    Wacky quests, in-jokes and more

    Was told to throw this idea in the thread so here goes: As a random Easter egg you can find while exploring a mini Melding Storm just chilling in a corner of the map. Also to have a Mammoth Frame frozen in the ice somewhere.

    Can we please get a longsword?

    A minor adjustment to the frequency could result in the energy absorption field not functioning properly. Also, the energy absorption field would have a natural overload limit to it. If you are diverting absorbed power into a weapon like a coilgun I can just increase output, cause then I...

    Can we please get a longsword?

    Honestly speaking any size changing weapon should be pure energy based because then the size can be explained by output and energy fields. Those are also a staple of Scifi due to their explain-ability. Inventing magic physical materials that change size without severe downsides to usability...

    PvE- Raiding - Progression - etc

    If this game was using a standard WoW clone type vertical progression it would have the instances that people in MMOs refer to as "Raids". But this game is not going that route. Instead the question should be "What would be defined as a Raid in the open world?" We are probably going to get...

    Can we please get a longsword?

    The funny thing about that scene was that according to the script he was supposed to do some fancy whip work against the dude. But since he was tired from all the shooting they had to do from the scenes before Harrison Ford was exhausted so he just resorted to the pistol and they ran with it...

    Some of the Top things that pushed me out of FF

    More like spent too much time trying to cater to every investor suggestion so instead of Firefall being Red5's idea it ended up as just a wowclone with guns. Against what the community were calling for.

    What got me interested in FF

    The guy who did Zed was pretty good too, the VA clearly knew they were handed an over the top scientist character and just ran off with it. The dynamic between him and Aero was just on point and it was always amusing listening to his quest dialog.

    Ideas for All Hallows Eve event

    Wouldn't it be the other way around? Ghosts protect the ruins (that they haunt) from the looting (treasure) hunters? Stealthily sneaking up on the hunters in order to murder them, the hunters equipped with gear to detect the ghosts in order to prevent themselves from being isolated and killed...

    Melee combat

    With what we know of the enemy at this time, I do not think there will be aerial melee. Not to mention aerial melee is a lot harder to make work then ground melee. Not to mention most games with aerial melee are side scroller fighting games. In 3d games aerial melee is very basic, and any...

    Let's talk Abilities

    In the case of the Biotech, the reason why Healing Wave did damage was that they did not want to restrict a frame to being party only, or get stuck in the classic MMO trinity. They had already seen that be the case back when Biotech was called Medic and had a latch on healing beam during early...

    Could we have a simple "Phase Shift" for OWPvP?

    Unless they do it the same way they did in Firefall: Just use cut out sections of the open world map for the arenas. Back in early Firefall CBT we had Attack/Defend CP OCT, then came Blackwater Harvester, later Sunken Harbor and Shanty Town TDM. Many installations designed for the open world...

    Could we have a simple "Phase Shift" for OWPvP?

    Honestly I would rather have arena based PvP. At least Arena based pvp has less of a chance of driving players away so that fans of pvp actually have people to fight. Further it would also make the change in loadout make sense. As well as provide more gametypes instead of just "screw with...

    Melee combat

    Technically a small/medium shield can be designed to function like an extended backplate of a gauntlet. Using the edge of the shield to enhance a punch. Think of the Uruk-hai shields in Lord of the Rings. Sufficient for blocking an attack, and could be used as a weapon themselves in a punch...

    gender based mecha

    And shields lead to weaponry designed to bypass/disrupt it, which in turn leads to defenses underneath the shields to prevent pilots from dying because when you are on a far away frontier world nothing is more important then the lives of your pilots, if only to save money on trying to replace...

    gender based mecha

    Yeah complaints about that were often said (especially from me, and my friends agreed with me) which is the Hard Driver Mode was added on later. Letting us encase the pilot in a layer of armor.

    gender based mecha

    The most obvious, and active, one is the 1st core that is used in Ichika's frame. That core was also used by Chifuyu when she masqueraded as the White Knight, and if you watch the OVAs is in contact with the IS Core that was in Chifuyu's official IS that functions as the core of the IS School's...

    gender based mecha

    Any woman could use the system while only males from a specific household could use it. Further the cores could not be spoofed because the cores themselves are sentient. This was why Ichika was the only male on the planet who could use an IS. Also the suits, including Ichika's, which was a plot...

    gender based mecha

    Technically the frames used for the IS units in Infinite Stratos series are gender neutral. The IS Cores however due to a quirk by the designer only accept women, the only men that can be accepted need to be of the Orimura family as the designer only cares about her projects, her little sister...

    gender based mecha

    Both Mazinger and Godannar are Super Robot genre shows. Female form mechas are exclusively found in Super Robot genre, and completely absent from Real Robot genre. This is due to Real Robot genre mechas being designed as unisex and for mass production (hence why in Gundam the Gundams themselves...

    For how long?

    Honestly its going to probably be ~2-3 years before we really have anything beyond a barebones playable concept demo. Especially given how small the team is.
