If anyone wants to do some exploring feel free to add me ingame: "Kelazun".
I shall provide with a portable glider pad for maximum exploration.
[QUOTE=Kaelazun;36078103]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]
From what they've said it'll be community-wide effort, with lower levels participating by collecting resources, while others attacking dangerous areas, et cetera tanquam.
this game is wonderful

[QUOTE=imadaman;36091143]Opinions on the second-most voted feedback on the UserVoice (automatic thumper grouping)?[/QUOTE]
Automatic invites are stupid. Don't do that.
However, some sort of 'public quest' as it states could be nice. They'd have to watch out with determining the contributing factor, though, as to make sure Medics would also get contributed for healing people that are helping, for example.
They also need to make sure to think of Recons, who would usually pick a spot far away, and would possibly take out enemies further away from the thumper, such as the exploding ones, or maybe a Chosen wandering off of his patrol.
But altogether I think that would be a good idea. It would encourage people to help each other without having to go through making squads. If I'm playing Recon I usually pick a spot somewhere and snipe away enemies in the distance where people are thumping, and I would imagine there are more people helping each other without being in a squad.
However, I believe it also should allow the option of making thumping 'private'. Although I realize you can't force people not to kill enemies that are after a thumper. If they could think of some way to do that, that would also allow people who'd rather solo thumpers to, well, solo, without having to share the resources and without the help of people nearby.

They need to make the dances for female characters better, to something like that.

977 -894 is also a neat thump location(on a roof)
A single forecefield is enough to protect the thumper from locals.
Been meaning to try this game out, but I don't know the current situation and I'm really bad at looking at data, especially when old data is treated as if it is still good (I'm looking at you, OP). Is it released? Is it in Open Beta? Is it a closed beta where invites are nigh impossible to get? Is there anything besides PvP here?

Closed beta-invite only and already invited people can invite other people if they have enough invites to invite invitable people. There's PvP and PvE.
So I heard that they've pre-planned all the content and when they release the last one, the "world ends?"
anyone care to explain this.

okay, I guess it's invite based then

Use the scan hammer in the areas north of copacobana, You need to research the glider pads.

Not neceserally north, just look everywhere.

I think if they wanted to end the world, they would probably do it as the final update just before they were planning on shutting down the game, if they plan on doing that of course.
Their staged content would make for a perfect fit for it to, as they like players to have an effect on the game world, they could make the melding speed up its rate at which it consumes the world. The higher tier characters push back the melding as best they can, the lower tiers evacuate civilians and supplies from the last safe spots. Eventually the melding consumes the last remnants of civilization and they'd be able to shut down the servers.
That'd be a lot of effort to go to though for a game you're shutting down, but that's how I imagine they'd do it.
But I don't want all the silly NPCS who can't take an aranhas worker alone to die :(
[QUOTE=Kaelazun;36101826]Not neceserally north, just look everywhere.[/QUOTE]
I only say north because it's relatively flat over there so getting a thumper down is easy and everyone else heads over there so a friendly chappie with a sentry gun may walk by to help you out.
Got a bit bored of this game, it's still kinda empty, not alot to do.
I'm gonna wait untill the next content patch gets out.

Agreed. I hate to take a break, but with only a small area and 2 things to do, it gets old very quickly.
"True shooter MMO"
Dear god, this is going to be repeatedly compared to Planetside 2 and while I will play the shit out of both and both are free to play there is probably goign to be rivalry between the two.
Planetside 2 Is owned by SoE, and SoE has the resources, manpower and loyalty to win any competition they may have.

They're still different games so hopefully nothing will happen between them.
Also your post made me think Planetside 2 was already released, damn it.
Comparing FireFall to Planetside 2 is worse than comparing Prototype to InFamous
I got an email from Hi-rez studios (makers of tribes: ascend) asking me to fill in a survey, with suggestions and all that jazz. For some reason I thought it was for FireFall...
Those devs are gonna be very confused if they read my entry :v:
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36139018]Comparing FireFall to Planetside 2 is worse than comparing Prototype to InFamous[/QUOTE]
Yet it still happened and will happen.
Just like people compare tribes ascend to halo, Call of Duty to Medal of Honour, and supreme commander to starcraft.
People still take Extra Credits seriously?

Yes I have their t-shirt, DVDs and a car with their logo. Also I like to discuss firefall related stuff in a firefall thread. Or throw in random related pictures.

He died as he lived, stuck inside the ground.
That looks like shit. No offense.
