[QUOTE=DarkendSky;36077966]The map will actually be dynamically expanded as players do shit. And it can contract again, too, if you suck.
This game in its full state will probably dominate the market really hard.[/QUOTE]
Depends on how the world expansion is done, it'd be cool if it was sort of like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JJDQGRGWsY]this[/url] in one area with some teams infiltrating an enemy-controlled facility to push back the melding.
[QUOTE=krakadict;36078082]when is the wipe coming?[/QUOTE]
Maybe tonight :ohgod:
;_;
Please no.
Nope, I read now that it will be in 6 to 8 weeks.
this week's update will probably be bugfixes and minor changes.

Who has?

Wait is that an old VW Golf?
It would appear so.
I have no idea about the story behind this thing.
Why is there a giant crashed ship in the distance, why are there giant bugs in Brazil and why are there VW Golfs around?

Oh that explains a lot, I wonder why I never got that.

Holy hell that was rad.
What year does it take place in anyway?

Great.
This combines well with the old cinematic:

[QUOTE=Speedbumb0;35945665]I just signed up for the beta a few days ago. reminds me of Tabula rasa
Hope it doesn't take to long to get a key..[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Took me like over a year. But that's how i got in a first wave of testers.
But since you know tabula rasa, i would really wish to give you a next key i get.
Just so that you can confirm how similar they are. And how much potential Firefall holds.[/QUOTE]
Dude i promised you, so now that i found i had invite on my little brothers account it's your chance.
Email:
There's story on their website, it explains basically what happened to the world before the Arclight crashes, though there's a few inconsistencies.

It's obvious their strongsuit isn't the story.
did they turn up the enemy spawnrates 5000%
jesus shit i logged in and the first thing i saw was three threshers raping a guard in the middle of copa
[QUOTE=mac338;36083491]It's obvious their strongsuit isn't the story.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the story isn't the greatest, but the game itself looks like it has some really awesome elements.
And to be fair, the story isn't super cliche, they seem to have made it up as they went.
YES.
"Added Battleframe Terminals and Research Vendors to Trans Hub"
No more running back to Copa just to get back old abilities when switching to a new pack.
I've never seen the intro cinematic in-game for some reason...
The most common rating in this thread is currently heart.
You're all such nice peoples.
Here's the update:
[QUOTE=Phobos]Bug Fixes
Fixed an error when there was a space after a slash in the chat box.
Fixed issues where the texture streaming quality setting would be automatically reverted to Highest.
Fixed problems with deploying Medium Health Pack calldown.
Fixed issues with AFK not being disabled when moving mouse or keyboard.
Fixes for issues with Swedish keyboards.
Game Changes
You should no longer see a player's health or name above their head when they are executed and waiting for respawn.
Modified the way animations decrease their quality over distance to prevent a lot of the popping and skipping.
The calldown menu will now sort calldowns by name instead of order purchased.
If the client receives a serious error that wouldn't normally cause a crash, you will be prompted to submit the issue after closing the game.
Improved the graphical quality of Ambient Occlusion.
Added Battleframe Terminals and Research Vendors to Trans Hub
You will no longer be forced into 3rd person camera when interacting with a PvP terminal.
Resource scan feedback now shows "Only Trace Minerals Found" instead of "100% Thumper Sifted Earth".
Sonic Detonators have had their cooldown reduced to 1 second.
Thumper locations are now "reserved" for 60 seconds after a thumper is returned.
The amount of energy you have left is now preserved when you change battleframes.
[b]The Medic's heal beam and vampiric beam are no longer healing or damaging players outside of field of view
This is a bug that requires time to fix. In the meantime, we've set it so that the beam will not appear if you are not healing or hurting so that you at least know when you're being useful.[/b]
Reduced the damage per pellet of the Assault scattershot alt-fire from 74 to 65.
Increased the accuracy of the Dreadnaught HMG while moving.
Dreadnaughts are now slowed when firing their HMG.
Known Issues
Sometimes after leaving a PvP match, you will see a "Mission Failed" statement. No mission was failed.

THEY FUCKED MEDICS UP

Yeh. For me that beam was bugging before nerf; it was cutting off even tho i was in range and sometimes didn't heal or leech even tho i saw effect. I bet now it's horrible to use.
So me and a freind were playing and suddenly I get an odd icon on the minmap.
It was a blue asterisk, the same colour as the the icons for people near you who aren't in your squad.
here's an image of it.

Now we attempted to go to it but it would always move with the map (much like how the north pointer on the compass remains true to north. despite where you move.)
Anywho, in the direction direction (ish) it was pointing was a "Hole" in the melding.
[thumb]http://oi48.tinypic.com/10za99e.jpg[/thumb]
We also noticed there was, what appeared to be a fracture in the melding. Where two curtains of melding joined bit left a faint line.

Well, it's late at night, and at the time of writing we have nothing better to do.
We're going IN!

How the fuck did they get field of view and your fucking CROSSHAIR mixed up. You have to be so damn stupid to cock that up.
Opinions on the second-most voted feedback on the UserVoice (automatic thumper grouping)?
[quote]Creating groups is kind of painful right now, especially out in the field when things are trying to gnaw your legs off, but helping people with their thumpers comes kind of naturally, unfortunately this help often has to go unrewarded since players aren't in the thumper group. if calling down a thumper created like a small, temporary "public quest" where everyone in the area got a share of the loot based on contribution and not just being in the group, it'd probably be more fun.
i'd also accept less painful group invites, perhaps players wandering into range of an active thumper group automatically get an invite, or the group leader gets an auto request to invite the new player, rather than having to eyeball his name and type out "/invite ... crap what's his name... hold still dammit"

Holding tab should let you right click on a nearby guys name. And invite him from a dropdown that way.

Friend here and wow the melding is like a panic death run when climbing cliffs, sure find some odd things though.
