Omniframe Hard Driver Mode - NEW art

@Astro Your trust shall be rewarded.

At the end of the day such concerns come with the territory. If something changes based on feedback some will accuse the team of yielding to complaints. Which could potentially incite them to complain more. Alternatively if nothing ever changed based on feedback some would accuse the team of never listening to the community. Which could potentially incite people to feel ignored. Since neither road is devoid of accusers it is best to simply ignore the accusations.

As it was once said. "no matter how far you push the envelope, it's still stationary"

Fair enough. Although, I'd like to think the constant overhauls of Firefall's systems were because of constant complaints about them on the forums, and Red5 listening to too much feedback from the community and not sticking to their guns. They decided to ignore the accusations of doing too many overhauls, and they kept doing overhaul after overhaul and we all see where that got Firefall. In the end, the envelope and everything around it went up in flames

The madness has a beginning, so let's be conscious of that, is the point I'm trying to make. (Albeit this is a ridiculously minuscule example, as it has 0 affect on the gameplay and is only a visionary change).

Just raising my little red flag, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

That is a common sentiment though the true issue was elsewhere.

Nothing wrong with it at all.

To Grummz and all of the Ember team. That looks awesome guys, I love it! Great job with the design and listening to the community. I feel tears coming to my eyes, but I am at work and crying here would just make me look silly (kind of like the design with the exposed pilot )
But seriously great job, can't wait to show this to my friends!

The only minor issue I had with the first design was the "Two heads". If it was without that and the shoulders were on the pilots shoulders it would have worked and felt more exo-skeleton and less mech. Fully encosed it feels like we are a robot/mech pilot.

Either works for me in the end.

Question; If I choose the Hard Driver option is it only MY model that changes from my perspective? Is it global, other players see my choice? Does it change everyone's appearance based on my choice so they are all either open or covered?

or have it set to appear (somehow, fx wise) automatically if you are in combat mode and de-rez while not in combat.

personally id use this option

 

[NitroMidgets]

I neither agree nor disagree with this move. I view it like I do Despair's hint refusals.

Thanks for caring enough to speak up. The passion and vigilance of this community is a powerful thing.

frakin love it!

Awesome work again, Ember team.

Now can we have the spiddly sticks removed from the open frame design and replaced with the gloves please. It just looks awkward when you go to the open frame design and suddenly sprout two sticks attached to the arms

Just kidding (then again maybe not).

Thanks for being awesome

good work on thsi really liek it.

question - would it be possibel to have... smaller omniframe? One taht looks more like exoskeleton, than mecha? I guess soemthign similar to what girl on Ember orginal art wear(mayeb with more armor overall)?

 

[Bl4ckhunter]

Well now the head makes sense, +1, i like that you can decide what to pick based on if you're "feeling mecha" or not that particular day,
ps, do the ominframe hands have fingers or those are just weapon mounts? I'd think that they're closed fists but i can't really tell for sure by that image

 

[BananMen8]

much better, it's good if you're giving us an opportunity xd

How 'bout a no?

WHAT IS THIS? BURGER KING?
WHERE YOU CAN HAVE IT YOUR WAY?

Just because they made and "closed" torso option to make both side happy, we can't just go "want this, make that, do this".

NO TO EXOSKELETON!
YES TO CLAPTRAP STYLED OMNIFRAME!

That being as a game setting is actually better idea than just making it as a costumizable thing.

To that control stick, i prefer it as is, or make it a holo like control stick. On the other hand, a control glove is a nice thing too.
Probably be customisable during the character creation.

I like it so much I had issues with how open it is makes sense when talking to people but if your in combat ehhhh. But with the hard driver on that fixes the issue I been having I also like how you plan on having an auto feature. Though don't like the idea of it just rezing in and rezing out I think there should be some animation, though that is polish which is not needed till the game is about to go full release which is far from now.

Simple for now later add polished. that is what I say

 

[Fac3man]

:-D..great idea and well done..will keep it enabled most the time

 

[NORBI]

sorry my old firefall friends, i no like the omniframe, i prefer old firefall class, dread, asault,medic,recon..., this concept not for me is a Overwatch diva copy.

 

[Sud Monkey]

This being an option to enable/disable, will everyone else around you see if you have chosen the open or closed style or only yourself?
