Started playing last night, and got a prototype Gelgoog from the supply that I fell in love with immediately. I will admit I mildly wish the game was more akin to Zeonic Front just because the simple pleasure of evading behind an enemy and planting a heat hawk directly into it's back is one that still hasn't really been replicated since.

Bazooka Melee combo makes sense. I remember getting owned hard last night by a Dom variant with a bazooka and a giant gently caress-off heat axe.

Valhawk posted:Lots of talk about bazookas and beams, but let me stick up for the humble machine gun. If used effectively it can output a significant amount of damage much more constantly than other weapon types. When combined with parts that increase the size of the auto-aim ring you can focus on dodging and placement while ticking away one to two hundred damage every half second. Do you think the armored GM (I'm assuming it's the same one) currently in the recycle shop is worth the 50 tickets? It's admittedly tempting.

Valhawk posted:I'm a big fan of it. It's probably one of my favorite mid-cost suits. Also, just check and make sure it's the Armored GM and not the Desert GM, as the latter is kind of a gimmick unit which requires hitting at mid-long range with a stunning shot and then quickly switching to a missile launcher. Yup, bought it and it's put in some great work for me at that suit level. Was definitely worth the tickets. I decided to try out the Prototype Gundam with the bazooka instead of laser and good lord that thing can put in some work. That trident is real, real nasty when you can do a 3 hit combo with it. Good lord.

Discounted pull was good to me. Got a Z'Gok, saving me some DP, as well as the G-Line Assault and Pale Rider Cavalry which both look really good

Zushio posted:It doesn't seem to get better in solo queue. Usual things that happen to me almost every solo game: I've enjoyed how many counter knockdowns I've had go to waste because a teammate boosts the gently caress in with a wide beam saber slash that stops me from doing any kind of followup, with the cherry on top being that they don't even hit the drat enemy with it. This game has two modes: "WHERE IS MY TEAM" and "TEAM GO AWAY"

I am so sick of losing ace matches because it's the last 10 seconds and my team refuses to just back the gently caress off out of some stubborn, dumbass drive to hold an imaginary line. We have an 800 point lead literally all you have to do is not get killed by the ace in the next 10 seconds you dipshits. I've been fishing uselessly for my 2nd win for an hour now and seen 4 encouragements and my daily bonuses go to complete waste.

Valhawk posted:Have you seen the GM Guard Custom. Less than the GP02, weirdly! Even then it's been annoying but not to the same degree. Anyway tonight I got weirdly happy at getting a Guncannon from a silver crate? 450, too, so I guess I got my new high cost support. I also threw a pull at the supply drop and got the Psycommu Zaku which, good lord, looks utterly ridiculous so I hope it's good.

So I kinda havent been paying attention during my past promotions since they've been quick affairs, but is any xp you get between hitting rank 10 and clearing your promotion missions wasted or does it add it in after the fact?

Oof. That's gonna be painful while I get these 6 rival victories. I genuinely hate rival win requirements.

Space also feels like the home of a decent number of people who have the general mechanics down pat but who just don't put much time into Space battles so they sit at the low ranks forever despite being at, like, Colonel and poo poo. I've definitely run into plenty of folks in Space matches so far who should absolutely not be at the rating they're at but obviously don't really care about doing more in Space than they need to.

I don't blame anyone for cheeseing their space games. Space loving sucks and exacerbates the most unfun aspects of the game. Being stuck having to do unrestricted in it is also the worst.

drrockso20 posted:Overall I think the worst thing about this game is it's ridiculous over-reliance on stun as a mechanic, indeed that is a consistent issue in multiplayer Gundam games, the game would be so much better if stun wasn't such an omnipresent mechanic This has been my experience so far tbh. I enjoy the game and have fun with it but as you later noted, stun is just an inherently unfun and frustrating mechanic to begin with and it's essentially the core mechanic of the game. So when the game gets frustrating, it gets frustrating.

Ehh. It's frustrating, yeah, but sometimes you have a scenario where you have a "do x space/ground sorties" daily and whoops the only option available in the current cycle is at a high cost or even Unrestricted.

At minimum someone was completely correct earlier in suggesting that stagger be removed from bazooka splash damage. It's utterly loving absurd that something which has such a high impact on the enemy doesn't even require a direct or even particularly close hit and can effectively be wildfired at close range to devastating effect a lot of the time. In general I don't care if it "rewards teamwork", rewarding teamwork doesn't make stagger any less of a completely unfun mechanic to experience and it's ultimately gonna be why I quit the game, even if I'm currently still largely having fun 'cause all the annoyance is inevitably gonna pile up. I just refuse to believe there wasn't a better core mechanic they could have gone with that wasn't the most unfun thing in gaming.

Yeah I ran into the Efreet(DS) for the first time a few days ago playing support in 300 and it was incredibly miserable being effectively oneshot by it. Scourge is completely accurate.

The only thing I dont like about the regular Efreet is that its shotgun feels so weird to use coming from the g-line assault, whose shotgun fires faster and has more ammo. I might experiment with the MG as an alternative.

My pattern now is that I make it out of C and then start getting bodied by teams that I have a hard time believing aren't playing as a group until I end up back in mid-C and then the cycle repeats.

My favorite recent loss is when it was the last minute and we were about 200 points behind. Someone on the enemy team planted a bomb with 55 seconds left so it was completely irrelevant, but it didn't stop two people from going back to base to try to defuse, leaving me and two other people outnumbered and completely blowing any chance whatsoever of a comeback.

Did the cycle on the boosted banner and got a Mudrock, Efreet Nacht, and gelgoog marine out of it. Really happy with the Mudrock at minimum, makes it much easier to justify the Kaempfer when I next promote. Mildly related, since I'm approaching that end of the DP store, what are some suits worth serious consideration? I'm eyeing the gouf vd and then the pezun dowadge much later but dont want to overlook anything. E: act zaku as well, but that's where my impressions end

Yeah I took another look at it before I hit the exchange button and kinda yikes'd at its hp, and also hadn't initially noticed it was space only. Glad I hesitated. I'll consider it for a DP purchase in the future 'cause it does look rad but yeah RT are too precious.

Love watching a 3000 point lead turn into a 3000 point loss because your dumbass team pushes way the gently caress in and doesn't retreat, a mistake the other team naturally doesn't make when they spawn back in and trash them.

I swear there's just something about the beginning of a month that makes the game drop you into team after team of mental invalids. 3 ace matches in a row just now where the team actually played fine up until ace selection, at which point they decided to scatter to the loving winds.

Room makes, 4 A players and 6 B players. Game proceeds to put 3 of the A players on one team. Blown out by 5000 points. Thanks game I appreciate the extra effort you went to in order to gently caress five folks. I deeply wish I wasn't completely starved for Gundam games.

It was, yeah. Group of B+ and A-. I got madder than usual because it feels like for the past couple of weeks I've been constantly knocking on moving into A ranks (ie, just needing one more win) only to eat a series of blowout losses. It's frustrating, perhaps even moreso because I don't really care about staying at A once I get there - I just want to get there. What's definitely compounding it though is not even being able to get out of C in Space despite my best efforts because I'm sick of my xp rewards for Space being trash, but Space ratings and matchmaking are super hosed. While I'm bitching, I'll say that the Rick Dias feels like the first P2W suit I've come across since I've started playing. I want one but did not get one.

My experience against the rick dias has been that the supports I use that usually chunk the poo poo out of generals are not nearly as effective against it. For all I know I might be having weirdly bad luck in facing folks who had the things loaded the gently caress up with strong defensive parts, but I don't know.
