything. He likes to call everyone cupcake and manages to work it into Every sentence. It became a sort of running gag during beta and them became a title you could unlock. Shortly after that the bad word filter was updated to it. If you are signed in and have the filter off, you don't see it.

Wow you're right. The option has been removed. If that was an attempt to make users feel like cursing was futile in response to all the changes, I'm sure it worked as well as their other ideas.

It's saddening to see what the game has devolved into. I didn't play Beta but started playing from Day 1 of the official launch. It was fun for awhile but then the game just got repetitive and once you maxed out a frame there wasn't a whole lot to do afterwards. I eventually got all the frames to level 40 and stopped playing due to lost interest. It seemed like all the talk was about how awesome the game was in Beta and it's not the same anymore, etc. The announcement back in October I think it was about overhauls and lots of changes was promising and piqued my interest a bit, but that's all down the drain now I guess. Alas because there was so much potential.

Woah, check out this thread on the forum: http://forums.firefall.com/community/threads/cloudchasers-closure.7387521/ Somebody leaked a conversation with Cloudchaser after he left Red5. He lets slip some interesting information:

Dude, what the hell is with these devs/community people and their propensity to lock a thread after posting one last sick passive-aggressive burn on the community? quote:[*]Alt-fire was removed from all weapons because the lead PvP designer (who no longer works at Red5) wanted to standardize what happens when a player right-clicks. And Cloudchaser hated the change. And all the players hate the change. Even the PvP'ers.[/list] And of course PvP ruins another game.

Ville Valo posted:I'm a little surprised the thread was locked and not deleted, but I don't know anything about managing a community. Yeah, making public the IRC logs wasn't the nicest thing. But Cloudchaser probably shouldn't have talked in IRC about some personal stuff like the Cowboy information. Telling people the cool stuff you wanted to do is fine in my opinion, but he should have waited a while before doomsaying about Red5. And he really didn't need to make fun of the capabilities of his fellow team members (the guy who did the Dread abilities). "The only involvement I had with the Dread abilities was helping fix bugs" would have been a much better way to put it. Everything I hear about the game industry is that it is fairly personal, so he shouldn't be saying this stuff in a public area like IRC. But whatever. I am a goon and I like to laugh at drama. Even over this stupid, dead game that I love.
