I was trying to find it on my phone as I wasn't logged in and found it really weird it wasn't in the first 5 pages.
Probably be good to go back into general gaming (not hangouts yet) to get more eyes and potential new players.
I started playing a bit of the mission mode, and thank fuck you don't have to level up each suit independently this time around. That was a grind I was *not* looking forward to
And having a map of sorts like EXVS again feels nice and definitely more interesting than the mission list in EXVSFB

Well, he's pretty much the only one who doesn't get its character destroyed in Destiny so that's, uh, something
And no Aegis, which means the only Gundams from SEED that are missing are that one boring druggie suit and all of his lol
Yeah, the game *really* wants you to play online
IIRC neither EXVS nor EXVSFB have one for Wing either (and they have been reusing them since then)
Curious how I earn proficiency and these other points and what mode contributes to what.
I'm just playing and not really seeing progress as far as ranks other than my tag being e-1 or whatever. I see a silver dot in some other tab but don't know how that fills up despite being 5/8 in ranked.
Edit: So doing a fixed suit battle with Blue Destiny once gave me that silver dot/diamond, raising my proficiency. What makes it go higher than that? Wins, time used? Because I've been exclusively Deathscythe Hell except for these fixed battles in every mode and still at one dot.

You can set connections to worldwide, you should be fine. It's P2P, so no server stuff.
If it's anything like Full Boost...
1 star: 1 game
2 star: 100 games
3 star: 300 games
4 star: 500 games
5 star: 1000 games
And that should be in all modes.
That's absurd given the the amount of suits and unlocks there are. Is that what CP is? How many times used?
Should have been a points system that could be maxed out in way under a hundred uses if you perform well in various modes (perfects, win streaks, final kills, first place etc netting you more points).

The GP system is there to counteract that since it can be used as an alternative to unlocking what you want without the play requirements for a particular suit.
Proficiency just unlocks pilot costumes and title/emblem stuff, right? Unless you're someone who wants to unlock all of them for some reason, GP makes it a fine system.
Oooh. I thought the price was in addition to meeting the requirements.

Not so absurd then haha.
I'm quite liking the Maxiboost mode or whatever it was called. Gives me a sort of Dissidia FF board vibe. Makes me wish there were boards specific to each series with forced suit battles (but with the freedom of choosing any suit within that series for the entire board).
I totally forgot you could change your Pilot's look in this game.
Played someone online with a cross dressing Loran pilot skin and wondered if I missed a Turn A variant.
Now that I've actually looked at the "Pilot" category in the customize tab there's a lot of casual wear I might want to grind for.

I feel like I'm committing a cardinal sin, adding Macross music.
But I gotta beat fools while blaring some Sheryl Nome tracks.
And some Walküre.

It's generally all canonical outfits and gundam characters really only exist between space suit and tshirt
Playing the campaign and wow some of those hard missions are actually hard.
Also, some missions are so difficult to S rank. There was a fixed suit mission for Nu Gundam where the target is Sazabi, I think that is in B or C section. I did my best taking the sazabi fast or killing every mobile suit. I just can't get an S. I think I had one try where I only got knocked down once, still got an A.
Still enjoying it though, I am almost trying a cheese strat when things get rough.

I think it would've also been cool to be able to unlock new Navis by increasing the intimacy of all Navis in a series. Like, Max our Atra and Kudelia to unlock Orga or something. Speaking of, how exactly do you raise Navi intimacy? I saw that to raise mobile suit proficiency you have to fight literally hundreds of battles. Is it the same with a Navi?
I think I lost every single game I played tonight outside maybe 1 match over a couple hours. Was not a good night. Though to be fair taking down a 3000 cost Nightingale with Infinite Justice Lacus Edition for that one win sure was satisfying lol
Also had a lot of trouble finding matches. It kept saying "players declined", what does that even mean? I thought you can't see who you're playing against in ranked shuffle?
And I thought the whole point of ranked shuffle is that it shuffles the players around so you never know who you'll end up with and against? I must have fought like 10 matches in a row against the same guy who had like 20+ win streak and he was always on the opposite team destroying my team, I would have thought with shuffle I'd end up on the same team as him at some point? Most of the time I play shuffle it seems like it takes the 2 players who are the best and both have win streaks going and puts them on the same team vs the beginners.
And casual match rooms seemed totally dead tonight.

Just play with them set, it doesn't take very long I have like four maxed.
people will decline based on rank a lot of the time since they'll lose more points against lower ranked players, or connection for obvious reasons. If you really just want to play then go to a player match lobby, I really don't know what purpose casual serves
macross music playing while using Full Armor's missile barrage is high art
Video lecture series on MBON gameplay
But how are they already seeing my rank/connection while I'm still in the practice mode screen?
Also this seems poorly designed allowing people to decline ranked matches. This isn't six months into the game where no one wants to play a new player with a low rank. This is the first weekend the game is out and it's already hard to get matches because so many people decline. Probably took me about 3-5 min wait per match last night.
And shouldn't matchmaking be matching people of similar rank? Are the servers region locked? Seems like very few players in NA.
Wow cant believe I never thought of chasing someone from behind lol. I've been punished so much by boosting in the same direction as my opponent because I end up accidentally closing the gap. That and we both miss a lot.
Holy shit the Boost Missions are starting to get HARD to S rank.
D-29 and D-27 were tough. Especially 29. Pitting you alone against 3 SUMOs who all have lots of ranged options was a nightmare to dodge through.
Had to resort to using Turn A's Nuke move to weaken some fights. I'm actually having a lot of fun.

It seems to definitely pit PSN region, but I've been getting loads of matches lately from the UK with US players with my US PSN and have played Shouta and Mecha a couple times as well. But yeah, it could do a better job of matching in general.
As for the dropping before you get to the line check screen, leaving the waiting room will cancel that. As to why people are doing that while waiting for a match... dunno 🤷♀️

Most games have a pop up to accept a game so you don't end up fighting someone with a one bar connection.
And yea it's a full price digital only port of a several year old arcade game with no advertising, the size of the community is going to be a bit limited lol. Like I said, most people are in player matches so I guarantee you'll have a better experience there.
Yeah, I'll try sticking to player matches and see how that goes. I've been playing the series since the original, but I'm still around beginner/intermediate (fine with movement, ok at defense, but don't really have any individual unit strategies and pretty much flip around units every couple of matches to keep trying them all) and I prefer auto-match-making with different random people each time since it's less embarrassing than being in a room of the same people over and over who get to see how bad I am haha

It's currently sold out and there's no word if they're getting more stock. The Japanese version supposedly defaults to English if that's your system default, but it's $76 instead of $55.
Yea I just saw that. :-(
I'll see if I can confirm is the JPN version gives English or not.
OP
OP
It does. A number of people here have the JP digital and it has english subs.
That SUMO mission was super hard! AI SUMOs are my nightmare and this one has at least 3-4 ganging up on you at once lol
why not just get the english version so they know people give a shit about it here

Thanks for the info!
I like to buy a physical copy of games when possible. Guess I'm old school.
If there is a physical copy I will buy it. I'm not rewarding Bandai Namco NA for going digital only. I made that clear in the survey and also on their social media pages.
I did both for that exact purpose, but I really wanted that gunpla
