Just got the flight module and now I can meet a giant alien dragon chilling inside a mountain. Best game keep getting better

 

[desu]

so i have plenty of weapons to make (level 20, 40 and 60) but no armour to make?? only level 1 armours??

how do you get armour and skell schematics?

LV60 Skells (and their dev plans) are unlocked after beating the story.

I never payed attention to what is unlocked but did you get more manufacturers/upgrade them? I remember that some their images had some neat looking armors.

 

[ultimalionbgh]

Is there any way to re-view the cutscenes again? I started using the screenshots functions late.

 

[Cramoss]

How's the Sniper class?

 

[Lexxism]

lol. This is what I get for not browsing the emanual of this game. I didn't know there's an auto-run which I can use for easy money. No need for strings to keep the left analog up

Also, how long do you get the revenue and miranium from FN sites? 15 minutes? 24? 30?

 

[Qurupeke]

How's the Sniper class?

This is what I use right now. It's good but slow and actually I'm not really satisfied with the sniper part. Javelin is awesome though, especially if you want electric damage.

An hour I believe.

A question btw about the mission "Yardley's Scheme": where do I find a california sunset in Primordia?

 

[StarStabbedMoon]

Lmao these Skell exams are the biggest pile of bullshit ever. Hey we need you to

Spoiler

kill a bunch low level shit despite the fact that you've already done all this a hundred times over.

Somehow THIS is what proves you're ready to be a Skell pilot!

beagflea squashes are the one true test. the other 7 quests are just red herrings.

 

[Dineren]

You should be able to find it in most caves I believe.

 

[Azuran]

HB.......

Oh man, someone please tell me how do I unlock him?

 

[Kinsei]

How's the Sniper class?

Slow and Boring. But maybe I just feel that way because I'm coming off of the FMJ class which really lets you rack up damage fast with combos.

 

[MouldyK]

Got Kitty Ears...meaning that Display Headgear had to be Turned On and the rest of the girls had to have Sunglasses instead of big hulking Helmets:

 

[aravuus]

Man, come on. I just want to continue the main story, why do I gotta grind affinity with Gwin? And I don't even know where the second affinity mission I gotta do is

Fucking locks

 

[SoraanTribal]

LOL, the second heart-to-heart with Elma is hilarious if you choose the last option on one of the questions.

Spoiler

Choose Elma as the pet.

Man, come on. I just want to continue the main story, why do I gotta grind affinity with Gwin? And I don't even know where the second affinity mission I gotta do is

Fucking locks

Which story mission requires that?

 

[Neoweee]

So, somebody said that your AI friends have 100% success rate to not have their Skells get destroyed for repairs.

Uh, mine have 0%, and it is kind of game-ruining. Even with just one companion being dumb. If I had a full squad of mechs, it would be over an hour of revenue lost per wipe.

What am I missing? The manual says repair should be free, but, nope. WTF?

 

[aravuus]

Chapter 11. One of the affinity missions you need to do before requires 1 heart with Gwin.

 

[desu]

jumping out of your skell after the fight and choosing "Return to skell" from the menu instantly respawns the enemy so you can fight it again

Wish I had gotten that idea when I was still grinding stuff, would have made a few things a lot easier.

Man, come on. I just want to continue the main story, why do I gotta grind affinity with Gwin? And I don't even know where the second affinity mission I gotta do is

Fucking locks

Yep, that part totally annoyed me as well. Do some missions from the Mission Board, sadly took me like 1h to fill up that first heart, super annoying.

Also I just unocked my first LV60 super weapon blueprint, damn those stats :O

Have you given them a Skell without insurance?

 

[Dad]

Where do I go to insure my skell? I'm too scared to take it out before I insure it. I know some bullshit surprise mob is just waiting to smash up my ride

 

[desu]

Comes with 3 right from the beginning.

 

[aravuus]

I've been doing so many generic missions that it almost feels like the mission board is giving me less and less to do. Can't close, re-open to get new gathering quests, for example.

Goddamn it, this is gonna take me a while at this rate. Fuck you Gwin, why don't you see how lovable I am?!

 

[zroid]

Level 20 and I haven't started chapter 4! What am I doooiiiiinnnnggggg

 

[Dad]

Comes with 3 right from the beginning.

Oh? Maybe I just don't understand how the insurance works then

 

[Neoweee]

Have you given them a Skell without insurance?

Yes, the insurance ran out. That should be irrelevant, though, according to the manual (and logic, I guess?) Insurance only pays to replace when it would otherwise be wrecked.

So I guess it is a bug? Not having insurance takes priority over it not being wrecked in the first place?

 

[desu]

Oh? Maybe I just don't understand how the insurance works then

Well whenever you loose your Skell in a fight a mini game will popup. If you get a perfect you just have to get back to the barracks to get your Skell back, no insurrence will be used up, otherwise you will loose one. Apparently if you loose all the insurances you'll have to pay quite a bit for repairs.

This confuses me because the party members who use a Skell should (so I've been told) get a perfect every time so no insurance is used but when I get to the terminal it tells me that insurance has been used to recover the skell (or something like that).

Huh, that's an... interesting system. Thanks for the info though!

There's a fundamental bug in how repairs and insurance work for your teammates.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Ready to start Operation Skell!

 

[alvis.exe]

Feel like now's a good time for me to start messing with augments.

In XC, when you opened up the gem equip menu, you could see which gems were currently equipped to your character, which gems were currently equipped to other characters, and which gems were currently equipped to armor not in use. Is there anything like that here or am I going to have to be very careful about unequipping augments off gear I want to swap out?

 

[Azuran]

Welp, I think I broke the difficulty of the game with Duelist. Iron Knuckle + Conflagrant Edge + Offensive Stance + Magnum Edge+ Burning Blade + Incendiary Blade does insane damage on everything that doesn't resist thermal damage.

And the best part is that you never have to worry about TP since Yamato Spirit + Rising Blade takes care of that quickly when you're under Offensive Stance.

 

[ChickenHunter]

There's no way to check if you have any insurance left, though.

And there's a fundamental bug in how repairs and insurance work for your teammates.

The stat box for your skell clearly says how many Insurances you have left on that skell.
And AI teammates' skells blowing up doesn't consume any insurance. They effectively perfect the QTE each time

 

[Dineren]

There's no way to check if you have any insurance left, though.

And there's a fundamental bug in how repairs and insurance work for your teammates.

You can see the amount of insurance is left when looking at the stats of your skell on barracks hangar terminal.

This confuses me because the party members who use a Skell should (so I've been told) get a perfect every time so no insurance is used but when I get to the terminal it tells me that insurance has been used to recover the skell (or something like that).

I think it always says that regardless if you succeed on the QTE or not. When I first had my skell destroyed it said it used insurance, but it didn't actually take any away.

 

[StarStabbedMoon]

There's no way to check if you have any insurance left, though.

And there's a fundamental bug in how repairs and insurance work for your teammates.

You can check how much insurance you have at the blade barracks hangar among the other skell stats.
Are you sure it's the full salvage of a skell that you're paying for? I'd be very surprised if an hour of revenue would be able to pay for the salvage of a full squad, I'd think it would take much longer (millions of funds).

 

[desu]

There is? Just go to the barracks!

Check at the bottom right (where I actually lost one compared to the 3 it comes with):

 

[SoraanTribal]

So dumb question maybe, but do you get full class exp when you are in your skell fighting as opposed to on foot?

 

[MouldyK]

Ready to start Operation Skell!

Your people are looking dapper compared to my Girl Band!

 

[Neoweee]

Ah, tiny font, was too far away. Whoops.

The bug seems to be that if they don't have any insurance left, they will fail the QTE 100% of the time instead, essentially. The bug only matters if you use up the insurance with your main character, and then swap that Skell to a teammate.

It comes down to not being able to give your teammates second-hand Skells.

 

[kuroneko0509]

anyone know where/how to trigger the normal mission 'Lakeside Getaway'?

I need it for an affinity mission

You need to do a quest called "Water Woes". Both can be found at the Water plant in the residential district.

I'm curious, which affinity mission needed that?

 

[Raide]

So dumb question maybe, but do you get full class exp when you are in your skell fighting as opposed to on foot?

I think you do. I have certainly ranked up in my Skell.

 

[desu]

This confuses me because the party members who use a Skell should (so I've been told) get a perfect every time so no insurance is used but when I get to the terminal it tells me that insurance has been used to recover the skell (or something like that).

Are they using a Skell with 0 insurances? My team mates have been wrecking their Skells way too often and all of my Skells that are used by AIs still have their full insurances.

 

[Matt Attack]

How's the Sniper class?

Once you get the Afterburner art and level it a bit, the damage is insane (although I haven't played other classes yet). I always giggle when I take out like 30-50% of a Tyrant's HP with a single attack. Javelin is pretty boring as a melee weapon though IMO.

Doesn't sound like a bug to me

If they don't have any insurance left, why wouldn't you pay for the repairs? If you perfect the prompt, it essentially uses an insurance and gives you a new one. If there's no insurance left, it can't use it.

I swear, I learn something new every time with this game... I hadn't notice that at all.

[Jarmel]

Rubber banded my controller while I took care of some projects today. I'm curious how muh money I generated.

 

[Neoweee]

If they don't have any insurance left, why wouldn't you pay for the repairs? If you perfect the prompt, it essentially uses an insurance and gives you a new one. If there's no insurance left, it can't use it.

Why is that that order, and not the other? If it gave you the extra insurance first, and then consumed it, it would function correctly 100% of the time. This is an issue that literally only matters in the pocket circumstance of using up the insurance with your main character and then giving it to a teammate, and directly contradicts the Manual that says it will always be repaired for free for your teammates.

Come on guys, it's a bug. It's a bug that is easily and trivially avoidable if you know what it is, but it is a bug.
