Our store has the R3 version. Any difference with the R1?

I just got the game and am setting up my character now. Does my Panopticon matter? LA is the closest one to my physical location, but I'm not super crazy about that city. Is it more for timezone/server stuff or actually something that matters in game?

No timezones/server fuckery, pick whatever. Goons seem to be on Houston, but I'm on Tokyo.

I'm still at CODE 2 and I feel that my weapons aren't up to scratch. When I redo the missions in single player, I sortie alone (with my Accessory of course). But when I go online and create a private room, it fills up the slots with AI characters. Is there a way to do the latter without having to connect online? My internet isn't the most reliable.

What's a good mission to grind for panopticon donations? I just got to CODE 4, mind you.

Thinking about how salt is treated as some kind of addictive substance in the game is tickling my funny bone. Kind of wonder why they didn't call it NaCl instead.

Does anyone have a voice cast for the game (avatar voices included)?

Are invasion missions random? I tried fighting a mid 20s Panopticon and it was a difficult rescue mission with a strong Abductor and tons of sinners. Then I fought a mid 30s one and got an easier capture point mission.

When you're browsing missions, hit Select and flick through them and it'll show you what can be on the field in each mission. You can also buy some in the Fuelling Station, but generally just the low-rarity ones.

You still have to remember what materials you need to craft something, though? I wish the game had some sort of "this resource is used for the following:" description.

Does severing parts deal damage or reduce the Abductor's lifebar? I still do it even if I don't have to because it's just insanely fun.

For those who play alone, who are your favorite AI partners? I don't get much benefit from those who have Defense thorns, so I usually roll with 2 Healing and 1 Binding. Which means Matthias, Beatrice, Carlos, Kai, and then Elfriede whom I just got.

I give mine the most fuckoff weapon I could find because they're pretty decent in aiming and they never seem to run out of ammo.

Yeah the trash is kind of a pain. I was focusing on an optional Abductor in a mission and ordered my team to focus fire on it, so enough trash with rocket launchers spawned and suddenly I was the last one standing.

Pulled through by the skin of my teeth by killing enough trash.

Yeah I couldn't donate my goods to my panopticon. Which raises the question, what if you try to donate from the Window offline? Will that sweet GPP be added the next time you donate online, or is it gone forever?

You're going to need a full team of CODE 8 people for those special ops, right?

Tip for the CODE 7 exam: Take Cover in the catwalks along the sides of the level. Long-range fire won't hit you, and the melee enemies will come to you. When they Thorn up I just hit them with my sword (wiped out 4 at once). Just let them come to you.

The auto-revive item has to be activated manually. Good thing I learned before running out in the final boss fight.

Story stuff: I'm more than a little bummed out about Carlos, because ugh. Also that ice cream thing with Sylvia was ~totally anime~

I got a bunch of clothes up for unlock upon reaching CODE 8, some of which are insanely expensive. Are there more?

I talked to Simeon and now I have some new Entitlements in the Interface category. What do these CODE X Sinner Logs do?

Does anyone have a mission they like soloing for entitlement points?

The real money for getting years off your sentence is playing online and doing Invasions or playing the CODE-8 style stuff. 5000 years or 10000 years for a single mission!

I can see that, but my internet usually sucks, and I play while in transit often. I guess I'll try tonight.

What are the Contribution Booster percentage increases?

How do you do Citizen rescue missions? I think I'm doing them wrong, because I keep failing high-difficulty ones. I was trying one Invasion mission alone and the trash mobs kept us all wiped (no Abductors). Should I use the Protect Citizens order for my team and Accessory and just escort them to the point?
