So according to 4gamer, May 28 EXVSFB is getting a version update as well as some new DLC!

 

Here is a quick writeup of the page:

 

 

May 28, 2015, Ver 1.08 Update

 

  1. New DLC units will be added: Full Armor Unicorn, Avalanche Exia, Char's Zaku II, and Sandrock. New Mission Mode missions will be added with them.
  2. GP Points have been added to the game (this is something that is used in the arcade version currently). GP can be acquired from playing Arcade (Online only), Ranked Match, and Player Match. The first time you login to one of those modes you will be given a 1 time/day login bonus. The amount of GP earned from a match will appear on the results screen following the end of a match. Apparently, by spending GP you are allowed to use DLC units you haven't purchased online (but only units from the first 8 DLC batches). Basically you are allowed to "test pilot" a suit by spending GP, and as long as you keep winning, you can keep using it. But if you lose, or if your connection is cut from a match, you will have to re-buy the license to play the units? GP can also be used to permanently acquire customization options such as gauges and player navis it seems.
  3. Room settings have been updated, adding an option to save or not save "war record" has been added to the settings.
  4. Custom messages have also been modified, adding an option to not receive custom messages - you will only receive HP status messages accompanied by some pilot phrases. Note that this will be the default setting after the update, and you will need to change it to receive messages if you want.
  5. You can now store up to 6 favorite MS (up from 3)
  6. You will now be able to see the deployment #, win #, win% of ALL MS from the Favorite menu (instead of just the 3 you had favorited)
  7. A new camera option was added to replays.
  8. Norn and ReGZ will receive adjustments:

 

Banshee Norn

  • Mobility decreased
  • HP 680→620 (EX accumulation rate increased accordingly)
  • 5Sub (MGaAP - "blue balls of death"): 1hit dmg 90→83 (full hit 149→138)
  • 4/6Sub (Anti-Air Missiles): 1hit dmg 35→30
  • [bC]: startup speed and chase performance both nerfed

ReGZ

Both Modes

  • HP 320→300 (EX accumulation rate increased accordingly)

BWS Mode

  • BWS automatically purges 5s sooner now
  • Mobility nerfed, particularly with regard to its altitude (the higher its altitude the lower its mobility)
  • Main: ammo 8→6, and main beam cannon's dmg 90→80
  • [AC] (BWS Purge): dmg 182→172

MS Mode

  • [AC] (Leg Grenade Launcher): 1hit dmg 76→71 (total 166→152)
  • [bC] (Dummy Balloons): reload +2s

 

 

Some other things

  • It says that Sandrock's Zero System is 1 use/deployment, but doesn't say anything about WZTV's being changed to that as well
  • Just reiterating, the uptime of Norn's Sub armaments hasn't been changed, the damage of two of them has just been nerfed some.
  • If somehow someone here still hasn't bought the game, the PS3 Best Of edition comes with a download code for Ex-S, as well as some Haro HUD swag and 100,000 GP (though it's been pointed out these are for use only in MB cabs). Tell your friends?

Regz probably isnt dead(Low A high B at absolute worst have to see how bad the mobility nerf is in person, purge still hurts and MS super is still strong even if it becomes the 1k ZZ), norn is probably low S or A tier, the HP nerf alone is going to make him a thousand times more bearable in shuffle regardless.  I really want to be able to reccomend norn as a noob suit as it doesnt really front for you so you get to learn good positioning and gets you to value freefall cancels.

Quick note about this: The Haro HUD/gauge/icon and 100,000 GP appears to be something you use with Maxi Boost unfortunately. Seems to also be only on preorders of physical copies. 

 

Aside from that, people have noted that Perfect Gundam is actually in one of the screenshots ( http://www.4gamer.net/games/233/G023336/20150430123/SS/025.jpg) so there may be more yet-unconfirmed units.

@akai_GO:

 

Some minor corrections:

 

-Note that GP can be used to permanently purchase Navi / HUD DLC (everything except suits is permanent basically)

-Re-GZ's MA mode mobility nerf actually says that the mobility reduction is RELATIVE to the height he's at, in the sense that his mobility goes down the higher he ascends.

-EX meter gain rate for Re-GZ / Norn was increased, they specified.

 

 

Its also worth noting that the new rerelease of EXVSFB console PS3 port is only 3800 yen guys! (physical OR downloadable). Get your friends to play :D

Ahh, that makes sense now that I go back and re-read it, thanks! And I'll reword the other things to better articulate those points.

Does anyone know how this Best version will affect playing online if I have a physical copy of Full Boost. Will I be able to play with people with the newer version, or would I have to buy the newer version?

The Best version is just packaged differently, the disc on the inside is the same. It's like buying a Greatest Hits game in North America.

Yup, the online pass is still required to play the game online.

Hey I didn't want to make a completely new thread so I'll ask here. Where will EVO be held for Gundam? The same area as the main EVO event or the hotel lobby? I'd hate to buy a ticket to LA and find out it was in California. :P

You mean the EVO side tournament for Gundam? It will be held during EVO in the BYOC area, which is usually in a ballroom adjacent from the main one.

I can only say it'll be in the BYOC area, and not much else. Assuming it's the same layout and location as last time, then yes, but otherwise it'll probably just be wherever BYOC is.

It's a different location this year (Bally's / Paris Las Vegas Casino). But I'm assuming the layout will be similar (BYOC area etc..).

Just posting a notice that if you go to the wiki the pages for the 4 DLC MS dropping today are all posted. They're...pretty much done, just missing one or two things that I needed to test/confirm in-game. There's like no combos or Burst values though, so if you feel so inclined as to add that data, please do.

Navis are 5000gp and HUDs are 2000, looks like you can't buy pilot costumes.

You get 100gp for entering the player match menu each day and I got around 1500 for playing 5 matches (4 losses because I don't know how to play this game ;_;)

1500 GP for losing??

 

Well that's a hell of a lot better than the rewards for playing a Heroes of the Storm match XD  I remember in the PV it showing piloting Kamille's Mk II as being 100,000 GP?? If you lost every single match it would take 67 matches to reach that amount, which, if you average 3 min/match, is 201 min (a little under 3.5 hrs) of play needed to take out a suit with GP.

er, 1500 total was after 5 matches. Each loss got me around 250 (I think one match was exactly 261 points).

6th tab on options menu

 

1st row is for custom coms.  First option is to allow custom com's, 2nd is for character quotes, last is off(forces default).

2nd row is post game custom coms.

 

3rd option is some auto update feature that we aren't really sure about yet?

That option says "Game Information Automatic Update Setting," and its option is "Automatic Refresh ON/OFF."

 

Interesting it doesn't say "Game Data" but "Game Information." I want to say it's for patches but... if it's not, what is 'game information'?

Yeah, that last thing has been in since the beginning, it's just automatic update. Like yesterday, if you had that setting set to "off", it wouldn't have automatically updated the game when you started it up, you have to go to maybe the catalog or something to trigger a dialogue to update the game? (this happened to me with last summer's update)
