I would like to propose and request support for a Companion App Em8er will have crafting timers Player bases are always under threat of attack The Em8er world is under a constant push & pull A Companion app could give players a connection the world of Em8er while logged out. First and...

I would rather see things that do not completely remove the players ability to control their character or have vision. A lot of games have "stun" abilities which completely stop the player's character from all actions until the stun is removed. I absolutely despise losing full control of...

I have nostalgia for the Lego Rock Raiders set. I have a few of the set pieces and the PC game. Seeing the Em8er THMPR walk around with a giant drill greatly reminds me of the Rock Raiders set. Since I have time lately I decided what the hey and tried my best at putting my thought into a digital...

Question: what thoughts are there about allowing players to "refine" ore to improve the quality. Follow up question: has there been a confirmation about what tools players will have to tell them in advance what nearby resource qualities are?

Certainly Star Citizen is a ways away but on the other hand Squadron 42 could be much farther along than it seems. Citizen Con is rumored to be in LA this year; Star Citizen's first event was in LA and their main office is in LA. It could mean they've got a release date to announce for 42. I...

I briefly played with this new build. I greatly dislike the plasma cannon reticle recoil. All in all the plasma cannon doesn't fire fast enough to suffer from recoil so the reticle recoil shift doesn't make sense. The missiles and missile trails could be a bit larger. They just kinda disappear...

Video game features I dislike: RNG crafting and RNG rewards Firefall Beta and SWTOR drove me up the wall on this. Firefall beta had crafting blueprints that would produce items with random within range stats. For example a result of crafting a medic gun could be within the range of 150 hp/s to...

Em8er is in the very early stages of development; pre-kickstarter, pre-pre-pre just about everything. Grummz is currently the only full time dev while others are part time. There's still quite some time before Em8er has enough content to feasible launch a Kickstarter campaign. You can view...

I don't recall anybody claiming Em8er is FreeToPlay; it's definitely BuyToPlay. Other games have demonstrated BuyToPlay does work. Guild Wars 2 for example is a BuyToPlay. A multitude of MMOs also have a pseudo BuyToPlay model where they are FreeToPlay but players need to buy (or earn) the...

Thumpers in Firefall were categorized on their difficulty. Higher difficulty Thumpers would garner greater mining rewards but also "aggravate" the more ferocious wildlife. The Thumper categories were solid in that players could dictate the difficulty. However after awhile repetition can set in...

...I'm fairly certain that the current development plan for thumper calldowns in Em8er is an escort mission. Call the thumper mech down, keep the mech alive, escort it back to base to deposit. ...was it confirmed otherwise? Players won't be able to "just send it back into space" like we did in...

Grummz asked the9 to buy the rights back but they refused. Firefall unfortunately is not coming back.

Only cosmetic items can be purchased in the future Em8er game store. There may be exp boosters but there will be no endgame gear to buy; only skins. There is no gameplay difference. Subscribing merely rewards the subscriber with that month's skin and access to dev PDFs that contain the growing...

There's also a visual aid to help compare backer packs http://gatestrider.one/packcompare After selecting the packs to compare there is a swap arrow button and it will highlight their differences

Time is your ally right now. These rewards will be available right up until the Kickstarter which won't happen until this forum has 20,000 members and the game has more to show. You have a couple months to think. (I don't have any tattoos but I did this for Omni Ace). Treat the decision as if...

How DLC will be distributed has not been set in stone yet and obviously won't have a final say until the game is released. Grummz has mentioned that he would like to see crowd-funded expansions where everyone will have the benefit of expansion content but are not required to participate in the...

for every additional movement ability all other movement abilities have reduced perceived value. Also they would have to share cooldowns otherwise players could easily just place and endless chain of movement tools to make other forms of travel near pointless such as mounts

I wouldn't put too much weight on the notion that these skins are slowing production of Em8er. These skins are being produced by a commission artist. No significant amount of dev coding time is being spent on skins. Grummz is currently the only full time dev until the Kickstarter which will not...

As the title suggests, since we no longer need Glider pads how about replacing glider pads with short distance teleport pads? Obviously most teleportation platforms need a second platform to teleport to. But to work around this when a player places their teleport pad a minimap menu appears for...

Glider wings are vastly more effective than overthrust for moving in any direction except upwards. In general I'm not impressed with Overthrust's velocity especially in a PvP setting (not that PvP is the goal). Can we reload while sprinting? Perhaps reduce sprint speed and increase reload time...
