[Megathread] Firefall

[monostat]

Noob question. How am I supposed to know that I have a key to give to someone else? Is there going to be an email or any kind of notification?

https://beta.firefallthegame.com/invites Should be getting the next wave of invites when the new patch comes out.

Uh oh Titan. Watch out...

Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on this reference.
That and the titan being a code name for a larger mmo.
Predicted to be a sci fi fps mmo.
By an unknown company with no funding to make a f2p game.
Conveniently starting in 2005, when titan was rumoured to be in the works.
With a very blizzardesque artwork style and logo.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM CONSPIRACY!

Hey guys, if any one has a beta key it'd be awesome if you could send it my way. The game looks unique and very enticing. It has dynamic questing which is in guild wars. Yet guild wars 2 makes you pay to experience the beta weekends. Firefall would be a great way to experience dynamic questing and this MMO FPS in general. Very excited to say the least. PM me and i'll send you my email

Got invited, played a bit of it...damn finals keeping me from immersing more.Game has potential, thought is still way to rough around edges and needs quite a bit of polishing.

The game is cute, I understand why it's f2p but it looks fun for being it.
To people in beta, does the game seem far from being released?
Anyone got info how micro transactions will work? I just facepalm over p2win and payorgrind.

How does pvp work really? Is it just queue and get into a group and can you level up just through pvp?

It is very clean for a beta. If I'm not wrong they are going to ease into live. Instead of cutting beta at some point and then release couple of weeks later, they will invite more people as we proceed and at some point they just call it a released game.

They have said it will only be exotic and fun stuff that you can buy. No pay2win is what they are advertising.

Yup there are stations around cities that you go to and queue for PvP. I don't know if you can level through PvP only or how leveling is going to work at release for that matter. But I have to say I like the PvP much more than other FPS games I've played. Being able to change your role at any time is quite interesting.

So are they planning to never wipe characters?

Just gave it a look and it seems pretty sweet so signed up to their site.

Right now you can level up through PvP, it gives 3k to like 1.5k depending on how you perform, but when your talking about 15-70exp per kill in the open it's viable. They also give raw materials and since you can craft almost all your gear while you level then gearing is not a problem either. Once the new no level leveling system goes into place you will be able to buy what Nano prints you want with exp so I would imagine leveling through PvP will be just as viable as it is now. We will find out for sure soon.

Yes they said they will have a full wipe before launch

[Mortallus]

I posted once and got an invite.

I've played the beta, it's quite the boring FPS MMO. It's not much fun in any respect, the UI isn't very user friendly (You have to squint a lot of the times, obscure information, etc), the game play is very dull, no matter which was you look at it. But I do enjoy the fact they support Third-Person mode, and how good the game looks. Just not very addicting. If I get a key I'll probably give it away though.

/cast revive

Apparently they've released a new patch, with the following changes:

"based on your feedback, we've made extensive changes to Firefall."

-No more progress wipes! Your time spent will always be worth something. We're now saving all XP earned.
-All new progression! Play through increasingly rewarding technology trees. Pick a path and become the Battleframe pilot you want to be.
-New abilities! Every Battleframe has been updated with new abilities and new stats.
-Combat Improvements! Core combat has undergone many tweaks and improvements. Skill now has a much larger role in your performance.
-Better crafting! All resources have variable quality levels, which affect the quality of the gear you craft. Find the best material to make the best stuff!
-Bigger world! We've opened up some previously closed areas of New Eden. We've also added some new missions and POIs.
...And much, much more!

Sound interesting, I haven't been able to download / test it yet but it seems they've changed a lot.

I'll patch my client and tell you how it goes! If the game play really was changed, than I'll probably let you know it's super duper fun or just really bland like it was before. *Patching*

EDIT: 4.5 GB of content needs to be patched, I'll get to it as soon as possible. Holy carp, that's a lot of splash.

Any mention on a sales model for this game? Also if anyone has a spare beta key id love one

I believe it's a beta invite only system, but once the invites get so wide spread (And have servers to handle it), the game will become free to play.
