In a new post on the Firefall site, the team lays out plans to make significant changes to the battleframe system. The issue at hand is the difficulty in balancing battleframes in both PvE and PvP and how the team aims to solve it. 

Create Balanced “Regulation” PvP Gear 

To solve the crafted gear problem, we’re creating “regulation” versions of everything that will automatically be equipped when you enter a PvP instance.  It’s important to note that in the open world, which includes future open world PvP, you will be wearing your unlocked/crafted gear.  We’re strictly talking about instanced PvP when we refer to “regulation” gear.  In the world of Firefall, “Holmgang” is the competitive sport that the battleframes engage in, so it is conceptually fitting that only regulation gear is allowed.  This will be even more pertinent in our upcoming competitive game modes, as both in the game and out of game, they are treated as a sport.

It's humerous because all you've ever had to do is ask.  People are more than willing to give out keys.

Yeah, pretty much everyone that's in the beta is willing to give one away. We get 5 for just being in it, lol.

Why isn't this released already ? Defiance is just about to release and well I probably going to throw my money that way.

Hasn't been released yet because it's no where near finished, lol. At the moment there isn't any content other than a few story missions, PvP, and wandering the world for Thumping. It's stil fun as hell, though, and I can't wait until they add the "Chosen can take an entire shard" thing.

i still don t know why this game needs pve , when i was supposed to be a competive esport shooter...

same mistake like they did in global agenda...

I'm glad Firefall has PvE. If it was strictly PvP, it would be just like the tons of online FPS (match-based/lobby-based) games out there.

oh ive asked all over the place haha

now to sit and hit refresh while i wait for Sarariels email haha.

Because its not ready yet.  Red5 is taking their time with this beta. Keep in mind that this IS a REAL beta. Not a demo to hype up word of mouth.  As things stand, I suspect it will be late 2013 or early 2014 before the game is in its near final form.

The PvE in FireFall was so much fun, well the little it had. But I lost my old account's password and email. Can someone send me a beta key if they don't mind?

pm me your email if you still need one

The pvp changes for firefall are much needed, good call by r5.
