Hmm, this kind of reminds me of something similar to the http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Hivehand from HL1. I have to say I like the idea of honey alt fire making it home in on the target.

You should do something related to Zybourne Clock, the hilariously ill-fated goon game project. Also, is there anything more about open world PvP in Firefall Live other than "wait 'till Tuesday"? I still have to decide if I want to bother to get online to sell my resources. dromer fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jul 12, 2014 |

quote:Another important note that isn’t mentioned above: “Resource boosts” will no longer exist after the patch, and will instead be “Reputation boosts.” This means that any resource boosts in the game right now (including unused consumable ones and the permanent one unlocked via Beta Crystite) will be converted to reputation boosts. All permanent resource boosts are gone. Founder permanent exp boost will remain. The whole "voucher" and "reputation" thing hasn't really been explained at all, so I'm not really sure what any of this will mean.

For some reason I feel like I heard that Crystite resonators are changing with the patch, should I be dumping them now for the XP or should I hold on? If anyone has any suggestions for things to do before the 15th I'm all ears. And man the Dev invasion tonight was pretty cool, fighting devs with huge HP pools while AI chosen drop siege guns and try to take the major cities. It feels like the good old days of the huge invasion that always attacked copa.

ErrantSystems posted:Thanks, I have no clue honestly. I'll take suggestions here if anyone has good ideas, something goon themed maybe? Shoots bees? I really wanted to suggest an AMR for the recon frames. Single shot heavy weapon (think 1 round magazine, 20 spare rounds) that did 2x the damage of the Nighthawks Sniper Rifle but had 3x the reload speed and a 50% damage bonus to equipment/deployables kind of like the perk. You would get one round that absolutely wrecks poo poo but you'd better aim it right or you're hosed. Reload speed perks would be useful. Secondary weapons are fantastic in the new build so it's not a big drawback if you have to get down in the thick of it. Being able to one-shot Chosen turrets would be fantastic. Since some of the guns in game are based loosely (or directly) off of Unreal Tournament guns, I'd love to see a return of the Ripper Gun or whatever the one was hat shot saw blades and bounced off walls. Add a nifty bee sound to the projectiles and you're set. I'm not sure what class that would fit with more. Dread? Engineer? How about the Flak Cannon? Primary fire could be the same as the Arsenal's Combat Shotgun ability and the alt fire could be like a regular grenade launcher. Tell me that wouldn't be fun. xxEightxx posted:All permanent resource boosts are gone. Founder permanent exp boost will remain. From what I've read, vouchers/reputation are like this: You know how right now you can go to Sunken Harbor and donate resonators to get Sunken Harbor Vouchers that you can only spend in SH at the Quartermaster? It's exactly like that but instead of using resonators to get them after patch, you get them as rewards for the local job board. The quartermaster will supposedly have different things than the crap guns they currently sell too. Better things. Edit: Sphrin posted:For some reason I feel like I heard that Crystite resonators are changing with the patch, should I be dumping them now for the XP or should I hold on? If anyone has any suggestions for things to do before the 15th I'm all ears. They said in FFL that they'll be used in OWPVP to upgrade your bases so you get access to vehicles with weapons, army thumpers, better defenses, etc. If you like to shot mans, keep 'em. AMPs and all things bought with AMPs will be converted to salvage so I'd suggest converting them all into Resonators. Nobody's buying ore anymore. Convert it to the stuff to turn into the dude for the rewards there. Or, make your very best gear so you won't be naked on launch day. http://www.firefallthegame.com/item-migration Inimicul fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jul 12, 2014 |

I guess I never played with anything higher than stock / T1. It's now one of my favorite Mammoth abilities in the game. I'm going to have to buy a T4 version if there's one on the market before downtime.

I haven't played this in a long time, but saw a youtube vid that reminded me I had shelled a bunch of cash on this about 8 months ago. I log in only to find all my battleframes stripped with only the starter gear. I seem to have stuff in my inventory but I can't equip it. What gives? Also when this comes out of beta, will there be a wipe? Thanks!

I log in only to find all my battleframes stripped with only the starter gear. I seem to have stuff in my inventory but I can't equip it. What gives? There was an overhaul on how gear worked. it used to be Level 1-4 gear that you had to be "leveled up" to use. Then they just went to constraints, so if you wanted to use a level 4 equivalent gun at level 2 you could, but then the rest of your gear would suck. So the gear you have is probably the old style and can only be salvaged for Crystite. There is something somewhat like a wipe happening, but not completely. It's just a gear migration where gear is getting flattened, and won't have the best stats that will be available after patch. There are several of those "path to launch" blogs on their site you can look at.

There's two in each city and they show up on the map so you can't miss them. Come back on the 15th when the game launches with the new patch so you don't spend two days learning what's changed only for it to be changed again on Tuesday.

I've got a bunch of items of various prestige levels that I think I got from those crates they gave out the last time they changed everything. Definitely the old I-IV stuff. I would make sure to open the crates and get the gear out of them since unopened crates vanish. I'd keep anything newer than the I-IV gear if you like crafting and want mucho salvage. If you don't gently caress with crafting and just want the CY, then salvage before the patch. You remember all the Crafting Component vendors near the printers that sold things like structural reinforcement I? Go to them and they'll convert AMPs into Crystite Resonators in blocks of either 1 or 10. Do all of them and then turn the resonators in at the SIN towers to get 500xp each. Use xp boosts if you have them before hand.

http://www.firefallthegame.com/item-migration Complete list of what things turn into. If it's not listed it doesn't change. TL:DR Newer gear transfers over into useful stuff so you're not naked but with inventory limits, you're going to want to salvage almost all of it. Also, salvage all your passives. They go away so you may as well get something out of them while you can.

You have all of Sertao and Devil's Tusk (Diamond Head) to fill up with ARES missions, some new open world events, Job Boards are a huge deal, the new instanced 20 man raids, new storyline missions, the whole Chosen Warfront DT take back event, and who knows what all OWPVP has in store for us. That's a whole continent we've only caught very small glimpses of in videos like the Gamespot trailer. I keep going back to watch it to see the different vehicles and their different weapons.

I'm more pissed about the fact that they're only releasing this now and couldn't be arsed to get some of it ready with the last reset when high level players had nothing to do. I know it's not as easy as it sounds but come on, they probably lost a good bunch of people right there.

The core game mechanics are changing. If they pumped out a bunch of new content back then, they'd have to take longer to redo it for now. They just went straight with rebuilding it rather than band-aids. Granted, it meant keeping us in the dark for 7 months but I think it'll be worth it.

It was a special treat having LemonKing and Jazzhands in the group at the same time during all that. I also quite enjoyed it when one of the devs got into the copa respawn room and I pinned him in the corner with my Mammoth and fed him plasma.

This could literally have been said a year ago and it would have been equally as wrong then. The primary problem with FF is that it's been stuck in beta development hell. Rather than refine ideas, the FF team decided to completely remake the game mechanics four goddamn times. If they had just kept the second revision of the mechanics (the first was utter poo poo) and refined them, then a large part of the team could have been making more content rather than reinventing the wheel, and they'd be building on two years of iteration instead of starting fresh yet again.
