The stuff in the beta season pass doesn't carry over to live. All you get is a player icon and an RX-78 skin for hitting 20 in the beta.

FYI the char zaku skin is only for the duration of the beta. You get a reward in the final game for reaching battlepass level 20 in the playtest, but it isn't that reward. It's an rx-78 skin

Competence on the battlefield is a myth. The side which screws up next to last wins, it's as simple as that.

Yea if it was the Char skin I'd probably grind it out.

Honestly, the special skin in the full game being unlocked at level 20 is kind of a harsh ask for a network test that's up for 5 days. Like, a season pass like this is more reasonable over an actual season, like a month or two, but that's a LOT of game to play in less than a week.

Okay, thank goodness on the battle pass reward. RX-78 is fun, but not Zaku fun.

I'd want the Grimoire just for the unique look, but dunno what they'd do with it that Zaku doesn't do already. (Oh, they could make it a Zaku skin and completely own me, drat.)

Really hoping Barbatos and GM Sniper get nerfed in the full release, GM Sniper is just too safe for how quick it can put out damage and while there's counterplay to Barbatos it's just infinitely superior to Exia while being easier to play and is kinda brainless in how easy it is to oneshot everyone in the game.

The game is very fun but it's massively held back by how awful the Overwatch genre is.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Heavyarms from Wing would work the best out of the suits from that series, though Guntank is basically the playstyle I would assume it would have.

Give me the EZ-8 though.

You can but the hook's range is extremely short and it has a brutal startup animation, so it's honestly less dangerous as a backstabber than the Zaku IMO. It does provide decent mid-range poke fire though.

It would be significantly better if you could hook shields but you can't.

Its ult would totally be the over the top "fire everything" it has in every game. Leaves you immobile but explodes everything in front of you.

I really want to see the tallgeese for wing rep though. Deathscythe might be nice for a fun stealth/melee sort of character. But I really want more weird MS like the various aquatic ones.

The reward skin that carries over into the actual game kinda sucks, too.

Wow, a Gundam with yellow shoulders, wrists, and ankles. How exciting. :geno: I'm kinda glad it sucks, though, so I don't feel any urge to grind out 20 levels in like two days.

The first SEED suit is an up-jumped grunt that showed up in like the last five episodes of SEED Destiny and has almost no screen time, so anything is possible.

As long as it's not something lame like deathscythe.

Really the only two decent gundams from wing are heavyarms and sandrock

After a day of playing, I think the game has potential. I like the rotating king of the hill map. It has lots of paths and levels and allows for so much flanking and movement.

The capture and defuse maps have huge choke points that I dislike as they get stale quickly.

The suits are varied and most have abilities that are a spectacle, which is good.

The feel of shooting guns is kind of bad, but I do feel very anime with several of the suits.

The graphics are not good and performance should be better. Texture work is low detail, animations are OK, special effects could be better, lighting is basically non existent. Same with shadows. Maps and skins are rather bland.

Can't really recommend to people that aren't fans of the series or anime mechs because of the low production values and not great fun feel.

I still had a lot of fun, though.

I thought I liked the Turn-A but I keep whiffing the grab and I'm not a fan of plinking with his gun. I do like his tankiness and nanoskin though.

I love that his reload animation is just "welp don't need this one anymore"

Any word (official or not) about release date for the game, or plans for after the Test?

I just found out about it and it looks pretty good, even if I really dislike mechas. Been wanting a decent overwatch clone for a bit.

I've gotten like four friends who don't know what gundam is outside of the fact that gandum is some sort of famous robot to be weirdly excited for this game by virtue of showing off my bad gameplay and the character abilities. There's some solid potential here and I'm down for it.

I really hope they fix the matchmaking though because it feels like for every match I win, I get slapped into three matches with demi-gods that outperform my whole team so well and above that we shouldn't even be in the same matching system with them. But since a win gains like twice as much rating as losing does I guess I'm just trapped in this endless cycle.

Also while I'm being really nitpicky, a few things need to be touched up a bit. I don't know if it's lag or what, but the Marasai's hook is really jank to use; the windup takes forever in a game where enemies can dash and sprint freely, and it has a habit of pulling enemies right through you and dropping them behind you so the like one second stun has worn off by the time your also long stab animation hits them. Also it being the only stun deflected by shields hurts.

Sprint while charging and shoot charged shots while doing so! You have to let go of the sprint button to fire, though.

You end up more mobile than most other suits while still dealing good damage (510 with a fully charged headshot). Just skating around and stunting on people.
