Firefall?  This sounds familiar.

*Clicks link*

Those...characters...look...awfully...familiar...

*Watches video*

OH RIGHT.  That game.

Eh.  If someone has an invite, toss it at me.  It'll be a good distraction for a few days, I'm not likely to really get into it, but I've heard good things.

Employ ten-minute mail if you don't want a lasting connection there.

I love temporary email boxes. <3

Nice!

I'll be adding this to the OP....

edit: Since nobody went for the other invite, I handed it off to a friend.

... I have to grind to get 10x the amount of crystite that I've already acquired in order to do the basic MPD research for the first or second tutorial mission. (I have 10, it wants 100). What the frak. Most blatant shoving of grinding in your face in a game I have ever seen. (I wouldn't be surprised if it requires Even More Resources to make the MPD afterward)

Also, I picked Recon, and the only weapon I started with is a sniper rifle whose aim mode only goes from long range to longer range. And a 1-second-or-so-delay non-sticky mine. Buh. It also takes multiple hits to kill anything non-tiny, and things (including me and other players) move hyper-fast.

(I'm assuming that I have no secondary weapon because scrolling my mousewheel did not switch to one, and the number keys handle mines and stuff, and the tutorial has not mentioned any secondary weapons)

Switch weapons with 'Q'.

I don't know what the problem with making an MPD is. I had more than enough cash on hand to construct it along with some other goodies with no grinding.

Random question: can you sell stuff? I've got loads of resources I'm not seeing myself using any time soon.

More random questions: what's the point of buying new suits? I bought a bio-whatsit suit. When I put it on, I still have my assault weapons and abilities. I thought I was supposed to have a healy-beam, but I'm not seeing one in my inventory.

Been spending an age trying to install but every damn time the installer freezes and stops downloading :/

I asked twice.

Figures, I'm too late. Eh, I suppose I couldn't use the key until I get home anyway even though it'd be fun to test the game.

[V-Norrec]

Well I'm interested, but, it'll probably be a while until new invites sooooo, I'll just leave this here.

Logged back in today, had 270-some crystite in my inventory, when I had logged out with 10 (WTF?). Took 5 minutes to find the place I had to go to do the research/manufacturing because where I logged out wasn't where I logged in and it isn't on the map and didn't have a quest target.

A bug or some bad networking code. It can take up to one hour for the items to be displayed in the inventory. Think i heard something about this getting a hotfix soon.
I think the molecular whatever it was called was marked on the map?

Yeah, there's apparently been tons of problems with inventory updates, I suspect that it's just the server buckling under the stress of so many people being logged in now due to the alienware giveaway and the recent invites that they handed out.

[magistrate101]

I managed to stack up 2 more invites!

First 2 people to PM me (With their Emails!!!) get it, I'll announce who got it after they're both sent out.

[Draco18s]

I've got one as well, but I'm checking with friends first.
edit: Both went to friends.
