[QUOTE=Dominic0904;38370714]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.[/QUOTE]

My firewall wasn't blocking it and even turned off and on the security measures to Firefall and it didn't work so I tried to download Microsoft Security Essentials and just turn off the old one, now it's working.

I'm getting lots of bugs, quests not showing or just deleting themselves then appearing later and stuf like that but so far it is enjoyable.

I'm begging to like playing my recon more on PvE than in PvP.
I don't know why.
anyways the resonating bolt is fucking awesome since this patch.

And don't forget the SIN scrambler.
You can make the tornado push down it's shards, same way it would send players flying.
Or shooting the chosen dropship, causing the chosen to destroy it.

[Fyhlen]

It is unfortunate that I'll be away from my desktop this weekend. Maybe I'll be able to play in a few weeks, and/or whenever my beta request is approved.

I need to start playing this again though, patching at the moment, but its going to take hoooours

[gbtygfvyg]

I have no idea what I'm doing. Halp. I completed those tutorial quest thingies. What do after?

Also after playing for a few hours I can honestly say the pve in this game is lackluster as hell.

[krail]

there's another fun mission at the trans hub

[gbtygfvyg]

That mission where you have to travel across the map at least 9 seperate times. Jesus fucking christ. I'm all for exploration but when you force the player to travel from one side of the map to the other and then right after tell them to go to an area that was RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THEY WERE JUST AT, that shit is just ridiculous.

You can activate them whenever you want, in any order.

[Greeneyes]

I've had a beta invite for ages but never got round to downloading.

Suddenly more facepunchers want to play.
