I can't in good faith give my vote to the AI-generated image lol, gotta go with the rhino rabbit thing

Keep in mind that Omniframes will have skins as well, so you won't be drip-deficient even while suited up. Like other people mentioned, there's plenty of instances where you'll be able to show off your raw pilot as well - social hub areas are the big one, but there's also hand mining, crafting...

I'm not sure how to put this, but the player housing feels a bit . . . disconnected(?) from the spirit of the rest of the game - especially when you can look at a complete topographical map of the entire planet and just pick a spot. The way I understood it, we would all be starting at more or...

Nothing kills the spectacle of a massive battle faster than a sea of nameplates, or excessive use of flashy VFX. Both of these are pretty unintrusive in most games, but when you're dealing with an MMO, it's better to be sparing with both your UI and visual effects. There are a few approaches to...

One thing that absolutely must happen is some form of grappling/wrestling. There's no better way to show that two combatants are in the same weight class. Having the ability to pin, throw, and stun larger kaiju would slot heavies neatly into the tank role when fighting in groups. Combine that...

Firefall's Thumpers were really well thought-out: The thumpers were called thumpers because they made a thumping sound. They were clearly vertical mining rigs of some kind, which explained how they were able to get at minerals deep underground. They had a readable and unique design that was...

The current state of the forums, speed of development, and general atmosphere in the Discord server is worryingly reminiscent of CoE. I want the project to succeed, but at this point I think my best course of action would be to unsub from all updates and forget it exists for a year or five.

For me, this comes down to two things: How powerful are my weapons? How scary are my enemies? On the weapon feedback front, blasting a swarm of knee-biters with a plasma cannon should send gibs and ragdolls flying, performance permitting. IIRC this is already the plan. Maybe we could blow some...

I like the way Blade & Soul handled revives. When your HP hit 0 you'd go into a downed state, and if you managed to crawl away you could do a quick meditation and bring yourself back. IIRC another player could show up and revive you as well, which would be faster. A similar system could work in...

I wonder if it would be possible to have a way for players to set a 'fallback skin' that gets shown to anyone with the original turned off.

Pretty much just Em-8er. It's taking inspiration from Planetside 2 - which is literally the only MMO I've ever genuinely enjoyed. Everything else has been a zero-effort knockoff cashgrab at best. I'll probably give Blue Protocol a shot just because it looks nice, and I wanna tool around with...

Personally, some of the more fantastical skins are a bit much even for me. Not fussed about the politics. I just like consistent, somewhat believable art direction. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with things that are overtly sexualized, but I prefer if it remains at least somewhat grounded in the...

Maybe there's a way to get the best of both worlds. You could change/modify the giant cartoon drill to something that looks more suited to extended vertical mining. Then the THMPR would take much longer to get at any given resource node, and couldn't move or defend itself while digging. You...

They're so bright that I thought they were crystals for the longest time, especially with the lightning zapping between them. Everyone does 2D rips or fancy magic-looking portals because they read well at a glance, but personally I think a more restrained approach like this would be more...

Often times what makes a good social hub isn't necessarily the hub itself, but the tools players have to interact. Paired emotes, a good chat system, customizable callouts in the vein of EDF or PSO2 (these could actually be pretty useful during gameplay too), plenty of activities/minigames...

The more options the better. Lots of hairstyles, color wheels instead of set pallets, facial sculpting, height and build sliders, the works. Basically, I should be able to make anything from a space dwarf with a massive beard to a 6' 5" oiled up gigachad. Obviously a lot of options means a lot...

Firefall was my first exposure to indie MMO development. I had a lot of fun in the beta, but lost interest when it became clear that they had ditched the original vision in favor of a more traditional MMO set-up. Hopefully Ember can pull through, but I won't be backing until it's at least out...
