Is this the game that had the smoking hot armor babes?

>>16304241

After the first dev team shakeup, it became obvious they have no fucking idea where to take this game, and they're still pretending MMOs are a still a hot market, it's amusing they have the same mindset like Trion Worlds with TERA or Carbine Studios with Wildstar, thinking that they can make it big by making another copy molded game.

>>16304272

And that is what killed it going vertical. It almost reminded me of UO in a sense that you were free to explore and be strong enough/or skilled enough as a player. The pay to win and lotto boxes have killed most online gaming for me.

I did, it was pretty fun, especially the PvP modes, but with how disorganized the developers were it was no wonder it died off so quickly. Does anyone have that blog post as to how utterly mismanaged the game was?

Dragonfly best BF, fite me.

>games you liked but got fucked by takeovers and stupid revamps

Global Agenda

Tribes Ascend

Gigantic

Pretty sure there was another 100.

>>16304246

It had hot chicks in basically the overalls version of armor. If you're talking about hot female armor you might be thinking of Global Agenda?

>>16304475

Funny, I used to adore that game and all I can remember about it now is getting banned for being too good at aiming and the sexy armors on the character creator.

>instanced 12v12 fps

>call it an MMO because you can unlock equipment

Easily one of my least favorite trends.

>>16307113

Pretty sure they started calling it an MMO after they went full steam with the PvE faggotry which included large raids and whatnot.

Was Dome City always a thing from the start? I can't remember that well.

>fps

I remember this, was fun and the community was almost like a mix of journey/flash chatroom folks. You'd fly around and bump into people doing stuff because nobody really did big raids you'd just explore and level up.

>>16311126

Didn't they also get some bodybuilder/male model for the other live action role?

What is the point of asymmetric designs where one side gets armor and gadgets and the other is practically naked?

Besides the obvious one of course

>>16311134

the game was set in an embattled beach resort therefore all the armour was 'based on' swimming and diving suits or some shit

>>16311145

>If possible would you guys want more porn of the game

Oh? To be honest I'd rather have the game back or something similar, it's the whole reason why I even got into Firefall for PvP and Warframe for PvE

both were giant disappointments

Femassault bullying femrecon please

>>16304241

What version are you talking about? It went through like 5 complete reworks in its lifetime because the devs really didn't know what they wanted to do with it.

Isn't it dead for good now though?

Mark Kern, the BO of /v/ on the pedophile website known as 8chan :^) is trying to get together a team and funds to make a spiritual successor, since Firefall was his baby before he got kicked off the development by shareholders, or something jewish like that.

>>16312411

I'd like to have hope but the same shit was pulled with Firefall. Firefall was his dream baby, Team5 or deck5 or Red5 or whatever they were called were all passionate about the game and they still botched it hard enough for everything to go to hell more than twice.

On the other hand, if it's free like Firefall was, then I lose nothing because it's been more than a decade now that I have spent money on a big MMO-type game and I'm never doing it again, and I might as well enjoy it before it goes to shit.

>>16304241

The guys behind most of the good features Firefall had are making a new game called Emb8r, looking good so far concept-wise, i think there is a gameplay demo somewhere, i heard the gliding physics are much better than Firefall's

Does TS even exist anymore? I don't want to touch Discord with a 10 foot pole because it's popular and that might as well mean it'll most likely be stuffed with the twitter crowd, but at the same time I yearn for the days where I could speak with some like minded faggot for hours on end about various video games and actually get to practice speaking English.

>>16312438

Nothing will stop me from having fun, no matter how little it lasts.

So this is reverse EDF

>Wildstar dies

>We get Risk of Rain 2

>It's just Wildstar's combat but you only get two abilities

>It's still a better game

Nice.

>>16312549

Was the jump to 3D graceful? I'm considering pirating it once it's out of EA.

>>16312558

It's really good. It's as good as it gets, pretty much 1:1.

>>16312577

I didn't know the whole story, I only had some forum posts to look at since I didn't paid much attention to it. I know he got kicked by a board of directors but would it be safe to assume he was backstabbed by chinks?

>>16312433

What the fuck are these designs? Jesus Christ.

>>16307113

They've been doing it for quite some time, because in the downfall of WoW, WoW clones have also died off.

>>16311145

It's been a week asshole, where's the porn?

>>16331188

Yep, thank you anon.

Yep. I even got one of those rad bikes.

I miss this game. Too bad it sucked so bad by the end of it. Had a LOT of potential, and reminded me a lot of Tabula Rasa. Why are there fucking NO good scifi MMOs? Or like, any? It's all fucking fantasy sword and shield bullshit.

>>16345586

What was that mail.ru MMO that was futuristic with like three classes off the bat, a cryomancer, some light healslut and a paladin and there were lots of other classes? Did that end up going anywhere?

>>16345671

I've never heard of it but that sounds cool.

>>16345702

I think it's Skyforge. It seems to be dead now.

>>16345718

Oh yeah I forgot all about that game. That's depressing

>>16345718

>>16345732

It's an instanced MMO, it's still getting updates and it's got a niche audience that is somehow making the publisher money, they're even on with the synthwave 80s color trend bullshit.

>>16345743

That's quite a change from what I last played. Last I played you were all Gods or something and all your missions were feats to make mortals worship you more, but in reality it was 4-ish player co-op dungeons which was pretty fun.

I can't convey how depressing it is wanting to play a co-op multiplayer game to the point that I'm actually considering this or Albion.

>>16304241

Hell yeah, i spent months grinding to get every frame (16 at the time) to level 40 out of sheer bloody-mindedness; a shame it's dead, since at one point after they killed the five Accord frames i logged back in and they actually made the dumptruck summonable into the normal play area. I regret not being able to play wheelman with a gang but on the other hand i think they gave bikes away at the start by that point.

>>16345752

The concept was nice but a infinite power curve is just too much for me. Plus I imagine the soft cap pretty much limits you to the point where you'll never actually do godly acts like carrying a raid or something.

>>16345946

>numerous major revamps to nearly all major populations

Replace "populations" with "game systems".

i played and enjoyed it until the second area. it seemed like it was set up to incentivize me to rent a glider. i got mad and left, even though i was enjoying it and could have looked at it as a subscription fee that id delt with in the few other mmorpgs i played anyways.

i dont usually like mmorpgs.

Yes, I enjoyed it immensely and was extremely sad to see it die the slow death that it did. It deserved better. I played almost right up until the servers went offline forever. Fuck I wish they'd resurrect it somehow. I loved my Bastion and Firecat so god damn much.

>Gigantic

This had a lot of things going for it and it was trying to do what Overwatch sorta did with mixing ASSFAGGOTS heroes with abilities with the shooter genre before Overwatch was even announced. Had it actually hit the market before Overwatch did it might have done better, but instead they botched development ever since showing it off in 2014 and then the whole "Windows 10 only" debacle happened.

>>16348383

they ended up on PWE, worst place for mmos to die.

>>16348395

>>16348383

>Had it actually hit the market before Overwatch

either before or after some time when people figured out overwatch is shit. same happened with battleborn (shit release date, retarded dev).

>>16348383

They botched development so hard the devs stuck around making the game without being paid. Sure that's love for the game but that's also some giant mismanagement.

Then they sold out to Microsoft which focused entirely on porting to Windows 10 and only windows 10.

Then they went to PWE which was the ultimate death blow.

What pisses me off is that it was still fun. It's the only one of these Overwatch clones that was heavily melee focused and also had a TTK that was long enough that fights were intense and heavily skill based, but short enough that no one felt like bulletsponge and kills felt earned. I miss it.

How's Project Stamina going?
