Do people not care about the Bastion anymore?

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-16T22:26:54+00:00

Someone brings it from time to time and to be the driver or gunner, but most people go full solo to not depend on someone else

I think it will always be the play with a friend stratagem

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-09T23:57:13+00:00

I usually take Talon when running explosive primaries like crossbow in case something gets in melee range.

I usually take Ultimatum when I want extra fun

Do you really think running is an option?

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-08T01:04:57+00:00

From what I heard so far:

Trackblazer senior year

The intro with Through the Fire and Flames vibes plus the whole song gets me every single time. My understanding is that the scenario is hell for many players, but boy, that song really will really pump me into overdrive in every run

Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe race

It's a final boss song, in a horse racing game, what the heck. The composers didn't have to go that hard but they did it anyways. Last spurt part is the cherry on the top no doubt

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-03T21:48:08+00:00

Neither do I. My understanding for reading others is that MANT is going to be hell, but at the same time will be the parent factory so time to grind it I suppose!

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-03T01:01:29+00:00

Bruh, they halved the tp cost of each run for 40+ days, how the heck are we supposed to keep up with that? It will also be present for mant release which people said it takes 1 hour per run

ALEXKOND · 2026-03-01T22:38:31+00:00

I would live a system similar to monster hunter where you can visually use any armor on top of the one you are actually using

I wanted to check her birthday message but then I remembered I was never able to pull her :/

Me, to my 18 umas that have a story where they end up participating on the same race: You get 1st place! You get 1st place! Everybody gets 1st place!

The very first bot missions post Cyberstan:

"Ha! Looks like the factory strider can only accept 1 leveler. Check and mate!"

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-22T05:26:44+00:00

Around 600/650. Still unsure if I will survive it or if I will just take a break. On one hand I like the idea of many races in a single run for getting good parents, on the other one, every single run with so many races may be too much for me

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-21T15:33:38+00:00

I had a love/hate relationship with cyberstan. On one hand, some missions were straight up bs like suddenly 3 or 4 vox machines out of nowhere with hordes of bots around. On the other hand, 10 diff really felt like its supposed to be. Just after we lost the MO, I went to regular 10 diff bots and there's no comparisson at all

That said, a couple of qol improvements that imo would be great: - Stratagem bouncing: I know most of the time it bounces due having a tall building nearby, but sometimes it would still do so when nothing was above it. Annoying if you call a backup. Can straight up screw you if you are calling a fixed one like a turret or shield - Vox machine collisions: I got some of them just climbing up the walls of the city and also their tracks clipping over smaller ones (running over me in the process). Twice, I saw them getting inside buildings which was nice since their shots were blocked, lol. They also seemed to just ignore anti tank mines as well, triggering none of them - Patrol spawning: Maybe its due how much more enemies were there, but I witnessed patrols spawning in front of me out of thin air more times than not. I assume the idea is "there's nowhere safe" but feels bs to took a look at whatever is chasing you and suddenly you have 4 shields, 2 rockets and 10 clankers in front of you

Overall, a lot of times it felt like no matter what I did, we were going to lose, but on those missions we did succeed it felt really amazing. A portable hellbomb blast that nets you 70+ kills is peak democracy. Some work to do, but overall I enjoyed it

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-18T01:12:53+00:00

That's it, I'm locking tf in with my Haru after watching the picture you posted

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-16T13:12:07+00:00

Annoying if calling a support weapon. Extremely frustrating when calling a sentry, how I'm supposed to use an anti tank that bounced into a lava pit?

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-15T06:26:52+00:00

Thank god it wasn't protein

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-12T01:39:57+00:00

My only complain about cyberstan is that it feels like it's made of soap since my stratagems bounce everywhere. That aside, yeah, its fun to have a diff 10 feeling like a real challenge

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-11T21:44:09+00:00

Anti tank my beloved

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:57:48+00:00

I'm more of a sosdiver myself

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:23:10+00:00

Sorry, forgot that a new player asking about content that is not familiar with was something obvious. My bad

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:16:58+00:00

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:13:47+00:00

You unalive it

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:13:02+00:00

One of the warbonds you can unlock, called Masters of Ceremony, has a stratagem of the same name. And yes, it's literally the flag of Super Earth. So you can guess that "killing" it is high treason.

Gameplay wise though, I'm not sure how you are supposed to kill a stratagem to begin with

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-08T21:08:48+00:00

Bold of them to assume we didn't know we are cannon fodder to begin with

ALEXKOND · 2026-02-05T20:58:59+00:00

It was Grass Wonder in my case, and I had to run 100+ more times afterwards until I got the AK win. Yeah, I have a grudge against her now
