Has it progressed from Drop thumper > Defend thumper > Repeat?

Last I checked it out, it was the same routine, but they changed how battle frames advance/level.  This was last year I think.

No idea about now.

There is the default standard frame and 2 advanced frames for each class. Levelling to 40 in the standard frame gets you the tokens to buy and advanced frame. You can also buy unlocks from the in game exchange that people have listed, not sure if that unlocks for use or unlocks to build a new frame.

Thumping is still there, but they have Nerfed the resources it in the latest patches apparently, might be a bug. There are mission boards at each SIN outpost with regional missions, also a main campaign and ARES event missions dotted around the map.

I am playing it a lot to try and level up my engineer before my free 7 day VIP pass runs out and I lose the 25% XP and resources, although you can buy VIP passes in the exchange. 3 days left on mine, so playing it to death.

Once you get the next frame I think it's rinse and repeat gameplay, but I haven't left the main starting map yet, so no idea what's waiting for me in the other maps.

Still trying to get to grips with some of it, the wiki's don't seem to have been updated for the v1+ release.

Resurrecting a thread from 2014 as the newer one got mentioned in the LAN-thread.
Or is there a thread that I've missed?

I've played this a long time ago and started up tonight again. Who's around and is there a clan thingy?
If so, still DuVeL in game.


Also need a new walk through

I started playing this last night with Lib & Sn00ks and I really liked it. Even though I was a 'Level 1' n00b they were able to join me and we spent the night completing missions together. With their excellent guidance I picked up the gist of the game mechanics quickly enough to get into the game without that 'what do I do now' feeling. Recommended.

You can just jump in whenever you want and play any of the basic classes by switching at a battle frame station. The can play 1st or 3rd person.

Missions can be taken from the local job boards (which do contain some story lines) or there are plenty of encounters and random jobs around the area. You often find yourself doing other jobs on your way to a mission waypoint or helping out a fellow player that has been downed.

You have one character, that's it. But that character can wear any of the unlocked frames. You have 5 basic frames that you can access from day 1. You can also change your characters looks at any time, even between male and female.
 
Dreadnaught = Tank
Assault = DPS
Biotech = healer
Engineer = turrets and supplies
Recon = scout

Basic frames give you a taste of the class, but when you get any frame to lvl40 you get pilot tokens which allow you to unlock an advanced frame of any class. Advanced frames are more specialised and by the time you get a frame to lvl40 you should have an idea of what you will unlock. So levelling an Assault to 40 doesn't mean you have to pick an Assault class advanced frame, you can get one of the advanced Recon frames and become a sniper (I recommend the Nighthawk).

Each frame has to be levelled, but you can switch between them at any time you find a common battle frame station/garage. So you may want to play one frame/class solo, then switch to one of a similar level to play in a squad.

Have a read of the battleframes here.

Free 2 play on Steam.

The tutorial is quite manic. The game proper is a bit more relaxed.

Downloaded it... Laptop ran it, but at the bottom of the screen it says "your hardware doesn't meet the minimum requirements"... I'm thinking it doesn't recognise the gfxcard/cpu in the laptop
