Xrd is occupying a lot of my time now so hopefully I get a chance to play again soon. Because apparently I can't have enough anime in my life.

It's really intense in XH, but once the novelty wears off, it'll probably start to feel tedious. My groups failed the first one, A ranked the second. Weak Bullet is totally critical to winning, so if you don't have enough main/sub Rangers for 100% uptime, it's much harder to clear. It's kind of a pain as melee, though daggers and dual blades really shine for their aerial fighting ability. Having a vertical gap closer is really, really good for this fight. I ran it as Hu/Br, and I found Guilty Break and Over End extremely useful for the hang time. It got me thinking about using Nova Strike for those weakpoints with the little platforms that come out, since you'd run less risk of clipping through and falling off/having Magatsu walk through you, but the lack of super armor means eating poo poo and losing DPS if you get winged mid-animation. I have always been terrible at platforming, though. I also got jack poo poo for drops, but that's nothing new.

since the current AC scratch has the Add Class (Techer) item in it, I should grab one and see how much the Bal Rodos rifle is and craft it into techer-dom for the "usless without 11 other people" Te/Ra build

I'm glad I did the first 27 crafts for 7-9* melee weapons back when crafting first came out and I thought grinding out achievements was a good idea and not a huge waste of money.

I gave Magatsu a roll this morning. Honestly the biggest issue was sheer DPS. Oh well. Does Magatsu have its own set of units?

Why are Cast parts so drat expensive anyway? I mean, lots of non-Cast costumes are too, but for Casts even off-the-shelf stuff is like 200k each, and anything else starts at like 600k.

a lot of the older parts have been trashed for AC recycle items, leaving only the expensive stuff left.

Yeah, ironically, casts are the least played race, so a lot of their costume poo poo, especially male only, goes straight into the compactor at the recycle shop, since it would just hang around your My Shop for days otherwise. The last survey showed that a large majority of characters are female space elfs, so anything they can't wear is going to be recycle fodder.

Yeah, I am playing with my secondary character for now (trying ranger/braver, going for max weak point damage), and he's a male cast. No costume parts, go home. edit: piercing shell sure is awesome compared to what it looks like. It goes pew, same as any other shot, but then wrecks poo poo. If only it was like the auger in Resistance and did more damage the more things it went though... Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Dec 19, 2014 |

The coolest character i ever saw was a male Cast who was basically the "anthropomorphized" form of the ship from psx classic Square game Einhander. It was pretty fuckin' sick Definitely a more interesting concept and more effort than Bikini Anime Babe

The last survey showed that a large majority of characters are female space elfs, so anything they can't wear is going to be recycle fodder. This was actually one of the big things that led to me playing the game less, since I really love the male CAST costume pieces but in order to afford it I had to continuously log on and TACO every day. Really burnt myself out by playing anime robot dude dress-up. I kinda wish they'd make older CAST poo poo easier to get instead of just giving us re-releases and recolors randomly. My inventory can't take it.

The whole system for casts kinda sucks. There's more customization, sure, but needing three rare cash shop items that are only usable by a single race is way out of whack. My support partner is a male cast, and he's using all stock parts, because to hell with paying through the nose for something purely cosmetic on a crap sidekick character. It ought to work like accessories and come in sets of three, so you can mix and match pieces from any of the sets you own.

Just going back and looking, it's been over half a year since I stopped playing and only two cast outfits have been added during that time period. What the hell. At least the most recent one looks cool as hell I guess.

ThePhenomenalBaby posted:If you put effort towards it Casts truly are the raddest race Pretty much this. Quick question since I haven't played for a bit. Does the Shoulder Shield accessory that came form scratch a while back go on the opposite shoulder of the Freeva shield? The Freeva set looks like it has one built in so I'm not sure. Also how many times do I have to sacrifice myself to the TACO gods (or other ways of getting meseta) in order to get a Grandia cape?

AndyAML posted:TACOs have been changed with the Episode 3 update. Each order is worth more now, but you can only get rewards from Clotho once a week. It's less money overall, but a lot less draining on your sanity. A full set will get you about 1.1m, assuming you take all the relevant orders and clear at least one Time Attack on Super Hard mode. In addition, Clotho has new Extreme Quest orders that reset once a week as well, netting you 800k for clearing 5 Extreme Quests, plus you only end up spending 2 XQ passes in total since each one gives you a free XQ pass. Daily Orders have been revamped too, and there are always a few big ticket orders daily worth about 100-130k, sometimes even getting 250k orders to defeat Bal Rodos. Finally, an update earlier this week bumped up money drops from enemies/boxes in exchange for not dropping as many junk items with no affixes, so you'll be getting more money from just playing the game as usual. That sounds so much nicer. I actually just couldn't bring myself to keep playing because of daily TACOs back during episode 2. Really glad they re-hauled that.

Yeah, since having something like 6M around the start of Ep.3, I saved up to a high of around 28M a couple weeks ago before I splurged 12M on 11 star weapons and affixing, just from doing dailies and time attacks. It adds up really fast if you don't feel the need to constantly buy big ticket costume stuff.

I don't remember how much I quit with, but I was having lovely luck with getting guld milla to drop back then for my gunner so I just splurged on finishing off upgrading a surukurai. Other than that most of my money was spent towards accessory unlocks or (why do I do this to myself) room song tracks. I think getting into a habit of tracking what accessories and songs I didn't have is probably what killed me more than the costumes lol.

Weird. I always thought 200k was the floor price for any AC scratch item because of the recycle shop. It does suck for CASTs since they have to buy 3 pieces to get a full outfit (four if you include the super-expensive head!) while everyone else only buys one. Alas, it'll probably never change since a vast majority of the playerbase are all lolis.

My level 3 one says 0.5% I can't ever seem to heal more than 30 HP in one shot, so the 50 cap is not that relevant for now. The gun's pointless now. To be honest, with the neutering of S-Roll JA (a good thing) and the lack of any real compensation for power on PAs (a bad thing) gunner's probably the least played mainclass right now.

I have been playin around on Gunner since it was the 2nd to last class for me to take to 75, (saving Force for last but exp I earned from es has already gotten it to 72  ) and so far TMGs don't really feel that bad.they sure as hell are a lot more fun to use now that it is more than just roll>pa>roll>same pa> roll again>still that one pa Aerial Shooting > Satellite Aim is fun to do, maybe slap Elder Rebellion at the end for the things you just blew away or to use instead of Aim by using a basic after Aerial instead of Aim. Reverse Tap > Shift Period is another winner; heck I think Tap's damage has seen a good buff too. Infinite Fire has seen better days, but it is still good for dealing damage while repositioning or closing the gap for another PA like Messiah Time. but Dead Approach is pretty loving amazing at getting you into Zero Range now that it is a stun instead of a knockback. I have been following that up with Bullet Squall with rather surprising results. I can't say the same for ol' Heel Stab though; I haven't seen it do much that has wowed me recently  EDIT: wow what was I thinking Aerial Shooting > Bullet Squall is the way to go NextTime000 fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Dec 19, 2014 |

Well, my character simply stopped accepting any clicks or keypresses. Already restarted the game and my computer, still rooted in place. It starts up and logs me in no problem, but all I can do is move the mouse to look around.
