chestnut santabag posted:Seeing as all research takes 20 seconds, are they going to reset research come launch day? That will only happen until your time pool is exhausted. All the time you put into the system before was kept so you have a huge pool of time that is being put toward research. Once that is gone the actual times will start applying. So no not going to wipe it.

Is it just dressing up the Voucher system? Lazer Monkey posted:The latter. To expand most POI's now sell Level appropriate equipment and other random stuff, like some have Crafting recipes and consumables as well.

Fina posted:So seriously what is the Power Level stat and why should I care? The only difference between a level 30ish rare ROF mod and a level 7 rare ROF mod is the power level. I'm trying to figure out what Power Level even does and if it's just easier to craft a bunch of rare level 7 mods to stick in my guns. It is basically your Frames Power level, literally as it increase a bunch of stuff but two important ones are Health and Damage. I think it was 1% Health bonus per 1 Power added.

The old Modified base Abilities and Weapons are still in [except Soaring Afterburner] they are blueprints at certain POI's you can buy to get certain levels of the recipe.

Fina posted:I just unlocked the Assault Lvl 20 perk that increases Plasma & energy weapon damage by 10%. I'm assuming that means it applies to Fusion and Thermal cannons, but what else is considered an energy weapon? Raptor, Electron, and Accord Engineer off the top of my head are classified as Energy. Really need a tooltip on weapons for Damage Type, still a couple UI issues like that floating around, like Raptor not seeing how many Charges their Perk has stored.

Yeah the Intro is put together from 2-3 other Trailers they have used before. Hey Lemon King your name was dropped in a ARES Job Mission dialogue today, that was funny to find.

Fina posted:So why is the ammo capacity on the Fusion Cannon so low? It's the only weapon in the game that I have to burn ammo packs on in nearly every mission. Other weapons store enough ammo to take down an entire army. There are a bunch of weird little tweaks like that which are sort of hangers on from previous Balance passes that are not really applicable anymore. See Bombs Away having very little damage as another example where the numbers are not quite working in the new setup. For now I would get used to making sure you make the most of your damage, something has a sliver left just pull out your secondary and put a couple shots in.

Kaincypher posted:I see. So the advanced frames can use 2 weapons, the base class only one. How about abilities, essentially same question: Is my level 10 Engineer going to be using the same skills as the level 40, only with higher power levels? Generally speaking each Frame has a Weapon, Perk, HKM and 3 Abilities tied to it, but there are some Archetype Abilities you can get as well. These are generally modified Abilities like Rocket Turret being a Heavy Turret Modification but there is stuff like Burn Jets for all Assault Archetypes that is unique.

permanoob posted:Probably been asked before and I really don't want to read the official forums because gently caress that place, but are we going to get invasions back? I saw a Chosen squad try and take over a watchtower last night but the guards are so buff now they killed the squad before I could get to it. What about incursions? Haven't seen an incursion since 1.0 either. Chosen still attacks POIs in Sertao and OCT in Sertao has a Invasion like event that is pretty great. Incursions are only in DT far as I know.

It was added to solve Air Mobility issues in PvP, namely that you are really slow in the air by default, made shooting anyone jetting a breeze. Was really odd having Jets be a death sentence so Air Sprinting was added which helped somewhat.

Ralith posted:It takes a lot of climbing to get to the exit, severely cutting into your resource take. There's no real reason not to just stay in and grab everything you can until you die. Depends which Melding Tornado Instance you get, there are three now I think? Only one involves climbing, the other two are more distance travel and terrain navigation.

Fina posted:I'm not sure what to think about the Afterburner changes yet, but I'm hoping this is the start of a trend where they make module diversity more useful for more skills. In the case of Afterburner only Recharge or Force did anything to the skill, nothing else had any difference in the ability. They appear to be going through all the kills and trying to add more Modules effects to them, there were a couple other in there. Will have tot test it but it looks like a slight nerf to AfterBurner spam but you can do some absurd poo poo if the charges work like TrailBlaze. Like Arfterburner in then immediately Burn right out again, like the kind of thing Firecat can do now only with a single Ability.

Zephyrine posted:Sniping has its ups and downs. With some of these massive fights it feels pretty insignificant to be able to shot one enemy here and there. What I do is find a perch and then I use the grenade launcher to apply moderate AOE damage across the field and then I switch to the rifle to clean up the flying long range enemies. Those can be really dangerous when they become too many as their attacks become near impossible to dodge when you have 15 of them shooting at their own pace. That is SIN Beacon which is a base Recon Ability, you may be thinking of SIN Scrambler, it lights up a single target on SIN and makes it taunt surrounding enemies.

Morglon posted:Well the new zone is a raging success. There's about 20 Bastions camped out right at the melding wall next to the crash site. Good luck getting your quests done ever. Also the Chosen excavators don't despawn so you're stuck fighting over scrap with about 50 other people. Breaking Content with [Enough] Turrets is a time honored Firefall tradition, been going on since all we could do was Thump and Bugs could not climb walls.

Nalin posted:So far the new new new user experience is pretty good. They combined the old Battle Lab with the current NPE, with some other tweaks. Like lots of music. Also, wow, Copa has changed. But the biggest change of all? Aero has a new voice. I've been playing this game for over 3 years now and I just cannot get used to it. She does not have a new voice, what you are likely hearing is Pre-VA Scratch recordings, what they use before paying out for the actual Actress, before lines are finalized someone in the R5 office just records the lines to make sure the voice triggers work and so on. Not much point paying for a recording session for stuff that is a work in progress.

Inimicul posted:Have they mentioned a cap to these prestige levels? It'll be so nice to do the take back DT mission for all the loot, cash, and obscene xp and not feel like it's all being wasted. The words they keep using is "no Theoretical Cap", which may mean they have no Mechanical issue scaling forever but may cap some stuff for other reasons or just that at some point adding more points into something doe snot give much benefit since it is a scaling bonus not a flat one.

Nalin posted:Try checking your network settings. Firefall doesn't ship with high quality textures and instead downloads them on demand. You believe you should be able to allocate extra bandwidth to textures. Which has the hilarious consequence that every time some reviewer grabs the game to look at it some random update or other they mention Texture issues.

Especially things from sooo long ago. I cannot imagine any Engine Coders have stuck around through every iteration of the Game, so how good do you think the documentation is between overhauls?
