I just started up and now have two battleframes up to minimal levels (12 for engie & 7 for Medic). Apparently, I somehow missed claiming the permanent newbie LGV due to real life popping up. Is it worth restarting a new character to get the LGV, or do you think it's worth trudging on to level 25 until I can just craft it?

The starting freebie one, is ok, but not great. You get enough freebie one uses from the slot machine, and the abundant glider pads that waiting till 25 isn't that bad at all.

They changed it so you can get your first LGV once you get to Trans Hub. I wouldn't bother re-rolling your character.

EDIT: I think the quest is called "Graduation". Look for it.


Thanks! I'll keep on trucking through and try to find the mission to get there a bit quicker.

Any chance I could get an invite to the Army for 'Dredra'? I'm unable to hit the Apply button in-game.


EDIT: Graduation is definitely the right mission. You get a P-1 LGV blueprint as the reward. I was level 13 and it was a priority mission taking me to Trans Hub.

I Just moved to Sertao, and I finally was able to have a NPC walk/move coherently during an escort mission. This game has so many glaring bugs that cripple the experience, but I just can't stop playing despite them.

I just started in on this game. Is there a certain level I have to reach or something I have to do before I can apply for an army? My IGN is Vestakia, and I'm currently lvl 11. Nothing seems to let me click that "apply" button.


Edit: Now I can't build the P1 LGV. I have all the parts, and credits, and it just says "can't build more than 1" and won't let me click the build button.

Try to grab one of the admins for the Army when they're online and they can manually invite you to join us. You can see who is online by going to the Army tab in game and selecting Goon Squad. A green light will be by the name of anyone who is online. There is a known bug that affects some players and makes them unable to click buttons.

Are you sure you don't already have a P1 LGV? They've been given out for free at level 1 and a couple other times in the past for events. Double check your vehicles in game and make sure you don't own one already. If you don't, then submit a support ticket as that would be a new bug. You shouldn't have to do anything new outside of just regularly crafting the silly thing.

Also, :siren: Chosen Offensive starts in 20 minutes! :siren:

Make sure you log in for an hour.

I hope everyone followed Nalin's advice. The CO was a blast, and battling the devs was as much of a clusterfuck as you'd imagine. We ended up running a skydock with about 50 people (half or so were level 24) and still managed to fail because no one wanted to fuel the silly ship :effort:

I decided to live stream power-leveling/killing of Terromoto on twitch. The first person to come in just said 'No one really watches Firefall' and then left 30 seconds later. By the end of it I had a half a dozen lurkers in there watching me move slowly towards the brink of insanity. I like to think that they celebrated me becoming the Bronze Weight Holmgang Champion dozens of times in a similar way to how I did :suicide:.

But now my Biotech is 24 - So I'm in the clear. Right? Guys?

I've sunk way to many hours into GA. It was such a darn fun game, and Firefall is really the best of what the open world GA could have been. If only we could bring a CTF mode into Firefall..........

Protip for Wintertide: If you're having trouble getting another player to knock out at the snowball dome then you can knock yourself out! Just find a handy dandy rock and throw a snowball at it. You can aim it to bounce off the rock and knock yourself out, which gives you credit for 'knocking a player or elf unconscious'.

I recently got my 2nd battleframe up to level 40. I'm looking to gear it up properly so I can start being useful in BP/DT. I found the following 'guide' online. Should I just be running missions at these locations for vouchers to get the applicable items? Warning: It breaks tables.



Does anyone know of a more efficient way to gear up? I have about 10k credits available, so I could probably buy a decent outfitting for one or both frames to start farming, but I didn't know if there is a better way I should think about getting gear before just throwing credits and time at a random image from the internet.

Did anyone ever find a way to refresh the jobs available on a board other than doing jobs until the one you want shows up?

My God - someone make this happen. That'd be the greatest thing to happen sense JobMem.

Also, JobMem makes this game 10x better. It enables Terromoto mass-murder and supreme speed bootlegging.

The army still has a few people who log in every now and then. I play it maybe once every two weeks. There just isn't any new content right now so lots of people have pretty much hit the end and are just waiting. The next big patch will have arena PvP so there will probably be some staying power at that point. Possibly.

I'm waiting to hear of a new patch that bumps up the content. Once that happens I"ll most likely hop in and start gunning again.


EDIT: VVVVV P much that.

RIP Red 5.

I can't help but think that if they had stuck to one direction, even a flawed one, that it would have been better than the N revamps they were going through.

But drat, I'm going to miss the world events. Those things were just a hoot. Scrambling from all around the map to try and murder BK is something I can remember with a huge smile from this game.

I tried to login last night to make sure I owned an Arsenal, but I missed that they went down early for maintenance. D'oh.

I'm excited to give things a try after the patch. Hopefully it's not too bonkers broken.

What the poo poo is going on with this, it's been offline since Tuesday? I only started playing this dumb game last week, is this normal for them?

From the brief time I've spent with it this is more my poo poo than regular MMOs 'cos it doesn't have the regular MMO style combat and I'm a sucker for games that make moving around the map fun. This patch had better not dick about with the jetpacks. Also I'm loving salty they've fooled around with the two frames I've enjoyed most, the Arsenal and Firecat. RIP that cool Firecat gun and your funky altfire mode.

This is par for the course as far as patching goes. Luckily, we only have these major game-rework patches every 6 months or so.

This is a game that I love, I love to hate, and I hate to love.

Edit: See next post. None of this is surprising.

But whatever. I am a goon and I like to laugh at drama. Even over this stupid, dead game that I love.

This. As many hours of fun as Firefall gave me - I'm not getting about the same watching the drama and upheaval at its demise.

Unrelated: I genuinely, unironically loved the game Hellgate: London and put in hundreds of hours into it.

The way I understand it, if they're in turret mode, then they get stuck in the flight/turret status and can't move or change anything. That lasts until the glider pad disappears. If you're not in turret mode then you just fly a bit.

No matter the mechanics, it's hilarious.

RIP Firefall.

I legit had a ton of fun at this game. There was a while (while alt-fire existed) that I could log onto this game for hours and just hunt bronto kings, murder spiders, and farm the beach that was a hoot. Very few other games captured the open world combat aspect in quite as fun of a way.

RIP Firefall RIP my bumble bee.

I tried the game again and my level 28 assault became a level 1 something. Nice

Check out your call-downs. You should have some sort of XP giving item that boosts your character level.

Or just don't log in again. The second option is probably the better of the two.

I think I won't try the game again

The only winning move is not to play.

I had an equally bad transition experience. I ended up having to open a ticket to try and get it fixed, and they were just never answered. I ended up just blowing my last red beans on random crap and then logging out for good.

RIP Firefall.
