[QUOTE=Fusnax;38167929]I found those cool tatoos you posted in the Firefall Forums, some butterflies skins, and some weird images of models I cant see, could you tell me how to view those models?
I mean this type of images:
<IMG>
There are thousands of images, and every image has like 3 copies of it with different colors and stuff
Also I uploaded the missing images to the album

But alas the texture you posted, I know what it is, but I cannot say.

[quote=Phobos][B]THE NEW STUFF TO DO[/B]
[B]NIGHT OF THE MELDING!!! (queue spooky noises, Theremin music)[/B]
-See the new dashboard when you log in. See the glorious information! More to come with this nifty tool. (Disabled for now)
-There are now a wide assortment of Halloween collectibles for sale at Luau Larry's!
-The New You now has Halloween masks and hats for the fashionably creepy!
-Warpaints are now available in the Garage. Basic colors and founders unlocks are free to swap around, premium paints have a Red Bean cost. We suggest Pink Flamingo. Be loud, be proud!
-Premium paints are not unlocked for all battleframes. They are purchased when applied to a specific frame. You are paying for a paint swap, and it is possible to pay for a specific premium paint more than once.
-New Decals! Your body is ready!
[B]THE CHOSEN WAR[/B]
-Watchtowers have undergone an overhaul.
-They look quite a bit different (Important!)
-They can be captured by Chosen Forces, denying players areas to spawn and customize their battleframes and looks.
-Players can attack Chosen controlled watchtowers with extreme prejudice, driving out the evil bastards and recapturing the point.
-Chosen Incursions and Drop Pods now dynamically spawn throughout the open world. Find them, crush them, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women (wherever they may be…)!
-Chosen from Drop Pods will wander, creating Incursions, and assault Watchtowers, expanding their influence in the region.
[B]NEW FAUNA FOR YOU TO ENDANGER![/B]
-New Creatures have appeared to challenge human superiority! Punish their insolence!
-The Feral Canine: Not your best friend...
-The Jungle Harrier: In lieu of a jawbone, collect its beak!
-The Brontodon: It has arrived! Seemingly peaceful, until you shoot it.
-The Wyrm: The early bird tried to catch this Wyrm. It failed.
-The Nautilus: We answered your silent pleas for more tentacles!
-The Argonauts: The angry entourage of the Nautilus. Like being attacked by leaping toddlers overdosed on Pixie Sticks!
-Be Adventurous and Explore! So what if you die!
-Our points of interest are beginning to take on new looks as we prepare them for more content. Check them out.
-The world map includes new icons and feedback on watchtower and POI status.
-A new player direction system will sample your levels of activity, and “suggest” nearby encounters.
Multi-tier Queue
-You can now select the tier(s) you wish to queue for PvP. This means a Tier 1 can queue up into Tier 2, and players with both tiers in their garage can find the first available!
-Be warned that heading into a tier 2 match as tier 1 is ill-advised, but totally respected.
[B]NEW ABILITIES![/B]
Assault
-Firecat Burnjets: Hover over your enemies and “enlighten” them with a generous dousing of heat from your feet!
-Tigerclaw Rocket Jump: Launch yourself into the air while making those around you suffer for standing so close!
Biotech
-Recluse Evacuate: The ultimate in self-GTFO! Launch yourself backwards from danger while leaving a poisonous present behind.
-Dragonfly Healing Pillar: Lob healing plasma that erupts in a fountain of “feel-good” after a few seconds.
Dreadnaught
-Rhino Explosive Rounds: Temporarily spit hot fire! Your bullets go boom!
-Mammoth Absorption Bomb: Go immobile and suck up damage to unleash AoE hell on nearby attackers!
Engineer
-Electron Salvo Proxy: Shoot a missile, which turns into a bunch of missiles, that homes in on your reticle to make someone or something completely miserable!
-Bastion Supply Station: Deployable health and ammo to both feel and be important
Recon
-Raptor Supercharge Shot: Make your friends more awesome… by shooting them!
-Nighthawk Decoy: Retreat into stealth, leaving behind a not so friendly doppelganger that attracts attention, then blows it up.
[B]GAMEPLAY CHANGES[/B]
General
Melding Tornado adjustments!
-New SIN Cards and map markers that track movement through the world.
-All participants receive increased xp and loot rewards. A participant is anyone that deals damage to the encounter.
-Kill xp on Tornado objects has been reduced.
-Loot rewards equal to the contents of a mini-shard are awarded to participants. This is in addition to rewards they snatch from the encounter.
-Aranhas and Hissers will scale walls, cliffs, mountains, your bedroom window, etc. Nowhere to hide now!
-You cannot call down Thumpers in hostile Chosen controlled areas.
-Overland spawns are more likely to be clustered with creatures of the same kind.
-Health reduced on smaller creatures.
-Health reduced on various Chosen.
-UI has been improved when dealing with encounters. You should now see SIN Cards for attack, defend, and interact targets. They look cool!
-Calldown menu (Press C) has been organized by item type.
-Item and health pick-ups make cooler sounds!
-Reduced cooldown on Tiki Torch. Dance the night away!
-Reduced LGV collision damage. Reckless driving now encouraged.
-Reduced vehicle explosion damage and radius to creatures. It’ll still blow the driver up real good!
-Beards for Sale in the New You. Only for males, as much as you may wish otherwise.
Recon
-Recon Sniper rifle has been globally replaced by the Charge Sniper Rifle. Remaining scoped increases damage of the next shot (watch the green meter in scope). It also has a much higher rate of fire, albeit at the cost of damage.
-Execute Shot will cause AoE damage to surrounding enemies when used on enemy creatures.
-SIN Beacon has added snare and increased damage to targets in deployable radius. Added for increased PvE viability.
-SIN Scramble can turn creatures against each other.
Dreadnaught
-Heavy Armor must now absorb 250 damage (before 90% reduction) in stage 1 before entering stage 2. Stage 1 time increased to 2 seconds. Should prevent instant stage 2 from automatic weapons.
-Tier 1 Reactive Plating now properly gives correct stats. They are half the value of the Tier 2 version: 25 HP, .75 Def, +1.5 Regen.
-Repulsor Blast deals increased damage to creatures.
-Teleport Shot deals damage to creature targets.
Assault
-Bombs Away changed: fires a volley of bombs that use your reticle to target. More bombs, but less damage.
Engineer
-EMP Grenade travels faster, can be detonated faster, and now deals damage over time to creatures caught in its radius.
[B]BUG FIXES[/B]
-Reduced Object Flicker
-Game server performance improvements.
-Made adjustments to squad matchmaking so tier 1 matches are not created that drag tier 2 only players in. You should no longer end up as some random guy with an assault pack that can’t do anything.
-LGV uphill speed has been improved.
-Memory Optimizations.
[B]KNOWN ISSUES[/B]
-Upon completing the mission “Cargo Hunt” you will need to log off for at least a few minutes before mission progress can resume. We are looking into a solution for this.
-Replays from previous builds may not play back correctly.

Coool I might give this patch a try.
[QUOTE=lapsus_;38218725]Coool I might give this patch a try.[/QUOTE]
You must try it, I just downloaded it, and chosens taking over buildings got improved, and new mobs and melding went back north of thump dump
So far i found a mammoth-like thing, some rabid hyenas or something, some giant parrots, a snake like creature that was dug underground, a nautilus and some of those new little critters, argnauts. What did I miss?
It is possible to obtain XP in pve in a more fun way than thumping now.
Awesome update.
I have 0 beta key to give. Just message me your email.

Money well spent :V
I've been playing this so much since the latest patch. The game is actually really fun for me now. For some reason I haven't been able to change my Rhino frame at all since the patch, so I started playing Assault for a while and I unlocked the Firebat frame. Burn Jets is such a fucking cool ability and it's pretty useful for travelling over large gaps as well.
[editline]30th October 2012[/editline]
I've had some pretty intense encounters with the Chosen so far. At point, I was calling down one of those uplinks by myself (or so I thought) and I was just waiting around. I was starting to think nothing was going to happen but after a minute I heard the whoosh of a drop pod above me and it very nearly landed on me. I started retreating just as another drop pod came down right on top of me and I was absolutely ganked.
Then today I went to take back a watchtower by myself that happened to be right next to a warbringer. Nearly died several times, first clearing out the tower, then having reinforcements run over from the warbringer and then finally during the final 30 seconds of holding the tower, three drop pods landed right next to it and dropped a boat load of chosen off.
After I cleared the area I went over to the warbringer and almost disappointingly I soloed it with relative ease. The only reason I could do this I think was because the turrets don't shoot at you anymore.
I guess I'll have to take down as many as I can before they become too hard to solo again.
I played in Alpha and was like, well this is bad.
Came back a couple of days ago and the improvements are amazing, still some delay but I can see it becoming a great game.
[quote=Patch Notes for v0.5.1478][B]Gameplay Changes[/B]
Removed momentum on strafing.
-This was implemented in an unfinished state. It will be returning after more tuning.
Chosen Incursions will now despawn after 1.5 hours.
-This is a temporary fix for objects appearing inside terrain and props.
-We need more development time in order to put in the proper fix that will detect available space.
[B]Bug Fixes[/B]
Fixed an issue where the dashboard would not always appear on login.
-Oh. I guess dashboard is in now. Check it out. (, key)
Fixed some AI pathing issues to make things behave better.
Fixed a problem where warpaints would save and charge you Red Beans when exiting the Garage or New You.
-You can now purchase premium warpaints again, for the first time! w00t!
Fixed an issue where you couldn't remove decals.
People should no longer fly around the world as if they are on an LGV when they aren't. Silly people.
Downgrading the recommended version of AMD GPU drivers to 12.6.
Fixed a server-side crash.
Fixed an issue where matchmaker was not using player ratings properly resulting in poor matches.[/quote]
[url]http://www.gamersbook.com/scene/beta/firefall[/url] follow instructions, get a cool warpaint!
Any tips on how to get out of the loading screen? I'm stuck at 100% all the time and I tried all of the things suggest in the Firefall forums and nothing helped, updated my drivers, ran as admin, used windowed mode, downloaded and used the Catalyst and some other things I can't remember.
I'm getting frustrated.
Maybe you're FireWall (huehuehue) is blocking it? I remember having an issue where it would go to the "Armies of The Accord" screen and take me back to the login page. It was because my Firewall was blocking it. Give it a try.
Pumpkin head master race. I would buy the skeleton mask but I'm starting to think maybe they should rethink the red bean prices on certain items.
I prefer the goalie.
Cheap and serious.
Hmm, how often are beta requestees accepted into the game? Saw this game a while ago but only just got around to signing up :v:
I received an email with a beta key a while ago, had no idea this game existed :v
Anyone want the key?
It's gone.

Some wait over a year, you must visit forums regularly to count as as active user. Players already in the beta get 2 invite so give out during invite waves. So either you get lucky or someone gives a key to you here.

I don't even remember singing up for a key.
I signed up in late 2010 and completely forgot about it until around March this year when I finally got accepted
Well, played for about 5 hours, feels to me like the best parts of Borderlands and Global Agenda duc-taped together. Love it!
My character is called Firazenics, in case you see me around (Won't be online this weekend though)
