Red 5 is calling on all Firefall players to login and play for as long as they can today and Friday as a stress test for the end of Stage 1 Open Beta. Even if you've yet to play Firefall, this is a great opportunity to end Phase 1 with a bang!

hahahhaha
LOL the devs have seen what I was seeing players leaving in droves.
For the past 2 weeks the game has been losing people faster and faster until its become a ghost town.
I finally threw in the towel 2 days ago and uninstalled.
Stress testing servers 2 YEARS after beta starts? Yea I call bullshit...
No signature, I don't have a pen
Don't want to ... upset anyone or something, but firefallthegame.com has 38.5 k traffic rank according to alexa.com . That means around 30 to 40k traffic visitors to the website daily. And I mean visitors, not players.
Keep in mind that games in beta, tend to have a high traffic on their website ( including from the players ) due to the news about bug fixes , updates to the game and such.
As a comparation aiononline.com has 19k alexa ranking ( lower is better ) and that game does not have more then 200k players ( i think they have around 150 ) .
So, yes, from my point of view and based on those informations, firefall has around 50 to 100k players right now, which is not good. Not good at all.
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
its a GoOd dAy to diE !!
I see what you are trying to do, and while I think you deserve some merit on your guess, the fact of the matter is, there is no way to tell a game's Playerbase number until the company announces it themselves. Even then, that really only holds true for subscription based games, as free to play games use a number of different metrics to calculate a game's success.
A lot of free to play companies are much more interested in peak CCU, ARPU, beta signups, first time spenders, and monthly revenue, among other things.
Sure it has nice features but on a whole it's boring like hell. After a week i already played every mission available about 50ty times and did about 50 hurricanes and watching my thumper digging ore while killing the same monsters again and again and again .. even with the exactly same spawn intervals is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring. PvP is a joke if you can enter the pvp map at all no balance between classes at all.
90% of the times the UI breaks after a few minutes of play either preventing you to use your call downs or accessing you inventory, crafting or dressing interface. So you need to relog as reloading the UI didn't works hoping that you don't enter the login queue (Is it still in ?).
And every time you mention a bug some FanBoy tells you ... hey it's a beta. No it isn't, they selling stuff for real cash, it's a lame excuse to enter the market with a buggy game. When another FanBoy tells you that they realy care for their player(tester) and are good in fixing quickly. Still the same errors that pested the players from the opening date are nearly all still in. Their way of fixing is it to reduce the max number of players per shard to a laughable amount, so you run through empty terrain most of the times.
The only pvp it has is matchmaking which you can't play with more than 1 friend at a time. When I post about this on the forums all I get is ''OMG YOU WANT TO BASH NOOBS WITH YOUR PRE MADE!'' No I want to play with my friends.
Whole clan quit the next day.
"pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease come back we miss you"
Lol no. That ship has sailed, you guys really should start filing for unemployment.
Exactly, every day is the world alive. There are still people playing. The game is little bit harder for slower player. They feel like its too hard to craft and they don't understand what are the mechanics of game, so they are blaming game that it's not good. The true is, they just didn't try to understand how to play it. It's great and original game and if they have prepared more content and bigger map, I am sure they will have long time runner game. And if not, that would be just prove that people are stupid and have no taste for good game.
What was your battlegear Tier after week of playing? cha cha, 1?
Who cares about PvP? Go play CS with your clan.
I guess you mean my gearpowers i used mostly lv2 with a few at 1 still. I couldn't bring me to farm another 2000 of these dog things for their DNA.
but tell me what changes if you have better battlegear powers. I could solo most team missions any ways if i played a little carefuly. The NPC-AI is very simple. Engineers are hella good in solo play· (I didn't finish this blue key-thingy that needs hundreds of dna samples that you need to counter the cloud.)
Did they increase the zone limit ? I stopped as the limit was 100 players. So if it still at 100 you got all players of your shard at one point
(Truely massive ..)
I would, but I don't want to DL it again. I deleted it off my Computer since FFXIV is going live tomorrow.
Good Luck
