#2 says it all...

I usually try to think of all the people that could have my job and maybe be better at it than me... Makes me want to perform..

Ho and life is a great game if you actually give it a chance...

Haven't gone through all the answers but here's mine :

First, we need a change of perspective : when filling the ranks of a guild, no matter the game, we shouldn't look for the best players but for the nicest ones. If they can be nice AND good, that's a plus.. People really need to go back to the basics and remember why they started playing MMOs in the first place.. Interactions, common goals, cooperations... the older ones like me will want to add exploration to that too..

Second, do not tolerate mean, anti-social, a** hats (or whatever you want to call them) around you, the reason they keep roaming is that we keep accepting those behaviors are normal on the internet and that WE have to suck up and deal with it. When it should really be the other way around. So keep the morons out of your guild and groups.

Those two help marginalize the odd ones and like every normal human being, if they keep getting painted in a corner, they'll grow bored and leave or adjust their behavior in order to be accepted by the group.

Finally, another small point, just be nice... Help out the people around, group up with strangers for no other reasons than just play the game with them... Put to use all the stuff your mother used to tell you when it comes to social interactions and you should be just fine.. ;)

Gambit

Why would you want anything else than explosive playing cards ?! You do ?... A staff then.. ? How about a cocky attitude ?

Not your style ? Might want to stick to Hello Kitty Online then... ;)

At first I thought it was the limits on Warzones, Flashpoints and Space Missions...

Then I logged in and saw my freakingly ugly helmet... Have to pay to hide it (not a lot, but still...) and my missing action bars... So first 30 minutes were spent on trying to fit the more useful skills of my Sage on the 2 action bars you're allowed...

Have to say it's a nice "preview" of the game, but they're really making obvious that you won't have a whole lot of fun if you intend on not spending a dime on this one...

Got five invites for this game.. Seems like I'll need your email adress to send it to you (feel free to create another email account, but I think it will link your Firefall account to that new email).. Send it to me in a PM for an invite !!

EDIT : All invites sent.. Sorry folks !

I see some weekly unlocks on warzones and flashpoints.. I'd like to remove the warzone limits completly.. any word if they intend to sell complete unlock ?

And I personnally consider the prices to be ok.. They still want you to subscribe after all..

More keys !

If you look at Red 5's timeline for FIreFall you will see that beta will continue in 2013. My guess is the game wont go gold before late 2013 at the ealiest or more likely 2014. That said they are ramping up the monitization in the game. As long as they keep it fair I dont mind paying them for stuff in the beta, as long as I get to hold onto it after.

On the cool side they are letting players keep thier XP for the rest of beta and into gold. I guess this is to keep people playing the beta.

And last it would be hugely unfair to not mention how mcuh fun I am having with this game, even in its current rough state. Its a blast!

Not sure about the late 2013 part... Red5 already stated they were done with the character wiping.. Think they're pretty much done with the new "builds" (not sure if its the right term in this case).. So my guess is they'll get an open beta somewhat soon (before christmas imo) and call this "Launch"..

PvE in Firefall doesn't have more than thumper grinding and exploration right now.. Very few missions.. But I'm looking forward those dynamic events with the Chosen incursions.

On a positive note, game looks great, guns are cool and it is pretty action packed.. Keeping my eye on it.

Got 3 keys.. Send me a PM to have one... Gonna need your Steam account name or email adress to send it to you (Steam gifts), so please add one of the two to your message !

Hmm.. Tough one.. Marvel have a lot of cool superheroes... But if I had to choose only one :

Cyclops for, you know... having laser coming out of your eyes.... LASER ! Why would you want anything else ?

But if I may, here's the complete list of heroes I'd like to try :

Gambit - Coolest weapon combo of all time. Seriously.. playing cards and a staff ! Add the badass attitude is just icing on the cake

Iceman / Human Torch - Wrapping those two cause they share the same reason : the full body metamorphosis coming along the powers.

Nightcrawler - Love the teleporting and accrobatics of this one..

The whole Avengers crew - Just cause I love the movie

Venom / Carnage : The two best villains, in my opinion, of the whole Marvel Universe... No word on the possibility of playing villains though, so I guess I'll have to stick to kicking their ***...

Thanks for the beta key !

Got 2 beta keys.. PM me and I'll send it your way !

EDIT : No more keys left.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think there's still the free server transfer service up.. Just in case it was the reason your guild had to be on that server..

If that is indeed the case, I'm an officer in a casual, very friendly guild with no Vent/TS use right now.. But we're on the Tarnished Coast server.. Send me a PM if you're interrested and we'll figure it out..

Of course, if there's other reasons, I'll just wish you good luck.. Make sure to look for some keywords in the recruitment messages in map chat like : PvP, WvW, dungeon run... Stay away from those as they'll probably attract more competitive players.. And yeah, out of luck, those guys usually asks for voice chat...

Good luck again in your search !

Heard somewhere they could open the servers "a little earlier".. don't know what kind of "earlier" it is, but I suppose is to avoid having 3 millions people try to login at the same time... So here I am trying to log in every 30 minutes.. (someone been faster than me..)

And to OP, yeah.. same as everyone..

Gotta give credits to Square to go back working on a title already launched.. Hope they'll do it right this time..

Checked the official website, but can't seem to find what's new with the relaunch of the game.. Anyone can point me to where I can find the new features ?

They're really doing a good job at listening to their beta testers, or they really screwed up big time with their first builds...

One or the other, this game is on my radar.
