It's good to see there is still a goon presence in the game. I abandoned everyone many months ago, but it looks like there have been a great deal of improvements since the early months, so I may see some goons in action once again. Glad my OP didn't go to waste.

Well if you come to shangrila definitely. Otherwise it can be luck of the draw with characters as they have both servers fighting against each other now.

Not a lot of us left but those who are are pretty dedicated. The game has made a lot of HUGE improvements in the past few months. It still isn't perfect but my god did they make it easier to get suits. EX evengs are a lot more generous and the current event is raining monkey tickets and suits.

I got my first DX ticket today! Should I actually use it in the DX gashapon or is it still a "you might not get anything" deal? I also got a master mechanic ticket, for if/when I do get something I want.

EDIT: Also I got a rental Z'Gok from a red crate in the GP gasha. It's pretty awesome, if you like hard-hitting beam weapons and melee. Oh and punching through GMs iconically.

1. Switch servers

We'll have you swimming in DX tickets so you can make it rain.

2: Save for 10 especially with how the new DX is.

10 tickets get you 11 boxes.

I am finally getting kills. This game takes a while to get used to.

No wonder feds run around with laser swords, melee is great. The dozel(?) zaku is solid and good and you get it early.

HAHAHAHAHA
Oh boy, we need to have a sit down and talk about how lucky you guys are you started when you did.

Back in my day we didn't have any melee units that were good. We got a gouf custom rental for 10 battles and that was it.

Protip:
Change your combat camera to senter when meleeing to hit things easier. it shiould be the page up key I think,

E:Dozle Zaku is to commemorate Christmas week to New Years. You can't get them anymore after January 7th. It's a great starter unit for sure.

Farm the hell out of this event guys. Get as far as you can. You won't regret it if you stick with the game. It will make your life a ton easier.

I learned a very :negative: thing about feddies today. They get a suit the pre type GM that I would put on par with the act zaku in terms of performance. They get this suit as a starter and gold prints are basically the equivalent of the Zaku II J heavy unit. This suit is insane. It also gets 10 slots compared to the Acts 4.
The cost is basically 1/4th of an Act Zaku and the reuse time is insanely low.

God drat I hate feddies. They get beam charge rifles like candy on every suit. All we get it on is the Act Zaku. Which I will now be shooting for because holy crap charge beam rifles are the greatest thing ever.

New EX Gashacon has 300 items inside. Aside from the usual DX and Master mechanic tickets, deck cost and garage tickets can be acquired here as well, a first for the EX Gashacon.

That was a lot of fun! Also yeah I got around to messaging a mod about the tag :v:

I made it to the last rank of silver matchmaking today. Still slowly gaining PP but I'm not a fan of how much your PP swings depends on whether you win or lose, since you have so little influence on that. It's pretty brutal if you get a B loss now.

The only way to counter that is it consistently place in the top 5. That's how I lost my gold rank when I went from support to everything actually fun.

Well they still probably will kick you for having an english name. Even telling them to make the federation suck it down got me kicked a few times.

Also I still bet you next balance patch sees a bunch of zeon nerfs. It's too good to believe that they made zeon suits more equal to gundams.

I've never been kicked. They like me though cause I get poo poo done :3:

Oh that laser gun isnt JUST annoying. It murders and that's hilarious. If you see someone go down you can basically act like a pool of death laser piranhas.

That and it is hilarious to out range kill other snipers trying to get a head shot on you only to realize they're out of range.

Yeah I can see it being a lot more potent if you had like a group of 3 people doing it over mumble. Just one felt pretty weak, even on downed enemies.

I remember seeing way back in the day a group of 6 trolls doing this and it was slightly annoying / effective.

Now it would actually be brutal like co-op snipers.

I played this briefly (read: one or two days) a long while ago, but in the past week I've powered through MSG and the first half of Zeta, so I gotta scratch the itch. Hopefully my old account hasn't been wiped, but we'll see after I finish downloading. Has the Goonguild always been on Shangrila?

No there was something on Francesca. Also things have greatly improved over the past year. So you're going to enjoy getting useful units and not being poo poo pushed by the feddies.

We're holding pretty well at 32 active members. We may do some more cuts of inactives so if you have interests keep on playing. 30 makes it easy for us to make money you have basically until Tuesday to login and play a match to ensure you're still with us.

Once our newcomers level up we'll prolly expand to the next tier permanently as we'll be able to make the needs it requires which are pretty retarded.

Whoops I necroed the old thread, hey this is still a thing cool.

We're actually thriving now 30 members on our server. We'd have probably 40/50 or more but we had to cut a few because we need to keep the guild weekly doable. Active members stay in but if you havent played in a month or so we cut you and send a message saying to ask for a reinvite if you come back. That said we have the biggest English speaking guild and we place fairly high every week.

That aside it has improved a lot in a year. Still has some issues but they've done a good job.

I just poured another mil into the Dom Tropen GP box. That makes about 2 mil spent total. I got about 20 red boxes out of the 300 tickets i spent.

99% of them were spray cans.
I got 1 zudah silver print (who gives a flying gently caress? Trash unit).

GJ bandai.

E:
2.5mil now. No additional prints.

That's right kids, 2.5 mil for 1 silver tropen and a silver zudah.
