Yea, considering it's a "building" game that is constantly being wiped, i wouldn't exactly put alot of energy into it , but a special is a special.

Interestingly enough, the things you build can be template saved for use after whipe. So that cool couch you made piece by piece can be loaded up instantly after the whipe. You still have to scavenge again for the materials though ;-)

I am hoping that there will be an announcement for open beta (soft launch) now in early August at their SOE fest. I am learning a lot about the game as I play it now. Not putting a lot of time in it but it is very relaxing.

Currently working on getting engi to 30 so I can unlock the +25% turret damage perk for my bastion. Then I will focus on making my bastion and mammoth as well geared as I can. As for the founders pack, I am SO glad I got that plus all the playing I did in beta. Having a bike, gliders and copa porter makes life so much easier. Also having a maxed out bastion and mammoth makes me happy since levelling now SUCKS. It takes forever once you hit 21 or so to level up because of the STUPID level gated system.

Levels 1-21 are great, big spaces in coral forest, trans hub etc. 21 is the start of levelling pain.

From 21-30 you have very small areas that give you xp with very very few ARES missions. The jobs are all long distance. Most irritating. Once I get 30 on the engi, I am outta there back to DT.

I am hoping they bring HC BWA back soon, it is actually a ton of fun with some great loot drops.

What irritates me most about the new system is what irritates me most about every level based MMO: playing with friends is painful unless everyone is within 5 levels of each other. If I play with friends I pick a frame that is close in level to theirs, even though I hate that frame.

I'm lucky i generally have alt-titus , so i have a bunch of frames i find enjoying up to a point. Even the Assault frame is alot of fun with the speed boosts and that rocket-bomb thing they do.

Anyhow, yes, the other problem with the lvl 24-35 zone is the jobs are sending you across the entire zone , so if you're lvl 24, you will be ending up in spots which are lvl 35 too. It didn't look like the mobs in the area actually scale to your level, if the "event" is in a lvl 30 area, then the mobs will be lvl 30 too.

Anyhow, Recluse is apparently one of the OP frames anyway , so i'm having fun with it. Also played my DragonFly a bit , i think i will use that in the group content, the healing on that frame is still of the best you can find in this game.
 
These okes really need to sort out their server. 5 stops forward and 1 step back to character select. I'm done until the server is more stable.

Yea sadly i played for 20 mins and then everything went haywire, no one could interact with anything (they could still chat though).
 
Had quite a lot of fun last night, did BWA for XP a few times and some missions, 3 more levels before I can go back to my big guns.
 
Also downloaded this last night and quickly checked it out this morning. Barely had time to do anything so I'll only properly try it out after work today.
 
Server stable today, so had some good group fun with Shrike. It can be a very addictive game once you get going hehe.
 
My brother and I grouped up today and had quite a bit of fun. Did a couple of board missions until we got to that first instance mission with the drop ship. He got in and i was left outside on my own. :/ Need to figure out why i cant group for it.

There are minimum level restrictions though, can't enter them if you are too low. If you are too high you are scaled down.

What happened to me when I returned is that I didnt complete the "tutorial" that I suddenly had to do, I couldnt start mission 1 at all until I did that.
 
Yeah when i logged again afterwards it showed my tutorial as complete and i could do the mission. Just having really bad connection issues since yesterday. Fun game but couldn't be arsed to deal with the disconnects and lag.
 
Huge 3.5gb patch this morning, tons of fixes, some more bugs, standard MMO patch day.
I am loving this game again, simply because I play with friends. Last night me and a friend levelled his new frame by just running around doing random events across the map, had great fun. I am just making sure I have frames spread out across levels so I can play with friends.
 
Yea, patchnotes for those that wonders:

Dont bother, the HP increase was minimal, the CD module nerf made sure that restocking your big turret is a pain. Many of the changes didnt actually make it into the patch. There is no increase in world activity, many nerfs didnt make it, things are still the same in many cases.

Aah well, recluse it is then ;-)

The expected nerf on the Recluse OPness did not appear, so yeah, also going to play the recluse while its hot ;-P

There's actually a bugfix with their siphoning perk , if it's actually fixed they are even more OP. Siphoning only healed on weapon damage (not the poison DOTs) and on the patch notes, this was fixed to heal for all damage.
 
I would so love to play as Recluse but alas, I only started playing when it was released and I am a level 14 Dreadnought :(
 
Finally figured out the cause of my connection issues. My router seems to be faulty. Doh. Look like I'll be spending time in firefall this weekend
