Firefall General Article: Review in Progress #1
By William Murphy on August 01, 2014

I wanted to share that MMORPG article, since his experiences mirror my recent experiences with Firefall.  I was actually one of the first Alpha testers of this game, back when it was more or less a Tribe's clone.  I've seen it undergo a lot of changes and complete redesigns.  I have to hand it to Red 5, they've literally worked their asses off on this game over the last... well, quite a few years.  If it didn't work, they didn't give up, they just went back to board and tried to find a balance between the game they envision and the game that players want.

So, the article is a good read, I suggest reading if you've had an interest in this game in the past, but didn't really like this or that about it.  True to Red 5's history, there have been a lot of changes over the past year, even the past 6 months.

I will be playing this game for the next 3 months, my toon's name is Æonæ  (alt-0198 and alt-0230 or just copy/paste) if anyone playing would like to friend me.

A new world

 

Of walking.

 

And walking.

I've been playing it since early early closed beta and while Launch certainly did add quite a few new awesome things, Patch 1.0, which was a major overhaul of practically 90% of the content only got 2 weeks worth of playtesting before being released for review. Because of that, threads like the one above started to appear and so far, they've been pretty darn accurate. I'm serious when I say that this game isn't even close to being finished.

Also here is where I talk about the things I won't do if I'm chosen to be a community mentor. :3

Alt codes don't work ingame. If I try to use a code, nothing will happen. Having a name like yours prevents people from being able to whisper you, or add you to squads unless they click on your name or copy/paste from another source. My ingame name is Lleandra by the way. :3

Alt codes do work in-game, I just logged in and tested it to be sure.  I've had that name for years, people have added me, so yea... I know that it works. (tip: you have to hold down the Alt key while typing the numbers)  But it works in both in the chat box and Social menu.

Yea, they've removed stuff, which does disappoint me, but overall I really like 1.0.  I've seen that game go through a lot of changes.  More than pretty much everyone posting those little whine posts on the forums.  Many people like the game. 

Is the game fun to play?  Yes, I definitely think so, which means it meets my primary needs.

I've been trying to use alt+3 to type in hearts ♥ for awhile now. Are you using any addons?

I've only played it a little. Just downloaded it last week and thus far I've only logged in a couple of hours of play ( started a second business so my current play time is about a couple of hours a week lol. ) but thus far it's been a lot of fun. Kind of reminds me a little of Defiance. And I loved Defiance.

No, I am not using any addons, but my name just uses standardized Windows Alt Key Codes that are in the Windows Character Map.  I'm not sure if the heart symbol is part of that (I wasn't able to find it in the Char Map), but I am able to use that code in Notepad.  I'll check later to see if I can do the ♥ in-game.

While playing, Be wary of the armies you may join. Some are multi-gaming clans that prohibit you from joining if you are in another multi-gaming clan that plays the same games they do.

 

And there are some that completely lie about who they are and what they do. :3

I have my own guild brand (although its dormant at the moment), so I really don't join other guilds, in any of the 30+ MMOs that I play.  I've tried a couple over the years, but its never worked out.  I'm outspoken, bluntly honest and sometimes they know who I am and feel threatened, even if they meant not to when they asked me to join them.  That's not really a problem these days, because I haven't marketed the Sekkerhund or Waelwulfas brand since ~2007.  Most folks don't recognize me anymore... which may be a good thing.  LOL

GSCH is pretty much the only "other guild" that I've joined and stayed with for any significant amount of time over the last 15 years, but it's "social gaming community" design allows me an autonomous freedom that I can't have with other more traditional designed game guilds.

 

BTW, the alt+3  ♥ command does not work for me, however I can do alt+33 and it does give the ! character.  So, I assume that the game only supports the standard Windows Alt Key Code characters, as I mentioned previously.
