Revitalized posted: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. Barbatos' stun feels a bit overtuned in that regard, yeah, but barb himself is surprisingly fragile to any kind of sustained fire. Another target I find consistently setting off little "this is kinda whack" sirens in my head is Sazabi, and given how tight the race just to select it every match is; I think other people get it too. The shield is basically a second regenerating health bar and if you run into one alone you're basically dead since you're unlikely to be able to burn through the shield before you get stunned and shotgunned. Overall though I'm really enjoying the gameplay. Every unit I've played has been pretty rad, except the Turn-A. I can't tell if it's supposed to be a sniper or a quick fighty run in, shoot dudes, run out sort of guy but it doesn't feel particularly good at either, the weird grab and throw is pretty  and doesn't seem to do any noticable damage while also leaving your rear end open to getting got by the guy you just threw, and the Q is basically a giant rainbow "shoot me" button. I'm sure I'm just doing it wrong, but it feels like they did my boy dirty.Venuz Patrol posted:thank you bandai namco you delivered and i never have to think about overwatch ever again In many ways it feels like a less poo poo overwatch, even.

There's one map, I think it's another moon map?, where the points are stowed in separate buildings in a compound and one of them is really, really, easily blocked by a sazabi with a methuss squatting behind it, I was in a match where that pair could hold off my entire team and it took an ult for us to clear through.

Hugoon Chavez posted:Any word (official or not) about release date for the game, or plans for after the Test? 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. Nuebot fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Apr 10, 2022 |

RBA Starblade posted:Pale Rider is basically Blue Destiny Mk. 2! Apparently. 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 Kitfox88 posted:Pale Rider is basically BD 2.0 so I can’t imagine it showing up except maybe as a legendary skin or such, sadly. I was thinking about that, doing something like that - grouping different mechs together as skins - would probably be a great way for more representation without having to make a million different distinct characters. Like they could make a dozen odd GM skins for the GM, same for the Zaku.

My rank has dropped down below 1950 too. Anyway has anyone figured out how to consistently trigger the +80 "experience" bonus for your battle pass? I have like half a day left but I'd like to at least try and get that rank 20.

Yeah a zaku doesn't really need the headshots to kill a GM. Just get in behind it and blast it in the back and they crumple since most GM players are pretty focused on tanking incoming shots. The tunnel vision tends to be strong I find. But also i'm bad and thus am playing with other bads. EDIT: Anyway, we've talked about what suits would be nice. But know what I really, really, want them to add? More stages and music based explicitly on series locations. There was a larger scale online shooter a while back that did this really well. The maps were all based on recognizable gundam locations and the music was dynamic, it'd change depending on which team was winning and how close to winning they were. So when the defending team was winning it'd start up with the gundam's battle theme, and when they were really close to winning bust out that heroic tune that came in every episode the gundam start kicking rear end. Inversely you had Char's theme when the attacking team did well and such. Something like that might be nice, if a bit of a pipe dream.

Flavahbeast posted:Assuming the game has a good launch, I wonder if they'll do scaled down versions of the Neue Ziel or the Devil Gundam. A lot of favorites are just way too big for the maps An Asymmetrical PVP mode where one person, or a team of people? Plays as something like the Devil or Psycho gundams and the defending team has to take them down before the time runs out or they destroy the objective could be cool. RevolverDivider posted:sniper rifles were a cancer on fps 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.

Is this where we're going to talk about GBO's network test or is it going to get its own thread? It doesn't seem to be working quite yet, they've already mentioned the stuff that'll be available and I'm super stoked to try blue destiny if I can get in. I think they've already said the data's going to be wiped too in regards to the gacha.

I like a lot of the changes they've done. Barbatos no longer feels like the god lord of every match it's in, and I've clowned on it as almost every unit I've played as at least once. Including a fun time when barbatos stunned me as asshimar but didn't manage to kill me long enough that I threw the fire down and killed us both. I still hate the sniper though, there's nothing less fun in a shooter than just being picked off by a guy you couldn't see across the map because you stepped out of spawn or something. Anyway, I'm pretty bummed about how they seem to be handling the EVO Coins and general rewards right now? Like, the coins in general I couldn't give less of a poo poo about; but the fact that we don't seem to actually earn any in-game, even slowly, is a bummer especially when combined with the fact that we don't seem to earn any capital either outside of the battle pass and beginner missions. It just feels really poo poo, especially after the network test felt really fun and rewarding to play. Also apparently EVO Coins only last 120 days which just seems like a really weird and pressuring choice in general. Also I might be crazy but it feels like the afk timer is on some bullshit. It constantly popped up during the tutorial for me while I was listening to the dialogue, and I wound up getting kicked from a match while waiting for it to let us out of spawn.

On the subject of things that don't really matter; it feels kind of good to care absolutely nothing about the premium cosmetic skins right now. I was interested in a few of them when I saw the images, but looking at them in-game I really don't like how the glowing effects flicker on and off or fade in and out. I would 100% be all in on the neon unicorn if it was always on, but the animation kills it for me. As it stands I actually like a lot of the rare and normal recolours. I really hope I get the doom skin for Marasai.

grieving for Gandalf posted:if you jump out of a match where you had a leaver, you can't queue for another until that one's done? if that's what "without penalty" means, they must uninstall the whole thing if you leave in the middle of a game For the record, unless they've changed it since the network test; doing this will still negatively impact you in ranked, as will losing the match. So having a quitter on your team just fucks you over over no matter what.

Mountain R&D Lab is new right? It has like two variations. One where it cycles through A, B and C. And one where it's just A and B with no C and that variant can eat my rear end. There's still two whole maps I haven't seen yet and the preview images look really cool and they seem to be my kind of jam.Runa posted:Like I said, the Zaku II's a lil stinker. From what I understand doing anything except running away will break your invulnerability. So while it is short lived, using your other skills will make it even shorter?

I had to use Zaku for a daily a little while ago and I constantly forgot I even had the smoke grenade (Which, on reflection, would explain why I never realized it disabled your actions) but I threw the hand grenade at everyone, it was great for bonking Barbatos just long enough for me to get in and blast him in the soft vulnerable underside.

ninjewtsu posted:it seems to be a micro-stun that i can't find any real use for. theoretically good for interrupting a channeled ability or something but there isn't very many/any of those? the disorientation of the micro-knockback seems to be more impactful, and that is not very much I always treated it as more of an interrupt rather than an actual stun. So if barbatos, for example, is doing his big leap attack; catching him with it will just leave a confused barbatos wondering why you aren't stunned right now. Usually that's enough time to dash in and gut 'em before they do it again. I think it can also interrupt ultimates? I really should use zaku more to get a hang of it, but his low HP is a real bummer.

Kild posted:I feel like GMs ult and the fire + heal grenades are just too good at holding down a spot. The GM's ability to shoot precisely at far longer ranges is also a huge benefit over the sazabi. The only targets that really want to get up close to a sazabi are the ones that can reliably obliterate it, and with Sazabi's speed it's not often that it gets to creep up on someone that isn't oblivious and tunnel visioning. So while the sazabi is really good at like, holding a hallway or a corridor or like clustered domination points; it's far less good at holding something like the big front gate on the lunar checkpoint map where the GM's ability to shoot at longer range and explosive lets it counter snipers and the like better. So I feel that'd probably come down to game mode and map even.

If you're already in a decent vantage point a sniper or even a guntank can shut it down really easily. but generally it's easier to just get out of dodge. Most random players struggle to do two things at once, like look up and shoot, or shoot and dodge. So asking them to look up, shoot the moving dude, and get out of the AOE is a huge one.
