Seeing the overwatch UI kinda brings back to the late 90s and early 2000s where you'd just mod skins into your favorite game so it'd be like you were playing the game of your favorite franchise but it really wasn't. I'm hype to play this tonight!

I love the classic mecha dashes that you can do. Spend your thruster fuel to "sprint" or to dash. RX-78's napalm grenade ult is nuts but uhhh I don't recall that being part of it's arsenal in the anime? (or any variant of 78 for that matter) Turn A's grapple throw is pretty funny though a little janky to catch. Guntank is strange to evaluate. Not exactly strong yet is plenty annoying to the enemy. Also core fighter kamikaze attack. I think it's an interesting design choice that there is no universal melee button in this game. How does one emote???

Certain attacks like RX-78's hyper hammer need a better transition to projectile because hitting targets and the first-person swinging animation on it feels disjointed. Makes it kinda hard to use.

I like how Guntank's weapons just auto target. Kinda weak when targeting multiples but nice for just peppering damage on the multiple targets zooming in and out of cover.

GM Sniper's ranged res is really good- because pubs often forget that you can revive teammates. As the 'eye in the sky' you you have the ability to shoot a res dart at anyone while you don't have targets to sight. Just tap the button and they are back in the fight as long as they aren't being thirsted. It really stabilizes point control objectives when there is so much back and forth that people don't get thirsted so fast. Of course, this ability alone isn't worth it if you're rear end at sniping. Does GM Sniper's ult wallhax benefit the whole team or just himself?

Having given this a bit more time, I'm starting to see the "un-fun" of Barbatos. Getting hit by the stun is basically a death sentence, even if Barb's the only guy there. And he maintains annoying movement when you're trying to fight him off.

Also I think Barbato's stun is just easier to land. I think it's hard to whiff it, compared to say, RX-78's hyper hammer that kinda has a delay. Marasai's also has a delay and kind of a stun effect, but he's sort of a 1v1 assassin. Turn A is weird because he's *kinda* tanky but unlike Sazabi his gun is sort of hard to use. The damage is kind of eh and it's a semi-auto beam. Though I suppose the benefit is that it shoots straight. Moonlight Butterfly doesn't seem as powerful as you would think? His grapple is kinda funny but also finicky Revitalized fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Apr 9, 2022 |

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"

RevolverDivider posted:6v6 is still hot loving garbage and the fact that nothing seems to happen if somebody leaves meaning you're trapped in a total no hope waste of time and losing points is absurd even for the network test. I think if someone leaves a big message is displayed saying you can leave too. (though I suppose you might lose points yeah. But I mean who cares about ranked points in a network test, it's all wiped anyways) If someone leaves extra early, the entire match is terminated. Nuebot posted:It's basically the more mass produced and functional version of it since the original blue destiny was made with a newtype girl's ghost inside of its special computer IIRC. The original Blue Destiny line were very much just repurposed GMs for the purposes of testing it There's only two legendary skins so far and they don't seem to really change the shape of the mobile suit. Most games put major aesthetic shifts on legendary skins but here we have G-3 Gundam (which is just RX-78 grayed out) and this weird Matrix colored Exia. Looks cool sure, but it's still Exia's exact shape and design. I'd be all over Blue Destiny in some form regardless though, and then change the HADES G-Manuever icon to EXAM.

I can already see them giving Marasai's hook to Crossbone. Besides having Heavyarms on my wishlist (EW ver preferably), I would also love to see Jesta as another grunt suit addition. Beam Gun, Shield, and maybe it'll have the base jabber in some capacity. They also have a few missiles they could mix in as an ability if necessary. I don't know if there's design space for Nu Gundam since funnels are already a thing on the Sazabi... but I-Field functionality maybe?

Nuebot posted:Yes, yes they are. What boggles my mind is that they don't do the simplest thing and just add like an inverse shotgun damage ramp to lock them into the long range shooty guy lane, like how shotguns tend to have disgusting falloff past close rang. Make it so a sniper is useless in mid and close range, gently caress you. Instead snipers get to just one shot anyone anywhere regardless and it sucks. technically when you close range hip-fire it, it can fire as wide as like the side of your screen. It's basically ridiculous but I assume is the "drawback" to it. I can't claim to be a pro on making an opinion about barb but I think as just a regular gamer I can classify barb as just "unfun" to get stunned and 2 shot around a corner. Wasn't there a JP only closed beta before this? Was Barb there too? Same thing? Most other things don't make me go "gently caress" when I encounter it. I mean 1v1 Sazabi does, but it doesn't feel as helpless as Barb stun. Also I hope they fiddle with how abilities come out. There's this kinda jarring disconnect between your throw animation and the projectile actually going out. Originally noticed this throwing the hyper hammer on the 78 (you can kinda get used to it but it still doesn't 'feel' good) and now with GM's C4 throwing. I've burned myself a few times early on throwing it with backwards momentum.

free hubcaps posted:As a longtime GBO2 player, its actually kind of a cool team based game that doesn't really have a whole lot like it out there. It's been out on consoles for years so there's an absolute shitload of cool Mobile suits in it (i think at least 200 at this point, and all from the UC, so there's a lot of awesome obscure poo poo. There's probably 15 variants of the zaku II alone.) And given how this game works with each suit having unique weapons loadouts, stats, and passive skills, even similar suits can play completely differently. Its f2p so there's no harm in checking it out. GBO2 has gacha systems right? How heavy is it in GBO2?

Dev Blog Update vol.3 https://gundamevolution.com/news/42 Dev talks about some of their observations regarding mobile suit balancing from the network test. The dev addresses Barbatos, Turn A, Marasai, and GM Sniper II Top 3 win rates were 1. Barbatos 2. Sazabi 3. Pale Rider Turn A and Marasai were intended by the dev team to be counters- Turn A's Judo throw and Marasai's stun whip were both supposed to counter melee attackers. The blogpost mentions briefly what they intend to change based on current data, but it sounds like they want to see the console data first before making any decisions.

The Marasai ability activation speed was definitely one of the things that (to me) didn't feel good. I also feel the same way about RX-78's hammer to a lesser degree, except the RX-78 isn't useless if he whiffs.

Unhappy Meal posted:I mean they do have to be careful with Marasai's damage since landing a hook is already a kill on anyone 1000 HP or less. Though since the Turn A is the only 1100 unit maybe that's an acceptable sacrifice. Yeah, I initially thought I'd see much more Marasai combos than I did. I whiffed a lot with it though so I suppose that made sense. Kanos posted:
They did mention reducing it's dash speed possibly, but I don't think that's going to change much. I'm not sure how you would actually offer counterplay to Barbatos.

Pale Rider with his machine gun feels the most regular shooty. What I mean by that is he probably feels the simplest to understand and play, so people probably dig him in the survey. I mained Pale Rider and I thought it was fine. No game changer but no slouch either. Kitfox88 posted:Barbatos has that issue where if you’re good and know how to play it you become able to drastically impact the entire match to a pretty uneven level, whereas if you aren’t really good you basically just get caught and die without accomplishing anything. Not too surprised it’s got the highest polarized responses. DOM Trooper was fun though I wish the laser wasn’t so pidly tiny They also mentioned in the blog post that a lot of Barbatos players basically only played Barbatos, so they got really good at it too I guess.

Chillgamesh posted:Feel like Pale Rider's EMP nade could use a buff, always felt pretty ineffectual. Yeah I think most people would agree. It was hard to use and when you finally did connect with it, it wasn't really something you needed. I think the EMP ability needs a rework of sorts. Maybe an actual throw instead of just lobbing it at your feet?

Commoners posted:I think it's good to keep the range low so that it's used as a defensive disable to protect yourself as a midrange suit or control a choke against short range guys to protect your team instead of turning it into an offensive CC that you can bean people from across the map with so you can jump them. Good point, I suppose it's fine in that sense. EMP still feels kinda wimpy though.

Spin2Win heat hawk lets go 2 months a season, with new units each season. Sounds kind of ambitious for balancing a shooter like this. (Might just be one unit. Looks like Unicorn is considered season 1, and melee zaku and mihiroo are considered starter base)

It says somewhere that a BP pays out a total of 990 EVO coins at completion. That sounds like (based on no evidence) around $10 buckos, which sounds like what a typical BP goes for.
