Thanks for the suggestions. I never even considered using freezer geezers for storage space!
Is there no risk of them losing Death Bag items or getting destroyed when out on expeditions?
Also, can you send multiple fighters on expeditions simultaneously?
Wish I had this attitude from the start...
Somehow I got obsessed with preparing defenses and maxed out 5x rank 1 fighters, only to find that you can be raided by people of much higher rank who walk through your army in a matter of seconds.
At the very least, I now have a great deal of storage space (as pointed out by the kind poster above me, hehe).
Oh, one other thing I wanted to ask. How do people arm their fighters (either for base defense or expeditions)? Is it best to give them a complete loadout of 6 weapons? Will they use them intelligently? Is just one per hand enough? Will Shooters use firearms more regularly/effectively than other weapons?
Edit:
Oh wow, Suda on the Switch presentation. Looks like he wants to bring NMH to the Switch in some way.
This is probably a stupid place to ask, but... Is this game good? The reviews don't do it any favors, and although it is free, I'm hesitant about deleting 40 gb worth of stuff to make room.
I love the souls games, and I like grindy games, but that's all I have that i think applies to this game lol

goty 2016 for me. others here love it as well. reviews are probably not the best indication of the kind of game it is. the grind in this game is pretty fun, a ton of items to craft, artwork/extras, secret rooms. tons of stuff. expect to spend over 100 hours easily.

It's basically Monster Hunter + Souls. You might as well clear the space and try it out.

A majority of the reviews have been up very close to release. I don't see how any of those reviewers could have gotten far into the game at that point, unless they just used like 100 death metals. In that case they wouldn't have had to engage with all of the games mechanics either so they'd likely have a terrible time.
Listen to word of mouth on this one.
Awesome, thanks guys. I'll play it over the weekend and drop back in here if I have any questions or concerns. I think the negative reviews may have been because people insisted on rating it compared to souls titles, as opposed to a standalone title, where it likely would have found more success. Thats my guess anyways. I'm just talking out of my ass. I'll know better after I play it myself!

I think I'm going to stop playing.
Past the 2nd boss, and now I keep dying on this new floors, resulting in me farming for coins to buy my dead character... again and again.
Its getting too F2P mobile game bullshit for me.

I just got to play some of the game tonight. I enjoyed what I played. I got to level 11 and I found my first elevator. Did some back tracking here and there. It has familiar gameplay to it.
It sucks hearing you're about to quit.
I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I just hope the aesthetics change the further you get.
I'm more into this than I was Killer is Dead.
I consider myself quite the Souls aficionado, but that's not at all why I like/play this game. It's almost polar opposite in terms of design philosophy, aesthetic sense and taste.
It's only slightly similar to Souls on some very shallow terms, which could also be compared with numerous other (more similar) games.
If you like grindy games, you should be fine.
If you like collecting/upgrading loot and that "just one more run" hook, you'll dig it.
Check out some early gameplay vids to see what you might be getting yourself into.
Personally, I'm glad I didn't read any reviews before trying this, and probably never will. Based on what people here are saying, I think they'd just make me angry, haha.
I've heard that if you put gear that you crafted and bought that the gear will not break, and I confirm that is true. I've had 6-7 characters geared out for expeditions and they have never broken, and when I took the weapons back for my main character they had no durability loss. I've also heard that if you put weapons you found on the floor on them that those will break though, but I haven't tried that.
Also yes you can send every character you have on expeditions except for 1, the one you are currently using. It is better to do 1-hour expeditions than to defend because as you found out people will just kill your defenders and potentially capture them anyway. Even if they aren't higher rank, someone that really wants your stuff can cheese your defenders with brainshrooms for easy goretastic kills. I put 0 characters on defense and just do expeditions with all of them. That is, unless you want the defense trophy but personally I don't really care about trophies.
This game has a weird addiction factor to it. When I first saw gameplay videos, reviews, streams, I thought it looked awful, but I figured it's free why not give it a try... and now I'm 80 hours in and love it.

what loading bug?
I kept using an escalator to enter and exit a certain floor (one of the 28s) in order to farm some bullet tubers and I guess I did it too quickly because I found myself in an infinite loading screen with a recurring error. I had to close the application and restart my PS4 to fix it, and it counted as a death when I got back in. My guy had something like 8 guardshrooms on him and I was having really good luck with material drops before that occurred so it's especially frustrating.

Thank you so very much for this! I'll consider now, just need to get to that grinding mood again.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Currently fighting with Canada and Germany at the same time. Cali's might is still unmatched. Also apparently if the timer runs out it still counts as a success.
I have become a master of what I like to call the "Three Stooges Strategy." It is as follows:
1) Find an enemy with the spear weapon and bait it into running after you.
2) Bait other enemies until you have a nice clump.
3) Run around in a circle, venturing just close enough to the spear-wielder to initiate an attack.
4) Watch as the enemies tear each other apart trying to strike you. Bonus points if you managed to get multiple spear-wielders in the clump.

lol..The only way to play! I tend to bait haters into that trap.
I used the work around in the map rotation to go from 33 to 39 (since that was the next available elevator >_>) with my grade 4 figher, talk about nerve wracking.
Truth be told i handled the whole thing pretty flawlessly up until i got to floor 39. U-10 wasn't even an issue although my weapons were pretty weak against it. Even using two slow shrooms i only managed to get it down to about a quarter of it's health (i forgot to eat my stingshrooms that i brought with me)
But when i got to floor 39 i ended up going against enemies that were 100+ with bowling balls and sabers. They were savages. They easily have to be some of the most OP/cheesiest weapons in the game. Had to use 3 DMs on one screamer all because he had a saber and everytime i thought i could counter his first attack, he'd attack again before i could swing and just combo/stun lock me to death. Mind you i had lifeshrooms as well.
I'm just glad that i'm finally at grade 5. Since i haven't unlocked the elevators between 33 and 39, working my way down should be substantially easier as i grab mats along the way.
Either way, back to grinding lol

So I've just gotten past the tutorial and I'm exploring the hub now. Pretty damn cool so far!!
Quick question though, I took a look at my underworld rolodex and noticed that it has mastery levels for only 32 weapons? Is that all there is in the game? Little disappointing if true, but oh well, can't wait to dive in more!
Music is dope too by the way

awesome, thanks.
yea there are only 32 weapons but they evolve as you level them up. some have added elemental damage or variations on the original.

gotta keep making your way up the tower. you unlock higher tier fighters you can purchase with more skill slots the higher up you go.
Ah, I remember uncle death mentioning something about that I think. Is that why there are limits on how much I can level my current character? I have only five slots for each attribute.
Yes, the level cap raises for higher rank fighters.

Do raids that you pick from the Random category not give Fight Points, even if your faction is at war with your opponent's faction? The opponents have the war icon, my character gets the war boost, yet no Fight Points after the raid.
It's really annoying, since my faction is at war with two others and the Fight category only gives me players from the faction whose war timer ends later. I want points in the war that ends sooner...

Where did you find the blue print?
Didn't have one. I upgraded iron to red hot iron, then red hot iron to death burner.

That is weird. The only times you don't get pts are, if you failed once at a raid or if you reach a threadhold, but i think that the latter one is a bug. In our last fight once getting around 5000pts the server was giving me always one specific player that was in a completely different region, and i couldn't get anymore fight using favourites or random with people that my team was in a war with.

Can you specify in regards to the "failed once at a raid" part?
I have also have encountered, in previous wars, the bug where after some point the game starts offering me one opponent over and over again, except they're always unreachable (raided by others etc.).

Basically if you
-get killed in a raid
-run out of time before killing every defender and breaking the safes
then you fail.
If you fail you cannot participate in the war actively anymore. However if you jump back into the train it won't count as failure, iirc. So basically break the safes and run back to train is probably the saves thing to do, if you have express ticket activated.

Wow, I did not know about this at all. Thank you!
That's probably it, I might have died on one of the numerous war raids and that was it for Fight Point gaining. Still gave me the HP & Rage meter buff when fighting war opponents from the rando raid list, so that added to the confusion.
All in all I have 1404 attempted raids and 1318 of them were successful, so I haven't really cared about getting killed during them. Will keep the war raid penalty in mind from now on, though. Thanks again!

how'd you hold onto all that SPL? we're you raided in the process?
