Today is Firefall patch day. This is a pretty huge content patch, so if you have not played for a while you should really try it out again. They starting to put in story content. The progression system is much more streamlined, there will be a marketplace and other stuff. Open Beta is coming early in July, However, If you have not tried Firefall and want to right now, let me know and I will get you an invite. Some of the new stuff: trading marketplace research tree being added - more organized and sensible crafting Frame progression is being changed to broad resource groups rather than specific resources loot drops will have gear added drops will be only available to specific players or teams from now on thumper waves changed to give more mini-boss encounters and less swarms Dropship transport between cities and POIs New melding pockets (Diamondhead, Antartica and Sargasso Sea) New 5 man instance - Blackwater Anomaly Melding bubbles will have unique resources which are better than in New Eden How to open the new areas (http://forums.firefallthegame.com/c...o-get-to-the-new-areas-upcoming-patch.760041/) New PvP mode JetBall Preview of the zones (http://www.twitch.tv/r5studios/b/421379761) Background and info on Blackwater Anomaly (http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/6/18/4438746/mmo-firefall)
I've got 5 Beta invites also, downloading now! Looks like fun, getting a little bored with Defiance when I just feel like shooting stuff now and then.
Been having fun, trying to figure out upgrading. Do not have enough time to spend getting to detailed with it, so I'll probably just be running around blasting stuff.
Is anyone still playing this game? I found myself spending allot of time in this game lately and enjoying it allot. I know that we have an army something in this game but was told last time I was playing it with SoR people that it was full. Is this still the case after all the patches? Anyway if you want to play a bit you can normally find me in game as "Rumrunner". Just send me a tell if you want to group up.
I play a little most evenings, more if more people are on. However it seems like Blue and I are the only Americans who play.
I goof around on it once in a while when I do not have time to do anything else. mostly play an engineer. If any of you want any of those flaming masks to wear let me know.
ok... i'm installing it as I type.. will have some variation of my name in game.... seems more and more games not using split names, like Togg Bott. so I end up doing Togg Or Toggbott
Next milestone patch coming approximately a week after Gamescom. http://forums.firefallthegame.com/community/threads/the-next-milestone-patch-and-gamescom.1852641/ One thing to Note: OMGWTFBBQ THANK YOU BABY JESUS
New info on Open Beta Stage 2 We will be building melding repulsers to push the melding back in areas of our choosing, this will shape the world and ultimately unlock and open new towns, events, instances. The content will be shaped to how and where the melding is pushed back. Later, you will have a global map where you can see the warzones (melding pockets) where you can take part in events. http://www.firefallthegame.com/news/gamescom-announcement-stage-2-of-open-beta-is-now-underway
Get Ready For Omnicon and the Epic New Arsenal Battleframe! Omnidyne-M is proud to announce Omnicon, their weapon expo extravaganza, featuring the brand new Arsenal Battleframe! Running from Tuesday (8/27) through Saturday (8/31), the event will allow every player to freely test drive the new dread based frame before making a purchase decision. During this time, any XP earned on an Arsenal frame will be boosted by 50%! Features of the Arsenal include: Flexibile, multi-role strategic heavy frame. Faster than standard Dreads thanks to servo enhancements. Multi-weapon loadout including: Light machine gun with shield-piercing rounds on alt-fire. Auto Shotgun for rapid fire close combat effectiveness. Particle Beam for long range punch and a deadly AOE splash. Rocketjump ability allows for burst movement and AOE damage. Built-in EMP countermeastures. An electromagnetic pulse will drain enemy energy while damaging them whenever the Arsenal triggers an ability. Omnidyne-M will be providing several daily challenges and obstacle courses in Sunken Harbor for pilots to give the Arsenal a great workout. Holmgang celebrity, Mustang, will also be on hand demonstrating the new frame, and Omnidyne-M is providing promotional banners that grant an additional 30% XP boost during the event! Gear up for the Arsenal with Double Crystite! Know you want an Arsenal but can't wait to gear up when you get it? Start now with Omnidyne-M's generous sponsorship of a double Crystite extended weekend, beginning now and running through the weekend. Increased Chosen and Melding Activity. Warning, we are also detecting increased Chosen activity with key elite troop movements. Some isolated reports are now reporting new types of Chosen, never seen before. We believe they may be attempting to steal the new Arsenal Battleframe technology, so all ARES teams should be on the lookout for tougher and larger numbers of Chosen forces during the Omnicon event! Melding Tornadoes Spiking New Energy Patterns! The Accord has also noticed a change in energy readings being reported from the Melding Tornadoes. Aero and the Accord science teams believe that additional wormholes are opening up, leading to new locations. We expect the energy pattern to reach their peak on Tuesday. Coincidence, or part of a massive Chosen initiative to sabotage Omnicon? Stay vigilant! SIN Improvements mean New Global Perspective Online! With the effort of ARES teams who have been working diligently to restore SIN to New Eden, we have managed to significantly enhance the speed and reliability of all SIN related terminals including inventory, garages and printers. Also, the Accord has managed to reactive a few of the remaining SIN satellites in orbit, allowing us to see first hand the scope and extent of the Melding attack on our world. Work is preceding feverishly on a new global SIN map for pilots everyone. Read more details on our blog! Double Crystite, XP boosts, and a New Battleframe! Come to Omnicon and Witness! So please, join us at Omnicon and try the new Arsenal Frame. ARES teams are also asked to provide additional security at the event as needed!
just started my first tier 4 research yesterday..... still have 72 hours to go... god only knows what I need to actually build the damn thing
T4 is surprisingly easy to build. Its allot more material but at least for the 2-3 things I have build so far I didnt needed any "fancy" stuff. I havent build skills yet though , just armor, weapons and jumpjets. But the bonuses are incredible. My Mammoth frame went from some 2650 HP to 4600ish HP from T3 to T4. Cant wait until my jumpjets are done so I can fly to the moon
lol... my BEST armor at the moment for my Bastion (my main) is 1600 ish. although the 5 multi-turrets and the heavy turret really chews face.
