Good to know.
Shit yes, cheers man!
Edit: also I'd recommend people call in different Camouflage drops if they notice the scenery changing/are moving into bases.
The blatant 'camo index' isn't on screen any more but camouflage definitely makes an impact

Hey guys, New Zealand here.
I didn't notice the bottom of the picture at first. You shouldn't do that to us. Some have weak hearts.

When I call in my chopper it comes in SECONDS now rather than what felt like over a minute before.

Why are you wasting your time playing video games when you could be outside playing with kiwis?
LOOK AT THESE THINGS:
Alright, but how do they taste?

oh ffs
Interesting.
Doesn't seem necessary to me yet. Most I've seen is 30 minute waiting times for building new MB platforms. And on that screen I didn't see any option for microtransactions.
Longer missions take a full 2-3 hours sometimes, so I don't forsee waiting times being much of an issue.
Yes!

This is for FOBs.
Precisely how I feel. Made very little sense to close it. We count countdown to the games release together if it is releasing at a different time on the PC platform.
The respawning outposts are a little annoying. That's my gripe so far.
Bigger bases I can understand but when I want to get to an objective, it's annoying having to take those guys out for the 5th or 6th time.
Also, there needs to be more routes that don't require you to go on the road. There are some here and there but they are mostly blocked off, especially in the canyon areas in Afghanistan.

Rich people can't wait 30 minutes to build stuff, and it seems a whole lot of celebrities with little free time will like to play this game. I still wonder how FOBs will work out.

Gonna buy the $80 pack.

So how easy is it to get "GNP" or whatever it is that speeds up development?
I don't need any specifics on how to get it, I just want to know how attainable it is.

Ahaa. Okay.
Very easy imo.
edit: no wait, 'that speeds up development'? GMP is just money. You need it to develop things at all. You are buying the things with it, basically.
So, early game havers, any final word on the relevancy of these for FOBs? Do you have to spend money to have more than one, as was hypothesized earlier?

And then there'll be the inevitable "speed up build times by using MB Coins!" bullshit, no doubt. Fuck off, Konami.

Do we know when the companion app goes live? Same as the game?
I think everything is going live tomorrow, on release day.
We have no reason to think anything will go live at all earlier than that.

Yeah, I'm talking about these coins.
Did someone say new drivers...PATCH NOTES PLEASE!

So, outside of FOBs, how do these MB Coins work in the single-player experience? Base building and weapon research can take real time (up to a half hour I've seen so far) but you can use MB Coins to skip the wait? Are there any other uses for MB Coins that aren't FOB-related?
I already bought the $79.95 one because it's a great deal.
PM me if you're interested in pachinkos

Amazing OT, can't wait until I get my hands on this game.
Mission 5 or 6 (don't remember) Spoiler/rant:
It took me ages to find the way to the Honey Bee... And I think I was too fast in that mission. Took me not even an hour. And the Skullface troops are scary as fuck - I didn't even bother using the HB but one time and then I ran for my life. Eventually it worked out pretty well.

I was actually down to buy some MB Coins for a few extra FOB playgrounds and expedited development, but at those prices? Unless the cost of new waters has drastically dropped from Gamescom no thank you.

I've had two difficult missions now where I've been trying to figure out a way in and a sandstorm has hit so I've just cheesed it through everyone without being spotted or headshotting people who I run close enough to, Feels cool but can't help feeling like I cheated the missions

I played it post-patch, and all the things I can develop other than new MB platforms are still instantaneous.
(10 hours in, so early level items)

So roughly $20 each.
