how many of you are still playing this

[Lana Torrin]

I just bought my Mesmer. Totally fail in support skills, but I have it and am stomping around punting Arkhe's around like a boss.

Yeah well.... I have an Epi source...

[filingo]

Out of curiosity, does it matter if we keep this one or not?

if you are wandering around rocking out to some tunes played off your walkman do you keep the dead battery when you change it?

no

so as surely as the magnetic tape passes through the machine making glorious sound thus the forums of FHC continue to roll on

Really showing your age with that analogy...

keeping it reel (to reel)

[Gix Tyrionn]

Agreeing with this. It needs a lot of work.. But has a huge amount of potential..

The reason it was 'released' was basically because it was costing the devs money and they couldn't afford to keep it free. So they did a soft release in the state that its in now and aren't advertising it.. If this project had money behind it, it would still be in beta, and the devs will tell you that.

x2 Its a paid beta for a game that is potentially great.

If I wasn't a terribly broke student I'd be running several subs just to support them. That said its not worth playing a game where there are maybe 50 people in open pvp zones undocked and playing during peak times.

I'm not a big fan of PvP and non-PvP zones...

well ive asked entrox to close this forum.. lets see what happens

[Spaztick]

Never played this game, just posting to +1 crew checking in.

You should.. It'll make other MMOs look awesome!

Honestly, I'm just too burnt out to care. Give it time and some fresh faces. The same things were probably said about EVE back in the day. Should probably axe the private forum too.

[Tyrus Tenebros]

I might sub for another month to piss around and to gain EP in case they make it mindbreakingly awesome, but currently inactive due to being sucked in to Eve again.

[Batolemaeus]

I'm moving, so I'm still playing theoretically, although I can't log in.
How you can get sucked into Eve is beyond my understanding though.

[Marlona Sky]

I set the goal post pretty far away for CCP. Would take many, many, many fixes to get me sucked back into EVE.

[Batolemaeus]

I didn't, I just want to have fun 0.0.
Far beyond CCP's capabilities though.

i think this should go back to a megathread and this forum should be archived. :< :< :<

[Space Panda]

this game is fucking dead. i logged on today and there were 9 people in the eve channel, and 1 (me) in the FHC channel. 160ish in general chat.

i have around 35k EP sitting around though.

[Hehulk]

Oof

Still enjoying myself crew checking in... I have noticed im the only person in the FHC channel a lot though (I might leave it soon).

The new 'random' spawns are fun if you can find one that doesn't spawn mechs..

I think the biggest issue with the game is that there currently is not a lot of room to expand.. The island layout they currently have is limited (not enough islands to support a large number of people, islands aren't big enough for more than 1 group to 'own' them, islands are too big for the population currently on them, etc.) and TBH they need bigger islands with more outposts on them and less in island teleporters (to promote walking places) and more inter-island teleporters (to allow people to jump from island to island more easily without being camped).

What they need is MUCH bigger islands and multiple outposts per island (a bit like the current alpha-1s but bigger) and a reason to go to these other outposts.. On a beta island like this it would be possible that 2 opposing groups take the outposts and then they can war on the island without having to 'gate camp' eachother in..

The missions have/had some weird balancing problems. The spawn points seem designed for two people and two people only. If I was the only one there, I'd have to constantly take cover, run away, spend extraordinary amounts of time repairing after having managed to only kill 1 npc etc etc. If there's 2 (including me), I could go at it like a champ until my hold was full. If there were 3, we were scrambling to tag spawns.

I tried to explain this too them when I was a beginner... TBH, once you have about a months worth of skills under your belt you can pretty much just walk in to the low end spawns and solo them though, so the problem isn't that the spawns are too hard its that they are too hard for absolute beginners.. You also need to learn the trick of only getting one or two agroed and dragging them away from the others, once you get this down you can take on almost anything.

The skill progression going all the way up to 10 is a bit retarded as well.. On some skills this means that you are 50% or 100% better at something than a noob. Balancing this must be a nightmare..
