Em-8er Chief Chat and Livestream!: 3 PM P.D.T. Thursday July 11th, 2019

[Ronyn]

Greetings Reapers!

Join us today for a Chief Chat! Grummz will be there to talk about Em-8er, and we will be raffling off various backer packs. Free stuff!

Oh but that's not the big news. The real scoop here folks is that this very weekend, the Multi-player movement demo will be available for download! AW YEAH! What's better than jumping, jet packing and running around alone? Doing it with friends, family and fantastic community members! So get yourselves ready for some group activity!

If you have any questions you would like to post before hand, do so right here in this thread!

- Ronyn

From @Wyntyr : Will backers get a copy of the other demos and/or mockup since there will be an Em-8ER server?

Great question!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CHIEF CHAT/STREAM!!

 

[Torgue_Joey]

I HAVE QUESTIONS!


EXPLOSION?!

 

[Thorp]

Question: Will healing beams or other leash abilities be stackable? For example: Will 2 medics be able to heal beam the same target at the same time?

Gilder Pads: it would be neat if, like mech aesthetic customization able to swap shoulder pads and helmet, that glider pad particle effects could be customized too. Recalling to Firefall the glider pads would give special wings and that was it. For Em8er it would be cool to get the wings and additional custimzations such as leaving a trail of flame or bubbles or whatever (floating hearts during valentine events).

 

[Chizi]

Question 1: In firefall, the founders had a permanent xp buff for themselves and the teammates, while I don't know the details of how progressions might work, are there plans to implement perks like that for the founders in em8er as well?

Question 2: While I know the states of the development is still pretty early, but in terms of monetization that doesn't involve loot boxes and subscription fees, will we be expecting periodic cosmetic content drops + QoL items that players could purchase like how warframe/Digital Extreme do with their Prime Access? If so, would we be looking at potentially new weapon/frames drops being released this way?

Question 3: Would our friends needs to be certain level of the current backer project to be able to access this new multiplayer demo or hopefully they'd only need to simply register an account on em8er.com?

 

[Chizi]

Question 4: What are some of the guild/clan advantages we can expect besides being able to talk to a group of friends? Resource advantage? Certain guild/clan exclusive progression mechanics? Unique weaponry/ability mods?

 

[Faeryl]

Question 3: Would our friends needs to be certain level of the current backer project to be able to access this new multiplayer demo or hopefully they'd only need to simply register an account on em8er.com?

1 and 2 are good questions!! I'll leave those for the Chief Chat.
Howver, this one I can answer now:


To access the test build demos OR the Playable Mockup (the last test build demo before the Kickstarter), folks need to be at the Deepscanner ($35 USD M3 pack) or Forerunner ($35 USD Newcomer pack) tiers.

 

[EvilKitten]

Given that there is no leveling in Em-8er I don't see how XP would really serve a function. Em-8er is intended to be a skill based game so I would personally prefer not to see special treatment given to anyone, even early backers.

Also there are intended to only ever be 3 frames. And the store is intended to be cosmetic only, so no new frames or weapons in the store, but definitely weapon and frame skins.

 

[Nausical]

Can we get a link to the stream?
