I have more playtime in this dumb game than I do Final Fantasy XV.

Also, has there been any news about when you'll be able to buy the DH express passes?

Secretly the coolest thing about this game is the stamina system. It's done right.
Unlike every Souls game ever you have a chance to run away but you absolutely cannot just dash through the level - enemies have no leash and running doesn't drain their stamina so you just get mobbed and die.

Is there a way to increase your fighter's max level yet? Just beaten Coen and I've been screwing around in PVP the last while.

You unlock the ability to buy rank 2 fighters (max level 50 I think) after beating the major boss on floor 10, so you've got a bit to go.

Locking off multiplayer until the player beats Floor 3 makes a lot of sense, as soon as you're in it - you're in it.
Invading is currently so stacked in the invaders favor that it realistically forces you to spend most of your liquid assets before shutting the game off.

It'll be that way forever, any asynchronous F2P PvP inevitably works that way. It's usually taken advantage of by selling 'protection' timers for real money. Regardless because any asynch PvP game is really just another form of the same PvE, everyone can and will be defeated unless they are simply the most powerful around, either by poopsocking or by huge alliances.

My big suggestion is to try and get all the blueprints you can because weapons and armor built off of them are so much better than the stuff you just find.

My big suggestion is to not blindly equip armor.
Every piece of armor I've seen has +'s and -'s. Armor can make you take more damage from slash or blunt weapons which may be super undesirable for your area.

Helmets are the best pieces of armor though, as they don't change your defense they just raise your base stats while worn.

Not to mention blueprints seem to be the one piece of progress that you CAN'T lose. Though amusingly you can definitely progress recipes so far that none of your fighters can equip them, especially if they get wiped out and you're starting from scratch.

Urgh, I didn't like that in MGSV, probably won't here. I don't mind it happening while I'm playing, but losing all my stuff because I dared to go to work is a pain in the rear end.

Does it just take like, a poo poo load of time to level up or is it just me? I played for a couple hours yesterday just toodling around the first three floors but I was little surprised that I wasn't even able to hit level 2 and wear my sweet new jacket that requires 208 hp to wear.

That's odd, one of the things I've been doing is running levels up to the first boss with a new fighter and killing everything to get its initial set of levels. Quite a bit of XP for doing so.

vvv Edit: oh that makes sense. vvv

You won't lose all your stuff, but yeah, I just got my poo poo pushed in by like a dozen people in the last 24 hours.

The benefit is that if you equip your characters with kit from the shop, it won't ever break and your characters themselves persist from invasion to invasion unless they're kidnapped (which doesn't happen often). Just don't finish a session with a ton of lucre in your banks and you shouldn't have much to worry about.

You can only level up in the lobby. Talk to the giant floating tentacle-brain.

He's supposedly making games again, but he's CEO of his company and for a long time he was just doing, well, CEO stuff, like making sure the company had contracts in place to make more games.

So is it even possible to play it right now? I was able to play yesterday but it takes 5+ minutes of sitting on the network connection icon before I even get to the title screen and then i just can't get in game. It sits on the network icon.

Someone earlier in the thread was asking about whether you need PS+ or not, and according to the official FAQ you do not.

e: Also this FAQ is super thorough. If you have a question about the game mechanics it's probably not a bad idea to check it first.
