    Physics based melee

    Hmm, my memory of the turret chests is a bit fuzzy, but yeah those were probably things in Nexus era. The Nexus-Last Raven era of games are definitely my least played, as they are absolutely the most unforgiving entries in the series. I think the core differences are a good feature though, you...

    Physics based melee

    I think your memory is all over the place, but that's alright - I'm getting old too. Orbital Weapons were pretty niche for sure, I don't think I ever heard of someone using them. They were internal components in the early games, 1-3, then I think they were made into special cores in Nexus and...

    Physics based melee

    You could kick in Armored Core V, unless you're suggesting Armored Core V isn't one of "the old AC games." I was going to accuse you of being a fair weather fan, but it seems you were the first person to reply to my thread 6 years ago, happy to see a real fan in the sea of dark souls children...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Seeing as there will be a fairly limited amount of vertical content in game: I wouldn't mind player choice in crafting as long as crafting those "vertical upgrades" (like prefixes) is considerably expensive. I don't really like the RNG content either, but it's probably the only repeatable...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    This is actually what I was referencing when I was discussing pilot progression. In the first four Armored Core titles there was a body modification program called Human+ (later called OP-I) that was obtained when you incurred excessive amounts of debt. Lore-wise, you became a test-subject...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Thanks for the response, and for clarification: vertical progression isn't inherently a bad thing - a small amount of vertical progression 10-15% increase from noob->veteran just adds a sense of progress and achievement to the game. In a horizontal setting you can consider it a specialization in...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Yes, this is exactly the type of stuff I'm talking about with Pilot Progression - the human element of the machine, it adds just a bit more depth to the game -- the ideas are great, thanks for the suggestions.

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Except that's not true, I actually discussed this in Chief Chat with Ronyn and Kern and they assured me there would be Vertical progression. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are few games that do not have vertical progression. I definitely do not want much vertical progression. However, the game would get...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Regardless, it was simply another example of a form of "Pilot Progression" in the sense that the pilot is an integral component of the Omniframe as a whole.

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    Perks was an example, I think having some form of pilot progression in a game where you can physically exit your Omniframe makes sense. Pilot progression could even be in the form of "piloting experience" similar to what EVE has for piloting the largest ships. The longer you play, the more...

    [SUGGESTION] Taking inspiration from Armored Core

    @Grummz If you've never played Armored Core, I recommend you try out Armored Core For Answer and Armored Core Verdict Day for the most modern mechanics. Here are my suggestions for mechanics that I thought worked well in Armored Core. They are all just suggestions, so you can ignore or modify...

    Last Chance - FF Credit Program. Red 5 Studios Closing Firefall Tomorrow, July 7th

    The removal of content in general was a completely ridiculous decision that nobody aside from Qihoo360, CloudChaser and the Mystery PVP Designer agreed with. Alt-fires became redundant in that iteration anyways, but for what it's worth I would've liked to have kept them even if they were...

    1.6 was a lot closer to beta than 1.3 was - so not sure how that was too far.

    Goal Achieved! 75 thousand funded!

    Yes, add a Chibi-morph - will attach a picture in a few minutes. I can find some more pictures if this one isn't clear enough. "In English-speaking anime and manga fandom (otaku), the term chibi has mostly been conflated with the "super deformed" style of drawing characters with oversized...

    Official Firefall-Esque ability requests Thread

    Recluse has always been a powerful frame, and got more powerful with each iteration - not sure when you think it was nerfed? My friend oZYRAo is too shy to post, so I will post for him - oZYRAo would like to see a return of delayed high explosive abilities, like Remote Explosive and Artillery...

    Seconded Mighty Charge - it doesn't have to be as powerful, but it was a really fun ability - here's some superior gameplay footage at the request of BunnyHunny: I'll reply with some more suggestions later, just a bit busy right now - I've got a lot of end-game footage, so should be good...

    I'll be whatever guy I want to be, thanks - I don't give two squirts of piss what you or anyone else thinks about me. Your answer to my question was completely worthless, because it wasn't directed at you - period. Unless you have a say in who gets what backer rewards - your comments are...

    Ember EXE demo

    I know exactly what I was pledging for - I pledged a good amount of money, well over $100 so that Ember would have a platform to launch future crowdfunding milestones. I unfortunately, do not have nearly enough money to donate to each milestone - so I was asking @Grummz if both rounds of...

    Will the demo be available to the original Forums backers? I'd understand if not, just curious
