pvp?

[Berets]

possibility to play in PVP versus another players and have a world Ranking? and what about similar combat mode about Zone of Enders ? that game was awesome fight ... but in all gundam game i've played the gameplay was so bad

[Rutile]

No, this game isn't a competitive multiplayer game. More of a mecha beat-em-up with looter/RPG elements. Isn't the Gundam Versus series similar to Zone of the Enders? You could check out Maxi Boost ON if you play on PS4. Aside from that, there's a thread in here somewhere that already discussed PVP, so I don't have much else to speak about.

EDIT: I just realized I spoke too conclusively even though we only had one trailer so far (and a closed beta with very few features). But looking historically, Breaker 3 didn't have proper live PvP (you could fight the builds of other players), and from what I've read, there is score-based PvP in New Breaker, but the combat of New Breaker is so gutted compared to other games in the series, that this game is backpedalling on most of its gameplay changes to be more faithful to Breaker 3. Regardless, I wouldn't count on PvP. It doesn't suit the type of game Breaker 3 was, which is the game this one's trying to be a successor to.

Going back to Megaton Musashi right now is a good example of why you can't do PVP in a mecha parts grind-based free-build RPG.

Day 2 and they're already complaining about just one guy having a better part essentially makes the others like thin air. And it was also a problem in previous GBs. And AC6 which has PVP is getting most of their complains exactly because of this.

That's why they made arena PVP with AI-bots, so that people still have a fighting chance cause unless you yourself is an expert who maxed your kit, you don't wanna fight another expert who maxed their kits AND have customized everything to their own pace and tactics who can 100% effectively use it on you.

And there's no real way to gatekeep player by levels since the EXP were mostly collection-based. An LV200 player who fumbled their build could be a lot weaker than an LV50 who watched guides and built to meta.

So you get New Gundam Breakers, where they purposefully made your build pointless just to get a somewhat "fair" PVP experiences under the genre.

And we all know how that turns out.

But yeah, if you really want PVP, NGB would be where you're headed. (Not that I'm suggesting this though... I mean I'm not nuts or something.)

Yeah it's bad to have pvp in ARPGs in general unless they are regulated matches where everyone has access to similarly powered parts. If not regulated then it's whatever person grinded the most (or cheated) to get better parts.

Thinking on things, I wonder if Gundam and PVP is a job for the Chivalry devs. If you think about it, a lot of battles in Gundam are decided with beam saber and heat hawk, which makes me wonder if medieval combat would work well with giant mechs.

The balancing would be a complete nightmare with thousands of combinations to choose from to build. Pretty much why pvp gundam games like EXVS games barely have any customization, other than some suit skins and Hud skins.

its hard to find a team that will go thru all the min/max exploration of their own game. in some cases the devs will leave it up to the community and you got all the cry babies that dont respect the process. they instead give the game a bad rating after the first nerf that isnt in their favor.

There's a possibility someone can make a mod like this. I hang out in a modding discord for the game and we know you can make a custom missions so that's a step in the right direction. There are a few hurdles between now and pvp but hopefully it happens, balanced or not.
