Remember, weapon stats carry across characters, hitting level 20 with any weapon gives it an insane boost in damage (level 19 is +51% damage, level 20 is +61% damage)

Shit, I need to keep crafting machetes and boost those skills on the first floor. Only thing powerful are my two hands!

Does this game have much of a story past the introduction? I'm not a fan of the gameplay, but the setting and characters intrigue me

It's random that after defeating an enemy fighter they get stars over their heads, allowing you to capture them. Seems relatively rare.
There is. The comic book pages you collect on the tower tell the story of the bosses, Mother Barbs videos in the arcade have further background info, and the bosses have some character cutscenes too.
(Only seen the first boss cutscene, but it may have been one of the best I've seen in a long time)
Create a new fighter when the higher ranks are available. As you progress up the floors you will get emails from Uncle Death letting you know the new ones are ready
I didnt pay attention during the few raids I ran, but do you get EXP also?
If it's any consolation, throwing the explosive shroom would have probably hit you too. If it's the area I think of (in floor 3, description matches it to a tee), that was a bitch for me too, but I managed to survive it by circling them tirelessly and letting them hit each other. Man it was fun to watch the map itinerary replay on that.
Unless I'm understanding your question wrong, you don't "capture" players; you get your own haterized characters back if you find them and kill them. Your very first character, the one you play at the tutorial, gets killed by a sniper; and then your second character faces them as the first thing they do, to show this mechanic. But it can happen again if you die, don't pay to resurrect, and then find and kill their haterized form with another character.
No, in my first raid , one of the enemies characters got defeated by me and was on the floor in a dazed manner. I was able to pick him up and bring him back on the train with me and keep him hostage in my bathroom. I tried to do it again but it hasn't given me the option again . Not sure if I have to do something special to trigger the dazed state or if it's just random.
Ah ok so random. Thank you.

Have they resolved the sever issues since launch? Really want to get back in. I've been busy all week.

Yes, but if the gameplay doesn't hook you I'd recommend you move on.
I didnt plan raiding anyone because that seems asshole-ish, but now that i did it to get my revenge on someone, i can totally see the benefits. Got me a bigger Freezer and Bank super fast.
I had 0 problems.
I had 0 problems.
Not sure if you still need this info but I just found a bunch in Metakojiya (purple line level above Wanoki)
Yes Gameplay is king in this game. If that doesnt hook you, you may as well read what the story is about on Gamefaqs or something

So there isn't a lift on every level?
I sometimes get confused coming out of a lift and will end up at the down escalator!

It a lift on every Floor yes, but not every room/section.
Sometime you have to go down to another floor and go back up to the middle section where all lifts/elevators live

Been leveling different types of characters. Striker and Collector are by far my favorite. Skill Master and Attacker were trash tbh
Right now gonna try to max a shooter and try that out. No idea what the benefit of lucky star is though?? A chance at better loot and/or higher crit chance??

Omg. I'm in such pain right now. My first expedition into the 2nd area. Running a grade 2 collector that I did a quick run with in the first area. Was stocked up on supplies and was making a good run into strange and scary territory. I'm packed with blueprints and materials. If only I could make it back to the elevator, but I have no idea where I am so I'm slowly just creeping around making sure I can survive until I find an elevator.
When suddenly I hear a sound like am alarm blare up in my speakers. I'm wondering wtf it is but I continue to creep along. Until I see a level 200 dude walking right down the path I need to go to make it to the elevator. Another alarm blare and he turns around. It's one of the jackals, the dude with the gun. He teleports near me and I try to make a beeline for the elevator. I get one shot in the back.
I think I'm done for a few hours.

So should I switch my character with any that return from an expedition?
Also how do I increase my death bag limit again?
Oh and for those that hadn't figured it out yet, Meijin being a pro gamer is a nod to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_Meijin
Then again Meijin means a professional in a field or the like so it counts still
Man I wish Uncle Death would call me more in the tower, I like his ramblings.

Different bodies have different bag sizes, collectors have the most and higher grade bodies have a slot ortwo more thsn yhe previous grade.
I like how Meijin has 8 frames to hand out tips during his ultra combo. That dude would be the best at pre-patch SF5.

Pretty much. Time to start replacing them to upgrade your defenses and climb higher.

Got a few questions for people further ahead than myself.
Highest floor I've gotten to is 3 but I've already almost maxed out all my attributes. What happens when I have maxed everything out (5 on each stat)? Are you just supposed to start playing another character?
My guy is discribed as an all arpunder, how to I pick a fighter or one of the other classes?
Anyone find any Katana like swords? If so what level were you on?

Once you reach Floor 6 you will unlock 2 new fighters to buy.

If you used up all your free slots in the freezer, you can either buy a new slot using splitium or recycle one of your current fighters. You will unlock new classes as you progress futher. But save it until you beat the first boss, Max, on stage 10. After level 10 you get access to class 2 fighters, that have a max level of 50.
But after finsihing the first mini boss i think you get access to collector and striker, iirc. Like i said it might be better to wait until you get to stage 10, unless you want the collector to gather items for R&D.
Not sure if there a katana, but you can get a machete around stage 10 or less. IIRC you can find them in the red boxes before stage 10, if you are lucky.
The preview at PAX West mentioned two-handed katanas.
I'm not sure where the blueprints are though.

This game does native 4k right? Anyone with a pro have any impressions?

Got so excited about the free time I had I used an express day pass even though I was planning to raid a lot. Whoops. At least the train ride looks cool
Has anyone gotten anything besides gold from the gold boxes? (the suitcase looking ones, not the one in your waiting room), I'm starting to consider ignoring them if they're in the arena looking rooms.
Edit: You can't get raided while you're playing right? I'm gonna set my radio station to 000 and stack all my fighters in the actual waiting room so people think it's a freebie at first

I have a pro but no 4k tv. At the very least, I cam say it looks good and it runs very smoothly.

I've gotten (rare?) materials from those gold cases. You absolutely can get raided while you are playing, as long as you aren't in your waiting room.

Ah okay, it's the waiting room that's the trigger.
I'm trying to grind to get the freezer expansion that costs 32k. I feel like this is a mistake until I get better teams, but I'm gonna go for it.

Is there a break down on what the stats do?
I think it's on the last page of your rolodex. It also comes up the first time you use the mingo head

Yep, check the Mingo Head entry in the Barbs section of the Rolodex.

There's a character I saw with like 2000+ souls (or whatever the blue currency is), I tried to raid them and the game crashed. The hell is up with that? This happened twice. First time I thought it was just a regular crash. Twice? Fuck that. I'll screencap it if I see them again.

This game is so fucking rad. Just finished the 10th floor and beat the first boss. Going to get a Tier 2 All-Rounder leveled up then make a bit of headway into the next few floors and then start replacing all my current crew with new Grade-2 versions.

If their name started with YTYMk-1@ then they're NPCs. You can get them to show up in the raid list by backing out and selecting raid over and over again. I usually find one after 3 or 4 tries. They're easy, have predictable numbers of defenders, and always have decent amounts of kill coins and splithium. I've invaded about 30 NPCs and never had a retaliation invasion from one. I've yet to see any real person with as much currency banked as an NPC but I don't do TDM very much.

No, it wasn't a bot, it was something Blankets, definitely not the YTYM thing. Wish I could get the video, but the game crashing means it didn't save.
