So, yeah, I'm a Red 5 employee. The rumors are true, I did not get paid on the 25th when payroll was supposed to go through.

Morale at the studio has been shit for about the past year, went up with the hiring of Chris Whiteside and the promise of an awesome China launch, but then went to shit again after the launch failed and Chris was let go, along with 20% of the studio.

I no longer have any faith in a company I once loved.

I can provide proof if needed to mods, assuming my identity is kept secret.

its been a long road.

And the day has come- the portal to new Eden has open up- for the Chosen war to Begin!

You guys managed to pull off the impossible- with its many transformations the game had in the past, you produced a fun game with tons of new content to enjoy!

thanks! to the past and current developers!

Because I am loving it right now. I'm only up to 15 but I am having a blast. Yet all I see is constant complaining from people that have been playing since the beginning of the betas. So I am glad I didn't experience the game beforehand. Maybe it was a whole lot better and I'm missing out, but it doesn't matter because I am enjoying the hell out of this game.

On another note the reddit community for this game is seriously negative. I didn't come check out this sub until I had put around 20 hours into the game. Now I come in here and I was almost second guessing putting some money in. This sub really gives off a feeling that the game is crap and that it has no future.

I just had to ignore t

I'm level 16 on my highest Battleframe, but if I could go back in time to level 1, these are the things I'd tell myself:

• Your Scan Hammer and Thumper are not consumables! You can use them repeatedly, unless you actually lose the thumper in combat.

• You won't get a "mount" until level 25.

• There are automated dropships that tour from major hub to major hub. You can "use" one of these while they're on the ground to climb aboard, and fly a fixed path around the zone. MUCH faster than any other early-level option.

• Early level crafting only helps you at early levels. It doesn't appear to lay the ground work to later crafting, so only has a reward to you if it's immediately usefu

It's amazing how after all those years I still sometimes think about Firefall. Its been such an addictive game. Even poor dev decisions after official launch wont change that its been such a wonderful mmo shooter. I played the most during good ol' beta times, it was so much fun. I believe first 30 or so hours I spent entirely near Copacabana, being hesitant to visit other places on the map, but then for the next 5k the real gameplay began, repetetive but at the same not boring, as I followed players such as skotka, thehink, echlin and many, many more - cheers if you read it :) All those different battleframes with varying playstyles, bwa and other speedruns, tornados, hell, even lgv races.
