And that shit is what we call artificial R&D team level inflation, among other things

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48839083]And that shit is what we call artificial R&D team level inflation, among other things[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's pretty bullshit. I thought it was overkill leveling all my units up to 70+ but apparently not. I can't even develop the two that require level 71 R&D. Though on the flipside we can now find S+ soldiers on the field, so leveling up further shouldn't be too hard now. (Did I mention that some of these take 3+ hours to develop? :suicide:)

Damn, NVG for guards. That's going to be a bitch to deal with. I like [QUOTE=Crimor;48837137]Oh levels actually matter when it comes to detecting shit, guessing it's combat rank?[/QUOTE] Guard ranks (combat rank) are a huge deal in FOBs, aside from detection range, reflex time, accuracy and damage resistance, when low ranked soldiers spot something suspicious they'll veeeery slowly go over there to check it out, sometimes they won't even bother, while A++ ranks will run to check it out almost immediately. They also take cover more effectively during combat, from what I can tell

Why no hail MGR with stun grenades? I want complete broken ridiculousness, dammit.

So the servers on PC are down and I can't check for sure, but apparently there's claims that whether you were offline previously or not, now the game auto-logs in on start if possible. Which means unless they changed the optional factor around mission 20-21, it may be impossible to avoid FOBs now unless you flat out disallow MGS5 from connecting to the net at all. Still gotta test this later when the servers are up though.

Kinda miffed that there ain't more assault rifles. Was kinda hoping for an infinite suppressor assault rifle in the style of a VAL or that whatsface ar-15 variant.

Better start grinding for those precious metals

[QUOTE=Mbbird;48837830]So the devs for some reason saw how FOBs turned out and decided the best course of action would be to add an even more powerful GL. Cool. So the leftover devs don't play their own game. RIP the MGS brand.[/QUOTE] I would agree but to be fair now that the defender isn't getting notified unless you screw up it's kind of your fault if you end up having to deal with that. It's a stealth game after all As it is right now, someone who knows how to stealth FOBs can easily invade successfully all day long with no fears of repercussions. The AI is easy to exploit.

Beware the Box in MGO3. It instantly equips and unequips. Notably, you don't seem to have a sudden hitbox shift like in the previous MGO releases since if you're standing, it equips to you while standing unlike in singleplayer. However, popping out of the cardboard box for shooting is near-instant too, so..

Just gonna post it once more. There's a PS4 Facepunch MGO Community. Add me (Departing) or Taggart250 and look in our communities and request to join. Or reply with your PSN and I'll invite you.

They're saying that MGO3 maintenance will end around 10:00 AM GMT - which is an hour from now, give or take. Don't take this as absolute though.

I wonder, on PC have there actually been any kind of cheater punishment yet?

[QUOTE=Marden;48839285]I wonder, on PC have there actually been any kind of cheater punishment yet?[/QUOTE] There's been people saying that hackers running around and fucking people's shit up have gotten their saves reset entirely via being reported to Konami directly

Well server is down but at least I can see title screen of MGO. [editline]6th October 2015[/editline] Here's how it looks like: [T]https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/t31.0-8/12120106_859247544189988_4969667588309424174_o.jpg[/T] [T]https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/t31.0-8/12094796_859247540856655_3642645596580247539_o.jpg[/T]

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48839296]There's been people saying that hackers running around and fucking people's shit up have gotten their saves reset entirely via being reported to Konami directly[/QUOTE] That's a punishment? What if they have a backup of their save?

Damn, servers are up, but I still can't download the damn MGO data.

I was excited to see there's an online deployment that gives 200 haoma until I realized it takes 8 days to complete I guess it's better than the worthless ones we had before but geez Edit: Oh wow actually 25% success chance and 25% losses for a S+ Unit, fuck that Also they nerfed active decoys, don't make noise on FOBs anymore

Can you personally equip the new security NVGs?

[QUOTE=Paysus;48839478]Can you personally equip the new security NVGs?[/QUOTE] You always could equip the NVGs though?

[QUOTE=Paysus;48839478]Can you personally equip the new security NVGs?[/QUOTE] Considering they're the same as the regular NVGs.. yes?

[QUOTE=Shugo;48839065]Just checked myself: [B]Sniper Rifles[/B] AM MRS-73 NL ★7 [I](1491000 GMP, R&D Lv 69, [B]420 Digitalis Lutea[/B], 1680 Digitalis Purpurea)[/I] - Equippable by Security Team [/QUOTE] :v:

Is it still unavailable in North America?

Looks like there is no Host Migration in MGO and you'll get no exp when a host leaves at the result screen. Oh, and this: [url]http://wccftech.com/more-bad-news-for-metal-gear-online-pc-no-party-feature/[/url]

I played around with the new patch. Good stuff. One thing I think newcomers will be happy about is they made an effort to separate and show your local resources versus your online ones. You can still use your online resources for projects, but it's far clearer how much of it people can steal now.

Did the Snake Eater DLC go up yet? I'm still mad the tux isn't in the game and I want to fix that

I've downloaded MGO from the store but the game isn't recognizing that I have. Anybody else?

It's probably not there because there are many months until the PC version is released.

[QUOTE=Sokrates;48839683]lol, I don't think it's cut from the PC version. It's probably not there because there are many months until the PC version is released.[/QUOTE] It could be a clunky press releasey expression, but they specify that PC doesn't have it. I don't think they'd have to specify which platforms have it unless they were to cut it from PC.
