  1. So I got the joys of running into the "mission failure imminent" timer on today's sortie against Lephantis. 
    Despite the fact that I killed him, the timer kept going and I failed the mission. I didn't even know this was a thing, but as a solo player, this really just hits hard.

    This is the first time I haven't been able to beat a sortie boss solo, and its simply because I don't have enough time to defeat them. 

    Video here (should skip to 24 minutes, as that's when the timer started): 

     

  2. In the time that I've been playing this game I've really been hoping for a story mode of some sort where I could get a reason to keep playing. The game has great potential for an amazing story to play, as they've shown with the backstory of these events, but they need to put these stories together for a much larger one that will keep the player involved and interested in constantly. What we have currently isn't that, it's more just kill people cause a woman with a big hat said so. We the players need to see why these people need to be killed in game, not a trailer. An example would be Alad V, in the trailer we see him kill Excal, but in the game itself we don't ever see a frame in his machine get sliced by his machine. We need to see some, if not most, of these things to help the player see why this person needs to be taken out, why this faction is so evil, we need the game to show us these things, not for DE to simply tell us. 

  3. DE did say universal abilities are going to be a thing, but I think what you are talking about here are simply more personalised abilities for each frame? Like instead of the standard 4, we get 6-8?

    Something of the sort yes, however I do like the sound of universal abilities as well.

  4. By this I mean more abilities that we can chose to use on our frames.

     

    For example lets take Ember, her four current skills are

     -Fireball, a standard projectile based skill

     -Accelerent, a CC buff ability

     -Fire Blass, an AOE defensive ability

     -World on Fire, a AOE Nuker ability

     

    These are mostly (what I consider at least) basic skills good to have for most. if not every, situation. But what if she had more abilities that could almost completely change the way she was used? Like giving her the option of more supportive abilities that will allow her to be help boost her team more. This could include skills that give her team extra fire and blast resistance or giving her the large knockdown AoE that the Leaders have. Or if one prefers being more in the face of the enemies then they could have abilities that would boost her defense and focus more on close ranged damage such as giving her team a melee fire boost. Or maybe you prefer the nuking ability she has and would like more abilities that could boost that damage greatly or just allow you to dish more out. 

     

     

    Currently most frames are very one-sided with what they do and have no real diversity between them cept for a few mod differences and I would like to see that changed with new abilities for each frame that could actually change differences between how one person may play them versus another while still keeping the theme of the frame.

    Just thought I'd let everyone know if they weren't aware.
