SD Gundam Online

[Elvin]

SD Gundam MMO from Asia finally makes it over

http://sdgo.ogplanet.com/en/main.og

Starts Dec. 1. Had my fill of the closed beta. A lot of players from the TW and Korea versions, but I got mostly up to speed after 4 days or so. Will anyone be ORE WA GUNDAMing with me?

ok, no offense, but this game is shit.....
I bought $10 worth of coins cause I want to roll some caps, now I regreat spending that $10 and my time on it.
Compare this game to Elsword and it makes that game seems like heaven while elsword is fill with dick moves by the pencil necks just to trap people to spend real money on the game just to make it "playable".

You're sending me mixed signals here. Assuming you meant SDGO on that second part.

It's more fun once you learn how to play. I went into the week long cb knowing I'd lose a lot because I didn't know the game. I sucked so hard that someone pointed out whoever's team I was on ended up losing. Now I do know the game though and can take down the big boys with a rank C. It's like anything in life-you can only get better if you do it. If it's not fun then there's no reason for you to play, but the ones you're losing to are the ones that went through what you did and kept playing regardless.

I didn't spend a single penny on this game and it's pretty enjoyable to me. What the hell did you do?

[KBTKaiser]

spending real cash on the gacha balls is your first mistake. that money is better invested in boosting hangar space.

[Ledgem]

Wow, they totally ripped off Sega's Virtual-On, one of the greatest and most innovative fighting games made (in my opinion). The gameplay and controls seem to be the same, and even the sound effects are the same. They've built on a few other things... interesting.

no, just no. I rolled 3 caps on that 7500 caps and I stopped when I got heavy arms since that was my favorate Gundam of all times. The rest is sitting in the account. I got it to custom 1 and went on pvp only to find myself being cannon fobber for all those people with the f*cking "exclusive" wing zero. The game's controls are sticky at best, it's unresposive and the fact that all those wing zero assholes spams beam blasters from the other end of the map out side of everyone who is not a wing zero's range is just retarded. On top of that, they guard almost every f*cking shot on them, so not only you can't hide from them, you can't hit them either.
You can argue that I don't have to pvp, but then you must of "magically" skipped the lvling all together or never actually play the game and just be a poser to this game just for the sake of arguing with me. Let me paint you a picture of what pve is like in SDGO: there is only 2 real difficulty in this game in pve modes: easy mode and "constantly being backstab stun 3 hit kill you and fail" modes. So people either just stay in training channel to grind very easy mode or they sit there for an hour hoping there is someone that will come play with you in anything higher than "normal" mode. If I am going to sit there for hours just wait for a party to run stuff, I did still be playing FFXI, at least I have other stuff to do that is 10X better in FFXI than that.
Moreover, the whole point of this game is pvp, if you tell me that I shouldn't be playing pvp in a game that the end goal is pvping, you might as well walk into a daycare center and demand them to sell you porn.
In conclusion, f*ck this game, f*ck their gay exclusive OP shit, f*ck their retarded pve, and f*ck their f*cking f*cking f*cking shitty "all you have to do is stunlock to win" combat system. Oh and f*ck bandai for ever allowing this to exists.
If I want to play a SD mecha, I did go back to cosmic break; and trust me, I am not pissed off because I spend $10 on this mess that you call a game, I had spent over $1000 in CB alone. No, I am pissed off because they got my hopes so high up and never delivered.

In other words, you don't know how to play =/. You got one of the great suit and all you did was losing, yet you blame the game system.

[gummybear]

You got one of the great suit

Really?! last time I check, heavy arms is B rank, wing zero is A-S rank. They are on completely different levels. Most high end grunt type suits are B, while gods starts at A-R.

[Elvin]

Wing zero is a normal A rank. I beat 2 wing zeros in a 2 vs 2 map with a rising gundam (rank b) and a rick dias (rank c) as my partner on the flattest map there is (gundam fight). They're easy to the point that I like seeing them on the opposing team. If ranks still bother you, it just means you haven't played enough yet.

The only AS rank currently in the game is force impulse, which you get from the PO2 quests.

No, seriously. Rank mean jack shit. It only means the cost is higher and you have to play much more carefully. There are great C-rank suit, too. The only one who their cost isn't equal to their power is S rank.

ok, show me video prove that some one using the startup zaku that everyone get for free to completely destroying anyone using a low end rank A machine. Can't do it can you? thought so. Tell me that rank don't matter is complete bullshit, bigger bullshit then when Obama lied to everyone that he will make everything better to get into the whitehouse. You can get your rank C machine up to custom 3 and it still get its ass handed back to you on a silver plate by a rookie rank A. 1 shot from a GM won't chip even 10% of the hp off a rank B machine, but 1 shot from a rank A machine will take at least 30% off, 50% a shot from wing zero from across the map outside the standard range of all non-sniping weapons. The only rank C machine that I know that can even stand a chance of fighting a high end rank B is the gunbarrel dagger, and you need to spam the dragoons and run like a boss to even have a chance of taking someone higher rank than it in a head on fight.

[KBTKaiser]

...there are certain units that shouldn't even be bothered with. EVER.

Training MS A/B and GM Sniper Custom are among these. Just...please, don't even attempt to issue that challenge. You'll only be pointed at and mocked.

Now I know you are just suck at this game and don't bother to do your research.
Hey, just take a machine gun and go up to the tank's face, then smash it and call your gun suck. Lower rank suit should just act as lower rank suit. If you can't trade 2 of your C rank suit for one of the enemy A rank suit, then you should look at how you played.

I can just beat you with a rank c. What's your ign?
And deep inside you must know your own argument is BS if you have to choose the "startup zaku" of all suits as an example.

Few questions while I'm enjoying myself with the game (Raider Gundam). How many custom levels can you keep going to add extra points to your mobile suit's stats? I just have a feeling it can't be infinite since that would be a little overpowered. Also what does Agility do?

Max custom levels depend on the suit (from 2 to I hear 4 on some C ranks), you can check on your suit's status screen (bottom right should say I, II, etc.) Quest suits are usually custom 2, blueprint suits and gacha are usually custom 3. Then there's the overcustom system, which I don't know whether is implimented yet. It's like upgrading in mmo's (ie. there's a chance of failure).

From what I understand, Agility pretty much lets you turn around quicker. Say you're meleeing two suits, but one's on your left and the other's on your right. High agility lets you attack one and then turn mid-attack to hit the other. If you ever cursed your suit for not turning fast enough, then agility would've helped with that.

And now this is in SEA (Singapore, Malaysia and Philippine), anyone playing it over here?

[Elvin]

Since this thread was revived, let me correct my earlier statement about agility. Agility reduces animation time (ie the time it takes to shoot a beam or do a melee attack). Movement and attacks in general feel smoother if you raise them.

[JokerD]

I thought it was the delay between the clicking and movement onscreen.

Anyway a lot of the game lies on knowing your own MS. Rock doesn't mean you should go charging into the enemy. But papers have to be real patient.

Having said that the SEA edition right now a having Seed MSes ruling as A classes.
