The Problem With: Gundam Evolution

[@gayema664]

One of the biggest problems I have is the community being quitters before the game even start, they don't grt their favorite character and quits making the whole game a no contest. I really hate it.

[@Littleluirui]

The thing I don't like is the way it feels when you're playing. It just feels like another first-person shooter, not you piloting a Gundam. I would like my interface to look like an actual Gundam cockpit, not just a first-person view. The movement feels human if that makes sense, you are "piloting" a Gundam, but you are not a Gundam. Make me feel that way! Make me feel in control of the machine! Take Titanfall for example. When you were inside the machine you knew you were piloting an amazing powerful Titan. When you were just running around as a pilot you could see and feel the difference. Same here with many different Gundams to choose from change the cockpit a little bit making them feel unique aside from the abilities. If I'm using the Double

About the shop, this is what I think about it. Don't even bother spending real money on individualized cosmetics or characters. If you are going full free 2 play, don't even think about completing the entire 60 level battlepass unless you are ready to do some serious grinding. However if you really like the game and want to spend something and can play consistently, just buy the 10 dollars battlepass. It gives you a variety of cosmetics, free lot box ticket every couple of levels, and enough points which you get at level 18 and the other one at 50 something to buy 1 paid character. Additionally if you notice, the daily and weekly missions which you need to do to get the red EXp to level up your battlepass have some missions locked behind the premium pass. At this time I am not sure if this extra missions will give you double the speed to finish the battlepass or if it's that the free players will unlock things 50% the speed (meaning that premium gated missions are the only way to comfortably finish the battlepass without too much grinding, if that's the case that's not good).

[@sloth7thsin798]

honestly you can finish the pass juat fine you can get about 100 pass xp a match im currently only 56 hours into the playing and close to lvl 50 in the season pass with little more than a month left into the pass as a F2P you can currently earn 2 mobile suits from the beginner challenge completion and lvl 55 on the season pass ,myself will be getting to lvl 7 on the beginner challenge on the 27th of october since all i have left is to log in. so still able to be done if you did your daily's and weeklies and beginner challenges and have fun in casual

I’m glad there are people pointing out the current problems this game has. That’s not to say there aren’t people doing it already, but majority of the YT videos I’ve seen are people doing montages and praising the game. THERE ARE good things about this game. I managed to get five of my friends to play it (none of which are Gundam fans) and they like it. We’re consistently playing every night and getting into intense matches where we hit overtime rounds with one lead away from winning or losing and it’s moments like that that keep players coming back. But goddamn that monetization and grind for the locked mobile suits is a major problem for free to play players. Challenges are time gated with the “login three days in a row” and the bugs, like you said, can really turn the tide of a fight. Hell, I managed to catch two hard crashes in a row (which happened twice) and I was penalized for it. I hope Bandai hits us with changes and bug fixes in their first patch because some of these factors will really affect the longevity and player retention of this game and I love this game despite its flaws. I just hope they act fast because I’m not giving up on this game and I want it to stick around for the long run.

[@KoAkaiTengami]

The solution to people stealing your gundam (and I know how this sounds) is to get comfortable with a few so that you have your main and maybe one or two backups. I main Methus but play Guntank just as well and I've never really worried about people stealing it anymore.

[@Fettley]

Fax, either that or just main the Bottom tier boys: Marasai and Mahiroo. Seldom does anyone pick 'em. Perfect for maining.

I like the fact that the game encourages you to be good at more than 1 Unit maybe even more than 2.

[@quincykearney9862]

Some Gundam in this game are to op. Gundam Barbatos can one hit kill you in a full charge attack. GM Gundam can use a shield and shoot you at the same time. I think that's BS because how come Gundam can't use it shield and beam rifle at the same time. Another issue I have, how come all Gundam can't use melee weapon.

[@GameBooAdvancePlus]

with overwatch 2 releasing, its honestly shocking that OW2's monetization is WAY worse than Gundam Evolution.

[@domonicfelgrand6881]

I don't mind that capital is hidden behind missions, I just wish they were more of them and refreshing regularly. I don't know what it's like after you clear the bigginer steps but I'm currently locked behind a 2 day log in wait so I can't earn any more at all right now. I feel the grind for capital would be easier to handle if there was a set of dailies that gives pennies and weeklies that give more, and have them active alongside the beginner missions. But the game is just days old so I feel weather or not it's actually a grind will be determined by how many much you get a season and how often new characters get added in.

[@bigguschungus2453]

The main thing i hate about this game is the goddam queue. Sometimes the game just completely screws you over and there's nothing you can do about it because the player base is still low. Then again i only have 1 simple request. Separate solo queue and team queue. This is simply very unfair as team coordination is key to winning this game. The enemy is using team-speak, has 3-6 eyes shot-calling and my team is scrambling around all over the place. I prioritize objectives and focus on luring/ distracting enemies and it's frustrating to see that my team can't push even though i've killed 1 and 2 people is chasing me inside the compound. Essentially making it a 5 v 3. and for some gunddam reason they can't push. Ultimately wasting effort and now the enemy knows what i am doing getting me focused the whole goddam game. (I've had so many matches where 3 dudes will chase me down and leave the plant area just to kill my annoying azz, i consider it a win, but hey the team still lost the push so it's wasted) For some reason some people will pick units they have no idea how to use in RANK. There's no scoreboard to see who's the dumbass that ruined the game. (the very least thing i can do is to know that guys name and focus on him the next encounter) You guys probably think i am toxic in game and I'd say you're probably right. However I can't. Ill most likely would be however, SEA server is basically empty and Japan queue is fast and I don't speak japanese.

[@raikozy35]

I rather not being able to shoot for one life than not being able to respawn after the countdown reaches 0, like yesterday lol. After 1 minute the game thought I was AFK and kicked me out, and I got a 5 minutes suspension. Other than that the game is pretty fun. Will try to play Overwatch 2 when it's out. I played a crap ton of OW1 a crap ton back when I was in in university but ultimately quit because it's not good for my mental health.

[@domonicfelgrand6881]

Did you call the great Zaku an inferior Gundam?! My wrath is unquenchable!

[@fujiwatertofumi5363]

Glad I’m not the only one. After a reload or using trans am on exia I either can’t shoot or aim or charge up the gn sword without repeatedly clicking the right mouse button.

[@jakejohnson718]

No matter how many issues evolution has, it's still better than overwatch 2

[@riffcrypt8438]

After playing for a few days on console I dislike this game for the same reason I disliked Aliens: Fireteam Elite. The gameplay and combat just feel uninspired and bland. Graphics in battle become a convoluted mess with particle effects and it has the pea-shooter feeling, like I'm playing tag as a kid with a water gun, not operating a 15 story metal death machine. A watered-down clone of a clone of a slight variation of a clone of an FPS, only with mobile suits. Menu UI on the console is even more of a nightmare but I'd just deal with it if the game was really gripping.

[@kurisu7885]

Also, surplexing mobile suits in the Turn A is a freakin blast. Judo throwing a Barbatos or an Exia is satisfying

[@geraldge1562]

My only problem is the that it's still kinda like a overwatch reskin for me atleast because of the details. Like for example Exia is too much of a Genji because why is the main weapon throwing the gn daggers like Exia has a GN rifle built in the GN Sword it uses. Then the skins are so boring like should have made skins that is like very relevant to the suits. Like what they did to a Zaku II skin they made it into Char's Zaku the main antagonist. I wish they made like the gunplas as skin. For example for Sazabi they could use the 3D model of RG Sazabi or the MG Sazabi ver ka. that would be so much better than slapping a dragon that changes color on the mobile suits.

[@2012Apokalypse]

He throws daggers because its Exia 7 Swords and not Base Exia.

[@geraldge1562]

@@2012Apokalypse I mean that is still Exia his main weapon is still the GN sword and rifle tho

[@paragonnight437]

@@geraldge1562 I love that hr uses daggers. Its a weapon he's always had even as exia. And while sure his main weapon is the gun and sword, it's nice being a bit unique. I've really loved the variety of tools the mobile suits have. As for the skins, well most of them suck ass xD. Wish u could get them as decals and mix n match them yourself. Would give u customization and more of an incentive to get them even if u don't like them by themselves.

The marketing team has conflicting opinions lelelel.

[@zaedis5629]

This game is good enough, game play wise, that this is the universal opinion.

[@VuDude17]

First thing I noticed, the maps are so bare and poorly designed. Nothing interesting going on and everything is grey

[@foehammersbane3733]

This games needs alot of changes (I.e obtainable capital from matches) in order to effectively provide a reason to continue playing. Maybe progression with the levels for level unique cosmetics. It would be interesting if they pull something off like that. Right now, the game hasn't been out for a full week so we should wait and see to how they intend to improve the game.

[@kurisu7885]

I had the gun problem the other day. I was piloting the Sazabi and at least three times in a single match my gun and shield were gone, just gone, except for my axe throw I was completely helpless.

[@Gundamu-p9m]

There not ALL GUNDAMS the zaku 2 is just a zaku 2 it's not a gundam the pale rider sure looks similar to a gundam BUT ITS IT OWN KIND OF MOBILE SUIT if the name of the mobile suit DOESN'T have gundam in it then it's not a gundam if your curious about the guntank then it's a mobile suit that was made ALONG SIDE the gundam so they share a similar name

[@zekromfusion6319]

Wish I could play it on steam deck. The developers would just have to enable easy anti cheat for Linux.

[@GX9900A]

You also get enough capital for 1 unlock free in the free path of the season pass, each season. They definitely do need to give us more options then just the beginners path and the season pass, but it is enough for 2 MS this first season. The season pass also is fairly forgiving, as it's only been a few days and me and my friends are already to the late 20's of the pass and expect to be to 30 before the weekly reset. Again they do need to fix it and give us more options but it is slightly more forgiving then you give them credit for in the video.

[@sloppychlow9329]

For a team based shooter the game barely has any team combo tactics other then healing one and another and maybe hiding behind someone as a shield

[@tbc1880]

Maybe but playing overwatch... I rather have the team mechanics softer since it's not exactly fun when you are playing without a dedicated group. Essentially in practically every team game: overwatch, paladins, mobas I've played I get shoehorned into a support/tank roles. And I'm not super upset about it since I learned to have fun and got very good at them. But the nature of team games often leads to situations where one player not doing their job in these roles making it meaningless no matter how good you are at your job. Overwatch lost me because it doesn't matter how good I am at tanking or healing when my team doesn't have the fire power aim or common sense to use the giant shield they can shoot through to stay safe. Nor following said shield that is visible cracking as it moves to cover to avoid the firing range when it goes down. Same issue with healers, doesn't matter if I keep everyone patched up and use my cc abilities if I don't have a tank to help give me safety while doing so, or I keep getting flanked point it out and nobody watches my back, or they run off into areas I know I will die and I can't exactly risk my life for one team-mate when I got 4 others to keep alive and so on and so forth. Games where you can sort of manage without those roles even if its not as easy or viable at the peak of competitive play offer more fun because even if I'm playing a supportive character I'm essentially playing a character with the same role as everyone else but with a supportive tool or two. Then I can let my abilities on damage be of use while being able to also use my skills as a support too. Instead of being functionally useless outside of my role and reliant on random players to be good at their jobs else I might as well not even play. If I had to point to a game that did this perfectly imo it would be vainglory because with a few items the support role which was a mix of tanks, crowd controls, healers and warders could leverage their usually high health pool both inate and from their supportive items to be very dangerous. Such as an item that deals a percentage of hp, another which deals a chunk of damage every so often and increases a damage piercing stat. Combine that with their ccs and wards and it makes it very cathartic to stun and enemy over and over chase them to their base as they run away knowing they can't kill you on their own before you kill them and getting away scott free, or using an item to rally your team as you completely disable the enemy teams movements and via the use of items and targeted skills make even the worst player on your team functionally invincible. The tools the supports had only really required them to use the shop half competently throughout the game to stay strong, and them to be around you for you to make them win almost any fight. Infact if they weren't the item system and how some abilities scaled allowed for you to spec into a slightly more offensive role to make up the damage they weren't dealing while still being a capable support. In this game there were even times where you would get jumped by a support frequently as they held that level of offensive threat not from their firepower but cc and durability. However gundam can't exactly do that here due to a lack of items mid match. And one major thing being that aside from late game in the 5v5 move the game mostly saw 2v2 to 3v3 encounters. And being a moba it was more chess like due to map design flanking, decisions to get ahead in the gold race and set pieces like minions and turrets. Aside from going soft with roles the only other thing I can think is going hard with them to the point that the supportive roles can still function in the main offensive style of engagement they just win with means other than damage. Like how a flanker won't win against a rifle man in an open environment they need to manage their approach and damaging skills to get a quick finish, the support roles would win by mitigating the offensive skills of other classes when they aim to use them best as a pre-emptive or a skill they need to use to win the fight overall but best used to counter an offensive skill also, such a stun skill to prevent them from attacking while you recover, deal damage or gain crucial distance or a healing skill you'll want to use to heal through an attack or when your health is low to get the most out of it before it goes on a long cooldown, the risk being that you could end up getting hit with that powerful skill waiting for your health to get low to use it and die before. But these skills double for your team allowing them to heal and you to save allies from being killed or severely damaged. The support is still valued for teamplay but isn't reliant on others using them properly like in overwatch. Everyone can play the game mostly how they want and the support can support well whether the other players play with them or not.
