FireFall fan here started at the Closed Beta, loved it so much I bought the USD100 founder pack. Lost the beanie now though
Played through multiple changes. New resource, yep, mined a node with a newbie and my sniper using the smg secondary weapon.
Even when they nerfed the crafting system I kept playing. Nothing like a Bastion with 8 turrets. Blasting bugs was my thing. Maxxed out all the frames and kept playing, had some cool online buds from Canada and other places on the other side of the world. Helped a guy with his depression ( a condition that I also deal with )
Things I missed before FireFall went away:
Complex crafting system, if you can't grok it then buy from those that can using the in game trading system, that's what it's for.
Resource quality levels: Not just generic X but better X. Did get a bit frustrating for a casual player but I found enough 80% nodes to keep my friends and I geared up.
Equipment degradation, this might be controversial but having gear wear out keeps the in game resource mill churning. A good thing. Again if you can't hack it then use the in game trading system to buy new gear. Use real money to get in game coins. It got to the point where I had several milllion in game coins and nothing to do with them but that wasn't the point. I enjoyed interacting with others and helping the noobs, I think I was in an game ranger at some point.
Anyhow, I miss FF and all the lovely complex interactions that went with it.
From what I can see Em8er seems to be going the Hentai route, not into that. I would like to have a plain character without abs, balding hair, male preferably, short and nondescript and still kick ass.
Flashy graphics and voluptuous characters doesn't make a game I want to play. I want complexity and depth.
Just my thoughts.
