Now I've stopped laughing....

I just went over to the Firefall forums, to have a bit of a look and see what all the fuss is about when I stumbled upon a thread which made me think of STO...

Yes, it's an "I quit" thread, but after a quick read I seen by the OP a cracking post....

for a 6000 Credit frame that's 150,000 Crystal, 6 days. Just so you can start playing the game with an actual Frame, that you would actually enjoy.

That's... terrible. Unfair, unfun, and that 6 day potentially turning a new player away.

I had to read this a few times for it to sink in.....

They are upset and quitting, because the grind for a new frame (their equivalent to a new top end ship) take a whopping... SIX DAYS !!!!!!!

I swear I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I've had to check I didn't literally wet myself after reading that

I'd suggest they try grinding out a ship over here, but I think it may actually kill them.

You know, I've read some drivel on these forums (and that's just my posts, even worse if I add you lot to :P), but I honestly think we could not sink as low or as fast as they have - games been open to the public for like a week !!! LMAO.

Just thought I'd share the giggles, hope you find this as funny as I have.

@PWE + @Crypitc = You may want to keep a printout of that thread, no matter how bad it gets here, at least you don't work over at Red 5 with their customers

Just goes to show it's all relative and that the grass *is* greener on the other side.

are the battleframes also still the equivalent of classes? Because if so, 6 days to acquire a new class is peanuts. In comparison, if you want to play free over on LotRO, it takes a long time soloing to earn up the 795 Turbine points needed to get the Warden or Runekeeper classes, especially when awards are doled out "nickle & dime".

yep. battleframes are still the classes.and that guys nuts.... you can play just fine in the basic frames, as all most of those different frames do is give access to different weapons or abilities.

Yes.

So, you see why I find it so funny. Please post the LotRO info there, with that info and mine - they'd have nightmares Red 5 may do it to them

hehe, I still compare it to the old Avengers Alliance(Facebook game) forums. Peeps were getting banned left and right for openly flaming the devs.... about the same sort of trivial nonsense as in STO. "Why do the devs hate my favorite characters?" etc...

Those devs had a sense of humor about it at least. They made Deadpool into a big middle finger back at those players. He'll randomly pull out a laptop and whine on the forums, which can randomly result in targets being made "OP," "Nerfed," or "Banned from PVP."

Deadpool's not even the only one that does meta-commentary like that. Nico Minoru has some of that too. One of her attacks is named "You Suck!" and it gives the opponent(among other things) Nerfed.
