Just grabbed this over MvC2 for a change of pace since I'm so into BlazBlue, and SFIV right now. Hope it is good.

It appears when you've upgraded the Mage Hat Machine. The bombs will appear when you upgrade the Worker Hat Machine. As people have said the blast radius is slightly larger than the throw distance so get out of there after you toss it or throw it off a cliff at people or something.
Of the other complaints that have already been voiced the one that kind of gets to me, though minor, is that the trophies are all bronze. Some of the later ones (e.g. kill 88 people in one match without dying, hit 6+ people with all the area effect attacks in one match, etc.) are really tough and deserve at least a silver or possibly a gold in some cases. I mean, some of them are well thought out, but it feels like they just couldn't be bothered to attach any different values to them although they clearly indicate seem to recognize the tougher ones via the icons.
I'm also not being able to join games. It'll try to connect and then just drop me out. I'm in NAT Type 2 already and everything else seems solid, but it just doesn't want to go. A shame it doesn't even pull up a server list, but just does automatic only. I'd like the option to pick among servers a little bit more rather than just setting it as search parameters.
It's a lot of fun, but some of these things really make it feel a bit like it still needed a bit more polish. Yes, it was hotly anticipated, but considering the beta apparently had some trouble it might have needed a little bit longer before it was ready. For something like this you'd think they'd have run a second beta just before release to be certain that these issues were solved out in the wild and not just internally.

The problem isn't lag, at least i had no lag problems. The big problem is getting in a game lol
That and when the Host leaves. I tries to get a replacement but always fails so the session just goes off.

yea, i like being the worker sometimes. it's more relaxing just building up the fortress and being defensive.

I've played the game for about 30 minutes so maybe it will grow on me but so far I'm not impressed.

I agree. I love being a worker, but it'd be a bit nice if they gave you a bit more to do. Most maps don't have a ton of stuff to build out in the field so once you've leveled up all your hat machines, the catapult, and built what else you can you don't have a lot more building tasks left.
What I think it really needs is a benefit to capturing the towers. Some are secret passages, but most of them don't really do much. Yeah, it's a tall place to shoot from, but sometimes it blocks your shots. What about a mild healing/defensive/offensive field or something? Maybe even just the ability to respawn there? A lot of people have already reported that many games can take quite a while for someone to get the upper hand (or, well, the AI not being very good at working together to get the princess out) and it can be hard to take and hold the towers so some sort of benefit like this would help to keep the momentum going and give the controlling player a strong advantage. Right now aside from being a depot for workers to drop resources off at there isn't a lot of reason to bother in the mid to late game.

Fuckin' hell gladiate mode is hard. I keep dying on Round 12.
People just don't know how to play yet so they don't bother destroying buildings, and don't realize you can carry a bomb out of base with any class. I think the siege weapons can be destroyed by the big bombs so you'll need at least one worker around to rebuild them. They also repair the doors, the shortcut, etc. It's not a class you want too many of though once the upgrade phase is over.mac said:
They're also useful as a healing spot, when you get hurt you can just run inside and eat cake.Belgand said:

kinda weird default control is attack on square instead of r1, especially when you can switch lock on targets with the right analog. right analog really is useless with attack on square when you are trying to voice chat with r2 (where is auto voice chat option?). Again, some polishing issues along with the connectivity and clans. Also saw a fat princess get stuck on a spring yesterday by a cliff lol. Patch please

When we were playing last night, we had really good games. My connection can handle the stress so when I post the game later today come on in. It was a blast last night. And to the launch day complaints, let it sit as the game has been out less than a day.
Full 32p. The only things I can't figure is how to switch the modes as it lets us vote on the next map but not the type of match.

It is interesting to hear that people are having connection issues. I havent had one issue with connecting to a game. I have Nat 2 but I live in Denver. Is it possible the people that are having issues live in a high volume area?

I got this last night and played a bit of the single player campaign with my girlfriend to learn the game, then turned it off to watch baseball. Single player was great fun, I can't wait to get in on the multiplayer.

I downloaded the game last night but won't get to fire it up until tonight.
I just wish I knew how you can tell what a hat-machine needs to have it upgraded. As a worker, I kept feeding a machine the metal deposits, and a +1 appeared above the machine, but it never upgraded. Or maybe it already was upgraded. Does every machine need basically 3 logs and 3 metals?
