    Just a question

    Grummz offered to buy FF. FF is owned by the9, the company that sank it There has been zero information from the9 about FF for years Sorry to say but I think it's 99.9% gone.

    Carmen - KAIJU FIELD RESEARCHER Appreciation thread!

    Carmen so far is my favorite female skin. Her clothing and added tools makes it look like she's ready to do more than just read. Having tools attached to her clothing and having a clipboard in hand looks like she's dedicated to getting business done while being totally calm about it all. Her...

    FF BETA BioFrame poison shot

    iirc there were 3 ways to create a poison cloud before FF shut down. The Recluse primary weapon had an alt fire that cost 5 ammo and lobbed a canister which created a poison cloud on impact. The Recluse also had a projectile spell that would bounce around until it either collided with an enemy...

    Randomized Behavior for Non-Aggroed Enemy Mobs and Combat Damage

    I too have been disappointed by "open world games" where critters and enemies (mobs) just stand around lifelessly. SWTOR and LOTRO, in my opinion, truly suffer from this however I also understand why (though I give far less slack to SWTOR since it's a modern game and would have greatly been more...

    Question about the Subscriber rewards

    The newest skin released today is a male skin. The devs are aware of the demand for skin variants...and I can't truly remember if they confirmed that buying a female skin unlocks the male variant (or visa versa). I think I heard buying the female skin unlocks the male variant but don't quote me...

    SHIFTERS SPAWNING DEMO - Feedback thread

    The change to the plasma cannon recoil is a welcomed change however I request the horizontal recoil be removed. The unpredictable horizontal jerk motion gives me a headache. I think the current vertical recoil is fine I wonder if the plasma cannon projectile needs 0.15 increase in gravity. For...

    Slow progress

    Em8er intends to have a static world. Landscape sculpting takes a ton of time. Devs know that procedurally generated content will not come across as natural but a computer can build the groundwork far faster and allow devs to then add their own beauty in areas that need fine tuning and...

    Slow progress

    I'd say your assumption needs an explanation. The short version is all that you see is a demonstration, test, and a request for gameplay feedback. Em8er is still in the early concept and development phase of building a game. Grummz is the only full time dev so things are going to appear slow...

    Em8er Ingame Bonus Events for Infrequent Players

    MMO's typically offer weekend events such as double exp, double resource, double crafting, ect. These events are aimed to boost player participation and perceptions towards a game. Though it is assumed players are able to schedule their IRL calendars around ingame events I propose discussion for...

    FireFall Community Memory Dump

    Was clearing out my Google drive and opened up the Shared tab. Found this video about Serkan and I don't remember it. (I assume that's how the mentioned name is spelled.) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx8Rrpa-R2GzaEhaRHpKcmgzR0U/view?usp=drivesdk

    Community Event Suggestion

    I logged in at 2:04pm and checked a few times. Didn't see more than 2 people online who I believe were afk. People may be more interested if there was more polish to the demo. And there needs to be more users; Em8er's population is still fledgling and only brought ~33 peak players for...

    Physical Rewards!

    As a devil's advocate, printer files at a cost don't make financial sense. The difficulty with printer files is they can't be restricted to people who've paid for them. Files that are downloadable are held to an "honor system" that people won't just post them on some cloud service. Skins and...

    Beyond RGB

    imo, as cool and eye candy-esque glow effects are, eventually there needs to be a hard cap on them. The more things the human eye is tasked to perceive the more difficult it is for the player to comprehend what they are seeing. In a game that is intended to have 100 players on screen plus all...

    Twitter Mech Design General Feedback 5.11.2020

    I'm open to the idea of unique mech designs. Realistically additional limbs would increase energy cost and weight of the mech with few obvious benefits but for a video game why not? A benefit could be reduction in gun recoil since you'll have more stability on the ground. Limbs converted to...

    Community chat with Grummz - May 17 2020 - Notes

    4. Community opinion of Light frame: Would the community prefer the current exosuit style; more of a power armor style from Anthem or Firefall-esque armor I would rather keep the Em8er exosuite for the light frame. As much as I liked Firefall's art direction I think the Em8er suites should cover...

    Twitter Mech Design General Feedback 5.11.2020

    Additional mech images up for discussion: (thanks again @Maven for passing these my way) I do like these designs as they are easy to perceive and are not visually pushing some sort of gimmic except for the red double side shield mech. I still don't understand the fixed shoulder shield panels...

    Chief Chat Thursday, May 7, 2020 11 AM P.D.T.

    I really like the smallest mech frame scale. It just looks right. Maybe because it's so close to Firefall's frames where the pilot wasn't totally dwarfed by the equipment.

    Twitter Mech Design General Feedback 5.11.2020

    If I had to refine and condense all my thoughts into a short blurb this would be it. I prefer clean, non-busy skins like the default skin.
