    Player's Mek Destroyed Event

    Question during Chief Chat: When a player is defeated does their mech explode and disappear? Or does it become a dynamic repair or keep safe event? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1219396175 02h12m35s Answer: Currently the mek explodes and disappears. The player is then ejected and can run around...

    New World feedback thread

    I'm on the fence about buying into New World. Aside from the time commitment for MMOs, New World does not seem to have, from the videos I've watched, enough variety in the fantasy world. It was an issue I had with Guild Wars 2; once you've completed one or two zones you've seen most enemy types...

    Lecture About MMO Success Strategy

    Echoes a lot of what Grummz has mentioned during Chief chats. Sometimes it takes someone to actually say it to realize what we may have already known.

    New image feedback

    Overall I like the skin and it may look best in-game. My instant issues with the skin is the thighs dwarf the torso and calves. The ankles are dainty. Protection of the pelvis is lacking. I dislike heels. ...a crazy request here but can we get matching non-heel shoes for all the skins? If we...

    New Em-8er Build - Unreal Engine 5 test!

    Seems in this UE5 port build the pilot Right arm skeleton needs to be retargeted or something. The arm holds this excess elbow bend when standing, walking, and sprinting.

    THUMPING RETURNS! First iteration - Feedback

    Glider camera shake intensity at moderate to extreme speed is irritating to the eyes. The twitching side to side is so fast and creates a motion blur which makes me feel compelled to look away. I feel like my eyes are unable to focus on an orientation landmark and are briefly crossing trying to...

    Freya and Wrenga

    If you want the Freya Wrenga skin you'll need to buy it separately because that is a previous month's sub skin. The skin will be rotationally available once per year at $34.95 unless otherwise displayed (events and such). :You can buy it here: It is possible to win raffles during the Discord...

    https://gatestrider.one/packcompare The $1 pack does not come with the bike. You need to upgrade the dollar pack to get the bike. "UPGRADE YOUR PACK! M3 Backers can upgrade their pack and receive a free Python Bike Skin." The "Freya & Wrenga" skin is only available as a purchase (includes both...

    The cost of war challenge event / mission.

    This scenario of running out of resources may naturally play out while player bases are being attacked. I anticipate while player bases are being damaged their resources are being used for repairs and other costs which over time will naturally run out leading to loss of player bases and other...

    Copa going away?

    I believe this is (1) a short term marketing strategy, (2) a short term development strategy. Grummz wants to show new stuff but he also wants the Kickstarter to be a huge success. If he shows his whole hand before the Kickstarter the presentation will come across as old news and less hype...

    Em8ER Merch! Which would you rather see?

    I'm currently not interested. A t-shirt for example would be like buying a national flag of a nation I don't know. Em8er has not yet made the impact on me to buy merch. Amiibo-esque figures, T-shirts, something that I can present to people as something I'm interested in or remind me of a...

    How Will Light Frames Compete As Damage Dealers Compared To Heavy Frames?

    Will Heavy meks simply out perform the smaller frames in every category except in mobility? What's the point of using Light meks as a damage dealer when a Heavy will always have higher damage output? Similarly what is the benefit of using a Light mek as a "healer". Would a Heavy mek have...

    GLIDER TUNING BUILD phase 2 ("New Copa" UE 4) - feedback thread

    :Glider Feedback: Glider base horizontal speed is too fast, maybe unchanged from previous build. The landscape spance just feels so much smaller and not dangerous or difficult to traverse as soon as gliders are engaged. Glider downward acceleration is great. It feels like the correct...

    PvE games?

    Remnant from the Ashes: third person, procedurally generated, gun focused, souls like dungeons and bosses. Kingdoms of Amalur: essentially a singleplayer downscaled WoW environment with a combat twist. *edit* Risk of Rain, maybe? I chose not to buy it for some reason.

    GLIDER TUNING BUILD phase 1 - feedback thread

    I believe the glider camera is good. I will unfortunately express my dissatisfaction with the increased speed of the gliders. I've made the statement in the past how speed and player freedom affects the landscape. Gliders are now so fast the size of the landscape now feels small and the hills...

    What MMO's are you looking forward to?

    Star Citizen & Em8er are the only mmo's I've been following...for years even. I followed New World (amazon's mmo) for a short while but it looks like another GW2 world which I talk about later. Crowfall was another game I followed because at the time I was interested in PvP but the Time to...

    Giving Every Frame an Ult. Bad idea? Alternative options?

    I am not opposed to ultimate abilities but I am not a fan of them. Players tend to use ultimate abilities as a crutch to solve their problems or as their main means of combat engagement. Ultimates tend to be so affective that they near singlehandedly "turn the tables" or "turn the tides" without...

    Chief Chat and New "Tsihu Fight Back" Demo Build drops this Friday 2 pm P.D.T. March 19th, 2021!

    actually need to press Tab twice to get from the user field to the password field. I assume the first Tab input selects the Password Text and the second tab selects the Password field. That's how it works for me on W10 anyway

    Chief Chat and New "Tsihu Fight Back" Demo Build drops this Friday 2 pm P.D.T. March 19th, 2021!

    The demo feels drastically different now that there are enemies fighting back. I enjoyed my solo-play time for what is currently available but struggled to enjoy 30+ player hectic combat environment. During the new demo launch the gameplay was truly hectic. Bullets were flying in every...
