New Zoids Project Teaser!!! Zoids Field of Rebellion

[Hanyoutai]

Oh oops, you're right. I accidentally converted to the wrong place. It's about 3AM Japan time (10am for me.) Hmm. If that's not it, then I'm not sure. Maybe keep an eye on it throughout the day and see if you can pin down what time it's actually delivering/resetting goods?

Also, the Deathy was definitely glitched, I think. Looks like the Bladey and Breaker thought of the same time I did, and tried several times to destroy anything underneath of it, but there just wasn't anything there.

I've got 10 of each memory bank. Going to try to keep them in case I like the new Zoids, but if I get 2 more I can at least upgrade my Command Wolf all the way without having to drop below 10. Also very torn between it and Shadow Fox. I love my purple fox and would love to get him out on the field, but Command Wolf has seniority~

　Let's　just hope that friend battle unstable connection thing doesn't stick around for you in order to get c wulf into a dog fight. I was also surprised at how little Memory banks c wulf used to get the final upgrade, like I was just randomly going through each of my zoids to see which ones could be upgraded and noticed it only needed 1 of each bank but 5 A banks or something that so I just went ahead and did it. With good coincidental timing. It didn't drain too many away from other zoids, It did hurt Konig wufs chances for upgrade though, who now needs 7 A banks where as before only needed 2 or 3. And those A Banks are a loong way up the Gojulas subjugation event count. which I'm going no where near. Will probably just get to the 800 (gacha ticket) and that's it.

Funny even after the 30 missions I find myself sticking to using K wulf even though it's only half way upgraded , I just really like the LP Points I get rewarded/ lack of deductions when losing and for some reason I do well in it. And it's beautiful.

[Hanyoutai]

Well, thankfully with banks being given out every weekday and all of them on weekends, spending banks isn't nearly as much of a worry as before. Is K Wuf your next Zoid to upgrade, then?

I'm hoping to hit the 2000 mark but it'll require some odd-400 battles today and tomorrow. That's going to be tough! But I've got very little to do while my desktop is inaccessible, so it may just happen.

Nice that K Wuf still gets some love! Especially at higher LP ranges. I picked up a gacha hoping to get the DSR or electric fang, but no such luck. Got an EX level on my SR Long Range Rifle, Elephander's E-Shield (don't have an Elephander and probably wouldn't use the shield if I did) and a Death Stinger. I am excited about the Death Stinger, but I think I'll continue to use the Ogre until it gets nerfed, if it does. I've not had it fail to reach a base yet, and those missiles still catch a decent number of Zoids off guard.

Banking on the Gold Ticket now. Here's hoping!

EDIT: Looks like the CA Gojulas is confirmed to be a player Zoid! Fascinating. I wonder if it will adopt the current rex run animations? They'll also be releasing the small Zoid continued production, updated matching system, etc. on the 28th. They teased two new Zoids in March, I think. I wonder what the other will be? Talking about small Zoids, I wonder if this means the bases will now get a 'destroyed' model? Or will the small Zoids just materialize out of thin air?

'Zoids For you' have released all the new info in their video before the update tonight! The new zoid is indeed a concept art Gojulas and wow does it look cool! will definitely be getting one. Seems to have crazy good defence, in the video it can be hit by a Genobreakers cpc and stay standing. And now for Command wolf (wonder if it's only command wolf and not shadow fox too) will be getting a smoke discharger!It seems to make them impossible to lock on to by the enemy, and turn kinda see through silhouetty. Fantastic for command wolf lovers who were being done over by much stronger zoids in the field. Glad I upgraded mine recently that's for sure.

And the icon For ZOIDS field rebellion has already now changed, from the silver shield liger to liger zero.

[Hanyoutai]

Saw the video earlier! The Smoke Discharger is absolutely frightening. Are enemy Zoids able to see the Command Wolf too? Or is it full invisibility, not just radar and lock on? It definitely makes Command Wolf the go-to Commander over Shadow Fox, that's for sure. Unless, of course, it's available to Shadow Fox, too!

For the CA Gojulas, it's... alright. The face kinda bugs me (was hoping they'd make it fit in a bit more with the existing Zoid designs.) The animations range from acceptable to absolutely awful. Its run cycle especially. It looks like its actively trying to stretch its legs far out to the sides. I think a more grounded animation would've been better. I could get used to it though, and from what we've seen, I love the colors, including the special color. It's a really nice amount of detail.

What was the glowy 'portal' near the destroyed base?

[Vig]

Just after the 13 minute mark they show the players command wolf use smoke discharger and then the enemy c wuf afterward. Can definitely still be seen thank goodness. Just dark see through.

Noo idea about the portals on the bases, he ran up to the enemy bases portal and stood there and it done nothing, I was hoping they would go to their own destroyed base to see what is does. Could just be where Small zoids are produced?? If they are being produced from there still. It was probably explained in Japanese somewhere but nothing I could catch lol.

This new update is fantastic! It makes so much sense to match players specs instead of LP, Like High LP players might not have enough metal yet want to take a non-upgraded zoid for a run and now they can.
The matches I have played since the update have been fantastic, alot of fun really and both teams seemed relatively equal. I noticed the Gatlings and some weapons have had damage increase, and others have been decreased. My Original black long range rifle interestingly now has more damage than the special white one most people would favour.
Commander zoids when in amongst small zoids are dangerous, missiles from small zoids with a commander boosting them really really hurt, great incentive to stay with the small zoids. And the bases have been given a much needed defence boost, only one match out of 5 I played had all the bases get destroyed,
The game has gone back to way it should be played, as opposed to the everyone destroy the weak bases then hang around in the stronghold for the remaining 7 minutes with one kill. The entire 10 minutess have been action packed and matches could go either way sorta thing.

I used the first batch of rewarded metal to level up Konig wolf and Saber Tiger to the highest they could go, and I was mighty surprised at Konig's defence, It could really take a lot of hits not sure if it was a spec change for the zoid, Shawn the level 9 defence pilot or purely the extra levels I gave it. Still hadn't even done the Bank upgrade yet. Speaking of I'm happy there's a Memory bank/unit Gacha, BUT I hope that means they wont reduce the amount they hand out, if we have to start paying/gambling our way to more upgrades I wont be too happy. That'll get expensive.

I purchased a Gojulas, just need it's weapon. Spent much time hanging out with my small zoids for protection, the missiles wont destroy small zoids in one but the close range attack will, but the range is pathetic. Looking forward to trying out command wolf in battle, They're hard to touch when near small zoids, I had one come into the base with a row of small zoids and I was in a panic trying to destroy it! Really looking forward to trying that smoke discharger too if I ever get one.

[Hanyoutai]

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but looking forward to it!

What are the effect changes to Supporters?

[Vig]

I just had a more detailed look into the news and changes I had picked up on in battle are indeed true.

So supporters provide an increased health and reduced damage to all players, and improved Range! (Assuming when near). As well as increased Damage to large zoids and decrease in damage received by large zoids, applies to all nearby players. Now If I am reading this correctly, it seems to say Increased damage when inside the small base! Maybe that's what the portal thing is, stand in it and damage to other zoids is increased. Is this only supporters though I wonder. If Falcarius is reading you able to double check this??

As for the Small bases their defence is on a timer, Hardest to destroy at the start of the match (to stop them all falling in the first minute lol) and the defence gradually decreases throughout the battle so they are easiest to destroy near the end of the match. Also The health recovery rate in the HQ has been increased which is great , I was spending way too much time in there recovering health. Good thing Players will be spending more time on the battlefield.

[Hanyoutai]

Just got to playing it an hour or so ago. I'm loving the new LP system, but it's so awkward being the only player over 5000 LP in most battles. I've even matched with people with 71 LP! The downside is you're seeing a lot more Death Saurers in combat, so I've equipped the "I'll launch the large Zoid" stamp as well as the 'no good' stamp.

That being said, I wanted to try a fighter so instead of a 4 speed destroyer, I upgraded my Shield Liger, and so far battles are going great! The weapons of the Shield Liger were dramatically improved. Its gats now deal 183 damage for mine (couple EX levels). The EN drain was annoying though. Now I've got a Long Range Cannon and the Triple Impact Cannon SL, and E-Shield. Its damage is insane! x3 consecutive shots at around 230+ damage each, and it's a blue weapon to boot! I've found it to be amazing at downing bases. It's fun to watch the health tick away in little chunks, and with an average reload time, I see this item being nerfed in the distant future.

If anything, Shieldy is just insanely OP now. I can solo most destroyers. Perhaps because I'm matching more with lower LP players, but its been very successful.
I'm taking a long hard look at my other Zoids to decide who gets leveled up next. I want a Commander but I'm still undecided between Command Wolf and Shadow Fox. I hope to eventually get the Smoke Discharger, and if I do, I'll be sad I went with Fox. For now, Shieldy may very well be my main Zoid. Either C Wuf/Fox an K Wuf next. Destroyers seem a bit obsolete.

Greatly enjoying the health recovery myself! It's great to be out on the field. Right before I moved into another room, I had just gone to the victory screen, then accidentally closed the app and got a loss instead. Oops. On top of all this, VS Mode has been matching super fast for me!

Either way, battles are a lot more fun now! If not a big of a wildcard, working with many players who aren't experienced yet. But I guess that's not too indifferent from how the F.E.S. would actually function-

[Vig]

Am I glad you mentioned the shield liger, Wow I just comfortably won 5 battles in a row with it. It's strong! Done the same as you, long range on back, shield and believe it or not the triple Impact cannon SL was just sitting there unused at level 1. It is so strong! I fear no one now lol. I typically sit there destroying the bases then when someone comes to annoy me I throw the shield on, kill them then carry on with base destroying. I had A genosaurer with the pulse four equipped have a couple of goes at me then go away and not try again. And a white command wolf who came to bug me whilst in the shield liger unsuccessfully 10 times in a row. And You're right we're certainly matching with some fresh new names now we are matching with anyone, Some are ok , though some like the white command wolf mentioned have a bit to learn I think. Haven't seen any standard Deathsaurers yet though.

I wouldn't say Destroyers are obsolete so much, I had a good couple of runs with Saber tiger, iron finned and with the 160 damage Gatling. I certainly feel the wrath of Destroyers when making my way across the field in the new Gojulas zoid. Destroyers keep the matches interesting. Like a necessary predator for the benefit of the eco system.

Ouch closing on the victory screen that's painful!! I had come close before, but thankfully returned to find a container waiting and a win. Must have closed it a second or two too early.

[Hanyoutai]

Out of 8 battles, I think I saw 4 Death Saurers? A single Death Stinger and Ogre. The thing with destroyers is more that they can't get at Commanders and other Zoids hiding among their smalls very easily. Which they shouldn't, mind you, but their scope of attack opportunities has dramatically shrunk. I might take one out later and see how it goes~ In the mean time though, enjoying the comfort of the Shield Liger. Even finding I often make the kill scores!

I do notice K Wufs though have been great at holding their own. See them targeting Zeroes a lot, and playing general interference while we work on destroying bases. Large ZOids are also much scarier. Large Zoids can be scary to newcomers. I've had my Ogre almost destroy the HQ a few times.

That Command Wolf sounds like a challenge for the enemy team. Thankfully, most people still have some experience at least.

[Vig]

　Oh yea now I've seen a number of Deathsaurers , It's a relief when it's the enemy side. I've noticed Large zoids seem to walk much faster now! It's not long before they're on the other side of the level. But I do think they have less health, so easier to kill but gotta get to them quickly.

[Hanyoutai]

Another article by Livedoor News shows the sides of the box. I can't really make out the kanji on it, though. I feel like we've seen these before but I don't know if it was a dead on shot like that.

Wild Liger has very creatively named "Claw" and "Fang" weapons. I guess he won't be getting shiny variants of those. I'm sure I've said it before, but I love the box designs. They also seem to have a very brief fuselage description like the NJR Zoids.

These guys are small, too! Wild Liger is 4.5m tall and 9?.4m long, at 40 tons. That makes him decently smaller than a Helcat, but actually over 50% heavier.
