    What games you feels the should play while making Ember?

    A friend of mine says that Mark should go play Armored Core 2 and 3, as they are basically the pinnacle of the armored core series before it became overtly focused on speed in AC4 and AC4FA.

    New Ember players should be called....Embryos...

    No. Veteran Ember players should be called Flames, long time senior players should be called Infernos. We were once mere embers, but our fire was stoked and given fuel allowing us to grow. Until eventually we spread to become an inferno that consumes the world as it travels.

    Hmmm... we will see.

    Perhaps the absurd 1000 variants of every single resource combined with the decay and permanent item loss.

    What happened to FF?

    Ultimately Firefall was always plagued with an identity crisis. If it was being made a WoW clone from the get go the dynamic event system would of never been designed for it. Dynamic events in a sense were designed to replace questing entirely. Map control was a thing when the map could be lost...

    Pets in mecha

    1) Won't change the required-ness of pets, simply eliminate P2W comments. 2) Mabinogi did this, turning pets into storage options and a combat unit you could micro manage. Some annoying bosses have been killed by players using a large number of pets in a rotation, having them run in to smash the...

    Gliding - Should our Mechs need pads, at all?

    That would suggest the ability for powered flight (that is using our wings and thrusters together continuously) which we will not be having in ember iirc.

    What happened to FF?

    I actually preferred the job boards over having to look for job handout NPCs. The reason being is that job boards ensured that a job was available, even if you had to do a different job to make space on the board for one you wanted to do. The roaming NPCs would regularly get knocked into pits...

    Pets in mecha

    The problem with pets that do things, outside of pets designed for a specific class as the extension of the functions of the class, is that they become required in the eyes of the playerbase. If pets are introduced that pick up items or resources for the player they will be seen as required...

    Ember on Steam?

    Throwing it up on steam is a no brainer. You get large amounts of people due to the wide availability of the platform, and the sales ensure that even more people will come to join the game as well as that there is an uptick of money during the big spending seasons.

    Horizontal Weapon theory:

    The perfect accuracy out of scope capped player skill near the skill floor. The class stopped needing skill and just needed an aimbot*. The spread forced players to learn quick scoping, which is what people were already doing at the time until they discovered they did not need to. While those...

    Pets in mecha

    Only realistic way I could see living pets is if we were going with a "frame" that was not the big bulky omniframe. Or if the omniframe was enclosed so we could have a spot for something like a kitten or puppy to hang out on our dash. Like in Mechwarrior Online where you can stick bobbleheads...

    Horizontal Weapon theory:

    Far as I could tell they had a few of options: 1) Reduce the damage so that a Recon has to put multiple headshots in to kill another recon/engineer/medic which would in turn break the balance of the class entirely and remove its role of being long range assassination support for dealing with...

    Ship Posting

    Stop posting ships? Hmm...... nah.

    What happened to FF?

    The secondary authentication server was shut down. It was discovered on the firefall forums that using the Steam version of the game allows you to bypass it. Oh and do not bother with sending a ticket in. There are no rangers anymore. Any shenanigans caused by bugs will never be fixed. The...

    Horizontal Weapon theory:

    The old pinpoint accuracy was balanced... in scope which slowed the player down and limited their view thus limiting their response time to swift close combat battlefield changes. It was unbalance outside of scope. Why? Because the weapon did not have some super slow unrealistic fire rate. Low...

    Transportation in Ember

    We do have to escort the THMPR back to the nearest refinery on every thumping run. I am of the opinion that /kill should be restricted to that if the system detects that you are stuck, unable to move/falling in place, then it allows you to use the /kill command to get unstuck. I guess its a...

    Horizontal Weapon theory:

    They did that for balancing. Originally the sniper rifles had perfect pin point accuracy in and out of scope. It "looked" like you had massive spread, but you in fact did not. Which resulted (when people realized this after a few days) in people putting a dot in the center on their screen and...

    T.H.M.P.R. art is up

    Perhaps take a modified Big-O approach for the other arm? Basically it charges up this big pile driver/pile bunker to smash into difficult materials to "soften" the dig site a bit so the drill can do its work. This would also server it as a weapon in combat against kaiju class critters if you...
