Speaking of bugs, I can't get the game to let me complete the first strifebringers-under-Copacabana intro quest. I first went through it with a squadmate, and I think another few people were doing it simultaneously, so it was really confusing and I got the completion radio message twice but the quest marker and task list is still on my HUD. Going back in, I see the strifebringers and the prompts to destroy them, but when I approach one there's no "E" popup and I can't seem to interact with them. Pretty frustrating, especially with the HUD marker constantly confusing things when I'm trying to do something else.

Are hoverpads still available? I want to get me one of those, but there's no sign of 'em on the market.

Inimicul posted:The market is still filling up as people try to figure it out. If you're wanting a permanent one, it may be quite a wait but I keep getting them from copper vending tokens so at least the single use versions are plentiful. In the mean time, I'm dumping things on the market while I have 16 slots and no fucks to give. Regardless, I have to say this new market is a pretty awesome improvement.

I spent some time with a few of you running ARES quests in DT with low-level frames; at 30-50k XP each with another 100k every time an incursion shows up, it's a pretty good show for rapid levelling, albeit difficult.

The current market situation motivated me to go ahead and buy another advanced battleframe (in addition to my Firecat, Tigerclaw, and Raptor) while they're cheap, and based on many goonful recommendations I opted for the Mammoth. Just from the casual messing around with it I've done so far, I can tell that was an excellent decision, in that it plays completely differently than any of my existing classes, and does so while being immensely fun in its own right. Got my first three levels by calling down squad 2 thumpers outside Copa and wading through the sea of low-level spawns that result, tanking damage and hosing down everything in sight with an unending stream of glorious plasma. Not to mention that when gliding you can pretend to be an A10! I also discovered the glorious effect of mosquito wings when gliding. Dive a little, pull up so you're pointing vertically, then pop them and you'll gain a ridiculous amount of altitude. If you're like me and have tons of them sitting in your inventory from random drops, they'll make for a great way to glide further, faster, longer, and higher whenever the whim takes you. Combine with firecat using inferno dash, afterburner, and burn jets, and you can probably just fly straight up. I wonder if the world has a ceiling...

Darksaber posted:This happens with squad thumpers sometimes. In my experience it's like a third of the time, and I'm not sure if it's intended because every time it's happened to me it's been a squad wipe. Maybe it's just in there as random chance to discourage squad thumping with less than 5? Don't know.

There's a command, /stuck or /unstuck or something. Alternatively you can find a way to kill yourself.

Another happy discovery: the Mammoth's teleport shot ability plays well with gliders, so you can basically use it like afterburners to get extra airtime. Only tricky bit is you teleport in with zero velocity and instantly stall, so you have to be quick on leveling out. Not sure how well it scales; I only have a level 6 one righ tnow.

xxEightxx posted:Dear lord I had enough of that in eve. Count me out if that's what pvp becomes. I think gw2 was similar as well. Made for a most I fun pvp experience. Cheston posted:Their cooldowns are quite long and you'll rarely need them while soloing, so I wouldn't bother getting any of those three. If you don't have a glider pad, get one, and if you can also get a hoverpad, get one. When you place them next to eachother and walk between them, you get glider wings and a massive elevation boost. I rarely use an LGV because of this and it can get you pretty much anywhere very quickly, regardless of terrain or other obstacles. Even just a glider pad will increase your mobility a ton. Also, is there a reliable technique for getting the boost? I picked up a hoverpad recently for this exact reason, but I've been having a hard time reliably triggering both pads at once unless I luck into the rare glitch that lets you place them on top of eachother.

I've always been a fan of burn jets, just because there's a lot of melee enemies in this game and hovering over their head while shooting at them and setting them on fire is just amazing. Plus, it's great for mobility; it makes it far easier to cross large horizontal spaces, since you can trigger it when your jets run out and then wait for them to recharge, and even works with gliding if you apply sufficient finesse (i.e. have a high initial upwards velocity). I can't say I like the HKM much--it never seems to do much damage, doesn't impede the enemies from standing there and shooting at you, loves to bounce off terrain and go flying into the sky, etc. The assault HKM is pretty underwhelming too, but at least it does useful damage and hits reliably.

Did a bunch of squad 3 thumping with goons today in low-level areas. It frequently spawned like 5-10 tightly packed drop pods of chosen towards the end, which was immensely fun. You'd just charge around through this big herd of enemies firing everything you had in every direction and getting constant killstreaks and an inventory full of drops. Eventually we even found a place that spawned chosen for the regular enemies, too.

permanoob posted:I've been enjoying the game solo, but trying to get missions done with multiple people is terribly cumbersome. Had some friends start playing with the new changes and both missions we tried were riddled with bugs and problems and took a long time to complete because of that. High level thumpers sometimes but not always result in a spam of chosen drop pods near the end; other than that, they should be pretty consistent at any given drop point.

I've found that my inventory use always expands to fill the space I have. You can also always just sell the stuff you don't have an immediate use for, and buy it back later if/when that changes. I'm starting to just salvage all whites I pick up, too.

No single type of gameplay Firefall offers holds up well on its own if you just do the one thing for hours on end. Its strength is that they're all pretty good in small doses and there's so many of them that you can easily spend a whole night playing and never do any one class of thing more than once or twice. You don't even have to plan most of the time; you can just amble around exploring and following random whims. That's how I stumbled upon my first chosen incursion, which was quite a nice surprise.
