I have 2 big problems with the latest patch, both because they hit 2/3 of my most beloved frames:

1. My Mammoth is now a paper doll shaped like a tank. They finally put in the silly HOT perk and killed the heal perk when activating a skill. I jumped on my tricked out mammoth and got my huge metal ass handed to me by level 40 mobs. No more tanking.

2. They broke the secondary fire of the Recluse, apparently its a bug and will be fixed. Basically the secondary damage is ONLY done to mobs who are hit by the shell directly, not AOE. Ouch. Another frame I will not be playing much till they fix that ;-(

Ooh i see a 3gb patch came through this morning. The whole Dreadnaught class range seems to be dead to me, i don't even have the energy to take my Mammoth to 20 to unlock that perk (sitting at lvl 17) .

I hope they're not nerfing all the classes to the ground instead of making the classes more fun to play. They killed a TON of the frames by nerfing them into nothingness , Tigerclaw being a prime example of it (it's suppose to be the freaking speed-perma-jetpack-dive-bombing frame, now it's just a faster dreadnaught).

I believe they call Mammoth = Fat Recons ;) .
 
Wow, last patch stealth buffed anything that shoots a gun. Last night I was taking real strain with missions at most levels. Chosen snipers hit a lot better, Juggernauts track you much better and the assault types keep your feet hot most of the time.

Ouch, nice challenging change though.

Hotfix this morning: fixed Recluse alt fire, yeay!

25% xp boost this weekend starting 2am Saturday also new even series start then too and keeps going to the 12th.

great, cause I wasn't dying enough as it was :cry:
 
I had a dump truck full of lag last night, it caused me to just quit the game. I really want to enjoy this, but the connection issue I seem to have to hampering my enjoyment a lot.
 
I had some serious connection issues as well. Turns out my router was the cause of all the issues. Try a tracert to the game server.

Code: 
tracert ping.firefallthegame.com
 
Thank, I'll do that tonight to see what's going on. I want to take full advantage of this weekend XP boost and don't want to be bogged down with lag

I must say, yes, i wasn't sure whether they made jobs harder or something, but i was getting killed left and right . Everytime i was up against a dreadnaught enemy (with a gattling gun) i was taking damage like crazy, and that is even with the 20% defense against bullets perk.

Irony is , my assault frames are living much longer than my engineer frames, primarily due to some buffs to their speed abilities. That buff to Afterburner where you can now build up like 3 boosts in advance makes a massive difference in dodging out of these hail of bullets .

So while i like my recently acquired electron frame, it is suddenly VERY squishy and the turret even more squishy (forcing me to consider playing with tesla rifle to repair it). Bastion is still better in this space because of the multi turrets that they can drop instantly with like 5 seconds of cooldown (so if it goes down, you just put down another one) , so they still serve their decoy purpose VERY well.

As for lag, didn't notice much last night, BUT admittedly there's alot more happening in the zones now. I remember back in beta days when the invasions were in full swing we also had all kinds of lag when things got a little hectic. i.e. the Chosen dropping into Copa (the capital city in this game) with all the players going through there....
 
I've been having a problem with my HMG. A lot of the time it seems to do no damage to whatever it is that I'm shooting at :wtf:
 
lol none of you guys have mentioned how this game eats Bandwidth.
3h 40m totaled well over a Gb's worth of data...that's insane.

Edit: 1.78GB total bandwidth used...that's madness.

hahaha! yeah I saw that this weekend as well when I checked my data usage
 
This weekend was an absolute blast. Red5 turned up the event frequency and threw in 2 new events that popped almost every 5 minutes. With that there was also a 25% xp boost. I levelled 5 frames very quickly.

The real fun was having multiple events spawn on top of each other, it made for some eye-bleeding headache chaotic times. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. I have not had such sustained pure fun in an MMO for a very very long time.

I think this is what I find so interesting about this game, it is fun. There is no pressure to level to max or even get the best equipment. Of course, you can do both those things if they appeal to you, but the game does not force you to.

That happens to me A LOT. Last night I had 2 events on top of my job board waypoint, and a nado just around the corner :eek:

I have a problem now where my campaign missions can't continue and I reported it last week already but still no resolve :(
 
Be warned: DO NOT buy more than one event stimulant. If you do and you use one, they are all used up. If you have done this, submit a report and ask for a refund of tokens for those extra stimulants.

Already hotfixed:

Hello Pilots! We have released a hotfix which will address the following issues:

Players can no longer buy an Experimental Stimulant if they already have one in their inventory.
Known Issue: Players who spam the purchase button for stimulants will be able to buy more than one stimulant. This is not beneficial to the player as using a stimulant when you have more than one will consume the entire stack and only give the reward once.
Omnidyne-M vouchers received from the Hazardous Research event are now affected by reputation boosts.
Fixed an issue that was preventing players from completing 'Get Your Ass to Dredge'.
Spiny armor cores now reflect 10% damage as originally intended and are purchasable once again from the PvP vendor.
Reduced the amount of Powered Dark Crystite Cores required for the final repulsor project to 100,000.
