Yeah we’re all pretty much right there with you.

Just learned that apparently there’s some sort of effect if you put 5 parts with the same Active Word Tag.

Edit: Ah, what it does is in the description for the equipment. Mostly small buffs. Neat.

I am delighted to correct myself! I had Harry in one of my NPC units with the four-star Gundam beam rifle, and he UNIVAAAAAAAASEd when he activated Last Shooting. gently caress yes, Harry!

When my EN rebuilds I'm gonna try him out in my main to see if he'll do it for fin funnels or the Beam Javelin special move.

E: he doesn't. So maybe only for rifle specials.

Yeah, I think last time something like this happened the apology harobux came at the next refresh time. Also, guessing this whole thing was caused by Arena in some way so they shut it off. Sucks for me because now I can't complete my daily quests to get those 20 harobux :smith: Hopefully they'll give us something eventually.

The touch detection while I'm running this game is certainly interesting. It's consistently registering about a finger width high so when I put my finger on the arms it selects the head. I did just get a new phone, but it's the only app that's doing this.

Sucks about Arena being closed, I was enjoying the 1v1 modes even when I'd get Last Shooting-ed into the loving ground after knocking off 80% of the thing's health. There doesn't seem to be any way to dodge that, or maybe I'm just bad.

Here’s the issue details they released:

quote:


Follow-up on Server Connection Issues and the Arena Suspension
Thank you for playing GUNDAM BATTLE: GUNPLA WARFARE.

From around 08/08/2019 1:00 PM (PDT), the game experienced a significant slowdown due to high player traffic resulting in players being unable to play Missions or the Arena normally, and errors such as being returned to the title screen.
To assist in managing high traffic and lighten the server load, we have suspended the Arena.
We sincerely apologize for the Arena currently being made unavailable and for the ongoing in-game errors, and will be sending out compensation packages to players as an apology for the inconvenience.

▼Apology for the Suspension of the Arena▼
The Arena was suspended as of 08/08/2019 4:50 PM (PDT) to help manage issues caused by high player traffic.
As a result of this, players will be unable to claim their Arena Daily Rewards for the previous day’s results.
Details regarding the re-opening of the Arena and our progress in resolving the slowdown issue will be posted in a new Notice when available.

We apologize for the suspension of the Arena, and will be sending the following items to players as compensation.
*There may be a delay before your items are delivered.

■Compensation Details
80 Arena Coins
800 Haro Chips
600,000 Capital
5x EN Recovery Strong

■Users Eligible for Compensation
All players who started the game prior to 8/9/2019 1:59 AM (PDT)

■Claim Period
Until 8/16/2019 7:59 AM (PDT)

▼Apology for Time Taken to Resolve In-Game Issues▼
We are currently working on re-opening the Arena and improving server stability.
However, until these issues are resolved, we anticipate that there will be cases, such as when numerous players are attempting to connect at the same time, where service will be unstable.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and will be sending the following items to players as compensation.

■Compensation Details
150 Haro Chips
*Sent daily for 6 days.

■Distribution Period
8/9/2019 (PDT) – 8/14/2019 (PDT)
*Items will be sent at 7:00 PM (PDT) each day.
*There may be a delay before your items are delivered.

■Users Eligible for Compensation
All players who started the game prior to the item delivery time (7:00 PM (PDT)) each respective day during the claim period.

■Claim Period
Until 8/16/2019 7:59 AM (PDT)

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by these errors, and thank you for your patience while we are preparing to announce the re-opening of the Arena.

Edit: it’s still pretty broken, I can’t even exchange coins right now. :smith:

Same, I know it's not fixed yet, but every once in a while I get an action to complete so I guess I just gotta keep trying...

Edit: Managed to log on to get my daily stuff but still pretty much unplayable. Really hope they fix it soon, this much downtime so early in a game can really turn people off of it.

I'm mean, I'm pretty sure that this is a joke, but unfortunately I've played enough MMOs in the past to realize that, no, it probably isn't. Game companies are usually exactly that competent. I'm even more sure of it after playing New Gundam Breaker.

Something I just noticed and might be worth watching out for: in the photo mode, under Select Pose, there's a button at the bottom marked "Modify Parts". I haven't seen that it does much for most items, but on the Nu Gundam legs on my main, it reveals little glowing psycoframe windows like on the Ver. Ka. MG. Not useful, maybe, but neat. And probably hinting at Unicorn down the line.

Kinda feels like EN costs are really, really high. 45 EN for one Very Hard event run. 20 EN for a Ch5 mission. I've only got 66 energy at L23 (I'm lazy and not playing as frequently as I could be), but I'm constantly hitting EN walls now that I don't level up before running out of EN. I generally save energy restoration items for 'Have to grind an event hard', not general play. FFBE NRG is Level+40 until L100, when you get 1 NRG per 2 levels, so in early game, it's about the same as FFBE, but late-story missions cost 15 NRG, while early missions will cost less than 10. Top-difficulty event missions cost 40, but you're probably not going to be doing those reliably for quite a while unless you whale hard; meanwhile, I can auto through the Very Hard event in GBGW with a meh Gundam.

I also discovered that Capital costs for upgrading are a lot higher than I expected. Usually the 'gold' currency in these games accumulates so rapidly and things cost so little you can basically ignore them until you hit the endgame moneysinks.

If you complete the full story mode it makes you a high enough level that you can have a good bit of EN, but yeah 45 for the Very Hard is pretty extreme. Story mode also gives you a ton of EN restoring items, and you should have a fair bit of 100%s from all the downtime, but it's hard to justify using those when your EN max is so low. There isn't really a good answer to your problem other than, you probably won't get everything in this event, but you should be up to speed by the next one.

I added some people from the gunpla thread (and was followed back by most of them) but I never actually posted my code, so here it is:
EZA4BSUQG

While I'm here, I have a few questions about leveling up parts. I'm not worrying about hardcore min/maxing, but I don't want to waste a bunch of materials either.

Tune Up uses Awakening Circuits and levels parts up by star level. I assume this is the only way to boost the rarity? Considering I have so few Circuits, I also assume this is hard to do for a casual player, and I'm going to have to rely on gatcha pulls for 3, 4 and 5 star parts.

Upgrade uses either nippers or duplicate gunpla parts to upgrade a part to it's max numerical level. This does not add stars or change rarity. Playing with a part equipped will also level it up. So what is the best way to level parts up? Equip it to a back up unit, use nippers, or use other parts? Presumably a head specific nipper would work better on a head than a general use nipper, but it doesn't seem so to me. What is the best thing to do with duplicate parts; use them to upgrade the original part or sell them?

K I’ll try and answer these in order

Awakening circuits are the only way to increase the star level of an item. They’re rare starting out but once you start getting arena, platinum, and event coins you can get them pretty quick.

There isn’t really a “best” way to level up a part, but letting it naturally level up from use is the cheapest way.

Using duplicate parts to level up a piece will also level up any Part Trait or EX skill the part has, so that’s the best thing to do with duplicate parts. Keep in mind that if a part reaches its max part trait or ex skill level, if YouTube up that part, it’s level cap will increase and you can level up the traits again, so hold onto those dupes. If it’s a let you want to use, ascend and level it up. If it’s a part you don’t care about, just sell the door and get those money/plat coins.

There’s no difference from using part specific nippers and general nippers, but I try to save the general ones for when I need to upgrade a piece that I don’t have specific nippers for.

I literally just got into Gunpla like a month ago, so this is good timing while I'm in my obsessed period. But yeah, I was practically having withdrawals yesterday.
Totally spoiled by getting the Nu's Fin Funnels on my first day, and it was hard to take them off in favour of the Exia's comparatively boring little white nub to start raking in coins from the event, but Pink Mode is more fun anyway.
And Jesus, I'm glad I decided to see if we had a thread on this, cause I did not know that about using dupe parts to increase skill. Guess I should have been investing in Gundam Rising parts. Honestly I'm still in "discovering Gundam" mode and my favourite thing has been trying to fill out as many of them as possible to get their colour schemes. Dom or die, friends.

EF5HS3UTS is me, I guess? IGN is "Todd Bones". It says that on the splash screen under "ver 1.04" or whatever. Gundam BOLT THROWER will use Pink Mode and Sword Cyclone or something along those lines for you.
