first for irene

almost 20 thousand...
100k is still far, far away though
>>2193795
this could be very fun and I've been considering it for quite a bit - if we can reach a consensus on which server we host on and the general ruleset (one match to win? best of 3? switching builds/teams allowed?) we should be fine. All games won't even need to be hosted at the same time, so we can be much more flexible on that front.
I'm more than willing to organize start gathering data if enough anons are willing

>>2199306
About to go to sleep, but I'd join as well.
A /vst/ league sounds fun cause you barely find pvp matches anymore since Limit Break was introduced.
>if we can reach a consensus on which server we host on
If anons are fine with using different teams we could even play on multiple servers. I've got a team on the Asia server and another one on the EU server.

There's been a lot of discussion over the new character's SP types but I'm going to give my shot at guessing what some of the new advanced classes will play like and what masteries they will be able to use. Some of these classes were already in the code for AC but I'm too lazy to get that information so I could be verifiably wrong on many of these.

>Ari - Bard
I'm betting this will use the performance mechanic and can use musician/singer masteries.
Since her other class is hunter, being able to place traps and summon/unsummon beasts to get your desired performance effect when there are no enemies to target will make it easier to use than Leton's superstar.
If it's not a performance class, then I think it will just be a supportive class, having abilities that give de/buffs.

>Claudia - Astrologian
I think this will be shaman + scholar. She does seem like a bookish type which fits the scholar class and I can't really think of any other basic class that would combine with shaman to create an astrologian. I have no idea how it will compare to witch though.

>Tyra - Desperado
Contrary to ranger which is focused around cover, status effects, and responsive attacks, I think desperado will be about big single target damage to fit with the cowboy theme, maybe it will also focus on chain-killing and being exposed, being the sweeper equivalent for pistol users. None of the gunman advanced classes have secondary basic class masteries so I don't think this one will either.

(1/2)

>>2199409
cont.

>Lumi - Marksman
While marksman IRL are still long-range shooters, they operate at a much closer range than snipers, so I'm guessing this class will be suited for that. Instead of focusing on the sight mechanic like sniper does like being out of sight of the enemy, marksman will probably have more speed/AT reduction to make up for being unable to chain kill and being more vulnerable. Maybe it will also give bonuses to being in cover and using responsive attacks, like ranger but for sniper rifles. Since marksmen IRL often use assault (or battle) rifles as well as sniper rifles, maybe we'll see enemy marksmen using assault rifles to give more variety to that weapon type.

>Reed - Trickster
I think class might be thief + clown, giving us a character with a secondary performance effect (like Irene's martial artist), and being able to force enemies out of cover sounds like a cool use for a stealth character.

>Yuri - Red Mage
In Final Fantasy (which Troubleshooter obviously takes some inspiration from), red mages are a jack of all trades, being good at offensive (black) magic, supportive/healing (white) magic, and physical damage. I think the class will be elementalist + priest, giving a good mix of offensive and supportive ESP masteries, and priest fits with Yuri's spoonist background.

>Azul - Dragoon and Spear Magician
These will obviously be analogous to Great Swordsman and Magic Knight like for sword users, with Spear Magician being able to use elementalist masteries.

I saw somebody say that the sequel will have day 1 mod tools and I really hope one of those tools is something that converts OGRE model files into any other file type that can be used by other programs. Its the one tool I wish AC had before they started going all in on only working on the sequel.

>>2199456
BC is using Unreal 5 so anything that can read any of the formats UE5 uses should be able to let you rip or edit the models for BC.

>>2199463
I'll give it another go but when I tried everything under the sun to get the models to import into blender nothing was working. Something to do with the OGRE 2.0 model file types broke even the custom plugin for OGRE model files.

>>2199478
3D Model format handling is, was, and shall forever be, a fucking jungle of janky importers, partially-implemented functionality, and everyone halfassedly reverse engineering everyone else's proprietary formats. I once spent a day and a half hand editing an FBX file in Notepad++ because the exporter had fucked the animation timings and I couldn't find the setting to unfuck them.

Do not hold hope in your heart.

I love Misty!

>>2200302
lol its funny you say this because I can import everything except the .mesh files atm lol.

>>2200302
Everything is the will of spoonage...

>>2199317
nice
I know for a fact that at least 1 other anon and myself are up to participate.
With that being said, I ask the rest of the thread - would you be willing to participate in a friendly local tournament with other /vst/ anons?
If you said yes, then please answer the following questions:
>What server(s) do you have available teams on?
>If the most populated server among anons will NOT be the one your company is on, would you be willing to create a new company?
If we can get at least around 5 people on the same server, we can start going further with this, I think. We'll establish the rules further down the line if we can get past the initial number of participants threshold.

>>2202179
I am the anon mentioned, but posting anyway to show interest
I'm up for it
I have PVP-capable teams in NA, Europe and Asia already

>>2199409
>Ari - Bard
In the data for Abandoned Children, Bard is a class that inherits from Archer and Musician. You're almost certainly correct that it's a performance class. AC's data is inconclusive because only Dancer and Clown have performances implemented, and advanced classes inherit their performances from the base class instead of having them defined in their class data. That's how Cheche gets Clown performances as a Superstar.
>>Claudia - Astrologian
>I think this will be shaman + scholar.
In Abandoned Children it's a pure Shaman class, but they might change that. Scholar has some interesting overlap with Shaman so that'd be sick.
>Tyra - Desperado
>None of the gunman advanced classes have secondary basic class masteries so I don't think this one will either.
Hunter has Archer, it's just that there aren't any of their masteries in Abandoned Children. There's also Assassin which is Gunman + Thief.
I do think Desperado will be a pure Gunman advanced class, though. I'm pretty sure Bodyguard will be Fighter + Gunman, just based off of Roberto and Jean having sliding kicks and Marco having a bash attack for no reason.
>Lumi - Marksman
I wonder if they'll let Lumi just straight-up equip assault rifles? Gravis can apparently use greatswords despite not featuring in his concept art.
>Reed - Trickster
In AC Trickster is a tier 3 class that combines Rogue and Black Mage, so maybe Thief + Elementalist? We don't know if he has ESP though. Thief + Clown might be interesting depending on what Dandy makes for clown masteries. Faye looks like a MA so we'd have 3 different types of performances in the party.
>Yuri - Red Mage
In AC Red Mage is a tier 3 class with Magic Knight + Barbarian, so I think it'll be Elementalist + Warrior. Warrior has a focus on attack power, but it hasn't got any weapon-specific bonuses, and has masteries like Encourage that provide utility to the group. It also has overlapping base masteries with several other characters.

I agree about Azul

>>2202179
The anon you replied to here.
>Asia and EU
>No
I've just finished a playthrough that took me half a year; this game is too long to just bring another company to endgame levels to pvp lol.

Was "Auto Dodging Response" nerfed to make dealing with Destrons easier like Special Armor was?
The description of the base mastery implies that *all* responsive attacks are dodged, and the flavor text seems like an afterthought.
Replaying the game after 1-2 years really makes it noticeable how much easier Destrons (and Mungos too) have become.

>>2205390
Yeah it was, it used to be infinite dodges like Darkness Hunter, and Auto Suppressive Counterattack used to activate on misses as well as hits so the destrons would sit there and rape all your responsive attacking units as you missed over and over.

>>2205400
Knew that something was different lol, I definitely remember having a much harder time with both of the Dusk Companion violent cases of the first DLC.
Poor drones, my old builds must've suffered from those changes. Auto Re-Attack used to trigger on all responsive attacks too before.

>>2205412
>Auto Re-Attack used to trigger on all responsive attacks too before.
Yeah, they brought that back as a mastery set though so it's not gone gone, just delayed.

>>2205340
>Rogue and Black Mage
>Magic Knight + Barbarian
Can't even remember how these would go together, but the implication of ESP Barbarian Warriors is frightening.

>>2205446
With MK+Barb they'd be stacking up Curse of Sword as they Anger Strike their way around the map.

>>2205340
Interesting, is there an archive for the advanced classes somewhere?

>>2205565
I made a document a while back because I want to make a mod someday that implements them properly
https://pastebin.com/qFcUdrFd

>>2205617
Nice, thanks for posting.
I hope you'll share your progress if you get to it!

>>2205676
It is a very, very long way off anything concrete happening. Dandylion was right when they said it would take about 2 years of their development to implement them.
All up with 5 masteries per character per class there would be 130 new masteries to design + about as many sets if you restricted yourself to 5 sets per class per character, so you're looking at about 230 new things all up. I'm not insane enough to try to make new active skills, but that's of little comfort for the sheer amount of design it would take.

>>2205340
>I wonder if they'll let Lumi just straight-up equip assault rifles?
Her first concept art shows her using something that looks more like a designated marksman rifle than a sniper rifle (basically an assault rifle with a longer barrel and usually a larger caliber) almost like Dandy didn't want to commit solely sniper or assault rifles, so that could be true. Depending on the weapon models, Lumi could reuse animations for both types so it wouldn't be too much harder to implement.

>In AC Trickster is a tier 3 class that combines Rogue and Black Mage, so maybe Thief + Elementalist?
We could've gotten something like this for Misty instead of whatever ninja was... elementalist masteries are so much better than shaman ones.

>Elementalist + Warrior
That will probably play like a more offensively-oriented battlemage then, along with some supportive abilities. He's only been confirmed to use bangles but since 3/5 bangle users in AC could also use knuckles, he can probably use those too for more physical-focused red mage builds.

>>2205617

>>2205772
I feel like there also aren't enough mastery slots to make full use for 3 tiers of classes, even knowing that t3 classes will have more slots than tier 2. There would also be so many options to choose from that even the t3 specific masteries and sets would be competing for slots against 1-2 t2 class masteries and 2-4 t1 class masteries. There would probably need to be limit-break sized boards for all that, and it would be a balancing nightmare because there would be so many possibilities that inevitably some would end up completely gamebreaking.

>>2206234

Without including the additional slots from personal attributes and ESP, tier 1 classes have 18 slots and tier 2 classes have 25 slots. If this pattern was kept you'd get 7 more slots for tier 3 classes, for 32 class slots compared to 30 from Limit Break.
Personally I think being forced to specialise despite having a gorillion options is an upside rather than a downside. Every single build that currently works would still work, but you'd be able to take them in more specialised directions if you wanted to, and with 7 additional slots it wouldn't be hard to fit new class masteries.
>and it would be a balancing nightmare because there would be so many possibilities that inevitably some would end up completely gamebreaking.
Dandylion's never cared about that and the game is better for it. But it does raise the fact that such a mod would also need to include new maps or drastically redesigned enemies, otherwise there'd be nothing to use your broken builds against.
I probably wouldn't bother with maps or trying to balance regular enemies for tier 3 classes, I'd just modify the joint drill boards

>A Meme not to be Lost

>Knight of Meme

>Meme no Meme
>Unpredictable
This is a surprisingly fun build. Also I learned while making it that if you have Ironman in your build, assuming you're not breaking any other sets you can remove Muscle Armour and Solidity and stick Regular Exercise in instead. At max level and the ~4000 HP this build has, it works out to be identical max HP, around 200 armour lost, but 300 resistance and a Defence slot gained.

I love how Dororis have no fucking stats except crit, but haven't got any masteries that benefit from critting enemies. Such a well-designed beast. No wonder Dandy resorted to Poison Sac and Comradeship on the 60V ones.

Green lipstick haters, there is still hope

>>2206861
Alternatively they just slap Second Heart and Hibernation on 'em to make killing them a chore.
The biggest benefit of using a Dorori probably comes from Rainbow Dororis 'Hide' skill many chapters before Misty joins your party.

Dodoris also suck because the generics only have 2 evolutions so you don't even get to pick that many genes/instinct/training masteries for them.
At least the rainbow dodori has access to the funny Anne instinct mastery.

>>2206932
That's so good lmao.
It's exclusive to the Rainbow/Adventurer Dorori you can find in that one mission, right?

total pyromancer death

>>2206861
>>2206932
It's also dumb how half their masteries give them bonuses for being in an elevated position but they don't have access to the flight gene despite having wings. I guess that would be kinda broken though

>>2207011
>It's exclusive to the Rainbow/Adventurer Dorori you can find in that one mission, right?
99% sure that's the case. It's worth taming one anyways since one of the masteries you unlock by taming them is good for sleep builds.

>>2206932
They still get 3 stages of masteries like most other beasts so it doesn't rip them off that much besides not having a small variant to go through.

Awooo

Yoink
I'm gonna get the other one too

Nevermind, I'm full. I only "needed" the one, but it would have been nice to have a second for a free Draki King.

Banished Children is going to be so much fun with all the new monsters to tame and having taming unlocked practically at the start

>>2207016

>>2207029
Aren't Dororis based on those birds that cannot fly?

>>2207194
>>2207197
They unlock the same masteries as the regular Draki King and Baron, right?
I like their visual appearance, but the normal kind is so much better due to afflicting Fear instead of Blind.
Make sure to keep a free space for one more Golden Draki!
>>2207277
I like all of the concept art of new beasts so far.
Especially those buffalos.

>>2208551
Those should be all of the beasts released thus far.
What's your favorite kind? Granted we actually get all of them in the final game.

>>2208550
Those dorks are cute i hope we can tame them.

>>2208660
For me, it is him.

>>2208772
Yeah the afro walrus is a tier of its own.

>>2207558
>They unlock the same masteries as the regular Draki King and Baron, right?
No, they have a unique beast mastery at the end called Mutant DNA which is a +3 training point Ability mastery.

But the Mutant varieties have a Reveal aura

>>2209596

>>2210218
Revealed does, which it also inflicts on enemies. Halo doesn't break your own Darkness Hunter because it just removes the negative effects of night maps.

A near-perfect roll on Jeff's boots, too bad I'm way overleveled for them.

>>2208548
>don't talk to me or my son ever again

>>2210272

Using the Mutant Draki to remove the negative sight from night maps on a unit with Darkness Hunter lets you get some insane vision range

23 sight is pretty hard to show off well

>>2212420
>>2212468
Nice, you can see practically the entire map.
One of those sniper vantage points like Mert's spot in the White Tiger violent case would be amazing with this.

>Necromancer Bangles on all his mages for buff spam

Pretty much the only unit that gave me any difficulty was his Sion, who had cover bonds in all 4 slots and enough damage to kill my units.

and Kylie and Ray and the rest of the Chaos Brush girls...

>>2213211
>Egoist and Keyboard Warrior and Seeker of Enlightenment all at once
uhhhh

>>2213548
at that point they're losing slots to the human masteries, right?

>>2213548
I didn't even notice that. I should have checked the rest of his build more closely because that's some insane property limit. I've seen a few people run Giant Killer + Machine Hunter on Misty which are both 4-point Attack masteries, so maybe he's got something like that going on.

I wish machine hunter wasn't 4 TP. There's a lot of builds I would love to put it on just to have a way to deal with robots but never have the attack or total TP limit for it. It should be 3 TP, or maybe only +50% damage but 2 TP instead.

>>2213760
I feel like the 4 TP Human masteries are deliberately annoying to fit into builds because they'd be must-haves otherwise. There aren't many single-slot masteries that can compete with +100% damage, even if they are conditional on race / max HP.

>>2207189
Even though it's time consuming for not real good rewards I like the usage of the draki hatching mechanic to get special draki tames. The devs making intentional uses for what was probably originally an emergent mechanic shows a lot of care and passion. I hope there's more stuff like that in the sequel, although fags on the Steam forums would probably complain that they would have to do more grinding to 100% the game instead of just ignoring the obscure collectibles they don't need.

Hey anons, how is the English localization these days? I tried this game in like '22 or '23 but it was pornwha tier gigabad and I didn't get very far because of that.

>>2215957
A bunch of mastery descriptions are a bit better than they were, but I don't think the main story has been touched since then.

>>2215957
It's good.

>>2215957

not a single example of anyone saying "gigabad"

>>2216018
Thanks, yeah looking at the Steam reviews and some of the screenshots posted in here like >>2212744 it seems they're still at the same place they were at years ago, which makes me think it's not a priority. Guess I'll try again in 2028, maybe I'll know Korean by then.

>>2216332
kek

>>2215957
I only played it for the first time this year so I don't know how it developed but the story was perfectly fine
my sole criticism was a couple hard to understand mastery descriptions

Never had this happen before. I awoo'd the golden eggs, but none of the tameable hatchlings spawned. I even checked in the fog of war after taking the screenshot and nothing.

>>2215957
With modding tools it might be possible for the English-speaking Troubleshooter community to fix any translation issues left in the game.
Dandylion is just five Koreans who subsist entire off of instant noodles so I can't really fault them for not having a perfect English translation but the game is still playable and legible.

>>2217118
>>2216379
It's pretty easy to fix particularly bad lines, but improving the overall quality in any meaningful way is a really big task. There are 28863 lines of story-related dialogue and 24640 lines of system text (masteries, items, etc).
My first language is English (forma di Strayan) and I think it's generally pretty understandable as it is, especially before the first DLC. It uses 『』a lot, but most uses of them are concentrated in a few places throughout the game.

>>2217131
sick, thought i was the only strayan in here

Scary mega counter Irene. She also has With Full Heart and Full Strength.

>>2217378
It ended up actually being a meme in practice. I'm sure it works fine in PVE, but he didn't put any knockback immunity on it which is a big mistake for a counter build in PVP.

Ayy I got one this time

>>2216864
kek, bad RNG.

Is it just me or does it seem like certain characters and beasts level up slower than others? It seems like it takes a long time to get a draki to level 36 to evolve it and the DLC characters seem to take longer to get to 55/60 than the base game characters.

i think this is the highest I've went so far

including myself (who has a save on EU, but i'm willing to branch) this makes for (potentially) 5 anons. The most popular server options are Asia and EU. If the two anons with saves on NA and Asia only are up for making saves on EU, we can settle there. If not, I'll make a save on Asia but you'll have to give me anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month, i'm really busy with work most of the time, so I hope noone's in a rush

>>2217489
The experience needed for each level varies depending on race, but other than that it's probably just who you're using to kill units the most. Units that leech exp only get 1/3rd of the experience. There's also a lot of exp fuckery regarding the level of the unit you're killing enemies with compared to the recommended level of a mission.
If you want to level up fast, run high level maps and have your low level unit deal killing blows, even if you're not getting Perfects or Overkills it's still going to end up getting a fuckload of exp. I like to put Final Blow on my beasts to help with that.

Exp.xml from the game files which has the full list of how much exp you need to level certain things
https://pastebin.com/E5p9hn5L

>>2217517
Ah, the level difference things is probably what was making it seem like my units were leveling a lot slower. I was using 46v and later 50v to level my beasts/drones (and Misty) but since all the units I was killing shit with were 55 or 60 I was losing quite a bit of exp. A shame since I can't yet easily full clear violent cases past 50v without having also using a high level drone and beast.
I'll try using final blow from now on.

OK, I tried my hands at a chart to visualize the situation.
Anons 1 to 5 go from left to right in the order they responded to the original post.
The way I see it, our best options would be EU or Asia, but it's dependent on how willing each of you are to actually start a new company and get them ready for PVP.

>>2217503
>you'll have to give me anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month, i'm really busy with work most of the time, so I hope noone's in a rush
I don't think anyone's in a rush to do this, threads usually last months so it won't be forgotten that quickly.

>>2217555
thank you for the effort! Yeah I'm waiting on a response from the two anons - if the anon on NA wants to join in on the happening and if the anon on Asia has started on EU already or not. If he did, I'll just stay on EU and it'll make my life a bit easier. If not, I'll start on Asia this weekend.
Meanwhile I'll start thinking of potential ruleset variants and we'll put it to a poll afterwards (if it's cool with everybody else)

That sounds good to me. Maybe we can all agree on some restrictions beforehand, like not using Curse Anne (although that'd be fine with me). I think that any build has an intuitive enough counter build available.
>>2217716
Fair enough, just report back once you're ready or if you can't make it for unrelated reasons.

there are a lot of things I'd like input on in terms of how we do it, so I don't think simply making a post here and the rest replying to it will work for gathering data properly. I was thinking of maybe making a poll through google forms or something similar, but that might require a jewgle account and I'm not willing to subject anons to that. If there are better alternatives, let me know

Hear me out Troubleshooters. Small talent trees for every character in Banished Children instead of 1 individual mastery. Yay or nay?

NA anon here, I'll make a new company and start leveling it once we decide on what server to have the tourney on (EU or Asia). Hopefully we can get more people to join.

>i've started but i'm too employed to speedrun it - at least 100 hours gameplay to go, be about a month?
I think just breezing through the main story on the easiest difficulty to unlock all the stages then switching to hard/cruel to farm for stuff would be the quickest way to go about it. If you know what builds you're going to be using for PvP beforehand you can ignore collecting all the items, masteries, and beasts you don't need. I'm still expecting my leveling to take a couple weeks or longer, though.

I don't see why we couldn't just discuss all that in the thread, or alternatively through the in-game mail system if you need some verification.

Got the itch to replay this game. Started on Cruel/Challenge mode this time. The construction site mission where Irene goes on a solo rambo mission to ambush the spoonists is kicking my ass already. She already goes full jihad on the main spoonist force when i am still trying to clear my way through the guards that patrol around.

nevermind! The stars have aligned at last missing 1 chance to win lmao
2 darkstalker set pieces would take me to 403. Playing in different weather conditions would take me to 408.

How fast are her 36AT turns?!

Cruel's not designed to be enabled until after Jigsaw, so those early maps can be a bit unfair with it on.

It's fun to look at who's doing what in their free time
>Albus and Sion are playing an endless game of chess. Albus seems to be winning
>Irene is deep in autistic thought
>Anne and Bianca are ipad kids. Kylie is also on an ipad but I'm 99% sure she's actually doing something useful
>Heixing and Leton are bored to death
>Ray and Giselle are browsing on their laptops
>Alisa's reading a book
>Misty's playing her bing bing wahoo in public

>>2219203
so fast they might as well be 35 AT!
this also gives slightly bigger meme numbers

That map can be kinda hard even without difficulty modifiers, I wouldn't be surprised if most people struggled with it on their first playthrough especially since it's the first time you fight an enemy with a revival ability.

I agree, it gives them a lot of personality.
I figure that Leton is tired often because of frozen blood which is why it looks like he is sleeping.

What are the different difficulties like? Is hard a reasonable challenge or is it a minmax required slog?
