New Zoids Project Teaser!!! Zoids Field of Rebellion

[Hanyoutai]

Yeah, I've noticed that about Molgas too. It has the best results for not getting shot, since by the time you reach them, they will have come forward into the AOE. Also have had a few experiences surviving Blade Ligers!

My favorite is of course a Shield Liger who kept attacking our headquarters. I notice Shield Ligers can almost have infinite E Shields now. I haven't paid attention to see if it's the new EN pilot or not, but only a couple seconds after deactivating it, they can reactivate it. Zeek Dober circumvented his every attempt to destroy our HQ, though, as well as his attempts to protect his own base by using the E-Shield. I'd feel guilty about it if, again, they didn't have nigh infinite shields with the right combination.

Same about the confidence too, haha. I overestimate the AOE in those cases a lot. Still trying to find the best pilot combo for Zeek Dober. I was using Dean but didn't notice any difference in base damage, and my attack is just too poor in PVP to make Vance worthwhile. Trying Shawn now, we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Zeek Dober mission is going well, thanks to a 6 win streak! Ran out of battery life. Hopefully it continues when my device is charged up!

[Vig]

Haha yea I just don't bother even trying to kill shield ligers when in Saber Tiger due to that fact.

I just got 10 wins for Zeek Dober, been quite busy otherwise I'd have more, I'm trying to get all my pilots to 10 wins, just got Jim, LINK
Moving onto Logan next. With Zeek dober atm it doesn't seem to matter which pilot I use too much as my conflict is kept to a minimum.

Also as we can all see new update, Now fightning in the swamp level again, and hellbreaker works wonderfully to cross the river.

I was so excited on your behalf to see Konig wolfs sniper Rifle Hanyoutai! I was wondering if we'd get a nice surprise in the zoids shop and see a K wuf sitting there, not yet it seems. Might be worth trying to grab a rifle just in case Konig does appear, what's a Konig without a Sniper Rifle... *looks at my white Konig one the shelf* (no sniper Rifle) No idea what happened to that one.

[Hanyoutai]

Nice~ For Jim, have you tested his Full Burst at level 1 to see what kind of heal ratio there is? I've seen some pretty strong recoveries, so just curious if the base pilot stat is noticeable or not. Congrats on the 10 Zeek Dober wins!

Fought once in the swamp, waiting until evening to battle more since everyone logging in to check the update is creating lots of laaag. Won with Zeek Dober. It was super fun, and man, I've missed this field. I think it's my favorite. I fought a Shadow Fox for almost a full minute, just taking shots at him then knocking him down with the Hell Blazer. Then his Saix and Geno saurer friends noticed and ran me off. It was a fun fight, though~

I was super excited to see the rifle, sad not to see a K Wuf. My concern is that K Wuf won't get an SR DSR exclusive when/if it gets added, or worse yet, that they added the rifle because they don't plan to add the wolf. I sure hope they do! I'd love to see a proper sniping Zoid. Those with the longest range atm, aside from Command Wolf, weren't actually intended for sniping as far as I know, so it feels a bit strange. Perhaps the K Wuf's DSR could have a faster firing speed, or a slightly longer range.

Maybe they'd go the other route, doing its missile pods (x2 pvp or fast firing x3 small Zoids?) and the headgear. The headgear could let the K Wuf see enemies in the trees and improve search range.

I don't know, there are so many gameplay options for the K Wuf that I sure hope they add it! I'll definitely be looking to pick up the DSR. We'll see how it compares to the LRR at level 20. Maybe the range won't be too noticeable? If not, it could be a good option.


I realize I'm rambling. Did his Sniper Rifle up and run away? Or did he never have one? I remember the guy on YJ who sold like 10 at a time. I was amazed they all went for decent prices ($20-$30 iirc.)

[Falcarius]

Not much to write about this update...

- New weapons: Dual Sniper Rifle, Double Buster Cannon, 3-Barrelled Linear Cannon R
- Bonuses (ending 28/11): Pickup Containers (higher chance of the new weapons in Gacha Containers), Power-Up Parts Drop Campaign (higher chance of "Strengthening Parts" in certain Drop Containers), Memory Fever (higher chance of Memory Chips and Banks in Drop Containers)
- Current VS map: Wetlands

Introducing the DSR without the König Wolf is a bad sign, but there's always hope...

[Vig]

　Jim is currently at level 3, I just keep on forgetting that his full burst is a healer so I'd use it even with full health because the icon annoys me a little bit, Next time I use him I'll wait till I'm down on health and take note.

I would LOVE to see a konig whom can see into the bushes! Doubt that will happen but we can always dream. As for my Konig , I just have no idea what happened to the sniper Rifle, it just vanished.. I'm sure something must have happened but I have no recollection of it. I'll have to keep an eye out for a spare parts konig.

This wetlands level is proving to be more of a challenge with Doberman, I have no walls to hide behind! lol. Naa not doing too bad though just gotta head back to base to heal more often, it's definitely a level good for a destroyer zoid, praying on those crossing the river. Good match btw, Whenever I see a green saber tiger I look to see if it's Hanyoutai or not, I must say when I saw you appear on the enemy team in a saber tiger I felt a little bit of panick. As mentioned, I thought you might be on an angry Saber Tiger Rampage. Admittedly when I realised we were not going to win I began trying to Ram you down with hellbreaker for the fun of it. hehe, Little dog packs quite a punch but it just doesn't take off much health.

And quicknote, I'm currently downloading my photobucket contents to a hard drive thanks to a google chrome add on that makes it possible, photobucket removed the download album tab to be jerks. I had been confused why my links were still working, but I got a email stating because I had paid for extra storage in the past it had been allowed until this point, my account will destruct at the end of this month ( well links wont work anyway) So if anyone wanted to grab the screenshots now is the time, I'll eventually go back and delete the latest screenshots I put up here last week. Any opinions on the best alternative site?

[Hanyoutai]

Yeah, the level was pretty harsh to finish the mission in. My Zeek Dober tended to run in the opposite direction of all enemies. Like Saix, tried to sneak into the bushes when I could, but it seems like enemies are much more aware of it now that the level is back. Makes it very hard to hide. I admit I often used allies as meat shields and just tried to provide support fire.

I didn't realize that it was you until over halfway through the battle again, when one of the notifications popped up. It was a shock! I had 30% battery life, and I'm new to 2500 battles so a bit nervous. Decided to take Saber Tiger out since I can only get in 3 guaranteed battles, and I needed some containers. I took quite a few shots at your Zeek Dober, but it was hard to actually get in a hit when Saber would just go flying from the Hellblazer~ Started to think of squeak toy sound effects every time it happened. It doesn't do much damage, but that can be worth it at time, since it's often a guaranteed escape from other Zoids, unless they're faster.

That's pretty harsh. Photobucket has been going down hill for a long time, and the prices they're charging are ridiculous. As much as a dedicated server! Imgur for now is a great alternative. It's "technically" not an image hosting site, but they don't care if you're sharing. They just don't want you to use them as a CDC (basically hosting your site's images from imgur.) And since you share your images with us, you fit under the image sharing umbrella.

There's also options like Google Drive and Dropbox, which allow you to link not only specific images, but entire folders. You could make a FOR folder and just relink that one link any time you uploaded new stuff. Dropbox has really low storage space (250mb free I think?) with poor competitive pricing, but a more stable uploader. Google Drive has a way better storage limit, but I prefer dropbox because of Google Drive's defunct uploading. Which is only relevant if you're editing files after saving. Google drive has 15 GB free and 100GB plan for $1.99 a month. I use Dropbox for in-progress files and Google Drive for large completed folders.

(Google Drive won't let you save if you're uploading, and if you try, not realizing, it corrupts and deletes the file. This is a pain for someone like me with <1 mpbs upload speed and 100+ MB Photoshop documents. If you're just uploading photos, it doesn't matter.)

[Vig]

Hahaha meat shields, Yea think I'm guilty of that myself. Going to the right base making sure i'm on the outside of an Ally zoid if one comes with. And blade ligers are my guardians now, If I'm in trouble I'll run to the nearest ally Blade liger so they go after my pursuing enemy, it has worked a number of times.

So how are you finding the 2500LP matches? Did it seem to change all of a sudden to a freakish difficulty and survivalist culture? For me the change was quite a shock.

And thanks for the advice on drives! I might try the same, Google drive has been there in the background for ages I only seemed to have used it for the odd email, and drop box I set up like half a year ago to send someone one thing and haven't touched it since. Time to dust it off.

Seeing as this website is where I would use third party hosting the most excuse me whilst I experiment here.

Experimental video, Hanyoutai and Vig Saber Tiger ally match - Watching it actually makes me realize how different things were before 2500LP, the matches were wild! Oh and you are off doing your own thing the first half of the match, mid way through we become pack Sabers. Anyway let me know if it works ok?

and second experiment, random image, moment of hellbreaker impact from the last match we played

EDIT: Ok so the image didn't show up, is there a way to image post from dropbox or does it have to be a link each time?

[Hanyoutai]

Bladeys are rampant in 2500+, and I suspect above! The 2500 matches are scary, but I've had ok luck. Probably lose more than I win, but I can still win some battles. It's very awkward always being the weakest link on the team. Especially with how easily Saber can die. After the stat balancing he doesn't really have much place in these top leagues. Makes me sad as my Blade Liger is many memory banks away from upgrading.

One thing I've noticed is how dramatic deaths are. We almost won a battle with 2 kills, then the Gordos died at the very end and it turned out a draw. He felt so bad, poor guy. Then in another battle, I died at like 8 minutes, first kill for the enemy team. Also felt bad. It started an onslaught of deaths for our team, so we lost by a landslide. I almost never approach packs anymore, unless I've got at least two or three allies with me. Still, I'd rather focus entirely on bases until they're gone.

Dropbox probably plays media ok for people with good internet, but I run on a toaster, so nothing besides youtube and netflix plays consistently for me. It works for downloading the videos, but I can also download them from youtube~ EDIT: Dropbox has better quality though, at a glance~

For embedding the image, try right clicking and selecting copy image URL instead of using the share link. The share link leads back to dropbox, and since it's a web page, it doesn't show on embedded tags.

To the left of Zeek Dober, it almost looks like he generated a third Hell Blazer, like the Mirage Fox!

[Vig]

Told you Bladeys were Rampant! The more Bladeys on a team the higher the chance of winning. Poor Saber Tiger I know the feeling, The Zoids FOR staff truly gave Sabers claws a clipping. I feel so Loyal to My Saber Tiger though, we've been through a lot together.

And yes! The deaths, it's like all of a sudden each death really seems to count and everyone retreats to the base to heal, inlcuding me which prior to 2500 I rarely used to do. It's frustrating in a way, so many matches are won with only 4 or 5 kills. With Zeek dober I destroy the bases then hide in the stronghold where I wont be an easy target. And may just trek out to help out/ take down the Large zoid.

I've noticed with the wetlands level players are more likely to head to the (their) left/ our (right) base first as it's easier to get to. It's caught me out a couple of times, I've head toward the right side in zeek dober only to have the ENTIRE TEAM come out of the bushes whilst crossing the river, Zeek Dober *yelp*. I.. rarely survive such an occassion.

Ok I'll keep that in mind, I'll stick to youtube for sharing videos, easy done, (and free).

And yep I did that, clicked on the copy link url (couldn't specifically see a copy image url) no good though, oh well. Linking will just have to do for now.

[Hanyoutai]

Perhaps it's not available on your browser? I'm using chrome. I go to the page (where the link takes you) and select Copy Image Address from the right click menu. It seems to let me embed then




Pretty much the same. I love my Saber a lot, though I'm looking forward to getting the Blade Liger upgraded for those times I just want to steamroll a few things. I also noticed that about the wetlands. It throws me off, too. Always want to go to the right to swarm the base. I try to just run down the middle until I see where the enemies are breaking off to.



I started a new game on bluestacks. It has been ... interesting. Lot of various Zoids, but almost all obvious new people who aren't familiar with the game yet, so winning has still been a breeze. My Command Wolf takes 4 or more shots to kill small Zoids at level 23, though. I started it to record some gameplay, but the framerate is poor on my old machine. My mobile doesn't have many options that don't require root, which is annoying.

Almost all Zoids ignore the Large Zoids, which is surprising. Even Deathy makes it to the base most of the time because nobody bothers with it. They also almost entirely ignore their own bases. I don't know why, but I'm also encountering a lot of people that won't fight me?? Like, I chase them around shooting, and they take 4 shots before they even try to shoot me back. Maybe they're just spooked. Matching is a bit difficult though, can take over 40 minutes at inopportune times. Most of the low level people I'm encountering are the same group.

[Vig]

　　　

　　Oh I found it, victory! Thank you! I'm using chrome too.

Restarting again must be so cute!, like going back to kindergarten, but you're murdering them instead. Stop scaring them! Haha. A command wolf taking 4 shots to kill small zoids, ouch. Definitely looks like every rank gets the same HP on the small zoids etc. Must be a real challenge for newcomers. And 40 minutes for matching, That is, well I would have well given up, I will assume you were doing something else at the time and not just eagerly staring at the phone. Kinda bad though given that will be newbies first impressions and they may get confused, heck throwing them into a 2500 match is better than waiting that long.
Funny they don't go after the Large zoid, guessing like the small zoids it would take longer to kill than usual, wonder how they'd handle a death stinger , they haven't had all the subjugation event training we had. I'd also like to know how many actually do the training first.

And I've always wondered, think there is a minus point community? It'd be the real underground, where lunatics and the extremely incompetent/ clowns/ non-caring and stamp spammers hang out. The zoids for hell. Can we even go into minus I wonder?

As for the mobile , I'm not sure what root is but if you ever do get a new phone, Get one with the "Game tools" function found buried in the settings, that's what I use to record anyway, greatest thing ever.

[Hanyoutai]

It has been interesting for sure! Most of my allies are distracted with PVP, showing an equal lack of attention to bases, so I usually destroy at least two on my own. Yeah, I feel real bad for the new guys who aren't able to get into battles. I tried a bit ago at around 6pm Japan time and it was decently fast (3-4 minutes) but any other time of day, I could stay as the 1/8 for 40 minutes at least. Yeah, it was usually me doing other stuff. I just move bluestacks off to the side where I can see the number.

A Death Stinger would frighten them for sure! It's a much more difficult beast to handle, nevermind its much higher strength.

I imagine there are at least groups of discord friends like in the English and Chinese speaking communities, who try to play together as a group. I've heard people rumor that they're even responsible for some of the mass disconnects (disconnecting from enemy team if they don't get to team with their allies) but those are just rumors, of course. It could be a conspiracy theory thing, but playing in discord groups, I wouldn't put it past anyone. Trapping, misleading, etc. is common ground in a lot of games, so the mentality is strong.

I'll keep that in mind! Maybe next year I'll be able to get one. Hopefully it's still relevant then! Found one that is ok-ish if I turn the fans and stuff off, will do some testing and see how it works.

[Vig]

I certainly hope that discord thing is not true, it's just embarrassing for anyone residing outside of Japan, disgusting really, total lack of respect and self centred attitude. At least now there is actually a way people can play together if they want to so I hope that would never happen again if true.

And I got Logan to 10 wins 6 Boxes worth of Dialogue so I had to reply to my own post with them

[Falcarius]

Time for today's update...

New Zoid: Elephander (Commander)
New pilot: Saori Crystal
New weapons: E-Shield Shot [SR, Elephander exclusive], Omnidirectional Missiles (L/R) [R, all Zoids]
New Starter Ticket: costs 1000 Zoid Gold, gives 1 of 20 SR weapons, 3 of 9 R weapons, Sophia (winner of the popularity contest), 2000 Metal, 10 Repair Kits, and 7 days of Premium Ticket effects (ends 12/12)
New half-price sale: until 4/12
Current VS map: forest (until 5/12)
Current fever: Container Opening Fever (until 5/12)

There will also be an "Elephander Set" available in the store until 5/12, but only one per person. For 3000 Zoid Gold, you get a basic Elephander, an exclusive colour scheme (black and red, similar to Irvine's Command Wolf), 10000 Metal, 10 Repair Kits, and a 10-pack Container.
Oh, and they've added a mysterious "Data Link" button to the main menu, although it won't be functional until they introduce the new feature they're working on... (Spoilers: there's a PC version on the way!)


Saori Crystal: When she was 9, her Zoid piloting skills were recognised and she came to participate in an Imperial Army pilot nurturing program. However, she could not get used to the army's way of doing things, and spent her time crying. 10 years later, she deserted from the Empire Army and enlisted in F.E.S.
Full Burst: "Wailing Conflict" (decreases enemy Zoids' anti-Zoid search range for 9 seconds)
Passive Skill: "Tearful Memories" (increases anti-Zoid, anti-Small Zoid and anti-base AT when her Zoid's HP is below 40%)
Recommended Zoid: Elephander

[Vig]

Funny I've played quite a large amount of battles since the update yet haven't seen a single Elephander. Maybe people are just satisfied with the last elephant we got and can't be bothered buying another one.
And as always thanks for the translations Falcarius.
Interesting passive skill there, it'd almost be worth running and hiding in a dark corner somewhere when the health gets below 40% to help out the team.

I did see someone talking about a pc version coming, So it's true ey, Assuming we will be able to use our account on both devices then? Because there is no way in hell I am starting over. Saying that though I kinda like playing on my phone anyway due to the recording and play anywhere capability. Still very happy to see this news though. The game must be successful enough for them to even take this step. Yay!

Another neat little change they made is in the medal tally screen. We can now see which individual zoids of ours won which medals.

And I just got Daisy to 10 wins,

"

There's 5 boxes of dialogue so once again check the comments. Thanks to photobuckets implosion I've found it's easier to just post via twitter then link here otherwise I'd have to put screenies onto the computer, then resize as they come out too large , then place into dropbox and individually link to post here.

So is that all of them now Falcarius? Apart from of course the new Pilot Saori
