So it's over... but how did you like it?

[JustusLM]

I just wanna make a thread so fans can share what they liked about the game.

For me personally I'm going to say I love sci-fi in general, the backstory is amazing, and the whole concept of battleframes and that everyone can fly and the art style create an amazing experience. It's sad that it's over now.

It was the best MMO since the first WoW. This was the WoW killer. The game that could have refreshed everything and revolutionized the MMO market as a whole. It had that much potential.

when it was good, it was in my top 3 free to play games of ever. ember, here i come

I've never played a FPS, but I love MMOs so I tried it. I loved it. It had a blend between options to level solo or via group events. I've never played a game where a dev logged in to do group events and then on top of that made them crazy challenging and fun. Really aggravated that they annouced the shutdown the day it happened. High hopes for EmBr or however they are spelling it.

This is just me but that is why the The9 came to fkup the game but this is just me talking to the stars

I love it, had almost 2000hrs, I started playing when it came to steam. I never heard of it before that. I had been playing Anarchy Online but left it cause of all the broken promises and fell into Firefall almost at the same time. It was THE game to play.

I loved the graphics and gameplay, coral forest was my favorite area, so beautiful. One of the things i liked in the game was the open world and the easter eggs you could find.

Another was the fighting, if a party was on a quest taking out a mob and you helped you got rewarded too, which took away people whinging about killstealing.


It was mainly the last 2 big updates that ruined it for me and just about everyone else, taking the game in a direction we didnt like.

I'm not going to hold my breath for Em8er.

I and most of my army have moved to Project Genom, it's had a shaky start but the big content patch will be coming soon. FF's reward system is meant to be in Project Genom too

Might see you there, check out the newsletters and my review.

Buy me a copy of Genom and I'll play it.

Just wait till it comes on special, i got mine for $15, i got the silver backer pack around $40 worth free on an mmo contest site.

I knew the game was going to fail hardcore from when i started playing the beta some time ago

It was actually my first MMO. Lots of things kept me away from MMO's before this one. The subscription model has always been absurd to me for a whole host of reasons, so I've never touched subscription games before. F2P games for years had a stigma for being lower quality and catered very exclusively to the Asian market with its different tastes, so I stayed away from those, too. And finally, most MMO's were WoW-clones ultimately, and nothing about that style of gameplay has ever looked or sounded appealing to me, so I didn't have much reason to even be very curious.

This was an FPS with jetpacks that had some traditional MMO trappings, and it was free, so I tried it, and ended up getting way into it. I gained an appreciation for the community aspect of MMO's that I didn't have before, for that feeling of being in this place populated by other people that feels like a home away from home in ways that other kinds of games can't. And I have to say, I'm going to miss it terribly. All the sights and sounds, the places, the players and interactions through chat and open world events and hardcore missions and raids and hijinks and so on. I haven't really played in over a year now (1.7 kind of killed it for me), but I still treasure all of it.

It's the first time I've played a game that made such deep impressions on me that I won't ever be able to go back to (not even an empty version of it to just remember things). It's all relegated to my memories and some videos on the internet now.

To wasting time in Copa.
To leashing invincible brontodons into places they're not supposed to be (mostly Copa).
To human trees stacked to the heavens.
To punting (Pez punting especially).
To my beloved snow angel wings, pre-1.6.
To flipping haulers upside-down at Sagan, post-1.6.
To the ever-iconic death squads and their executioners.
To classic BK, nados, squad thumping, OCT, Skydock, and everything else we did to pass the time.

To all this and more - I'll remember it forever. Thanks for all the fun times, guys.

Absolutely loved this game. I doubt anything will ever replace it. The vibe it had was just amazing. I would routinely load it up and just 'hang out' while doing other things just so I could 'be there'. I haven't played any other game that makes me want to do that.

The game could have been turned around. It just needed reinvestment. Still so much potential.

And now they're making a mobile game? What kind of a joke is that? Would it really have hurt them so much just to keep the servers running and handle maintenance?

I didn't play much since the last two patches...very little, but that was only because I have so many other games to play. I regret not spending more time with it in the end, but I definitely packed in the time before that.

FF, you will be missed dearly.

I absolutely agree. All the way until the end I was holding on hoping that 1.8 would finally arrive.

[scruffysamurai]

i lived in this game for a while and its absence will leave a void in my heart till i die.

[GiantPixie]

I loved this game but I was late to the party and things started sliding downhill not long after I started playing.

[Wolverine]

I had fun in it, and i really enjoyed the Bastion before they pretty much ruined it.

When Em8er has a solid version up and running, and i can test it, i might give it a shot.
When Project Genom is out of the alpha and early access stage, and offers a free test version, i might give it a shot.

Defiance is F2P, therefore easy to get in, and easy to move on, when something better comes along.

or Skyforge, this one might also do it, until there is something better ready. anniversary event started today, so it might be worth a look.
