The Scythe on the Amduscias is also pretty good but I don't know if the party will intelligently get the rear bonus damage on it.

Okay, I really don't get the mission difficulty ratings. Level 28 monster with special area effect attacks that wipe out a level 30 character in one shot? Four stars. Level 15 monster that I've been kicking around since I was level 12? Seven stars. I mean I recognize that for every size class above man size you really need to add 5 levels to your estimate of how tough the beast is, but that was really absurd.

Even low level monsters can put up a real mean fight for max level characters sometimes. Test the waters by trying to punch a monster while on foot, if it roasts your rear end sideways in one hit just move on for now.

Has anyone found a mega boss who drops level 60 Skell Suits or what drops the best Dual Guns? Also I'm kind of lost on how the formula works for skell "fuel efficiency up" augments, they say things like "Boosts fuel efficiency by 100% when fighting in a Skell" but what value is "Fuel Efficiency" anyway? I'm firing my Ares mega laser and it costs sliiiiightly less fuel than it normally is supposed to while I'm wearing 250% better fuel efficiency worth of augments on my gear. Oddly enough Phoenix Wings still costs 200 fuel, the normal amount. The mega ares laser cost 1365 instead of the listed 1500. Chakrams cost the listed 50 fuel. Gatlings costs the same listed 200 fuel as well. Starting to wonder if there is some hidden threshold or maybe the Aghasura Cannon does not actually use the fuel it has listed on screen and maybe these stupid augments aren't actually doing anything.

Thanks. jfc THIS GAME there are so many cool hidden little fuckin' places everywhere, I walked into this cave and was like "oh holy poo poo look at this" I was expecting some bland normal cave and NOPE. Caeser is a chump and I can just autoattack him with my skell until he dies, but sadly the skell wear has all manner of random rear end bullshit augs on it and once in a while it'll have Drive: ____ Zombie Defiler fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Dec 16, 2015 |

You can also get the Grenada skell suit from a tyrant close to 406 in Sylvalum. You go toward the giant wall to the south and there's an opening there. Look up and there is a cave halfway up the chasm opening. The tyrant is in the back, hiding in the ground. He's level 75, though, and will crush you if you can't kill him really fast.

So Ares is like buying an alienware laptop versus your regular skell where you can build your own computer. Also could anyone recommend a good build for say, an Amdusias, Inferno, Verus, and the other medium sized skell whose name escapes me.

I also traded up my Inferno for an Amdusias and handed the Inferno down to Alexa and the idiot went and wrecked my badass megazord which had survived tons of tyrants and a good long while against Zu Pharg on my first attempt, 30 seconds into that boss battle.

I'm going to finish up the story to get an easier way to grind up affinity on these ~12 characters I have at 2 hearts. (vague chapter 11 discussion) I think the resolution to the chapter mostly justified it, but in the moment it was terrible. It's an interesting direction to take, but rather idealistic. Sucks to have your agency removed like that though.

And they made your main character so chatty outside of cutscenes. I should try playing with the other voices to see how they compare, personality wise, to the Warrior voice set.

So I'm supposing I should be making augments, now. I just finished chapter 9, thank god. I'm looking at the augments menu though, and it doesn't seem like much is available. Most things are just ???'d out, and the stuff that isn't is missing a bunch of random-rear end drops. What augments are important to get? I know that enemy exploits are always worth getting, but it's a pain in the rear end to go back into the menu to switch out augments whenever I begin to fight a totally new enemy type. Or should I leave worrying about augments 'til after the main game? I also need to increase my revenue. I'm currently making about 50k or so every tick. Is there a way to push that number even higher? Armor is starting to get expensive, not to mention Skell gear  I also don't know where to get more research probes aside from randomly getting them from treasures 'n poo poo. Can they be bought?EDIT: I'm also wondering if I shouldn't be figuring out a different way to get armor. I want more greens and blues. How do I get them? In the original, you got them as drops off of high-level, unique enemies - I sometimes see that happen here, but not as much. I haven't gone after many tyrants, though, maybe that's the problem?

The huge pauses between dialogue lines are awful. The lack of effort put into the character acting and shot composition really hurts too, after the first game did incredibly well with those aspects. If I'm spending most of my time in cutscenes spinning the camera around for visual stimulation, that's a bad sign. The fact that the player is even allowed to do this during major story sequences makes it feel like nobody cared about those parts.

My infinite overdrive dual guns and lightsaber build hit fruition and holy poo poo is overdrive intense when you get it to last longer than 10 seconds. Its a babby training wheels build but that just makes it slow and steady I guess.Pollyanna posted:So I'm supposing I should be making augments, now. I just finished chapter 9, thank god. I'm looking at the augments menu though, and it doesn't seem like much is available. Most things are just ???'d out, and the stuff that isn't is missing a bunch of random-rear end drops. Enemy exploit and accuracy are the lowest effort intro to skell mods and will do you for a while. You don't need to do a ton of exploit augment juggling if you don't want, if you try and fight something big and need bigger hits, set up the augments, or don't and ignore it. The easiest way to get gear is to strap a Phoenix to an Amdusias with some humanoid and mechanoid exploit mods and maybe a ranged accuracy mod, and flying it into an enemy camp and blowing it the gently caress up. There's drop tables for different enemies for specific types of gear I think but some cool intergalactic level 50 skell gear at least seems fairly uniform and its not like blowing up entire camps is a huge burden.

Most things are just ???'d out, and the stuff that isn't is missing a bunch of random-rear end drops. Money: Place your sightseeing probes on locations with 2 sightseeing points you've discovered. Slam down more probes, the answer is almost always get more probe locations. I'm pulling down 113,480 right now, and I was pulling in more than that (approx 160k) before I changed my setup to focus on miranium storage. if you have duplicator probes you can set them up connected to sightseeing probes (even if they aren't all on 2s, even 1 sightseeing spot plus a duplicator is fine) and make a ton of money by linking a duplicator and a booster. Armor: Gonna assume you are not level 60 yet, and since you want greens/blues you haven't maxed out your arms manufacturers? Get them all to 5, especially Sakuraba. They will start selling you Prime gear (yellow) but the topmost tier (orange: Intergalactic) comes from rare rear end drops. Augments: Get a mix of Mechanoid/Humanoid slayer XX for ganglion story fights, they are almost all easy to make. Just focusing on Mechanoid slayer XX at first is a solid choice since giant robots are so common. Make sure you have mining probes getting you Marine Rutile for augs. Consider an EXP XX augment for each of your party members, it makes grinding into the next tier of Skell much faster. TurnipFritter posted:Boy my pals sure do run through their skell fuel real quickly. Should I just be leaving staggered enemies alone so my party members can bind them for fuel regen or? NPCs suck rear end at conserving fuel and this is why I stopped buying them their own skells and focused on just kitting out my own and letting those stooges walk. If they have shields/buffs they will activate them and waste fuel EVERY FIGHT regardless of how dangerous the foe is.
