Is the game still down for maintenance? I'm sitting at the "United Armies of the Accord" screen, with ambient sounds playing in the background but nothing happens.

This game looks a lot like global agenda. Anyone who's played both care to comment how the games differ?

Now I only played a bit of GA, so I might have missed some things in that game. Firefall has an open world while IIRC in GA you were going through different instances that had missions and those instances were limited in movement (I remember not being able to jetpack to some places, while in FF you can go pretty much anywhere). In FF the open world is only limited by the melding, which players will be able to move in the future. GA also didn't have the whole dynamic event system, while in FF in addition to regular quests you have a bunch of dynamic events that can happen anywhere in the world and some are player created (like thumping, which gives you resources). In FF the AI can even take over parts of the open world. So basically the differences are: actual open world, dynamic events, vehicles (don't remember if GA had them) and gliders along with faster movement, ability to use first person perspective, and obviously a much more different feel.

With this new patch it looks like my Tigerclaw frame can no longer "fly" pretty much forever? It looks like at least two of my movement abilities were removed, which is why I liked the frame in the first place. Still, I'm happy they are making such progressive changes across the board. Maybe more people will start playing the game, giving it a fighting chance to survive. Also, patch notes mention nothing about Armies (unless they call them something else and I completely missed it?). Graphics fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Mar 22, 2013 |

Yeah I'm bummed about my Tigerclaw too, but with how many quality frame options there are now I'm not worried. Armies are definitely in those patch notes, I can't load them right now on my phone but armies are definitely in with this patch.

I'm playing for the first time, just doing the tutorial missions or whatever. I'm supposed to enter the Trans Hub tunnels from entrance 1 or 2, but nothing happens when I do. Is it just buggy, or broken? Can I just ignore it and go off and kill stuff or will I miss out on "stuff"?

Army terminals are west of the molecular printer in Copacabana: I can't seem to build the small healthpacks on the molecular printer. Keeps saying all workbenches are busy. I was refining some minerals before the patch hit and never unloaded those so I hope my printer didn't bug out on that. Who is starting the army/ doing the invites?

Looks like the only movement ability the Tigerclaw gets is a slight 10% speed buff.  Also that fusion cannon has practically zero splash radius. It might actually be zero splash. For something that fires slow, holds 6 rounds, and doesn't contain that much ammo, it really, really sucks to miss shots. I also haven't been able to view my inventory; I get constant SIN errors. And, before the patch hit, I tossed an item in the printer (a melded DNA component thing) to finish overnight. Looks like I lost that too (hopefully it is just a symptom of my inventory not loading.) I have to head to work so hopefully they get all these issues sorted out for the weekend.

The new abilities are nice and all but I really miss having repulsor blast to knock out huge swarms of low hp enemies. The alt fire that slows enemies doesn't feel all that useful but it's better than that shield thing we had.

Not sure if they just opened invites or something but it tells me every single person on here has one already. If you didn't get an email please try going to their website and going through the beta account setup process and you should magically be in.

So the Recon frame is really god drat amazing now. Just chilling on the rooftops of Copacabana waiting for a friend to get in and throwing SIN beacons down at people thumping and getting resources and exp for it. The rifle is also fun as hell and can't wait to pop an expanded magazine and higher damage barrel on this bad boy.

Will be fun to play around with Firecat once I finish patching, that was my primary Frame before so interesting to see what it is like now only with more Fire.

Already spotted one flaw. The tutorial takes you through various commands, but fails to tell you how to operate them. Not a good idea for new players. ALSO: Who knew that Red 5 rented their servers from EA?

What's the command to crouch? (Yes, I know it, but this is a tutorial. It should tell that to you.) And yes, I'm reporting this as I go.
