"This is no ordinary poster boy!
No ordinary poster!"
New DX released, here's the preview

E:

Unusual posted:


Continuing with lazy as gently caress updates both sides share a suit, we finally get the geara zulu, they get the Jegan. The hizack's seem like they'll get a mk2 shotgun type of weapon, could be interesting but since they're all 320 cost I don't have any hopes for them.

Lazy yeah, but they're worth the cost I think. Both suits have a decent shot at beating the 360 cost fed assault meta which seems to be a lot to ask of 320+ class suits lately.

Silver Geara Zulu's can get sturm fausts and those hit as hard as the F types typically reserved for heavies or 340 cost HMT gelgoog. Stats are above average for 320 cost except homing which is 273. Guess they don't want you to fix your shield too quickly, Jegan has the same problem and has Gyan style needle missiles :laugh: so of course its inferior to the Geara Zulu.

Gold Hi-Zack has solid ranged answers to everything but has weak sniper stats like you'd expect (Boost cap is unusually good though). Silver High-Zack is still good but can't play like an actual sniper, the only gun past 1400 range is the irradiation gun :smith:. Only b3 cannon is worth using out of the cannon options which are otherwise just gelgoog cannon mirrors, dps and reload is good though.

The beam launcher "shotgun" is just silly, occasionally you get the full shotgun pellet damage at 500m or more (This gun can hit things up to 1km away if ranged traited using N type)... and it gets beam shooter bonuses so no spray shooter trait redundancy.

Also this week has extra rewards if you play daily, not bad for just playing super casual

My life has been largely occupied by fallout 4 and, in a few days, will be completely consumed by monster hunter X.

Still I'll try to do 1 game a day this week for the easy DXs.

Well I tried the Silver zulu since i put in a single DX for one, It's a pretty great suit, the Sturms coupled with the melee it gets is basically a free kill most of the time. The Jegan looks like it's just a Gyan but 20 cost lower, which is kind of hilarious.

High mobility brawler suits are my thing and nothing else in this game really interests me. I love being able to go into a 1v2 or even 1v3 in a kampfer and knowing i have a good chance of killing them all by outplaying them. Once i get my third kampfer from level up and finally pull a tetra my loadout will probably permanently be 3xkampfer 1xtetra for forever, pumping daily play tickets into deck cost extensions.

That being said, the giant open ocean map and the full space maps are the bane of my existence. 100% missle/beam spam means no brawling opportunity. My points per game drop to like half or a third on those.

been having to work tons of overtime this past week and next week looks to be the same. I'm hoping for something big with the "z project" update but I'd imagine we should just expect the usual poo poo 1-2 new units for each side like every other update

I suppose you could use the funnels to gently caress with snipers/artillery if they have the range.

e: Serious answer, it's fast. REALLY fast. 1423 speed, same as the Kampfer. Also, since all of it's weapons are internal, you can do quick switch shenannigans. I would suggest ignoring a beam saber and going with whichever two beam guns are your favorite, plus funnels.

It gets the MK2 8 pellet shotgun, albeit a beam version, so if you roll spray shooter you're good there, if you roll beam shooter you have a bunch of gatlings to use, including a dual gatling option. the funnels aren't super great at shooting someone actively dodging, but it seems like if you use them while moving in they can be decent.

The funnels are pretty much garbage. The beam guns are fairly good though. That being said the Qubeley is definitely a mid-range skirmisher. It also has no bazooka or really, any reliable means of knockdown at long range.

the funnels are pretty meh but I think the most disappointing thing about the queb is the lack of a HQ FA beam rifle. I've tried the shotgun out on it and I'm not sure what it is but it just has a weird spread on it it doesn't travel out much like the hizacks before spreading. could be I'm just not used to it.

made a 2nd queb >_> another quick reload FML

Don't even bother is the real answer, but if you want to try, you right click to start the lock, and every segment of that bar that fills up is a funnel that will fire when you left click afterwards (you have to keep the enemy in that circle the whole time, with no cover between you.

How do you manage to gently caress up funnels? A concept that literally every single other gundam game has used just fine.

Yeah it seems hosed up that the funnels are super terrible, they kind of just float in the air for a full two or three seconds before firing sometimes, just staying still and doing nothing.

if u can roll for a beam shooter its pretty viable, the shotgun trait isn't bad either

with beam shooter u get a pretty solid knockdown beam which u can follow up with a stronger alex wrist gatling.

Hmm I've been missing this game so I finally reinstalled it and started messing around. So much has changed I feel a bit lost trying to figure out the additions. Space combat wasn't even a thing when I last played and now there's all kinds of new features. I have a few million gp which still seems pretty worthless as a currency and now there are even more weird gasha tickets and other currencies. Welp. If I stay on more than a few games I'll try to sync up with any goons still playing.

gently caress, so out of 5 games I've been in the bottom 10 on all 5 of them. I used to be able to be fairly competitive even with the SMG the repair zakus have, but now I seem to be throwing spitballs while getting owned in 2 shots. Not sure what changed, but drat I suck now.

You're getting wrecked because of power creep, essentially. Remember how happy you were when you snagged a Gelgoog out of the gacha? Yeah. Gelgoogs arn't worth poo poo anymore.

Instead of going on the offensive, find a point and stay near it.

Oh drat. Suits don't have inherent weapon stats so do newer suits have access to new/better weapons or is it just an armor disparity? Any suggestions on new suits to update my 2/2 support/assault build? I'll check what I currently have, but it wouldn't be newer than gen 2/3 gasha mechs.

I have about 4k BC still to spend and 25 DX gasha tickets, but only a few of the daily tickets. I like the looks of the worker zaku for support but it costs 30 of those fuckers.

Nah people still do really well (top 5 in gold matchmaking regularly) with cheapo 200-260 cost suits. Just ask mr. polar in game. I also see some top pubbie players run 2x cheapest zaku heavies.

Also you can straight up buy many blueprints with GP now. Some cheap suits are very affordable even as gold.
