Firefall Catch-All

https://beta.firefallthegame.com

There's a thread on their beta forums about the invites going out, but you can check that address any time, and it has download links and stuff for you including patch notes. On the right hand side will be this:

Invite a Friend!
You have 2 invites to send!
Manage your invites.

Click on manage your invites. I think there are 5 of us + Certis & Elysium (so they said on the CC last week) in the beta. Both of them have yet to stop in and say hi.

+1? is this thing on?

I would like a beta code thankyouplease.

Looking forward to trying this once it goes open beta, not that I'd turn down an earlier invite.

Thanks to Cyrax for the invite - I just fired it up to create a character and poke around, and it's 90 minutes later when I manage to look up.

Ended up way off the intended path, and stumbled into two dynamic events (the lost thumper, with both Chosen and hostile wildlife in the vicinity, was especially fun).

Very happy with the little bit I've seen so far.

Not sure yet how to friend folks up in-game or create groups, but haven't looked too hard yet.

Thanks to Cyrax I'm in too. So far it's exactly what I wanted. Inventory is a little weird but so far the game is a blast. After the initial Ratchet quest I haven't found any more so I've just been exploring a bit and killing spider crab things.

In game hit "~" to bring up the social menu. "c" (for calldowns) and then right click will get you to the same menu. Friend list is on there.

Yeah, the einventory still needs a ton of work, especially when you get more than a handful of items.

There's only a few missions up to where they give you a scan hammer and then it's either the daily, and dynamic stuff, or bringing down thumpers. Don't forget to try out the PVP (via terminals in Copa or Trans Hub, or the social menu). They're trying to collect more data for the game on that to improve matchmaking and balance and such.

Would love to try this out if there are any beta invites still out there.

OK, OK. I'd be up for a beta invite too. Sounds like too much fun not to try right now.

I know! I'm waiting on Planetside 2 (free to play), Line of Defense (free to play - I think), End of Nations (free to play) and now Firefall (free to play).

ADDED: Oh, and BL2 of course.

If a spare invite is out there, I won't turn it down.

I will happily take a beta invite if anybody has one. I've been anxious for months to try this game.

They should throw us beta-askers into a Firefall arena match to decide who will get the invite. And just then we realize we are all in Firefall! Yippee! We proceed to run off and play.

I will thank anyone profusely for an invite.

Not to rub noses in it, but I'm really enjoying Firefall. The framework of the game seems great and I think it's going to make for an awesome game for GWJer co-op. The grouping seems really clunky right now unless I'm missing something. Without the usual MMO targeting it seems overly difficult to invite people.

I'm Liquidmantis in game, so friend me up.

Dimmerswitch in-game, and friend invite sent.

Also, the beta works with the Steam overlay, which means you can easily make & post screenshots. Case in point:

If a spare invite is out there I'll do WizKid one better - I'll kill for it.

More pictures please. It's hard to live vicariously using just my imagination.

I have changed my mind! Please consider me for inclusion into the Club of Awesome! I make awesome cream cheese brownies!

This is truth. I have tasted his/her... wait... cream cheese brownies?! OMG.

I've got tons of pics, but most are of funny spots that need work since, you know, I"m actually playing like its a beta.

Let me see if I have anything fun to look at...

BTW shift+print screen will take a shot without the UI elements. Anything taken via the in game tool goes to your my pictures/firefall folder.

Wow. Is that as awesome to play as it is to look at?

And those bug-eye guys need to lay off the juice.

Take Borderlands, TF2, Tribes, add crafting, and blend well.

Oh, and add bizarre hot vendor chicks that sound like drunken miners with a smoking problem. "You shore look purty."

drunk smoking miner babes

Someone took pity on me when I said on the Firefall forums I had been registered since Sept 2010 and gave me an invite. I'm installed and in - Cymbrogi is the toon at the moment. Sent friend requests to a couple of you that I know are here. Will try to get more goodjers in as I get invites.

Just starting to play after I type this, so no idea what I'm in for.

I just checked, and I registered 9/8/10 as well. Still nothing

Yeah, I was a 9/10 baby too. I'm jumping back in now to see if anyone is on.

[Edit] Aw, Cymbrogi is offline already.

9/10/2010 myself, but I don't seem to have the luck for getting into betas.

Haven't seen bugeyes like that short of a muppet. Sheesh.

I'd happily taka an invite when extras start percolating out again.
