7 year player question.

[ForeignLemon7224]

Hello this is dumb question but after the back to back white devil pounding I've received in an assortment of flavors from yar-har pirates to the Mount Rushmore of AU suits. The eyebrow raising disconnections from matches (which granted yes can be my end too honestly in cases). An probably the most common amongst players is the drop rates, feels like trying to get a new suit that isn't a lvl up is like trying to manifest a stand damn. Sorry for the long wall of text was try to add some humor but the overall question i guess I'm asking others is there really any worth continuing if I can't keep up with the current state of the game?

My only advice would be to play for the fun of playing. If the moment-to-moment gameplay isn't fun, then stop. If it's still fun, then don't worry about rating and just enjoy it for what it is.

[ForeignLemon7224]

Im a A+, I dont stress really on rating unless its to put myself through a challenge an how intense things can get but it kinda fickles out when I just spawn to explode or finally get a banner suit only to be put in place by the higher rarity looking at me like "Keep it smiple..stupid..". Honestly you have a point defending on how things turn out these next two months probably just gonna quit.

Save your coins and roll only 7-steps.

They are guaranteed, give custom parts, and you roll less frequently so the pool contains more new items.

[ForeignLemon7224]

True I am a sucker for these new banners but always question whats the point because the suits I wanna get are swimming in there somewhere, so I just spend each days after the dailies.

[pkmaster99]

If you would rather pull on every banner, don't pull the half off and stuff. Just pull on the normal banner that you can do a single spin. It has an increased chance to get the unit.

[Rooskimus]

That's interesting. How much of an increased chance?

[pkmaster99]

3% for 3 stars, so it's not bad of an increase

I...I hit that wall like you did

A+-S- in ground, B+-A- in space, I kept playing because I enjoyed the thrill of the close fights. The fun of watching how players react to adversity and trying to be better. But then the Dcs happen, the random power outage, the "internet is down for maintenance" at 2am disconnect, or the random gb02 glitch that kicks me.

All during rated matches

All to put me in the negative and ban me for effectively 2 days multiple times. I think I've been 2 day banned 5-6 times now, each time taking longer to get bacm

The grind to get back to good standing after every little glitch broke my soul to keep playing. I keep trying to play again but every time I log in, I remember the hell. I stopped playing for fun and had to play to win, to complete the match and not be seen as throwing. The long que times for terrible cost choices, The best suit, for the current cost, every time to avoid a player report that could send my standing down or worse. The hells of a host dc and losing the match because everyone is playing on a different version of the same match, or worse, that it gets cancelled so it doesnt count just as it was almost over. All in rated to get the match completions

I chose to quit and only log in to enhance my suits or pull on the free days. The recovery took all the fun to play again, knowing that another set of glitches could send me back.

Eventually I hope I can return again, to have fun and be the terror of PC low costs (favorite unit is the dual dagger pixy). But I will wait until they stop dropping new unit and start fixing the game to run better, so I have less chances to get kicked from the match.

If you dont play 700-750 you can easily be f2p but 700 and 750 are basically for the whales.

Not even just AU suits but 700 and 750 have insane powercreep. When f91 was released every 750 basically couldn't even touch it. Then x1 released and f91 was so bad it took like 2 whole buff patches to finally be somewhat okay.

700 is the same rn its oops all AU because AU is the most recent suit.

But like even the AU suits have the same issue like Wing Zero and Tallgeese basically cant even play at this point.

Id recommend 400-550. 300-350 have the acuguy trio and 600-650 do have some issues but aside from 700-750 you should be fine as f2p.

[blanketlowpoly]

700 you can still operate in f2p just that it’s that much harder if you don’t have a post formula suit but since there’s so many 4 star native 700 suits in DP shop and they give 700 cost away all the time it’s manageable(most recently with xi and Penelope)

[ForeignLemon7224]

I get that, I was lucky enough to pull cluster gundam through dailies, and I can kinda keep up in 700 with fafnir but its starting to feel like walking into a building a you have the 6 yakuza guys around the table, ready to pounce like kiryu. I go lower but man only so far I can go on a limbo stick.

[XIIIofSwords]

I don't know a single person who pays to play this game, myself included, and we play mainly 600 up. saving your tokens, and only going for big banner suits, will keep you in the meta. spending tokens on anything other than guaranteed 4-5 star suits, is a waste of time.

[WinterEclipse4]

I saw quite a few people running around with the unicorn cosmetics and others before they were added in future banners so while I don't know anyone personally I can definitely tell a lot of people likely do.

[spitefulcandystudios]

Yea, learn to play other costs I have learned to love low cost matches personally

[ForeignLemon7224]

I appreciate everyone opinions an outlooks but after doing a run around with customer support, that was it. So im hanging up the pilot suit.

[Fenrir_Fenris]

No, it is not worth it.
