[Megathread] Firefall

[RoninaThorstone]

Well thumping is still the go to activity for resources for crafting, but at this point the crafting is wide open so it will occupy much of your time. In the future it will be specialized so you can focus on other activities. With that being said, there are ARES missions, a couple of quests, new types of invasions, tornadoes and porting into the melding for an insane kamikaze resource gathering, etc

And coming down the pipe is instances, new world bosses (we have 2 right now), new world events, and new frame types.

The crafting UI right now is pretty unpolished but we have one coming that's really good.

I love the game so far and can only see positive things about it. Think ill have to buy that mobile wing thing. Its cool to use that as an assault which I play as my main and use the boost to fly fast and long

Grab a firecat for double dash (firecat one applies a dot) if you like high movement.

Don't know. I expected significant improvements before the Open beta. To me , the patch(s), pre open beta, would have to bring, Story quests/missions, easier traveling around the map, a few new types of events (Escort, Glider racing, Gladiator styled arena, where you would be pitted against some sort of overgrown mutant, the options are limitless) and a bigger playground. Also, in one of these patches they need to make it so Thumping isn't the only correct thing to do in game. It feels that way, when im moving around the map, and people ignore Chosen, Tornadoes etc unless they need to thump in those locations.

I'm trying to see it this way if we ignore dates: Neverwinter will become open beta soon, and it feels like a nearly finished game, or very close to it. Sure there is feedback to be given, some stuff can change. But mostly it feels like its almost there. FireFall does not, by any stretch of the imagination. And all we MMO "vets" know the good or the damage the word of mouth can do to a game. Sure theres a beta tag in the name. But most people will ignore it. As usual.

Not really trying to start a flame war or anything btw, can't always make positive posts about a game, else it doesnt improve where it is wrong. Going to take these concerns over to the official forums.

Edit: several typos

I think you are right.

I am hoping the next two milestones bring just that. (hoping).

Hence all the panic gifs.

When does this game actually go into Open Beta?

[Edge-]

The 9th of July.

[Flaks]

The 9th of July.

Thread title makes it sound like it's already in open beta...

[Deleted]

I thought the same when I noticed the change of title and went and read when that happened. But since it's a couple of months before it happens it's kind of strange they changed the title now :P

You can blame me for that. I suggested that the fact that it is entering open beta on july 9th should be added to the megathread. I meant like, in the first giant post of info. Sj handles updating it since that guy hasn't.

Clarified open beta date in the title so all should be good now.

So i started playing again but i have one major problem

it lags! and it lags a lot i have no idea why i lags so much.. before i quit playing (half a year ago) i had no problems with the game what so ever was running fine and all.. but now i get lag spikes all the time.. i run max 1 min without lag if i'm lucky..

It's like.. every time something new happens or when i'm battling it just suddenly starts lagging and maybe freeze for a couple of seconds, then it runs smooth for half a min to a min and lags again..

anyone have any idea why this happens or a solution to it ?

I had to update my nividia driver after .6 to fix my rubber banding.

Might be your issue.

my Nvidia driver is up to date :/ my brother have the same problem and he lives like 20 miles away

not sure if it's because i live in EU and the servers is NA or something? but doesn't make any sense why i had no problems before i updated to .6

It sort of does though.

.6 brought a LOT of graphical updates. You might just have to lower your settings (they would still probably be higher than .5 was)

well.. it's not like my computer can't handle the high graphic.. still have to find a game where i have problems running on high graphics .. but i will just try it out

else maybe re installing the game could work..

I have problems on and off. It used to be almost unplayable for me. I have to go down to the lowest settings just to get good performance and even then sometimes it rubber bands a session. The difference btw highest settings and lowest aren't really that drastic tbh.

The 9th of July.

But they have so much to add still!

That's kind of scary. When can we move the Melding?

Depends on what you mean, we've been able to move the melding for like 6 months now at that one point north of copacabana. Do you mean unlock the new zone? That was just added in .6 and we aren't going to be able to unlock it until open beta from the sounds of it. And it will probably be through a world event involving drop ship, going into the melding, and a lot of dying.

Yes, I mean the new zone.

"That one point in that one place" doesn't give much new-awesome-shiny!
