There's nothing interesting to talk about.
Is the capture the flag any good?

>>5515967
Capture the flag? This is news to me.

>>5515995
The arena has a second tab for team battles. You can play capture the flag games in that mode. (using the last two maps)

It's been there since the beginning. Not one person has played a team game.

Is there any way to leave a clan?

How does shaden's booster work?

>>5516046
Press escape key. Chose "clan" in the drop-down option. Then on the bottom right there's an icon.

>>5516062
You gain a ridiculously long one-shot boost gauge.

When the gauge depletes to zero, you can't boost anymore.

Use the SUB ability PURGE attached to the boosters to remove the auxiliary boosters and regain normal boosting.

>>5516083
Thank you, such a small button is easy to miss.

Should I use the promotion or the lv8 limit remover on my Crimrose?

>>5516715

No silly, evolve her into Seraph Rose.

>>5516715
If you want the extra HP/cost, level her up to 10 (like 35kish exp) or else just make it into a seraph.

fucking Winberlls is ruining my Jikuns.

>>5516783
How much cost will a seraph promoted at lvl 10 have compared to one at lvl 8?

>>5516819
I don't remember. I think it was 60 more.

>>5516841
do you know the actual numbers? Also, is there any way to make that cost loss up if the promotion has already been done?

What could i do with 2 Buster Gatling guns? I really like how much ammo they come with, but their power and accuracy feel like they're only good for quest mode.

>>5516903
mine had 770 cost when I made her at level 10. And you can use the cost increase chips, but that extra cost is gone forever.

>>5516919
STRONGEST advice:

1) Buy a Hatigarm.
2) Attach both Buster Gatlings to it.
3) DRIFTNG WOLF THAT RUNS, GUNS, HITS AND RUNS.

I don't think that's really useful though.

>>5516936
That actually sounds fucking fun. I'll give it a shot.

>>5516936
Oh, is there a difference between the shop Hatigarm and the one in the Garapon?

>>5516936
>Buster
>wolf

There's no point in using two gattling guns, because everytime you aim at someone firing two your shots just end up bracketing the person instead of hitting them.

>>5516948
Their LGs have different SUB melee attacks. Original one has GARM TACKLE and machine has GARM SLASH.

As you saw with my Reimarusa Hameisarei, I have the machine version.

Also, bad news: You're going to have to level up your Hatigarm to actually do the dual Buster Gatlings (level up once if you're using Aquila AMs, twice for Shaden AMs).

>>5516977
ARE YOU OKAY

>>5516981
Isn't that the point of strafe running? Hatigarm doing that seems like drifting though.

>>5516981
>>5516994
Actually, okay, using both of them at the same time is pretty terrible, but having an extra gatling gun gives you double the ammo (and if you're a fan of Tuning Up, then you can make two different versions!).

I still try to use at least one air. The biggest problem with them is they are weak to explosives (which are the most common weapon thpe) and can't get blast guard (which everyone should get).

That literally means they take 4x bomb damage compared to everyone else.

>>5517077

No, only air thinks there's too much explosive. I'm art and I've never needed or wanted blast guard.

Dual bomb launchers are pretty cool, if you can hit with them.

Help I've spent 200 hours on the game and still can't hit anything and barely pull above 0 points with decent players and get constantly raped even with strong weapons

>>5517154

What weapons are you using?

>>5517108
>ART: Melee is overpowered!
>AIR: Holy shit, too many explosives!
>LAND: These buggers are too fast for their damage!

Sure is nice...

>>5517154

Shop destruct girl is very strong and easy to use. Get her the lvl 6 and 9 core upgrades and use an assault rifle or something. Other than that, large air with shaden boosters and omega blasters are also very easy to use.

>>5517205

Not quite. Land is probably the most powerful, since they're the least likely to be targeted. Everyone loves shooting arts, arts with good anti-air loves shooting air but no one really sees land as prime targets.

>>5517205
>ART: Melee and Air are overpowered!
>AIR: Holy shit, too many explosives + I cant hit anything!
>LAND: Jajajajajajahauhuehuewwwwwwwww555

>>5517205
>SUP: Sit still, you shitfaces, I'm trying to heal you!

>>5517211
I would love Shaden BS if it wasn't LL. The only other L AIRs you can put it on besides Shaden itself either doesn't have enough COST to hold it or doesn't need it at all.

>>5517233

I almost never play air, but with shaden boosters and certain maps I can at least kill 1-2 robots worth of hp before I go down.

>>5517369

raid/assault rifle, armor breaker. Learn to aim and hit.

>>5517395

Tiny Exia, do want.

>Get Lateral Laser LGJ

Worst Garapon roll ever.

>>5517935
Stop using the beginner Lily, retard.

>>5517935
use garapon lily or put it on something else, duh. I have one on my winberrl

>>5517935
ART can't use the laser anyway QQ more

>>5517965
I was more on pointing out that her legs were attached to her anyways.

>>5517947
>>5517954
Well, I could attempt to get garapon Lily (or better yet, just get Lily from the shop) but I'm hedging my bets on something else in garapon that's more... interesting. Being broke sucks.

They're talking about our version. I have no idea what they're actually saying though.

>North American version of rowdy mess with 4chan

What are they saying about 4chan?

Google translate says they're talking about new gacha roll character, CB jp is dieing with less than 500 players, general game discussion and some other junk.

Air is fine. It's too hard to say what needs balancing in this game because this version is LAG LAG LAG, the japs don't have to deal with this shit.

>>5518290
Their "dieing" population is about the same as ours if those numbers are accurate. I've heard they have something like less than 100 players across all channels, and that some japs are migrating to our servers.

>>5518302
the only real balance issues I can see right now is because it's beta with ghostree money and a billion garapon rolls for everyone

I remember in one match. I picked an enemy Aquila and chased him all over the fucking map with my Crimrose until I killed him. He must've been so fucking pissed because he couldn't get me off him.

So yeah, AIR is pretty awesome. The awesome mobility that AIR has makes up for any weaknesses. That's why I was able to chase the Aquila anywhere.

That Hatigurm machine though is pretty crazy. I don't even play melee and I get over a 1:1 damage to BP ratio with it.

Isn't today the last day of open beta?

>>5518302
What weapon do you use? I haven't really found a weapon I'm comfortable with on S AIR.

Air seems a bit overpowered if you can dodge hits and make alot of your own. That stardust cannon has the biggest fucking hitzone too, you never miss with that shit

>>5518373
Thanks.

>>5518369
two Auto beam rifles. Their ammo is pretty limited even though they fire in bursts, and some games I'll run out on both guns if I don't die that round. Absolutely love them though, Limited Plasma Gun and normal Plasma Gun are good alternatives though.

>>5518393

Any more tips on playing air?

>>5518403
get alot of fly, once you have enough you'll be able to bolt out of your power spot quickly, get off 20 shots on the frontline with the power shot speed boost and run back home. Just rinse and repeat this strategy. And it works well with the range on those auto beam rifles.

>>5518403

I roll my seraph with a tuned paralyzer that has double the stun and a mini bazooka.

Everyone who plays air is retarded, so you can trash aquilas and other seraphs with the bazooka

Double stun paralyzer is a goddamn troll gun. Circling around sturbangers stunning them faster than they can turn. It's hilarious.

Auto beam guns? Eh, they're alright I guess.

>>5518419
>>5518403
Another good tip would be to take Sniper sight (Enemies aren't notified that you've locked on to them) and Stealth System (Don't show up on radar).

Oh yeah, those beam rifles are absolutely wonderful. The primary reason they're so good is their range. I couldn't stand those fucking bazookas. With auto beam rifle I can actually fly high on the enemy power spot and not draw attention to myself as much.

I never run out of ammo though. That's probably because I don't main my Crimrose. Though admittedly, I get most of my three star scores when I bust out my Crimrose and pew pew at everything I see.

>>5518434
> Double stun paralyzer is a goddamn troll gun.

I'm definitely going to have to try this. So even with 20+ TGH, it still stuns a Sturmbanger, huh?

I wanna try some tune ups but I don't know where to find the rainbow chips.

>>5518521

Yep, you can stun sturbangers and toyboxes. It's not like lights though, gotta plug a good 2-4 shots in. But that shouldn't be a problem for you. Beware that I think the double stun tune adds +50 cost I believe.

>>5518546

Gigan busters mission drops rainbow chips.
Also bee drops them on all levels. Crystal drops it on lvl 2 and 3.

It takes ages to get a bunch of them though, so be prepared to rage when your tune up fails.

>>5518598
> Beware that I think the double stun tune adds +50 cost I believe.

I've got enough space at the moment.

The problem though is that now I will not be able to fit both Sniper Sight and Stealth System on my seraph. Let alone any TEC tune ups.

I'd have to drop my auto beam rifle for that, or maybe drop Quick Boost and/or Quick Jump.... Such hard decisions.

stunning.

I guess everyone went to sleep.

I'm starting to believe Crix on the effectiveness of the Assault/Raid Rifles, they're pretty nice. Pew pew pew.

Anyways, I'm sure all of you know this, but I'm going to put it out anyways.

ALT+Z - Default screen

ALT+B - No UI, direct-above view, closest zoom

For extra excitement, use No UI (Alt+X) in a battle. Surprisingly for me, it actually speeds up my game; I don't know if it'll be different for you guys though.

what does meteor strike do?

>>5519168

Drops a meteor
What do you think?

>>5519168
You basically smites every enemy players with a meteor on their face, generally hitting between 70-100 damage.

Can really turn the tide of the battle, though it is unlikely to hit players that are moving all the time.

>>5519177
It should also be added that it deals AOE damage.

Is everyone healing at their point? Drop meteors and watch the carnage.

Also keep in mind it'll hurt (and might kill) your allies. If a melee bot is right in amongst the art then it might be a good idea to hold back until the melee bot is gone. Note I didn't specify which teams the bots belonged to.

>>5519168

Ever run gigan busters? Meteor strike spawns like a smaller version of the falling *debries* on nearby enemies which then hits them for 60+ damage. (if it hits) Oh and it also deals a lot of friendly fire damage if your teamies gets in the way.

Japanese fags really took the advantage of otaku

>>5519492

they've already said they won't follow the jp model. why is there always some retard that assumes this on every cb thread?

>>5519466
Speaking of missions, what do you do on that battle ship thing near the end of the second mission, whatever it was called? The one where it's flying around and you shoot off the things on the bottom. My team (randoms) always dies at that point and ends the game, so I'd like to be able to tell them how not to suck.

>>5519492

They're changing the cash bots for the US version. I expect what's likely to happen is we'll get mostly moebots instead of normal bots(IE: Reverse of the nips). Atleast that's what I'd expect. It'd take some real fucking stones to advertise a game as "moe mecha action" and only have a single non-cash moebot.

You can bet your goddamn ass on cash garapon though. I'm putting my bet on $3 a roll. $10 for 5.

>>5519506

Simply shoot at it until it dies. Of course it won't take any damage if you just shoot it, you'll have to shoot the small things sticking out below it.

Just dont stay still.

>>5519506

Oh boy. If you like that, you'll love the stages that come after it.

>>5519526
I don't hate it, I was just wondering if there's something more to it. I'm always the only one who shoots the stuff off of it while everyone else runs around and dies all our life out.

>>5518460
That's the Auto Beam Rifle. The greatest weapon in the game.

>>5519492
>80rt for a lazflamme

I don't mind bots being cash/garapon. Less retarded missile spam is fine with me. I was considering staying around after beta since this is a fun way to kill time, but level limiters being cash only will be a deal breaker for me.

>>5519613
You can get the limiters as drops too I think.

>>5519492
< Gore screaming show

paralysis on a buster gatling sounds pretty sweet. Or is sticking it on a paralyzer always the best option?

Is the Heavy Net gun useful or not? I've stuck it on my Lily Rain, and I'm not sure if it's actually helping or not.

>>5519810
It's one of those weapons that require much skill and practice to actually become useful.

>>5519834
How long is the slow effect for? While I've noticed it for a few seconds, it doesn't seem to last for an effective period of time. Do you need to keep hitting with it? Would a paralyser be a better choice?

The paralyzer seems pretty awesome. Too bad I use a touchpad and can't hit anything with it. Is there anything with large bullets besides the wide beam gun that S AIR can use?

>>5519864
Not very long.

Paralyzers are probably the best middle range support weapon in the game. You can force flyers to the ground with it, drag somebody fleeing towards you and if you have stealth, you can probably go behind an an witting target and paralyze it to death.

>>5519881
Just use a small bazooka, that's got the same sized bullets, faster rate of fire and good damage. Beam gun/beam gun mod also has a good rate of fire.

>>5519883
All right, thanks. I'll switch it out for the paralyser in that case.

What's the method of arms/ornaments being blown off, /jp/? I notice my Lily Rain's Misside arms get blown off in melee frequently. Is it just because melee does that, or is it that Misside arms are very vulnerable to being blown off?

>>5519905
>melee frequently
>melee
That is your problem. You are not supposed to get hit by melee as an artillery bots. Always keep moving and not even staying at powerspot is save when you have melees charging at you.

What're the best weapons for a Hound Dog focused primarily on killing monster bots? Right now I have it using dual bazooka's.

So what is the trick of playing bigger bots?
I am still playing S only bots and everytime I switch up I don't do as well like when I play S Bots.

I really like to see what so great about stardust cannon.

>>5519926
Eh, I like to take risks and flank with buddies. Sometimes it goes pear-shaped. But Handy bazooka+2*Misside+skirt+heavy net does a lot of damage for a five-second burst. I can usually slow down and kill a large bot in that time when they're healing or otherwise hanging back, and then retreat. Sometimes I get caught, of course, but mostly I do a lot more damage than my cost.

>>5519939
>trick of playing bigger bots
Landwise, you've got a lot of extra health compared to small bots, so charge in a group. Then everyone needs to fall back at once while you're getting low on health.

Alternatively if you're arty-ing, just hang back and FIRE ALL GUNS

Air plays exactly the same, I've found.

>>5519967
Most good MELEE LAND BOTS from BRD/DOS max out and with their tough with 50% damage reduction your missiles are actually dealing 1or2 damage most of the time.
Why kill them when you can hit the air for 70+damage?

>>5519881
Use an accelgun, bullets are pretty fast and hit almost instantly, so you don't need to track people down with a mousepad. It's pretty convenient.

>>5519976
'Cause the DOSbots are on my side helping me flank your arty, duh.

And this,
>>5517108
is why you need blastguard!

Lily Rain's core weapon seems lackluster compared to other core weapons. Might have to switch to a destructor girl or something.

>>5520084
Too bad destructor girl parts aren't interchangeable.
2misside arms and 2ancient bazooka is probably the most firepower you can put on your lily.

How do I use this thing? It has so few hitpoints and her arm lasers are terribly inaccurate but I refuse to give up. I want to take my loli robo maid into combat for great justice.

If there were a way to force activate her healing bit without having to damage opponents first that would be godly.

>>5519976
That's why I have a chain vulcan as backup. Combined with hyper shot it makes a quick work of any faggot that strayed too far into its range.

>>5520084
The discs deal pretty decent damage considering their range. But they count as a melee weapon.

Oh yeah Vinductus but, what about in the meantime?

>>5520152

It's Bladine, the BRD Ark.

>>5519976

Toughness only reduces damage from consecutive hits, but the principle is the same. See ground, alpha volley them for like 40-50 damage then ignore them/switch target/get the fuck out if they are too close.

>>5520199
Everyone is using saggytary? Yeah it seems like so, I guess me and "fun things are fun" are partially responsible for starting the fad. People like to copy whatever they see getting top ranked at end of game.

>>5520178
Oh god you're right.

>>5520286
Wait, railgun actually beat dogs, jikuns, zeroes and brynes?

>>5520286
Damn, where did you get all that money! I want several million UC's too!

What's the recommended cartridge setup for Lily Rain?

So basically there is only enough chaos to resurrect one Ark?

Also, what is with those ancient Arks? Did they die or something?

>>5520286
>>5520344
Nope, railgun deals explosive damage.

Okay, so I've been a L air player a lot. Flying high, shooting Stardusts, easy stuff. But lately I've switched to try S air. I'm trying a hit-and-run thing and I manage to survive most if not all of the round, but I find my damage to be pretty low. Is there any particular way I should be doing this, or should I just go tune-up my godawful TEC and try again? Running Auto Beam/Paralyzer with 2x stun.

>>5520371
Whatever you want, as long as you get a blast guard in there if you plan on tackling arty.

>>5520390
Change to light bazooka, hunt down air targets.

>>5520390
Seems like the same setup as me.
I rarely end up as #1 but I am consistently top10 at least.
Averaging about 1.5k dmg with 0cost won't net you top score unless your whole team is shit.

>>5520344

Not really, but it's a very nice counter vs other arties and have much better chances of hitting shadenboosted / 40fly propeller airs.

I do occosionally shoot at grounds, which still does like both 40 ish damage and stuns them which is nice.

>>5520382

No, the arks revive from the powerlevels leaking from robots when they fight. You revive the arks to fight the chaos.

In reality, during high ranked union games on certain maps there's a random chance that one player from either of the teams turns into the Ark for their faction. Arks have like, 4500 hp and are able to do large AoE attacks which does like 30-40 damage/hit.

I am thinking of making an artillery just to kill LND bots.
Any suggestions?
Pumping fly stats and equipping ceramic burner seem plausible.

>>5520446
pacifar med air with more guns? It comes with 2 beam arms already. Art vs land is probably wasting your time because of the explosive damage. Or just a winberyl to trap the land so everyone else can get shots at it?

>>5520481
this is such an easy and effective strategy, I'm personally surprised I don't see it that often.

>>5520481
I already raped them enough with my crimrose.
Making a LND killers with an artilerry bots will be fun. They will thinking oh yeah easy square target on my radar, lets go rape that stupid artillery box.
Then I blow all my land killing guns on him.
Shit will be so cash.

>>5520470
40

>>5520490
No matter what your type, if you get hit by a group you'll die.

>>5520488
I saw it being done most of the time.

>>5520526
Unless you area Misty with a flamethrower and 40walk

>>5520488
you mean the winberyl I guess? Store has the circle thorns which seems to catch them easier. The garapon ones have a kind of wall and a cone.

>>5520286
that, and because gold saggys were apart of a giveaway so there's a thousand or so of em running around; for lots of people who don't/can't ghosttree it's their only large art.

>>5520244
stealthy... sniper... winberrl? with bazookas? hm...

>>5520559
you could say they don't stand a ghost of a chance.

>>5520559
I'd recommend stealthy and sniper on ALL bots that have it. Noobs that don't use radar can't hit you anyway, and experts use their radar a lot and find stealthed bots a nasty surprise. It's a win win, worth the tradeoff for a few bits of tuneups.

I can see it working really well for Winberyl's stun ability.

"Oh hey, that stupid guy over at spawn's just standing there. Must be AFK."

"Eh? He died? That's weird. Must've been hit by arty or something."

>>5520580
I've been trying to level up a build arm just to see how well an art with stealth and sniper sight works. It levels really fast too.

>>5520286
Been trying out abit myself, I find its one of the better arty to shoot down those SDC cannon airs that shit down from above.

What would be a decent weapon to attach to my Hound Dog?

>>5520635
don't use hound dog

>>5520636
It's either that, or this

Both suck hard, and I cant figure out how to receive more than 150UC during arena matches

>>5520617
ah, is standard sagi's attack pretty much instant hit? That would be a HUGE plus

>>5520647

>>5520635
I saw someone with a hound dog with 2 viper shields and 1 byne arm and legs owning up arena. His other bot was a byne with 1 hound arm and 2 viper shields.

So just 2 viper shields and more TGH.

>>5520667
He has parts with internal weapon.
Jikun leg is high tier.

>>5520647
Save up and get a crimrose or roll garapon. Anything is better than a Hound Dog.

>>5520580
The vine skills renders the user unable to do anything at ALL during use. Which means whoever that got trapped are free to just shoot at your sitting duck ass standing right next to them.

>>5520446
use 1 psy gun(psycho formula head works), 1 missile/rocket, stack breakers into rest of the slots, rifle amj if you cant asura.

Once you stunlock an melee they'll be stuck untill your burst finishes. Which is like 140 or more worth of damage dealt to them.

Last question

How does one get tons of UC?
I saw a screen shot of someone getting 30k

>>5520713
In one session? High end quest areas will drop a lot and that's about it.

>>5520713

they were doing quest mode using a 2x or 3x UC/drop card during the weekend, where drop rate and UC gain already is doubled. 2*3 = 6.

>>5520687
they can only shoot you if they were facing you before they were caught. If you are by yourself you shouldn't try to catch anyone.

>>5520744
So should I be going quest mode to farm?

>>5520674
Just rolled a Gathima Salmson
Look for rockets?

Guys, How the bloody shit do I open a .cs file? I want to download the CB skin and can't since I have no compatible program with it

pic not directly related

>>5520754
If you're good or patient. If you're good then you can go through the red gates and make good money after an hour or two.

If you're not good and use the blue gates, (like me), it'll take you at least 5 hours (probably more) before you start making anything decent.

Is it worth it to pump stats all the way to 40? I've heard there are diminishing returns.

>>5520880
I heard anon saying that anything past 10 tec with lily for example doesn't worth it.

It depends how the damage formula go, so don't take my words for granted

>>5520880

There's a noticeable difference in speed in a bot with 35 fly and one with 40 fly. I don't know about the other stats since I main AIR. There are damage equations for STR and TEC on the wiki, so you can look that up for yourself and see what number is the best to leave them at.

>>5520921
>>5520925
All right, thanks. I guess I'll get fly up, then.

>>5520925
really? I had a 39 fly crim fly across the ground area and just make it to the other side. Then my pacifar with 30something do the same and run out a few moments before. Didn't seem like the extra speed was really worth it.

I'd like to know how much the damage reduction from TGH is/works

>>5520921
Got it backwards bro, its anything under 10tec doesn't do anything (same goes for str)
Applies to all bots, not just lily

The damage done by a melee weapon is: (Weapons's Force)* (1 + 0.025 *(STR-10))" rounded
The damage done by ranged weapons is: (Weapon's Force) * (1 + 0.016 * (TEC-10))" rounded

>>5521444
So you can't go under x1.00 for damage if you have under 10 of an attack stat?

>>5521512

yeah you can, and yes it becomes a penalty

>>5520244
I think you mean VERY CHEAP.

I've encountered a Winberrl who would just get within and M1+M2. I know better, so all I have to do is side-dash to get away. But other people aren't so lucky.

I suggest putting a paralyzer for extra effectiveness.

No one is playing in the 15 vs 15 shuffles? Thats all I ever play nowadays.

>>5521852
I fucking hate shuffles.

Too random for me. I'd rather stick with a team, good or bad.

The randomness makes it more balanced. Most of the time. It ends up on one of those bell curves so obviously there will be times where one side wins by 1/4 the BP total. Most of the time though it is close.

I like shuffles because they are usually balanced and all the competitive people are in union wars. I like to just sit back & enjoy the game.

Have there been any events similar to the one scheduled tonight? I'm wondering if I should take my normal setup or switch to something that would be better for boss fights.

>>5522042
every wednesday friday saturday and sunday since open beta started. So yes. It has happened a LOT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHjLl2VNc4c&fmt=22

Man, I just don't get the scoring. I manage to edge out 4th, but then I see that 6th place has slightly higher contribution, slightly higher damage, and we both have no melee or support. And neither of us died.

>>5522205
kill count

>>5522205

damage dealt to power spot adds a bunch to score, however it's not displayed as damage or contribution.

>>5522175
What the fuck, there was a huge two-star bot with low HP and a stardust cannon and he just ignored him and went for the other useless bots with no stars.

>>5522175
poor choice of music. is that your bff

how do i get into events?

>>5522685
http://www.cosmicbreak.com/home/
You'll find information about upcoming (or previous, in this case) events on the front page.

LOLI BUTT

>>5522859
But she's not a loli... or is she?

>>5522875
She's not. She's also a slut for being in that slutty position all the time

There is also a Joey Jones running around

>>5522875
She is a loli with DFC and everything.

>>5522909
Where do I get that D girl skin?

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

>>5522935
I made it myself, like everything else.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to find any skins online.

>>5522652
yeah!

actually no, I've just somehow gotten tired of CB to the point that I find it more entertaining to just spectate players rather than playing myself. Check arena, oh look gaijin is on, SPECTATE!

>>5523001
ಠ_ಠ

>>5522652
yeah!

I tried talking to him, but he barely knows any english - it took him quite abit of time to answer, the poor guy was probably busy typing the lines into some online translator or something.

I saw someone with the ronald mcdonald lancerlot skin. Anyone know where to get it?

>>5523028
i'm pretty sure everybody makes their own skins. you can't find them anywhere

>>5523040

It's on the community page -> skins on the JP CB site.

>>5523228
I don't see any way to download anything there.

>>5522652
you are already dead

.png is there. I thought the Ronald skin was unique the first time I saw it ingame, kinda freaked me out when I saw more people running around with it.

>>5523334
And? Are we supposed to worship it because everybody else does?

Way to mob mentality.

>>5523351
many thanks. It is so amazingly disturbing.

Played Garapon #2. Got 3 Pulsardio Gamma and 4 Thorla Frazia. No Raid Rifle.

>>5515820
>Pulsardio

I hate that thing so much. Talk about bloody imbalanced.

>>5523710
It could be worse; CyberStep could have given Pulsardio the ability to have Stealth System.

>>5523710
haha. You don't have to worry about bad aiming if they don't move. The missiles won't turn the wrong direction if they don't have to turn.

No tree event today. What will I do to pad my earnings?

UC ticket + Arena.

>>5523939
hard to make up the 100k's you spend converting items to materials for tune ups.

>>5523967
Try UC ticket + Arena.

>>5524023
100k's. Multiple 100k. Millions. UC ticket + arena = weeks.

>>5524027
Better than doing nothing.

>>5524027
quests, which are non-existent in the beta, are supposed to give us UC

>>5524027
You could wait until Saturday, but then tonight is maintenance night....

>>5523967
No wonder everyone has double stun paralysers.

---

Actually, fast question:

Do UC tickets work with event prizes?

>>5523967
Yes, be sure to buy 3x UC tickets for those money tree events.

Little brown Crimrose

where the hell is the event?

>>5524267
Nevermind, found it. At least 200 people want to participate in the event but there's only one 30 person room. Way to go, GMs.

tempura is a chicken lol

Damn Wiz sure has a lot of CP. Why does it have so much CP?

>>5524348
we don't sleep

>>5524358
/jp/ - youkai/general

Hey, does anyone know what the main area theme is saying besides "brilliant"? It's been bugging me since the start.

You know I think they are going to release those 3 ark things soon.

Event's just a quick boss fight, nothing too special. Got in the first round.

What clans are /jp/?

>>5524500
No reward money?

>>5524504
Just look for the guys spamming epic memes.

>>5524523
That's always been /m/.

The CB ends today?

>>5524505
Nah. It's the same stuff you get from doing a regular union war, except you happen to fight a boss. That's what happened the first round, anyway.

>>5524552
Shit... I only have 30k left and new robots come out tomorrow. I hope only one is good.

>>5524569
New bots?
Where'd you hear that?

>>5524574
They're doing the weekly maintenance tonight, so we'll have new bots in the morning. It's been this way for the past couple of weeks.

Hahaha, tempura told us to retry stage 1 because we sucked too much.

If new robots do come out, that'd be great. I don't know if I'll be there for them though; I'm still broke as ever.

I still don't why everyone wants Ivis. Is it because of her gothic lolita charm?

The robot I really want though is Tesladonna,mainly because it's AIR, it's electric, and it probably stuns like hell. Another reason why I like her is because she's a product of the 1st Robot Design Contest at CosmicBreak's JPN Commu site. It was pretty fun.

>>5524680
Maybe because Ivis is evil and a servant of Chaos.

>>5524698
Everyone wants to be an evil bitch loli?

secretly, I think she's kind of cute, but I have higher priorities

>>5524680
Heh, I'm really looking forward to Tesladonna as well.

Too bad I suck at playing AIR.

>>5524289
lol the BRD room was struggling to get even 20 people to participate, while it seems the other Unions' rooms filled within seconds of being created.

This shouldn't inflect as much emotion in me as it does.

>>5524821
This is why WIZ is super special awesome.

This shouldn't inflict as much emotion in me as it does.

Anyone knows where I can find the Arcantus treasure #6? I'm supposed to find something that looks like a red liquid in a container. This image doesn't help

BATTLETOADS

Ivis is love.

DEEP LOVE.

>>5525047

It's the oil. Area 8's the only one where it's listed on that chart.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret getting Sniper Sight instead of Blast Guard.

>>5525398
looks good to me

>>5525398
that's what resets are for

>>5525624
That's not the point of this whole exercise. I know all about resets.

Hmm, I guess the Japanese were right, there's a declining population after all. Let's go see what's Channel 1 doing...

OH DAMN IT.

>>5525673
Where they being really optimist when they decided to put 6 channels?

>>5525673
Where they being really optimistic when they decided to put 6 channels? They could really do with just 2 or 3. Unless they did it because those other people like being alone.

>>5525683
What do the wet floor signs over everyone mean?

>>5525698
I guess the game's a cult following now, even if it's sometimes advertised on Nico.

Anyways, you remember those star coins? You can't buy star coins like in the open beta, you get one for every 100Rt you spend and during gameplay.

Do you want to know the best way to annoy everyone in the game?

Picture related.

>>5525755
Limit Removers are Star Coins only?

>>5525749
Bazaar. Apparently, you sell parts (!) or something.

I can't get it to work for some reason because the option is darkened for me as you can see in the screenshot.

>>5525770
Nope, however, since you end up with at least 10 Star Coins by Rank 6 (Iron Hero, triangle), you can use those to buy them without having to deal with Rt. That's how I did it!

You can convert 1,000UC to 1 Rt in the Item Shop. I forgot what the Rt to UC conversion rate was, but I'll check later if you want.

I swear, I don't get why everyone thinks that UC robots suck. They think that everyone is going to be stuck in a frog robot and be horrendous at PvP while everyone with cash beats them out.

>>5525673
American version already has like half the people it originally did. They don't even need to bring back the third server.

They should advertise or something, but then again outside of the 4chan/SA community, who would play it?

Maybe if they get an ad with gaia or some similar forum full of wapanese kids.

>>5525798
Questions to you, player of Japanese CB. Are there more missions in the Japanese game then what we have in the beta and if so what are they about? Also how many Bastagant bosses are there? And how are they like compared to Berzelius and Fractulus?

>>5525832
Word of mouth is the best medium of advertisement... but 4chan can't really do internet crusades and actually succeed in getting them to play, can they?

16 Rt converts to 1,000 UC and 80 Rt converts to 5,500 UC. What.

Also, remember the girl robot that one of the GMs used but didn't show up anywhere else? Picture related.

>>5525865
There's one new mission and also a new Bastagant boss.

...those tickets?

I hope you didn't think CyberStep really spoiled you with the open beta, did you?

>>5525977
In what ways can the Bastagant tickets be acquired? Random arena drops were a way, right? If so how often do they drop from the arena?

What do you mean? What is RT?

>>5526092
Engrish server doesn't have it

>>5526012
Yeah, probably, but I don't know the exact drop rates.

Update: Just tried the new mission. Wow.

You play as this girl.

She's a total badass.

When her sword's unsheathed, left click to fire pink rings and right click to use the katana for a six hit combo.

Use her BD to change modes (sheathed/unsheathed).

When her sword's sheathed, press right click with the all blue weapon once to get into her stance, then right click again to unleash the Ouka Raisen, the traditional "slash through everything and sheathe" technique. 12 uses only, goes straight ahead, and it doesn't work on the mission's boss, but it's cool anyways and it travels really far.

You can only use her in this mission....

>>5526241
Isn't that the new wapanese garapon bot? Also, are the garapon Rt only or something BS like that?

>>5526285
Actually, it probably is.

You get her from a gold garapon at Garapon Machine #1 (as of 2010/6/24). Also, every part except for her legs and her boosters are fixed. However, her default weapons make her a wrecking machine anyways.

You can promote her to a new form (unlike Seraphic, it doesn't matter what level you do it as long as it's level eight or higher) which removes the Mode Switch ability from her body and replaces it with the Ouka Raisen attack. All parts except for her boosters are fixed, but her arms are free to equip weapons.

Auto-sage, blah blah blah.

Tell me if you want to get any information from the Japanese server. I don't know when I'll get to it, but I'll try my best.

Night.

>>5526340
SAMURAI ARE BEST

fucking japs still propagate this kind of shit

>>5526531
samurai are the best? in a weeaboo mech game filled with swords and lances alongside heavy artillery and drum weapons?

STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES.

I believe that you need of be of a certain rank to be able to open stores on the jp CB.

Just like how you need to be of certain rank to gift items on our CB.

And yeah, JP servers only has ~450 players connected at any time however a large portion of them are just afkvending. shitgame indeed.
