I tried talking to Eleanor about blade ranks and she just has the normal conversation topics. I want mechanical 2 already, game! (still at the start of chapter 3 though if that matters) Do I get it later?

Yeah, just clear chapter 3 and then you can get the rewards for your blade level.

MY DOODOO IS SPRAYING OUT
I like how this game looks better than Fallout 4. Someone needs to be fired over at Bethesda

Really enjoying this so far aside from some of the corny rear end music and tiny text making me blind

Oh and having to use the gamepad to see a map or fast travel is kind of annoying

The tiny text is perfectly readable on the game pad, switch to off tv for a second to read it then switch back. Also division rewards open up from the start of ch 3.

You can't really make a squad yourself. It's kind of like how Splatoon worked before they added private lobbies, you see a list of friends who are in game and can choose to join whatever squad they're in. So far, I haven't seen more than two people in my list in the same squad, everyone's been spread out.

What classes are y'all, I'm doing the dual gun thing and want to try out the sniper rifle branch when I get there. Its pretty cool. Kinda curious how the shield class and the fenced/galactic knight class feel.

Galactic Knight is hella fun. Your lightsaber skills charge up really fast and do a buttload of damage while your psi-cannons have some nifty effects that proc off Auras'.

Also you get a Lightsaber and two floating laser cannons so...

Map stuff happens there once you get a little further in. There's a lot of stuff, like fast travel, you need the gamepad for.

I'm going with psycorrupter. I usually like playing support/debuff classes. I figure I can master that branch so that I can keep the knife with it's large number of arts when I start something else.

How do you unlock new Arms Merchants? I've put plenty of miranium into the Sakuraba and Grenada, but I don't want to put anymore into them because I'm not high enough level to wear the stuff I'm unlocking.

Thanks for the input... Might end up going galactic knight, I'm still undecided. Really glad you can switch on the fly!

Motto posted:

A combo is using arts in succession. So an effect like "double damage in a melee combo" means performing that art after a melee art.

Is there a grace period, like can you autoattack a bit in between arts, or is there any indication you combo'd successfully?

I haven't used these arts yet, but usually when you fulfill a condition like hit from the side the damage numbers have a pointy outline so maybe look for that?

having gotten some practice with it, yeah you've got a few seconds of room to combo arts. and the damage numbers will a be in a sort of starburst window if you got the combo.

Enforcer right now, going into Psycorruptor later. Rayguns are awesome and having debuffs to throw around is the best.

I'm a galactic knight and when I get my melee combo lined up I just melt enemies. My teammates are pretty much just decoys at this point.

Is there an indicator or a way to know when it's yourself that needs to start the arts combo? Usually I just wait to see my teammates call out something but sometimes they never do and then I'll be the one to start the chain.

The game has its hooks in me. If I have any complaints, it would have to be the input lag; just unfortunate in that even playing only on the gamepad doesn't get rid of it.

Also maybe I should stop being so sensitive because I'm not going to stop playing this any time soon.

The combat in this is so much better than watching the preview videos made it seem. I'm not sure why I'm surprised, it's just an evolution of the system in Chronicles.
