Things EDF5 SHOULD add or change:
Overall:
>rework the armor system. On PC people use CheatEngine to get max HP. On consoles people spend dozens of hours AFK farming ant nests to get a reasonable amount of armor.
>make it apply to all classes. No need to invest 200 hours gathering red boxes 3 more times when you already did it with your main class. Having seperate values just restricts your choices on difficult levels (eahc class will still get a higher or lower % of your shared armor pool. Meaning that Fencers would still have more HP than WingDivers
>Expand hitbox of armor/weapon drops by 10x, keep health drops the same to avoid unwated pick-ups.

Fencer:
>Integrate dash-cancel function as a base-level mechanic. Having 4 weapon choices SOUNDS fun until you realise you MUST use a Javelin Catapult (or equivalent) to cancel animations and a melee weapon to dash with. So you end up with only 2 weapon slots available and usually you want to couple weapons together so you pratically only use 1 weapon (x2) per mission

WingDiver:
>After landing you can simply hold L2 again to fly again, rather than having a second of deadtime where L2 does nothing and you must spam it until it works again. That time where you can't fly right after you land would still be there, but at least you could keep holding L2 instead of mashing the trigger

Air Raider:
>Just fucking redo all vehicle handeling and controls. It's horrible. Bikes damage themselves from normal driving, Every helicopter is a nightmare to fly and impossible to aim with until the top3 high level options are unlocked. re-balance vehicle durability for more viable options.

I think that's it. I could go into so much more detail, like some (otherwise fun) Fencer weapons being so stupidly hard to handle - for example using a high lvl flamethrower is nearly impossible on the Fencer due to the stupid high vertical recoil, much less 2 of them at the same time. I get the idea but the execution can't be THIS extreme on some weps

You know how the Wing Diver has wheels at the back of her shoes? Maybe not. She lands on those and slides/slows down via them. There's a very clear animation for it. Once that ends, you can fly again.

Didn't it sell really well on PC, though? That's excluding the expected "massive spike in sales" once the game is below 10 bucks. Most Japanese publishers aren't like Sega, where they say "our port was extremely profitable" and then make games only for consoles. I'd expect the Japs would get the PS4 version first, and they'd get the PC version when we get the western version, which is both PS4 and PC.

While I agree with pretty much all of them, I don't understand why people keep saying you need over a 100 hours of farming to get enough armor. You do understand you're not supposed to go in with an absurdly high health pool of 10k+ right? Anything from 2-5k should be enough for any of the main game missions on inferno (not talking about the DLC ones, some of them can get so fucking crazy hard I'm not sure even a crazy high health pool will help) and if you're still not clearing them, you either need better weapons or need to get good.

What the fuck are you retards doing Ranger and Air Raider are both top fucking tier and if you can't use them right you're a fucking scrub.

>>385866890
Because they have been lulled into a false sense of security running shit like Crimson on inferno where Balam is actually really effective against them.

When the insect health and damages starts scaling at higher levels, it catches them off guard.

Also
>Save me!
Selfish cunts.
I literally only use that line if there's a teammate sitting right on top of me with a full health bar. They'll get to you when it's safe to get to you, sitting there pestering them because you got yourself killed isn't gonna change that.

>Armour grinding
Armour grinding is fucked, agreed. I feel like this would be much less of a problem if all uncollected weapon/armour crates were autocollected at the end of a mission. Maybe make ones you actually pick up have a higher drop level or give twice as much armour.
>Fencer
Dash-cancel probably isn't intended fencer behavior. He's clearly meant to be slow but powerful. If they find people liked it better with the cancel, why not just give him a boost meter and let him hold his jetpack or dash secondaries.
>Diver
They're getting an airdash dodge by the looks of it, so perhaps that will help mitigate the problem.

Have finished most of the main game except a few cunt missions on inferno with all classes and not one of them has over 2k armour because I couldn't be fucked grinding.

People are just scrubs, and absurdly high amounts of armour are a crutch because they're using shitty tactics or bad gear or just plain not bothering to think about how to approach a mission. If you have four people who know what they're doing, pay attention, and plan your gear and tactics for each mission well, you should be able to finish the majority of them after 2-3 tries with around 2500 armour each.

sure, you don't need more than 5k for early missions.

Jesus Christ. I'd rather cheat engine than waste hours upon hours having my armor go up by one or two thousand.

Like I said, I beat the game solo on hard and then on Inferno with a max of 2200 and that includes levels like Charge Phase 2 where my depth crawler wasn't allowed to exist. In MP I can see needing more since monsters can take and deal up to 4x more damage, but at least on solo inferno 1000+ health lets you take at least one ant shotgun spray or getting wrapped in spider webs.

of course I neglected to mention it depends on class. I'm mostly talking about the direct combat classes. air raider, on the other hand, I believe can get away with having less, because he can augment his armor by sitting in vehicles and luring enemy aggro away with Charon bomber's Strafe Plans in several tougher missions. being able to instantly removing high-HP threats with Artillery team's Cannon is also helpful at times

Some of those inferno levels wouldn't have been beatable without the NPC's to draw most of the aggro. The levels where NPC commanders tried to follow their on route were usually the harder ones since all they'd do is lead their men directly into a swarm and get wiped in seconds.

Rangers have the up side of having the most actually useful weapons, and the highest weapon variety.
While the other classes' bonuses really help, it also can be a huge hinderance in specific moments.

Wingfags are literally the worst. Even Boostfencers will hang around and hold the line until they're the last one standing. Wingfags always vanish the instant an enemy actually enters line of sight.

Joining literally any game I actually see up that is running Inferno instead of completionshit, there's usually only one or two up at any given time and one is always just doing the same mission over and over to farm, so there's not a lot of options.

>Wing Divers
The problem with Wing Divers is mostly multiplayer based thanks to multiplayer damage and health modifiers, but the essential problem is they are an EARLY GAME ONLY class. Each subsequent mission sees all enemy damage ramped up. Late game Hard does more damage than early game Hardest, for instance. Wing Divers simply don't scale.

And rushing in to take out one target with your rapier then forcing your team to get your corpse does not make you useful.

One of three things needs to happen. Not all of them. Just one would nudge wing diver in the right direction. More health, less gimmick bullshit weapons that don't work, or faster base flight speed. Really, it's the gimmick bullshit weapons that hurt the most. You have the choice of long range shit which is so weak it won't contribute, close range weapons closer than basic spiders and ants need to be to oneshot you with trivial ease, and gimmick weapons that don't even hit their target.

Multiplayer is where wingdivers fall apart. Single player is fine baring a few missions that really don't play to the class's strengths. They are easy in single player so long as you play smart, but multiplayer moves too many target points.

WD becomes better if you don't think of her as "the flying girl" and instead think of her flight pack as a jump pack. if you get in the habit of flying in short, parabolic arcs and holding off on reloading until you're out of the fray, you'll find yourself with a lot more energy to throw around

Idunn's best trait is its penetrating lightning. it's the best shit in the game for stopping whole lines of insects in their tracks or keeping Hectors from aiming properly

most of the time, your first slot will contain an Idunn, and your second slot will contain some close-range, high DPS weapon like rapiers or laser lances (your preference), or mission-specific weapons such as sniper weapons (Monster, Monster-S, Gungnir) or sometimes plasma launchers

know when to stay away (hectors with machine guns, spider swarms that are already aggro'd), and know when to get close (any other hectors, tunnel exits, shield screens) and you'll have a good time
>>
>>385905234

not very. I like the game, and I marathoned most of those missions with randoms so I was never lonely.

>>
>>385900979
I disagree, some missions in hardest/inferno really needed a bunch of soldiers as cannon fodder to distract the bugs.

Also some of the missions that are literally you alone against an horde of aliens and bugs are hilarious from the point of view that you are supposed to be in a fuckhuge army yet they send one soldier to deal with the bug apocalypse?

if you can help it, play with people you know

randoms can stil be fun, but only when they communicate and coordinate with you. avoid "disabled chat" rooms for the best chance of cooperation, because the in-game voice menu simply isn't specific enough. stay away from shitters who farmed tons of weapons but not enough armor. create a backup of your save-file before every online session to protect against the occasional cheaters

In case anyone wants to farm armor quickly, you can farm for two classes (or get double the armor for one class) if you play in split screen.

Running Brute Force on Easy with high level weapons as anything but Ranger (as AR can use a bike or grape to get around quickly) can net you 150+ boxes in 5 minutes. Excepting WD that's 120+ hp per run if you double up on one class.

The downside to the shield is that they have MUCH longer reload times, so if you're caught out, you're likely going to be going much slower for longer while it recharges.

It's exquisite bringing dual gatlings to a mission.

Sadly, they're so rarely an option to just park and lay down the dakka.

In beating my hard clears for fencer, I think I literally spent an hour kiting one mission... picking out moments where I had enough of a lead to land a couple shots into the king and queen before the horde caught up. Punching a few with the lance every so often so I'd have health on the next loop if I got clipped.

I would have liked to see a mission on an actual aircraft carrier in the ocean, seems like it would be kind of fun. Maybe they could make it so that you can jump from ship to ship or something, flying vehicles and stuff included, etc. Also could use it to introduce some water based enemies maybe. Hell they could just go full crazy and make it underwater like those missions from Lost Planet 2. Fuck me Lost Planet 2 was such a great game.

I gotta say, the plasma launcher column for Wing Divers is amazing. They are cludgy and awkward at the best of times, and will kill you and everyone around you at the worst. Nothing splats entire waves of insects quite like it, though.

My tip to wing divers is to not be afraid to bring one if no one else is picking up the wave clear job. Wing Divers can be really good at it. Leave hardened targets to others if it comes down to it. Just be a bit conservative with the shots. You only need to thin out the charging horde to a manageable size. Not kill all of it.
>>
>>385911630
Figure out what weapons work well in what situation for your chosen class.
Plan for a mission carefully and keep in mind what the rest of your squad has taken. If it's a kill the transport ships missions and the WD has two gungnirs, you don't need to waste a weapon slot taking a gun to shoot them down with yourself.
Pay attention to your squad and work with them, don't run off on your own unless it accomplishes something like drawing the swarm off everyone else so they can reload and heal.
Respect the enemy, especially on higher difficulties. Enemies in MP are tougher then the same enemies on the same difficulty and mission is solo/splitscreen.

Don't be afraid to play support roles if it comes down to it, but that obviously depends on the class. Rangers can take healing guns, and they have several weapon categories that are so good you don't really need another offensive secondary. Air Raiders are loaded to the tits with support equipment, and all of it is fantastic. Guard Posts and Laser Guidance are both vastly underused. Though laser guidance kits need you to get others to cooperate with it, it can vastly shorten lock on times for some very powerful weapons in the game.

Though just taking along a guard post and something to heal on air raider is a good quick way to be MVP. Guard post, turrets, and an ambulance also work. Setting up a SAFE SPACE for your team is pretty valuable when things go to shit. No one will complain you're not racking up kills, and it's fairly low stress.

If you want to play some other way, you can only learn to play your class properly.

Air Raider is purely a support class. Even when you are in a vehicle, you should be playing as if you are artillery/fire support.

Sadly, part of this is mission knowledge so you can set up at the right location BEFORE calling in your vehicle. You're usually faster rolling over and over on foot to keep up with people then setting up behind them.

From what I remember Ranger now gets to call in 3 basic vehicles, a bike, a tank and a chopper. Not sure how they will stack up to Air Raider's stuff but I think it's safe to assume they'll be weaker.
Air Raider's airstrikes can be manually aimed in a top down view instead of the thrown grenades.
New enemies include an Anguirus looking boss enemy, flying frogs which I assume will replace the dragons, and a pillbug enemy. There's also a maser tank and a bunch of tall mech things that will probably replace the vegaltas although you might have seen those already from the previous trailers. That's about it I guess, maybe I'm forgetting something but I don't remember there being that much new stuff.

There's nothing more satisfying than using someone else's beacon and launching "any" missile launcher at them. Pheonix and leviathan are work horses but high altitude and the ranger multi launcher are artworks in flight.

The level 50+ blue Vegaltas are actually really good because of the maneuverability boost and the shitty rocket cannon is replaced with a flamer and the obscenely good shoulder mortar, and there's a level 65 Revolver Custom that's essentially an ridiculously amped up version of the Missile Gun.

I hope they make fencer an actual force to be reckoned with, even if they gotta stand in one place to be deadly enough to stand their ground and keep it

>>385912058
Just drop Normal entirely and start playing on Hard instead. The first mission is deceptively tough, but after that it should be smooth sailing and you'll get showered with actually neat toys.

Wing Divers are actually extremely good in cave levels, the lightning guns become obscenely good in tunnels and the high mobility is a massive boon.
>>
>>385919810
Please use the reflectron lasers in caves if you're a wing diver. The ants don't like to disco.

Have you tried the Thunder Sniper 40 in cave levels?

I like how there's only like, what, ten or so big-ass maps that you approach from different directions to make it seem like it's different every time.
>>
>>385920703
I have and I don't really rate or I'm using it wrong. I fire it then it until I run out of juice and then I'm just back to using idunn FF or whatever else. Sure on lower difficulties it will empty a cave in one go, but when the enemies have hit points to speak off they can tank a lot of it.
>>
>>385888826
Move up to a higher level then. You can still get low level weapons from those.

I can't imagine how awful AR would be if the attack whale had friendly fire like all his air raids
>>
>>385924898
It does, I know for a fact the 150mm and 120mm whale cannons have lots and lots of friendly fire. If you're thinking about the autocannon version, it just has no splash damage and it less likely to hit you.

It really is a shame that this is how things are advertised there, they get people who don't give a fuck about the game to overreact at everything which makes it almost unbearable to watch, I don't know if Japanese people really like watching this or if they're just hiring them because it's what the industry does. I would have much preferred if they just got people making the game to do it, hell the Producer looks like he knows what he's doing, so why not get him and 2 others to do it? Maybe since they actually worked on it they can talk about some of the design decisions as well. Or you know, we can have this insufferable shit we currently have right now.

Can't you already do that?
>>
>>385927061
yes with certain weapons
I dunno if that guy was trying to say you can do it with anything now or just mistakenly thought it was something new
>>
>>385926854
From what I've seen, this is pretty standard for Japan; it's set up a lot like their variety shows and stuff. They love girls screaming UUEEHHH? over every little thing

>>385927328

I can foresee so many shenanigans happening with this feature. I'm gonna create an army of docile frogmen wherever possible.
>>
>>385927576
they regrow their limbs
>>
>>385927703
I'd like to see them regrow their guns.
>>
>you have 3 slots for air raider and the third slot is not limited to a vehicle
About time!

>Implying they will not pick their weapons after growing back their limbs
If anyone has play Reginleiv on the Wii, these frog monsters are the same as the trolls from that game which regrow limbs after a period of time. Only thing is frog man will limp around trying to shoot you while trolls just sit around after de-limbing.

>>385858997
It's really enjoyable, though some missions feel like they're impossible to solo on the highest difficulty level. I still managed to beat the final mission on the middle difficulty. Then again I chose to play this game using controller only, since I figured mouse and keyboard would make it too easy. Definitely recommend checking it out even for single player, it's incredibly chaotic and fun.

I'm sure multiplayer would bring the game to a whole new level, particularly since many of the vehicles are only useful with other players, but I haven't tried it yet.

armageddons heavy class was superior to 4.1 fencers.

>>385929651
It was really just a slow heavy ranger, weapon-wise. I will agree the shield was a lot better though

I hope these frogs aren't replacing dragons.

EDF has the best display of dragons in an media ever. Fast moving fire breathing fuck heads. But frogs are still just frogs.

Also I'm creeped the fuck out by pillbugs/woodlice, do not like at all

Fuck red dragons tho
