I think beta keys are suspended for now because they are doing major changes to the game and it will be ready hopefully by end of July. Been playing off and on for the past 3 months and its kinda fun, especially the PvP matches.
Hopefully more can join when the new update is finish.

Yeap yeap =)
Good to hear some news from player.

anyone currently in current beta?

If you want higher fps, you need to use alt ~ to access console, then type windowsize 1 1 120 1, if I'm not wrong to reduce resolution to smallest possible at 120hz.

XY22P-3QNQY-NK58G-A6XZ2

tried it last night.
dont quite get it.
what the mission? how to upgrade battleframe? how to earn exp other than grind mob?
what do we get from helping others thumping?

The mission is to kill aliens, ie takeover their territory, like planetside 2 (and defending territory), the purple color territory on map. But the game's in beta I suppose that territory expansion is not available even now, last time I tested ~5 months ago still not implemented, but still can kill alien bugs and pvp.



Upgrade get materials from thumping or pvp, then make the battleframe parts in the big computer terminal on the right 2nd floor of copacobana then assemble it into ur battleframe, press p or sth?



Only other way earn exp is pvp, actually pvp faster than mob.



Help others thump u get exp and materials but must be in his pt. Actually thumping is a way of grinding also, as it attracts mobs more than if you go find mobs to kill manually.

key pelase!

Tried this pass beta weekend.

Only problem I face beside not much player activity is TRAVELING IS A b****.

Very little to no updrafts for glider.

anyone have a spare key =(
been waiting for beta invite for a damn long time

Goes open beta yesterday, wonder how good this game is?

I've seen gameplay and it didn't really struck me that it's a game I'll play.
Despite that, I've downloaded it and decide to give it a try tonight.

seems good enough for MMOFPS.. been enjoying the recon and dreadnaught style for now.. anyone else playing?

I am playing here can add me ZanderZ anyone wanna team up for ares mission??

0.0 surprised not much people responding to this thread. The gameplay is awesome ...

what's the ping like?smooth?

the gameplay is ok and enjoyable to me for awhile. but the pve part become a bit repetitive after sometime.
but then i only tried it back then in the beta months ago. dunno if they add anything new since then.
but if after like more than 1 year of beta it still at that level back then, i doubt it changed a lot after just a couple of months.
it's no harm to enjoy it for the time being.
still i wont re-download the game again just to see if they add anything new.

Imo.. this type of game is still kind of new. Needs alot of polishing. There many mmofps.. but this one is something new.

only if they would add more differentiations to their dynamic events and not just the same few type, or sequential dynamic events where 1 chain to another such as GW2.

It would be a great mmofps..it's kinda boring after awhile.

I would agree on that.. The game looks kinda vague in various aspect.
Till now i had no idea what should i do.

I only knew about activating outpost. Something like diablo's waypoint activation.

Sudden typhoon*After destroying the wierd minions. U had the chances to enter a warp to somewhere i had no idea about*

Though something caught my interest is that.. just like regular mmo, u could accumulate exp ,resources and currency to buy, upgrade and customize your character.

Game still in obt stage. So probably still alot of features not reveal to players yet. This is a game that runs like f2p ,working like an mmo pve style which is fps. Would definitely be promising in later stages.

not to burst your bubble of positivity toward this game, but , the game have been in cbt for more than a year before this obt and it almost had nothing new added.
at this stage im really skeptical about this game developer Red5 studio to deliver.
not to mention this game lead designer had the gal to bash other game like wow and others instead of trying to prove his point on his own game.

for open world mmo fps there is also Defiance if you like to have pve elements and also Planetside2 for pure pvp
but just like this game they also suffer from repetitiveness after awhile.

Too many empty promises. I'd wait for real release to decide whether to play it. The idea is correct but taking too long to implement. Their BETA is what people of 2000 will call a BETA for a game, but still the progression are too damn little to be enjoyable.

I see.. Though one thing. These days, many game designer or producers will actually try to pin point the weakness of other games and try to promote what's the strength of their game.
I think i tried either defiance or planetside2.. not sure which one. It's so lag that i could barely move when i logged in.
At first i thought is my pc issue, though it appears that my connection isnt able to support the game fully.
It's hitting me with countless lag spike. Although i'm on streamyx 4mb package.

Sad then.. maybe you just unluckily log on during server having high load or something. I tried Defiance before and playing Planetside2 actively everyday using only 2mb streamyx package. I rarely having a lag spike and if it happen usually restarting router do the trick.

Forgot to ask, did they release the bp/recipe of the cycler? Or free user still stuck with that 1 time use cycler.. Kinda sad that they only give permanent cycler to paying customer only without giving alternative for free user.

Not sure.. I'm still very blur about the game lol.. Too many upgrades and crafts i have yet to start. Just now doing melting tornado. The tornado spawn inside the cliff lol..
It seems that i met alot of malaysian players in copacabana. At least 6 who is quite activitely involved.

anyone still rocking this game? just downloaded it and well, man the latency lag DDDDDDDDDD:

is this mmorpg or fps like cs?

both.
the control will be just like CS.
item upgrade and mission just like mmorpg.
people say this is a true mmofps genre.
only games that in this genre that i know of are Firefall, Defiance and Planetside2.
but i heard that a new game call Destiny by Blizzard will fall under this genre too.

how about the mission?

is this like rakion?

i never played Rakion so i dont know what it like.
but from Firefall close beta (i didnt play the live version)
the mission is mostly defending from waves of enemy for a certain time, going to a place to a another in a time frame, operate devices and so on.
there are also lots of instant quest event just like in Rift/GW2. Player can also generate this event by calling thumper(mining device) and other player can just join by helping you stopping wave of enemies trying to stop that device.

how bout the latency?

it is fine, but this game most of the time, you would be grinding with parties, so most of the time for hot spots, will be a bit laggy,

yea as deanchin90 said the latency not so good.
also if i use wifi dongle instead of LAN wire to connect i will be easily dced from the server.
but i only play during beta phase. they only have a server at that time.
i thought that they have better server for asia for live version? dunno bout this.

tried this.. lag when too many player... and sometime it stuck like sounding trrrrrrrrrrrr .. abit confused

Destiny by Bungie.
Planetside 2 is not this genre since it's full PvP.
Closest to this genre is Borderlands series but they aren't MMO so Firefall and Destiny is made somewhat based on Borderland's gameplay with add in PvP since it's MMO.
Firefall is looking really bad with Destiny's announcement. Now if Bungie announces Destiny coming to PC then firefall can start getting ready to tapao. It's F2P alright, but no one trusts F2P model anymore.

o ya ka? lol dunno la too many games to track nowadays.
Bungie is the one that make Halo series right?
fans of Halo sure will flock to Destiny la like that. really no chance la this Firefall.

i still didnt lose faith in F2P.
my sig should tell it all. 45days clocked and still counting.
FPS shouldn't have much difference between f2p or b2p or monthly pay if there any.
COD and BF also full of kids like all other f2p shooters.

Yeah the one that made Halo.

Planetside is an okay F2P because it's pure PvP and guns are sidegrades. You can still use Gauss Saw to kill a Jackhammer guy up close without a problem.

But firefall, you need money for upgrade slots, battleframes. If a game takes the model of an MMORPG, where PvE, and class skills and class differentiation are much more focused, F2P will mean limited stuff like upgrade slots, bank space, stuff like that which I really start to see it pointless being F2P.

PS2 is only guns, for the most part. I played PS2 free untill now, no SC bought, no problem.
I didn't feel I was limited in anything just I'm much slower grinding for guns and shit which I'm okay since I only need 1-2 guns to have fun.

Firefall launch this week, no more beta. So download it steam. see you there.

Got any sea guild ?so boring playing by myself

add me ign:warfarer. Im also playing by myself. Still looking for Malaysia guild.

Join the steam group for Firefall Asia. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/FirefallAsia

Lets party up and have fun together!

Is this game any better?

Last I heard the game is extremely buggy, unbalance and boring.

Looking for a co-op TPS because I am tired of Defiance already, preferably 1 that is like Killing Floor or L4D.

Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

No group could be retrieved for the given URL.

wtf?

same problem here

Login today and found out that my beta char is still there + batteframe unlocks.

Sweet

anyone receive email stated free 8 hours vip access give away? just remember i download firefall and register when it launch but until now havent try yet..

nice. i also played the beta but the earliest version.
so my old char is not there.

battleframe and weapon progression was different than what we have now.
quest progression also different.
dunno if it because there are lots of player around or what, but the Chosen dont attack and capture bases now?
during my time in beta some base usually get captured by chosen and and alert will trigger for players to get that base back.

I guess the dev removed those 'features' just to achieved release date

For the first few hours, I was wondering why the watchtowers were devoid of activities.... not to mention where the heck is the skill points system.

Dunno about skill point system but there is perks.

...somehow got the urge to check this out again.. wonder if i still have my nighthawk around..

gah, 3 gig update.

whyyyyyyyyy........

Tried it. Seems fun. Looks like it might (almost) just fill in the void Tabula Rasa left in me.

Now to see whether I can play it "as is", or if I need to use a tunnel like Battleping.

Found a Malaysian guild called Malaysia. Tag is [MY]. Quiet a few members.
Joining it.

still cant find SEA guild, Malaysia guild seems dead

Found a mixed group, Malaysian/SG based players for now. Just started, Will o wisp, the leader is PaperFace.

seem dead because most of us are casuals...
but If you want to make it better and help increase our army counts for easy squad,mission, or thumping, feel free to join us here...
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/FirefallMalaysia

Those who need an army to start and learn the game can join us, army tag is WISP ingame. Contact XzeeBit

i'd already join WISP too

not sure how to play.
As a beginner, I just need to follow the quest/instructions only?

Do board quest if you got nothing to do, fastest leveling method is actually doing the dynamic events if they are available.

I'm OatDragon in game FYI.

Tried this game for a few days.

Final verdict - game is totally unplayable due to shitty ping and constant rubber banding. When I say "constant", I mean every single second even when you are doing nothing but walking around no where near anyone.

dunno what the ping now since this shitty 512k issue.
but it i used to get a constant 220~230ms only ingame. i use the /showping command ingame to view my latency.

but the rubber banding is a real issue back then and till now. that mostly on bad coding of the game.
now it really frustrating to play non-local server game.

I never try the showping command, so I don't know the actual ping, I am just assuming I get bad ping because I am rubber banding all over the place.

Even worse when I am in fast pace action using jump jet and shooting at the same time.
