Freeplay?

[DragonStryder]

Seems like this game should really have a freeplay mode, where you literally live in the station and get random calls and you have to go the locations etc.

[Steve MacBlyat]

So basically you guys want some kind of copy of flashing lights with better graphics right?

Joking aside, an open world is a great idea, let's wait and see what the devs wants to add to the game.

excaclty what i thought

[xero24]

I just hope they listen to the players as we are what matters, If we are all asking for freeplay, this should be something they should do to keep us playing. The missions are extremely boring and a freeplay mode would be amazing!

[WieJasper!]

Thanks for this thread guys, wont buy it without freeplay i get bored by missions realy fast.

according to the reviews and all firefighter games i seen tryed and watched u guys have made the complety best of all

it be a waste to just say we done no more plannings as it is

many wishes are on free play and random calls u guys can only make it much much better by planning to add so :)

ur choice but do not waste away the chance of the best firefighter game arround is my advice on this

[MrMojoRisin]

Free roam would be good, but I would like to see more varied firefighter roles brought in. Maybe river rescues, or the old cat up a tree, or even somehow if the dev's are up for it, a visit to a school yard to put out a demo fire. Actually, the possibilities are endless (...almost).

Currently there is no freeplay mode planned. The game is mission based. Unlocked fire locations can be chosen on the map freely. Afetr selecting one, you can drive throught the city to the fire location and getb to work to fight fires and rescue peaple. In many of these locations there is a random factor, so the position and cause of fire, which windows and doors are accessible and the position of possible victims as well as other zhings will change each time you start this mission. Since the fires are spreading dynamically it's always a new challenge.

This is not good as a fun game-play mechanic or realism...

You should seriously consider adding a random call button. If you are worried about people wanting to do specific things, i would not worry as you can still keep the system you already got too (Choosing a mission).

Hello everybody,

first of all, thank you very much for this amount of feedback, suggestions and this discussion.
We will certainly collect your feedback internally and we will note it down to evaluate it.

Since some of you also asked about XP and Random Missions:

XP:
You get XP for playing a mission. The more XP you have, the higher your level gets and more missions will be unlocked. Additionally you will unlock all possible fire trucks bit by bit, depending on your gained XP .


Random Missions:
Random Missions can be played multiple times and each time offer a different scenario but - just to make sure - at the known location. These are recognizable through a small dice icon right next to the mission name.

Of course, missions that have not been declared as Random Missions can still be played again and offer a new experience. The fire spreads dynamically and if you now approach the mission differently, it will feel different and has to be approached differently. In contrast to the normal missions, in Random Missions the position and cause of fire, which windows and doors are accessible and the position of possible victims as well as other things will change each time you start this mission (if this mission was previously successfully completed ).

All the best,
M.

You folk need to seriously consider some of the feedback. There is critical flaws holding the potential of the game back. People are giving negative feedback in reviews (Putting people off purchasing) over minor development work. Inserting a simple "take call" button that randomly chooses a unlocked mission would take a single dev less than a afternoon to finish (Put some text on a button/image and link a simple random selection script and insert somewhere on the mission select UI, make sure the mission/description is shown before/during selecting a vehicle and great success)... it would literately add days/weeks/months of ADDITIONAL gameplay and realism (It does not remove anything)... which i believe is profit...

The whole driving to location aspect is a different issue, which can be left alone or once again remedied by simply adding a skip drive button (I like the driving aspect as it adds realism. I am aware that in MP there is a button available for certain completed missions, personally i feel the driving aspect should be left as is (I don't however like having to do it all again after being forced to restart just because the fire killed someone... but that is a different issue).

OK, it established that there is NOT going to be a "Free play" option available. So, how about getting more missions? Soon. Updating the game to prevent the fire fighters from running in front of the engines. When extending ladders to windows tying traverse from the extended ladder through the window all it does it exit to the ground from the ladder. Getting more missions and fixing the game should be the focus, otherwise the game is getting stale.

Some of you sound like whiny little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥..."we need freeplay so we can sit around and RP together".

You don't even own the game...

[Fdmickey26]

If you are going for realism video games will never get it just right it is just how it is. although I do agree it would be a cool idea if you want an open world firefighting game i would recommend flashing lights. you can be police, fire and ems only downside is that it is a work in progress game but it is very fun

Simulator ? Big Joke..
