Lol went 0 and 12, got three top player call outs and the highest KD I've ever had in any game. I forgot that this style of game is full of the dumbest players around.

Other than that the balance is hosed and the ranking system seems custom built to piss everyone off, especially if someone drops

I agree with the comments about the guns not feeling great. i think a big part of that is just how difficult it is to track projectiles, both your own and enemy ones. map design is also really hit and miss and feels very claustrophobic a lot of the time. movement is mostly good and ability variety is good too (though brought down by many just feeling bad due to the aforementioned issues with impact and readability).

One thing I think does feel really good, coming from Maxiboost, is the mobile armor. They're not exactly great units (or useful at all if you're Methuss, where your healing doesn't matter in the face of sniper or Barb one/ two-shots) but flipping to MA, strafing, and leaving in seconds feels real badass

Messala would be a cool addition too

Lol I successfully won 2/14 games now :toot:

It's entirely dependent on if someone quits or crashes or not, followed by if your Barbatos is good or not

Also it's pretty funny that the game says it won't penalize you for leaving (except for if you lose the match), then it does anyway

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.

The marasai is specifically the one from like one scene in Unicorn lol

The dailies work fine? You generally get a selection of 3 suits for each daily, and you don't need to play them for an entire game for stuff like "win", just a round. They also have very low requirements for completion so it's pretty easy to one and done them. I think the only one I ever got that was annoying was a headshot kills daily where my options were Sazabi, Dom Trooper, and GM.

What counts as "winning" with a suit anyway? Winning while playing it as the game ends, or playing it at all during a winning game?

Anyway for mechs I'd like to see, I'll throw out dumb stuff like the Efreet and Blue Destiny. I love them even if they're stupid.

If someone leaves, the game displays a big message saying "you can leave too, and you won't lose any rank points, but you still can't play the game".
You get locked out of multiplayer until the match you left ends, even if someone else already left.

No it's the other way around, it just takes a few seconds to clear. After that you're penalized extra points for leaving after someone else has, penalized again once your team finishes losing, but you can play another round in the meantime.

It's almost the worst possible way to handle it lmao

Well outside of my day of shame where I remembered pubbies can't play, went 10 and 7 with friends, so that feels pretty good.

The Big 3 suits are pretty obviously sazabi, barbatos, and gm sniper, but only the barbatos is actually unfun to fight. Methuss seemed very underpowered at first but it's kit is actually really nice. The healing tether still feels like it could use a bit of a boost though.

Interesting statistics from what the players went for.

The units that got the most "I didn't play it" responses were Exia, Asshimar, Marasai, GM, and Turn A, in that order.

The units that got the fewest "I didn't play it" responses were Pale Rider, Sazabi, Gundam, and Zaku II.

Pale Rider and Sazabi tied for the most "Very Good" ratings (with a fair margin over the other mechs). Pale Rider also had the most "Good" ratings, and by far the least "Bad" or "Very Bad" ratings. I'm a bit surprised to see it so well-received.

Turn A got by far the fewest Good and Very Good ratings, and by far the most "Bad" and "Very Bad" ratings. Marasai and Exia were the runners-up for the least-liked suits, while Barbatos was the runner-up for the most-hated.

The only suits that got more "Very Good" than "Good" ratings were Sazabi and Barbatos. The only suit that got more "Very Bad" than "Bad" ratings was Barbatos. As you might expect, Barbatos also got the fewest "Average" ratings by a huge margin - opinion was very, very polarized there. People either loved it or hated it.

i've stopped playing the methuss because every time i do i almost immediately fall into flying into the enemy backline to pull asshimar-esque bullshit, which is funny, but then i could just play asshimar, and now my team isn't getting my lovely tether heal and my ult is useless

I save my ult for a healthy sazabi and hope they don't gently caress it up or Barbatos doesn't be an rear end in a top hat

Though assman and methuss together are a funny combo
