I just wanted to drop by and say I've finally gotten to Farside (yeah, yeah I was taking my time and exploring :p ) .. and whoever put this area together is simply brilliant. There's a ton of really creative and fun elements in this zone that makes it, by far, my most favourite zone.
 
Love that gravity is not the same here, that you run into little gems in hidden corners, that (as a scientist) I can toggle on and off mobs, the humour in the storyline is brilliant, and OMG that space ship quest with the exact change vending machine (I actually howled with laughter while engaged with it -- that whole ship zone was brilliant in itself, if you haven't done it yet, do yourself a favour and make it a priority, it's awesome).
 
So thank you to the creative and mischievious minds that came up with this area, it's really really well done! :)

			I want to like this thread more than humanly possible. Farside is the best.

Chua loved zone too.

			Farside is Far Out, Man.

I climbed to the top of the biggest rock, afk'ed there for a bit(so I wouldn't get randomly attacked).  When I got back, I said "Weeeee!!!" and jumped off of it and watched myself float serenely down, and died from fall damage when I landed :huh:   
Other than that, I absolutely love Farside, I end up spending a lot of time there just jumping around and floating :D

The surface of Farside is my favorite area too. The Bio-Domes I could take or leave, but Fatalis Fields is wonderful. I go there just to chill out.I only wish I had a Settler character that could go there, because there's a dearth of them for my faction/server.All that being said, there are a couple things I'd like to see happen with regard to the surface area:
Debug the Farside Food Truck! I haven't seen it in a while (see above my comments on Settlers) but last I knew the food (and thus the Achievement) wasn't working.
Make the Settler Perk for the area last longer, and easier to unlock. In fact, they should probably just combine it with:
Fix the meteor turn in system! The idea is fine, just one small problem, every time I've played Farside, I was capped on reputation before I got to the surface. Collecting and turning in Meteorites was pointless, I just end up deleting them after doing the Challenge. Consider combining them with the Settler buff and giving them a small cash value, or get really creative and change the Settler buff to a special vendor that takes Meteors, and sells decor, crafting supply bags, or other stuff.

			Another me too. I was blown away buy the canyon in the NNE that is totally dark all the time. Freaked me out walking through there with just my helmet lights.	
----
			ITs been so long since I've leveled through farside I forgot the fun of all of these haha.  May have to finally brush the dust off my level 5 alt.  	
----
			Yeah, Farside was an absolute reward after the frustrating experience that was the desert biodome.  (No more heat counter for simply being in an area!)	
----
			I loved Farside. Less biodome and more low-grav zone would be better though. Hopefully further content will take us back there.	
----
			
Sign me up for more of the low grav area, less of the biodomes.  Loved Farside.
 
Plus that Derelict Silo bit in the corner was pretty good too.

			Ohh and also +1 me for Farside moon zone.  The jungle dome was ok but not super great.  I hated the desert dome because they reused that same guitar background music that they had for Algoroc/Exile zones and i hate that tune.  Farside moon BGM is kinda relaxing, and then there is the moonjumping too.

You must have done something different from me, because i jump from really really high places all the time and i dont take fall damage there.  Are you walking off the ledge or you actually jumping? maybe try mounting up too and then jumping off.
----
			I really hope the Halon Ring area feels like a continuation of Farside when it finally hits live.

I  spent about 45 minutes treating the  ship crash site as a skate park for my hoverboard. I started out doing the quest collecting the crystals  but then... I just didn't stop.
----
			
Took me awhile to get use to it , but I have found it is one of my favorite areas as well.
 
@Jerus I did same thing. I should have been leveling and spent my time on my hb . I loved it even after I was done with the quest.	
----
			
Olivar, you're on MY tower!
 
I jumped off it once on a hoverboard, no damage. I jumped off it once on foot, lost half my healthbar. I jumped off the control deck in the derelict silo and DIED, but it was still fun because it's Farside!
 
As a zone it's mechanically very cool, not counting Domes 3/4, but then you add in the music too... Let's just say that a big part of the atmosphere for me is the backing tracks chosen to accompany areas of the world. Fatalis Fields is the best zone score I've run into since Auroria, and when it cuts out for the dark suit-lit trench things do get creepy. Bringing it back for the actual derelict silo itself was surprising, given how nasty things are in there, but it helps lend the place a solemn, sad air.
 
 
And after reading the two cubes I found in the Silo? By the Scions, Nazrek was such a (very negative offensive word here! He doesn't deserve to be a Cupcake.)

			Farside is indeed the superior zone. Sad that alot of my friends skipped it and went to Wilderun to level.

@jerus: Crystals? Oh you mean the shipwreck area out in the zone? Yes that's fun, too. I meant, rather, the zone-in adventure ship area with the hallucinations. I have never laughed so much playing a game. It's simply brilliant. If you haven't done that zone-in, I highly recommend it. :)

			They should turn farside into a daily quest zone in the future.	
----
			Not fond of Farside at all.  Mob density too high with a super high respawn rate.  Too graphics intensive compared to other zones (more polygons in denser proximity).  Bogs my machine down a bit when I have to go there. :\	
----
			
It's one of my favourite zones as well. Spent far too much time just jumping around and exploring and admiring scenery.
 
And don't even get me started on that jumping/elevator challenge/discovery section in the Silo - almost had a heart attack at some point. :D

 :D YAY! more love here for this zone.
 
 
 
 
 
 
It is the greatest zone!! I missed my massive double tap jumps when I moved on, was so much fun. And yeah I climbed the massive tower too, felt so accomplished  :wub:

When i saw that i laughed, then realised....
 
 
 
 
Btw that's an Aurin Matria with the Elder tree as supported by ingame lore.

			Farside is amazingly fun.  The only problem with the zone is that it looks pretty dull.  I don't let that get to me though, as I zoom around on my hoverboard being a punk and aggroing everything just to flip them off as I double jump into infinity.

----
			Derelict Silo and the Farside surface are amazing. I love the atmosphere, the music, the low gravity implementation. It's really fantastic indeed, and whoever was responsible should get some mega kudos.	
----
			
Yup. The surface portion of Farside was great. I too hope Halon Ring has more stuff like this. Shiphand missions and things like Farside surface make the game really feel sci-fi, whereas a lot of the rest doesn't so much. Nice mix, but would certainly like more.
 
Also more Ikthian stuff. Love them as enemies. Actually hoping a future drop has some large Ikthian invasion or something. I'd be much more excited about that than Strain. :)

			If players should be making any demands, it should be more Farside. Nexus is a dual ring planet. Lets make use of all that fantastic space!

Farside was awesome, my favourite zone, with Wilderun and Malgrave sharing a distant second place.
I even liked the Bio-Domes.
I sometimes travel to ikthian occupied eldan ruins  just for the variant of the cold science theme that plays there.
There should be a daily quest hub on Farside. Maybe even a variant of the derilict silo where your vision is limited to your flashlight cone.

Farside the best snow because of the quest line that screamed alien movie :D

I loved Farside. Less biodome and more low-grav zone would be better though. Hopefully further content will take us back there.

Retraction:
 
I actually finally got to Farside proper tonight.  I was confused by the Biodomes being "Farside".
 
My previous post was about my experience with the first Biodome.
 
The second wasn't as bad and Farside surface was pretty fun.
 
I agree with those that mentioned the interesting gravity and nature of the surface of Farside.

We still have the jupiter moon to explore. I think Zin mention ICKY FISH PEOPLE there.
----
			I must not have gotten to the good parts of Farside yet. I see so many people saying it's awesome, but so far I have not experienced anything different than other zones. I just got to Bio-Dome 4.

You haven't. There are 2 bio domes to play through, then you go onto the surface, and eventually into a failed Bio Dome. The final areas are what we most enjoy.

			Low grav Farside (site bravo) is for sure entertaining as hell. I just wish they'd fix that one quest where you get in a space ship and chase down another space ship and try to shoot it out of the sky. And...you can't. Pretty please fix it.. ? :)

			So I am in the low-grav part of Farisde now and I'm still not seeing the appeal. Is it just the extra-bouncy jumps people love? Or are the quests supposed to be something special?Don't get me wrong, I'm having fun, I just sincerely don't see what the hype is about. XD	
----
			Spaceship battles as well as a cut scene about a super weapon at work.	
----
			I agree that Farside is one of the best zones, but as a solo player. Nothing is shared when you group with people so you have to take so much more time to complete the quests. Went through it once with a group, once solo and again with a group. Will never go to that zone with a group again.
