balance change notes are out
http://msgo.bandainamco-ol.jp/event/20141128/

most units got a hp increase, a small few got loading capacity buffs

almost all damage across the board for machine guns and beam rifles and the weaker bazookas were increased

there are from what I can see next to no nerfs on any units instead the only nerf I could see is if your unit didn't get an hp increase then it got nerfed since damage for most weapons was increased

also something about the knock down balance is getting changed too, and dash melee attacks are 3x now or some poo poo and units like the efreet and pixie their dash attacks are only 2x instead of 3x

I need to start using my Gouf Custom again.

EDIT: Why did they buff the Alex even further, this is going to suck so much when the event ends :negative:

They buffed the stuff no one usees the vulcans and the FAF beam. Arguably the beam is probably on par wit the tgatling now....

Got you, sorry for the delay been very busy with work. Dom Tropen is pretty solid for 300 cost (Use D type melee and bazooka F/sturms), and will only be better when 0083 hits. The MMP80 hits almost as hard as the Alex gatling after the rebalance :getin:.


CassiusW posted:

Hey guys. Deployment's over and I'm back in Japan. How are things on the Zeon front?
Good to have you back, games going to be a lot more interesting after the 0083 patch. I wouldn't say 0080 was kind to Zeon but it was fun and we won most of our battles.


randombattle posted:

It has to be people just farming wins on Zeon or something. I refuse to believe that the zeon pubbies are just that good.
I know from playing with Al Borland last week that Feddy pubbies(Yes, even the gold ones) are just that bad if the match is trimmed down to "mirror" suits :laugh:


Al Borland posted:

Yes, this is exactly the case. Alex didn't get any buffs for suit stats or main weapons (Bazooka F, Arm gatlings). I guess beam shooter Alex with FAF may replace the arm gatling.

Some notable things to me:

EXP suit system. Fly in your favorite suits often and get customization benefits for them (Better odds for upgrades, more colors(!), etc)

Melee is going to be super powerful now, suits with a single boost attack deal 3x damage(Used to be 2x. On paper, Zaku II Kai deals 3600 damage if non-combat custom with the charge hawk now...) while suits that do 2-3 boost attack combos(Fred and Ifrit/Nacht...) deal 2x. O type weapons are going to be finally viable for getting kills, not even the Alex can resist them when it gets hit.

One of the big things that will make Hridolfr and Zock more viable (On top of giving them near 3000 armour when customized) is that they'll be harder to wince, since they're upping the threshold for wince for suits that can't be knocked down. No more beam spray guns stunlocking your favourite fat suits. I think Melee and big attacks like the Alex bazooka and sturm fausts will still stagger them though.

Units with stealth can now stealth while attacking (Gogg and Nacht).

Units with built-in shield weapons can block while attacking (GM Guard Custom vulcans and Gyan). Maybe there's a good reason to steal the Guard Custom over the Power GM now?

Rebalance isn't perfect but the patch is taking things in the right direction. I was expecting something more unreasonable. I especially like the beam rifle / machine gun buffs, before those weapons were a lot less viable vs the expensive feddy suits(Not just the Alex...)

Oh, that's much better! Thanks for clearing that up.

These balance changes are looking great. Do you think perhaps the current event has been monitored to come up with these changes?

EDIT: I'm not sure about the problem with zeon pubbies. I got bored and melee-charged a giant "siege" of feddies on the Jaburo map, since it was clear neither side was going to budge. Instead of hanging back, most of the players followed me in and ripped apart the federation players in a confusing storm of melee and dashes. Sometimes they'll just sit there and play giant robot counterstrike, other times they pick up on things really well.

I think my problem is I need to use more bazookas, though I really love that Ridden Gelgoog as well. It didn't seem to do as much damage as that purple one a few maps back, but it's easy to lead targets most of the time. Are there any other MS like it? A sniper unit that doesn't require you to be a sitting duck to be effective?

Gelgoog cannon(That purple Gelgoog) is in the GP Gashacon; pretty good value for 320 cost since it's one of the few heavies that can play a strong ranged defense game as well as put up a decent close quarters offense if it comes down to it.

The weapon variety for this suit deserves special mention, you can gear it up to take on anything, gold print even gets a melee weapon. It's quite good now, but in 0083 it will have strong ways to deal all the damage types in the game. Most suits have 2 maybe 3 good weapons, while Gelgoog cannon will have 6. If you show good awareness and have good aim this suit especially is very rewarding.

Ridden Gelgoog cannon is 50 daily tickets, costs 340 but is a bit better in close quarters since it has Dual wield saber option(Will become completely viable vs the Alex when it deals 3x damage in 0083) and better mobility in exchange for slightly less armour/load cap. The exclusive M type beam cannon on it plays a strong mobile-semi-auto-sniper style game, especially when you pair it with the instant switch missiles.

As for vanilla Gelgoog cannon, Beam cannon F can drop flying enemies out of the sky(Provided it doesn't block) then you can follow up with bazooka F/b3 rifle/missiles -> loop back to beam cannon for pretty good damage. The beam cannon can be an effective weapon in close quarters too because you can switch to it instantly.

Like most heavies this suit shines in a group setting, ideally they screen for you: Use people in front of you as bait, keep a good distance/find more bait otherwise. Heavies should be drawn to group battles(especially if it's defense) to setup/take lots of kills and assists.

Polar translated some changes we are getting with the patch thought I'd post them here for anyone that wanted to sift through them and read them
JUMP ABILITY DURING OVERHEAT
[2014/11/28 22:41:58] PolarDash: -We forgot legs can be used to jump. Hitting (default) left shift during overheat will make your suit jump! It'll be a shittier jump than a boost gauge assisted jump.
[2014/11/28 22:42:29] PolarDash: -Suits WITHOUT legs won't get this ability.
[2014/11/28 22:43:25] PolarDash: INGAME COMBAT CHANGES
[2014/11/28 22:44:07] PolarDash: -Countdown to limbo village will be reduced from 15sec to 10sec.
[2014/11/28 22:47:32 | Edited 22:53:18] PolarDash: apparently, deaths added time to this countdown? I didn't know, but they're removing it in this update.
[2014/11/28 22:52:30 | Edited 22:53:25] PolarDash: You can self detonate your downed suit to skip the countdown and go straight to limbo by hitting the action key (default F)
[2014/11/28 22:53:56] PolarDash: -KIll camera view changes.
[2014/11/28 22:55:27 | Edited 22:56:43] PolarDash: The kill cam that shows your killer while you sit in limbo countdown will not show things that aren't displayed on your radar(so that you won't be able to call out an undetected enemy nuke while youre dead watching an enemy run off with it on your kil cam for example). They do not say how they are going to do this.
[2014/11/28 22:57:23 | Edited 22:58:31] PolarDash: -THIS. REPAIR TORCH ADDED FEATURE: They will remove the red boxes. gently caress YES.
[2014/11/28 22:57:56 | Edited 22:58:09] PolarDash: Removing red box tags will give repair guy points!
[2014/11/28 22:58:47] PolarDash: -Commander Abilities cooldown time changes.

[2014/11/28 22:59:22] PolarDash: Minovsky Farts: 120sec to 90secs
[2014/11/28 22:59:36] PolarDash: Carriers: 300secs to 180!secs

[2014/11/28 23:00:54] PolarDash: -Commander Bomber Changes.
[2014/11/28 23:01:30] PolarDash: Carpet Bombing ability cost will be reduced from 100 to 60.
[2014/11/28 23:01:50] PolarDash: Effectiveness of commander bombers will be improved D:
[2014/11/28 23:02:35] PolarDash: -On screen effects from taking damage
[2014/11/28 23:03:16] PolarDash: http://msgo.bandainamco-ol.jp/upload/201411/1417139019b.png
[2014/11/28 23:03:35] PolarDash: http://msgo.bandainamco-ol.jp/upload/201411/1417139018a.png
[2014/11/28 23:05:45] PolarDash: The effect will vary depending on the amount of damage you take. We better get used to looking through1000pts of damage worth of broken glass then.
[2014/11/28 23:06:38] PolarDash: CAMERA ANGLE CUSOMIZATION OPTION
[2014/11/28 23:07:45] PolarDash: -We will add 3 different angles for you to observe your robot butt with, you pervert. You'll be able to change them through the graphics tab in options.
[2014/11/28 23:07:56] PolarDash: http://msgo.bandainamco-ol.jp/upload/201411/1417057501a.png

[2014/11/28 23:09:13] PolarDash: RANK PROMOTION/DEMOTION QUALIFIER/TRIALS CHANGES (MATH)
[2014/11/28 23:09:55] PolarDash: -Massive battle victory bonus points added
[2014/11/28 23:10:47] PolarDash: By winning in massive battle, you will receive a bonus to your game's score.
[2014/11/28 23:12:05] PolarDash: 1) Victory Bonus Score: When you win, you get bonus points equal to this complicated arithmetic:
[2014/11/28 23:13:21] PolarDash: Bonus Pts = Pts Scored x 0.1
[2014/11/28 23:13:58] PolarDash: For Example) if, by the end of the game, you scored 400pts:
[2014/11/28 23:14:51] PolarDash: Team Victory: 400pts x 0.1 = 40ts. 40pts will be added to your accumulated score of 400 for a total of 440 pts.
[2014/11/28 23:15:46] PolarDash: Team Fail: Failures don't get bonuses. 400pts u dishonah famiry!
[2014/11/28 23:19:51] PolarDash: 2) Insurance points? award after a lovely score win?
[2014/11/28 23:22:06 | Edited 23:22:34] PolarDash: If you participated in a massive battle game where your team attained victory but you personally scored a pitiful amount of no points, you will get compensation points toward your rank qualifier quota through this math:
[2014/11/28 23:24:27] PolarDash: Compensation = Total pts needed to qualify x game length / total qualifier time
[2014/11/28 23:26:16] PolarDash: For Example) You are a Taisa. You played a game that lasted 20minutes. In this game, you only managed to score 100pts thanks to alex spam.
[2014/11/28 23:26:39] PolarDash: If your team (somehow) managed to win through the alex spam:
[2014/11/28 23:28:37] PolarDash: To qualify for trials into the next rank (taisa to Junshou) is to get a at least a total of 1600pts within 120minutes(7200seconds) so your compensation points will be:
[2014/11/28 23:29:39] PolarDash: 1600pts x 1200sec(20min) / 7200sec = 267comp points!
[2014/11/28 23:30:08] PolarDash: Not only that, you will get the 10percent victory bonus to the comp pts!
[2014/11/28 23:31:55] PolarDash: 267 x 1.1 = 294pts. Your final comp score after a win
[2014/11/28 23:32:33] PolarDash: IF your team got roflpwned to fail by the alex spam:
[2014/11/28 23:33:58] PolarDash: Your silver tier taisa rear end is gonna keep your 100pts and like it. Failures don't receive compensation. Only on Judge Judy.
[2014/11/28 23:35:43] PolarDash: Note: None of the above affect noobies(black tier). The bonus and compensation points are not calculated toward your weekly ranking points.
[2014/11/28 23:37:35] PolarDash: Other rank related changes:
[2014/11/28 23:38:14] PolarDash: -The number of wins needed to get up to certain ranks will be changed
[2014/11/28 23:39:02] PolarDash: -Changes to minimum total needed to avoid demotion will change in certain ranks
[2014/11/28 23:39:13] PolarDash: -REMOVAL OF INTERVAL NOOOOO

This one is the 50 ticket guy. I don't know if he is worth the 50 which is like almost 10DX tickets you could cash in. So keep that in mind.

If you like the grenade lobber that is also on the default one.

After coming back from a break overseas I was going to get back into it, but reading all these things about how further OP Alex's were getting made me put it off instead.
Now that those changes are coming though, I'll have to play again - I'm assuming I've been booted already (has been more than two months since I last played), so when the patching is all done I'll be re-applying as Katagewa.

Maybe this time round I'll hit top 5 Support instead - last time I played I managed to hit top 20, but couldn't keep it up due to the break mentioned earlier. And maybe with all the free stuff built up in my mail box I'll finally get that green zaku sniper.

Now that those changes are coming though, I'll have to play again - I'm assuming I've been booted already (has been more than two months since I last played), so when the patching is all done I'll be re-applying as Katagewa.

Maybe this time round I'll hit top 5 Support instead - last time I played I managed to hit top 20, but couldn't keep it up due to the break mentioned earlier. And maybe with all the free stuff built up in my mail box I'll finally get that green zaku sniper.

the gelgoog cannon and the gelgoog jaeger are both 2 good suits where the only difference between the silver and gold is the fact that u only have 20 upgrade slots instead of 30

the exclusive weapons on those 2 units are a melee option which is something u shouldn't be using on them at all

Finally managed to get the Gelgoog sniper, and managed to max power his charged beam sniper F. He may be a silver but it's better than not having one at all, as far as I'm concerned.
If I can get my hands on another charged beam sniper suit I can finally ditch my Zaku I sniper.

nice make sure to prioritize getting the gelgoog jaegers HP to max or near max, after doing so u'll be able to survive any other snipers charge F beam unless they happen to get a headshot on you, boost capacity and speed are also good ones to get as well as it'll allow u to reach higher places on some maps

UC0080 is over tonight.


The final battle's score was close.

That makes the grand score 55 wars won for Zeon, 12 wars for the feds.

If you're counting 0080 only, that's 24 wars for Zeon, 4 for the Feds.

Played some 0083, the new movement feels really good.

Oh my god. Bazookas are now a situational thing instead of the only viable weapon. Guns can actually do stuff now. Melee feels like it works way better. Fights consist of giant robots zipping around, dodging artillery fire and shooting at each other, occasionally trying to kill each other with badass melee weapons in crazy dances of death.

This is the most Gundam this game has actually felt in a long time :swoon:

I'm going to comment on this.

2. The gouf custom w animation change is now godlike.

IT used to be a straight forward horizontal whip

now it is a BOOST 360 stun.

:frogsiren:that's right A BOOST 360 STUN.:frogsiren:

This game has like changed overnight holy poo poo they rebalanced the game so fairly now it honestly is amazing.

I have been performing it ofr af ew games now on my advanced gouf custom with the lvl 5 heatrod. Its so loving hilarious to take 5 guys mid air and stun them for like 3 seconds
