sleeptides posted:So can someone go a bit more in depth about the term "open world PvE"? What does that actually mean in terms of how the game plays, and how close is it to a traditional mmo? I won't be in depth, but I will be honest: In Firefall, you fly over everything in the "open world" (the world is really small and it feels even smaller due to the flying) in order to kill one of 4 "random events," which will get old on your first day of playing. You can also drop thumpers which are things that just spawn a bunch of mobs for you to kill. You can try and twist that to sound better but it's true. PvE ain't fun right now and it remains to be seen if they can even take this concept and make it fun.

I got a beta invite for this from a friend a few months back, I installed it but never ended up playing. Sounds pretty interesting, maybe I'll actually give it a shot this time.

I'm excited about this also. And even as it is, I much prefer a smaller world full of action-based content that requires true skill to overcome rather than tab targeting and cycling through abilities. Melding thumping and battling chosen just never gets old for me. I put my headphones on, jack up my music, and the constant action is kind of like therapy.

Got a feeling the 30 day license I bought in Star Conflict is going to go largely unused. Plus tomorrow is my birthday so I will go ahead and say this patch is just for me. Thanks. Ed: anyone have clarification for the following: "•Squad Thumpers are designed for full squads. Resources are shared equally amongst the squad (no splitting)." What is difference between sharing and splitting? xxEightxx fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Mar 22, 2013 |

I assume by splitting it means, if you get say 500 of a resource, split between 2 thats 250 each and if it's shared then everyone just gets 500 each.

"All matches created via matchmaking are played at hours between 8am and 6pm in-game time (no more night time PvP)" I jumped in after a 6 month break, and nobody was in PvP. Is this "no night time pvp" a new thing?

Such an odd choice to turn all the classes straight up into league of legends characters with the 3 skills, passive and ultimate design. Kicks the crap out of the old design for ease of use though. edit: quote:Primary Weapon - Shock Rifle  (was this always in?)

I think as far as army names and such something along the lines of Tribesfall incorporating tribes and somehow maybe adding the whole "bees" theme works well for this game but my brain ran out of thinkjuice for actual suggestions.

The new Rhino and Recluse battleframes sound like they're going to be incredibly fun. Lasers everywhere, poison everywhere? Yes please. Also really happy that the Biotech's primary weapon on the variants is having its alt-fire changed to something I'd actually use more often. Micro-healing waves and poison grenades, I'll take both of those over a shotgun blast that just chews through your ammo.

I hope they've done just as good balancing the actual frames as they've done the descriptions. Almost every frame looks awesome to me. I'll probably end up trying them all like I did before the patch.

All I've done the past few days is do hit and run attacks on Chosen squads and the Accord Recon suit now looks like it'll do that perfectly. Silly sniper rifle replaced with a medium range assault rifle and poo poo that is all about loving with enemies rather than winning outright firefights is all I wanted. Plus better Chosen patrols/squads will make it that much funner.

Wadjamaloo posted:What does this mean? What is the difference between split and shared? previously they were split, so the advanced thumper would give you like 5000 resources (numbers not correct, just an example), so if you had 5 people in your squad then each person would get 1000, but if you could do it with two people, each of you would get 2500. So the personal ones will be split like that. THe new thumper sounds like it gives you 1000 resources each, it won't matter if your squad has 2 people or 5 people. Probably to encourage people to let less experienced people into their squads.

I'm kinda bummed out that my Tigerclaw frame won't have Rocket Jump anymore. Rocket Jump + Afterburner gave me so, so much mobility that it was difficult to use anything else. I loved being able to continuously Rocket Jump + Afterburner boost my glider to travel half of the playable map before landing, or fly up giant cliffs that everybody else would have to run around.

Yeah, everything in the patch looks cool enough that I'm still excited for the patch, but Tigerclaw was my favorite class entirely for the mobility. (I ran cannonball, afterburners, rocket jump, didn't even bother with offensive abilities)
