Does the DSR not have very long range? Though I agree, the red is a nice scheme. Think I'll probably be getting the Mirage ish one next, but going to wait until I can properly upgrade it to change colors. Maybe if I'm red, Zoids will be more inclined to avoid my (secretly only level 30) K Wuf, haha.
This is very true. I'm looking forward to the concept of playing a supporter. I'll probably stick a repair unit on and heal allies while we're sitting at the base. Then probably have 2 blue weapons for picking at them. It'll be nice not to have to worry too much about LP as well. I'm coming up on 7200 soon, so a bit wary of losses.
Pretty sure it's not just me on the disconnects, though I'm not sure if other people get disconnected literally every time. I tried clearing cache both from the title screen and from my device, reinstalled, etc. Nothing worked. The tag is overwhelmed with people who disconnected during battle, and the game post-update is filled with glitches. Including but not limited to invincible small Zoids, random floating missiles, and invincible large Zoids (though they thankfully don't do damage, either.)
I have some concerns about how long it'll be an issue. I really want to get those 5 Zoid Gold battles a day, even if it's not much gold. Maybe I'll try the andapp version. It seems to only affect some people, but a lot of them. I think they said they'd fix the large Zoids on the next version update. Not sure about the rest.

The DSR Has a range of 16, and damage of 301 x 2 so it's not too bad. But comparing it to the other back options like the white long range rifle, range 18, damage 396. Or dual pulse laser rifle with range 18 damage 384x2 (energy though so no good for bases) I'd go with the latter as I want to stay the hell away from all players being only leveled in the thirties. LOL Also hoping enemies may fear the red and black. Didn't work in one match though against TWO red and black liger zero's.. My poor k wuf stood no chance.
I also received a premium account ticket with the gold. It appeared in the match at the end which was odd, I was wondering why I was receving such a reward.
Oh I encountered a floating missile in my first match! , I ran a circle around it. Strange. Invincible large zoids well that is horrendous hope I never encounter that! Whether or not they do damage it's still conna create confusion and waste players time, I'll assume it still destroys the base though when it reaches it?
Anyway I certainly hope your issue works itself out, it pains me to think how on this wonderful day your dream zoid appears and you can't even pilot it.

Sadly to see it's still an issue today. Someone suggested that they could've added a ping limit. That's a scary thought for international players, but I don't think that's the case, as it'd be very stupid to implement a ping check only after the battle has begun. I've been spending my now-free time poking at my model kits, but with so many to build, all being HMM, it's a bit overwhelming to choose one.
Hmm, that's a good point. One of the upgrades for K Wuf ends in 95 range, I think? So it may be a more viable option then, but yeah, in general frailer Zoids will want to stay away. The white pulse gun is also a nice weapon. Very effective, but I often find myself missing the 3 bullet weapons. Yeah, Zeros in general are rather fearless.
Interesting. So it was just a battle prize like the gold? Very interested to see how that goes. Which premium ticket was it? Get any more of them since then?
Thankfully the invincible large Zoids don't do damage to the base either, from what the news post said, I think. So you just have to get over the heart wrenching anxiety of them standing there. They said to just ignore it until the version update.

If it is a ping Limit have you tried using a VPN? It supposedly reduces Ping, might just be enough of an improvement not to get disconnected. Could always test it with the free trial of express VPN which is what i'm using. Still haven't had a disconnect yet. Hah funny when I had that blackout totally done the same thing, started building a zoid instead, it's nice to give the kits some attention from time to time, I really should do same, got a ridiculous backlog to build.
Sorry I got it wrong, I may not have received a premium ticket,possibly already had one sitting there, bronze. But It has the gold appear after winning a match and says premium + Metal with a space next to it like you might get some metal extra if you have a premium account?? So each win it seems up to five times a day rewards with gold at the end of the match, I originally thought it was going to be play 5 times then win it. The matches I played where I lost I received nothing so it's definitely just for winning. I didn't get any of the gold in the day that just ended! Can't believe there are 24 hours in a day, but worked a 14+ hour shift and somehow only had time for one zoids FOR match (which I lost) Lame. Day off today thankfully. Already got two of the wins.
Oh god that's terrifying a large zoid standing at the base, and mighty frustrating for the owner of said large zoid. Still haven't encountered it *fingers crossed*. I have had one or two matches with multiple floating missiles and Another glitch seems to be at the end of the match the little notices that pop throughout the game to say large zoid set up, who shot down who etc seem to all appear quickly one after the other in a quick cluster. Not sure what's going on there.

I tried tunnelbear earlier and still got the error. Same results just now with Express VPN. I hope it's not ping related, as that's something I can't change, but it'd make sense. Seems to effect the main platforms (Android/iOS), all versions, new and old, and regardless of clearing cache, closing other apps, setting priority, etc. But only for some people.
Ahh, yeah, premium status gives you more metal. During the New Years Fever, it could give up to 250 extra metal, I think? So for a win you had the rare chance of getting close to 750 Metal for it. Given how low normal earning is, don't think it'd be worth premium, though. Best to save for these high metal fevers~
Ouch, winning 5 times a day is harsh. It can be very unforgiving. Especially if you're using a new Zoid, like a lot of people are. Hopefully you can get some gold for the other days, at least!
Maybe its a laggy connection for the spammy results? Like it registers that you were still clicking or something? Odd either way. I often like to review the results.
Off topic ish, but I'm tempted to go through tutorial mode to get screenies of all the Zoids on the battlefield. At least for the colors/Zoids I have. I've noticed their colors can be quite different in proper lighting. Especially the gold ones.

Probably not applicable to you living in the sticks but have you tried a match using mobile data? (or whatever you call it in america). Me anyway have enough spare to play some matches without wi-fi and wont exceed my usage. Ping may be different from the home connection. If it is the ping thing I bet it's due to those users like that ridiculously lagging white blade liger we'd encounter. Absolutely silly indeed if they make the player disconnect when already in a match. Maybe it's a quick fix brutal zero tolerance introduced and they don't have the resources or know how to try a ping test before the match. Guess if it's the reason anyone in Japan who has a bad connection will also be disconnected which makes sense. (unfortunately) You can still play in co-op mode without trouble yea?
I'm sure the problem will resolve eventually. We got through the first international ban hurdle, now is the next challenge.

About time they added the reconnect option! Let's just hope it doesn't get abused somehow. Still getting players disappear though. Does the option not show up if being booted for poor ping rate i wonder?

(Rewriting to avoid double posting~) After much testing I can only assume that the update is indeed a latency limit. This is bad news for me since it means I won't be able to battle most of the time, so I'll probably get about 1/4 the game time I used to. Sister is a gamer, and playing when she's on her game is just a no go.
Disconnected from a fight today when I didn't realize she was playing. On one hand I feel horrible for letting my team down. On the other hand, one of my allies is a guy who quits every single battle at a slight disadvantage. 1 kill behind with 8 minutes left on the clock? He's gone. This made the grief of disconnecting much easier to bare. Sucks for the other guys, though.
It's amazing that the container timers are permanent. I would expect the blue to at least be an hour, but they've gone for the full holiday rush. I think it'll bring in more people, who want to farm containers, instead of the old system which actually encouraged inactivity.
EDIT: Land mines are also broken, so probably avoid those until the patch. I noticed they were showing the radius even if placed by the enemy team. That could be intended, but curious, I ran onto it with my K Wuf. It didn't do any damage at all.

I saw this post from the zoids FOR twitter account , Was anything fixed? Also when getting disconnected mid-match does a retry button pop up? I've yet to have the misfortune of testing it out.
I was happy to see you playing today when we matched, and being in your beloved Konig Wolf and without connection failure. Figured something must have been fixed up.
Who is the rage quit player you're talking about? I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
The container timers are permanent now are they? the 6 minute ones? Kinda loving it, I had neglected co-op mode for quite some time but then discovered the very bottom co-op mode on hard where all the team does is run up to the HQ and blow it up is extremely active and great for filling up the container slots, could almost just play that and have a constant flow of containers. Awesome for ex levels, I now have 3 weapons at level 99. Good for lunch breaks where I don't always have over 10 minutes to have a full battle.
Yea I noticed that with land mines too, it seemed inconsistent though, I had a yellow Lightning saix placing mines under me and they wouldn't do barely any damage at all yet other times it would take off more, unless I was missing seeing a bullet hit me or something. I noticed a ring around the enemies mines after they have exploded, pretty sure that was always the case, but are you saying there is a ring around them whilst waiting for the next victim? Wouldn't surprise me considering the amount of bugs that came with the last update.

It might've done something~ Yesterday I'd disconnect if even 2 devices were streaming in the household. Today, it is working normally, no disconnects so far with the normal streaming activity going on. As for retry, I've never seen it. Someone else, also on Android, didn't see it either. However, they also said they'd only ever seen 2 people successfully reconnect using it, so.
I believe so, yes~ Spent a while spamming co-op today, myself. Got 4 memory chips, and a few rare weapons. Now stocked up in purple and black containers. It's really nice that it's so active, and I've found that in the mornings, when it's almost impossible to match for VS mode, there are usually plenty of people playing it. Congrats on the 3 EX 99 weapons! Only got one so far, the back mounted gatling gun, but hopefully some others soon~
Yeah, the mines are now showing the rings for enemy mines the same way that they do for ally mines. I don't know of this is a platform exclusive error, but any time I see it, it does no damage. My K Wuf is still extremely weak, and dies in 2-3 hits, so it'd be surprising if they did so little that I couldn't see the difference. Haven't had any do damage since it started, but again, perhaps it's different for different platforms.

Strange actually months ago, Just the one time only it happened, It had already matched the players and the game was about to start, but then I must have had a disconnect and it come up with the retry button, I was then able to successfully reconnect. Thought wow that's a nice addition they made but then never saw it again.
Good if it's permanent then. We are all thirsty for metal.. well some on twitter seem to have over 100 thousand but maybe they don't have many zoids in the Hangar.
I just got the Brown Shoulder gatling, shoulder razor gun thing and the triple missiles for the small zoids. Thought the brown gatling was good but the black Gatling actually is over 100 damage and it's only level 40 something. Now that match we just had was better wasn't it! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect win. I just lost two matches with Konig and they were the usual matches where the bases fall quickly and it all comes down to one kill. So I jumped in Saber Tiger as I find destroyers make the game much more interesting as it's a battle to take down the bases, glad I did.
I had to laugh when I saw you annoying Barigator, making him go in circles. and what a surprise ending! They certainly set up their large zoid late, the latest I've ever seen. not much it can do in 2 seconds.

I'm sitting on 100k metal, too. As soon as I finish the K Wuf missions, I'm upgrading it and taking the Zoid straight to level 50. Just got the last bank today, thanks to the bank rewards from leveling up. I think the need for upgrading prevents a lot of people from immediately leveling their Zoids.
The black gatlings are the bullet ones, yeah? They seem to have superior firepower in general, but also a much shorter range, and much fewer shots, so I'm not 100% convinced on using them most of the time. But that's also because the silver gats are most useful for preventing escapes, rather than actual damage. In an outright cat fight I tend to find the 35mms out pace all gats in damage, but then the Zoid can often run away and escape.
Yes, absolutely! I was amazed how well we did, especially without any Bladeys or Zeros. Your Saber was just steamrolling everything. It was the last battle before bed, so it was a pleasant surprise to get such a good win. Yeah, I think they did it more for the theatrics, lol. Especially given it was a Deathy. Would love that battle if you've got it~ I think it's my first landslide win in the K Wuf~

I'd say the same in regard to upgrading K wuf but Really hungry for Banks, particularly A Banks. I received an (N) Bank in a normal grey 6 minute container yesterday was absolutely stoked. Yea the Bullet Black Gatlings, currently at 101 Damage, Is the range actually shorter though? I should equip both and compare It says it's the same as the grey gatling range 6. Though when I use it with Saber tiger face tanking other zoids I often can't notice the difference lol. Yea that escaping enemy when they have a little speck of health is particularly frustrating, oh what I would do for a long range shoulder weapon. The quick firing razor gun has more decent range but using it with Iron Fin is a definite no no energy drainage. db.tt/QegEss8kDI And there's the link to our match. And What level is your Kay Primrose? Because wow it heals well, is it a combination of her and the K wuf or something. Look at the 7:36 and the 6:56 mark in the video and by simply running up to me gave a significant heal! It wasn't as effective near the end of the match 1:44 but still worked a little bit. Thinking I might use her instead next time I jump in K wuf.

Wow, that's a pretty lucky find for a silver container. They are a rarity these days, so every single one helps! Hm, is it? I thought they were a variation of the brown gats. If the range is really 6, that must be a big boost~ What are your silver gats at right now? Yeah, I really wish we had a quick firing shoulder weapon like a rifle. It'd be a good tradeoff if it had lower damage, but a higher chance of hitting the enemy. Kay is lvl 2, and gives a buff to HP and Defense. I'm testing whether she or Shawn are better. The healing is actually a repair kit! When you use a repair kit it heals everything close to you (illustrated here) not just your own Zoid. My K Wuf isn't at a point where healing is useful. I keep hitting it when I'm used to a weapon being there, and just dying outright because at level 30-something I have so little health/defense. So I bought a bunch of repair kits and I'm using those until I'm maxed out on stats. The minor heal is the Supporter buff~ When a supporter is near an ally Zoid, they get a health buff. You can tell if you've received the buff by the red glow around your Zoid. Thanks for the video! It was a great battle. (If you try to use a repair kit the second the battle ends, it creates the red circle showing you the radius, but it doesn't show in actual combat.)
