You can boost while swinging the heat rod now.

My favourite part is the aquatic suit buffs and the fact we got higher armour buffs than the Feddys. No more dying in 1 beam rifle F clip is huge as an assault.

Also, Acguy can't be headshotted at all.

They raised everyone's armour without buffing my action zaku's charge rifle, but I'll adapt.

Judging from the last 2 posts I'm assuming the patch is live? I'm trying to patch right now and it just launches the game while giving me empty servers.

Just talking about the patch notes is all.

No, it's not. Empty servers is because they're down for maintenance. When you can see the map rotation in the bandai launcher window that means patch is live and servers are up.

E: 4:18 PM in Japan at the time of this edit. Patch is live 6:05PM.

The Feddies don't have a suit as notoriously bad as the Acguy :laugh:

That said, for a 220 cost beam capable unit it's looking viable now.

Thank gently caress beams are relatively nerfed. I started a feddie guy to see what exactly they do (know thy enemy etc) and was immediately wrecking faces with the default heavy.

I mean part of it was the easier matchmaking but a bigger part is the charge beam that two-shots supports, along with a bazooka, from rank 1 :wtc:

Easily performs better than my upgraded and geared FS in a messy brawl.

Same charge rifles as the Act Zaku. Also same choice of souped up bazookas since we're heavies. I want ours to be superior!

I get by with the Act Zaku's superior armour and mobility, but yeah the precession GM is a monster for 200 cost.

I played for a 3/4s of a year on shangri-la instead of francesca(Old main goon guild) before I manned up and starting posting. Thought to myself, hey when I transfer I can show that I'm competent. I came back and francesca's goon guild was pretty much dead :v:. Lots of discontent since people weren't customizing their suits/weapons/learning when and how to use lock-on.

I was glad to play with the remaining goons on Francesca, then I started missing my old suits so I made a guild on shangri-la in the end. The remaining goons graciously accepted to come with me, even though they had gelgoogs.

I'll get you in as soon as it's done patching.

E:By the way there are tangible benefits to joining a guild, it's an extra source of GP and you get a bonus to customization.

I don't know 100% whats inside it but it does include the zaku controller and a code for the Dom or a Ground gundam container type I have no idea if the code will unlock both or if u choose one u can't get the other. I doubt anything is different inside from when it first released, its gonna take close to half a month if not a full month b4 I actually get it

Had the best game ever.



Peep the remaining gauge of dat last game :smug:

It was amazing. We were losing badly the whole game, down almost two full bars for most of the game, until we double nuked them, including one nuke that went off seconds before our gauge ran out. I also solo'd two gundams in a 1v2 with my FS :smug: :smug:

People were flipping out in chat afterwards.

I made a gold range traited Zaku I sniper, and I've been using irradiation beam L to be incredibly annoying. It doesn't do huge damage but it pisses people off big time when you poke at them from across most of the map. :pwn:

Aren't they saying Gogg? (ゴッグ). Once known as the worst aquatic suit. That fat brown egg looking guy has a stealth mode, undetectable by radar and mines. Sounds like an amazing match, I'll be sure to watch the replay.

Great for killing enemy battleships safely too. I recommend grabbing the extra ammo so you can stay out in the field longer.

randombattle posted:

It's harder to avoid being knocked down by a bazooka. Still possible but you have to act earlier. If there is no cover handy, the best method of evasion is still to boost obliquely then jump up to maximum height as soon as possible.

Also, if you use heavies their bazooka F's are monsters now.

People said both so I don't know. Honestly I had written the match off so I wasn't even paying attention - I thought we had lost our nukes :v:

I totally forgot about replays, I'll look into it.

edit: It was a gogg! Also we DID lose our first nuke (I thought that was how we got them down to 1 bar but I guess it was just good ol' elbow grease). I also relived my glory of soloing two gundams :)

In the clip it took about 9 beam shots to take down a Z'gok(1400 armour), so ~150 damage per beam. About the same performance as the F type full auto beam rifles already in the game.
