Lol reading this with your avatar made me laugh. Yeah I joined Indiana at first cuz that's where I live. But it's like we're not very active. So jumped to California.

Every time I play this game I come away with more questions.
If I die, can I keep attempting to kill my own hater to get him back or will he disappear?

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I'm struggling with the lock on. Is that just me? Any tips? Granted I've only played for 30 min so far but it's causing me more damage than I am myself

Yeah, the F2P elements are basically storage, free rides on elevators/metro and being able to revive on the spot.
The revives are really only there to soften the roguelike blow. You can earn your character back with in game money easily or just kill them yourself. Just note that killing them wipes their inventory when you get them back.
I am so addicted to this game right now that it's not even funny.
Why did I pick Canada?

Uh, just so you guys know, the dropkick input overrides getting on an escalator to exit the zone.
I felt lazy, so I full sprinted through the area and ended falling on my back when six or seven guys surrounding me, who then blocked me from moving or turning around in order to get the prompt to leave.

Charge attack feels really good to land. It's worth taking a little bit of damage for it.
A devastating combo for me and that I'm seeing a lot of haters running is Machete/Butterfly Knife. Both are quick and devastating. Incredibly easy to kill off one or two combos.
Coen dead with 3 hits from the butterfly knife. Three.
Protip- Your hockey pucks can kill you too. Great.

Absolutely. I'm using it with my tank character who can take a few hits, perfect combination.

I mean, we could all migrate to one team and it'd be the same minus the title, no?
Lucent

That's not a bad idea really.
Thats true actually. Maybe we all should switch then.
Still, would be cool to have your own Team profile with a Logo and all that.

Yoga healing is so cool

That's the one reason why I'm a little hesitant. If we do this and then they add the ability to make your own teams, we just blew our one free transfer.
As long as the cost isn't outrageous I guess it's worth the risk.

My favorite mushroom!
Did you know you can end your pose early by pressing circle?
gerogerogerogero*ooooh! gerogerogero".
Thank you! And yep, played a couple hours before maintenance last night and going to play a ton today
I haven't even gotten past the 2nd floor yet (by choice, being super methodical) and I'm in love. I do think this has wider appeal than it seems to many at first glance. I mean... the asking price is pretty hard to argue with...
Thanks, I will correct that!
That is very cool. I haven't tried out the fireworks yet. And intermediate/advance tips with stuff about individual weapon classes, decals, which mushrooms and beasts to grill, and the raiding/defense elements would be awesome to do at some point.
hey thanks
Generally speaking, running like hell to the next semblance of safety without looking back (my preferred strategy in the vast majority of Soulsborne levels XD) seems much less viable in this. Aggro leashes seem endless or nearly so, and input confusion like you've noted here makes it even trickier.Riposte said:
The lock-on is best used sparingly, when you have a single target you want to kite around. In most tighter environments and especially when against a few opponents, it is best avoided.
Maybe it's better to wait a while. It's not like we cant switch teams a month from now.
News to me! I dont think i'll ever have to end early when using it, but still good to know.

Fighting a hater with the hockey stick in a room is absolutely terrifying if they get a rage attack off.
Edit: Made a Striker and they can't equip anything by default because their HP is below 200, amazing lol

The grilled yoga mushroom lasts a really long time. I've gotten worried that I might get jackaled while posing on several occasions while at full health waiting for it to wear off.
And lets not speak too much about that time in my early adventures when I accidentally ate one mid combat, and stood there holding my pose while a screamer tore me apart...
You cant refresh that list, it means someone else is currently raiding that target though, you just need to check back every so often til it goes through.

Im using the free one day pass but dont have free revives?

I think it's good to let the yoga pose run, it also builds up your rage meter too, so I only use it when I need to heal and get rage back.
You need to spend a death metal to revive on the spot, she probably is talking about that since that is the currency you can buy with real money.

I died a few times today too. Just bad luck, raiding people way too strong and getting thrown into group fights with strong Haters. Not the best day.
Hahaha, this kind of stuff happens to all of us. Always hilarious to read this stuff, the weird random fuck ups always make me laugh.

This game really is special. But if there's no ending I don't know.
Man, you wanna hear fuck ups? Last night I was on floor 17 desperately trying to find an elevator to GTFO. I got caught off guard by a Hater and ate a poison shroom on accident.
I died vomiting blood while the Hater taunted me. Sad times.
The default inventory size, even with higher grade characters, feels purposefully small. I think its 19 with a G3 Striker, even with one set of armour and one weapon you're down to 15, it'll be full in one high level floor. It certainly makes playing without the express pass (and its +10 inventory) feel punishing.

Question: I'm getting low on the free Death Medals. How does the revive work with in game currency? What do I lose and where do I spawn vs using a Death Medal?
Don't feel like buying more if I don't have to.

You go to the Fighter's freezer and you "recover" the character with the game currency, you get your character back with everything you hold with him.
Depending the rank and the floor it can cost you more or less, for example recovering my character on Floor 17 costs 33k.

If you don't buy insurance, you go back to the fighter freezer to choose another fighter to use. You have three options at this point:
1. Pay the salvage fee. This immediately puts your fighter back in the freezer, exp, coin, and inventory intact. It gets more expensive the higher up you go.
2. Choose a different fighter, climb the tower to the same area your other fighter died, and kill their haterfied self. Uncle Death will reclaim the body. You will find it in the freezer at no cost, but the fighter will be naked, all inventory lost.
3. Release the missing fighter to free up the freezer slot, and buy a new one.

To revive with coins, you have to do it at your freezer, so basically you start back at your waiting room. You get whatever gear and loot they still had on them when they died. The other way where you beat the shit out of your hateified self by running back to where you die, you get your body back, but all their gear is gone, so this option is if you value the character more than their loot.

Well I mean that's what the collector is for right?

Keep moving up the tower and they'll unlock

So for option 1 all I lose is my progress in the level. Nice.
What does insurance do? Missed that.
Woof, just trying to progress in the second set of floors (11+) seems like a big step up from before. Having to keep an eye out for enemies with shotguns/rifles/etc. makes it a bit more hectic.
Insurance revives you on the spot.

Seems like a great game from all of the things I'm reading here. Haven't gamed much in the past week so I'll download it tonight!
Not really no, if the only purpose of classes other than the collector is to push higher than the inventory is still too small to hold the healing/utility/weapons you'll need to push. It certainly isnt full of "F2P bullshit" but it seems pretty clear that the inventory is purposefully small, the expanded inventory is a major element of the express pass which is a key component of the games monetisation model. It doesnt bother me a huge amount but it is what it is.
Only noticed that earlier today
