Couple days is usual for AC:I? Damn. :odd:

Yep, every update has taken two days.


Edit: Wow, blink and you'll miss the monsters at Tokyo. They show up at the start of the second phase of the mission (following the emergency mission), you'll hear the little roar which lets you know they're there somewhere. First time I heard it I actually flew around the sea quickly but couldn't see anything. Second time I heard it I still didn't see anything until just as we S ranked the mission I saw the monster at long distance wandering in to the harbor. I'm pretty sure it doesn't show up on radar. So it's important to note that it's NOT mission critical.

It appeared inside the harbor area. Near the place where a fleet of enemy ships was evacuating.
You can't lock-on on the monster and it doesn't register a HIT when you shoot it. Before it hides it roars again.
 
Connections have actually gotten better for me ever since I got out of the beginner ranks :D

But now the frequency of hosts or teammates ragequitting have gotten significantly larger for me :banghead:
 
Godzilla is actually a huge letdown, I thought it was going to be a Special Raid or at least an Emergency Mission or something, the fact that it's just part of the scenery is retarded.
Anywho, got the Darken up to level 4 so far, it's ridiculously crap and cheap, but I want to ease the pain of using it to get the Spada skin.
 
Yeah, a Godzilla raid mission would have been great, rather than just a quick cameo. So far I haven't even seen him yet, just heard the roar once after an emergency objective. Wasted a little time flying around but I didn't see anything.

There's a challenge where you have to attack him with F-2A. It gets you some rewards :P

Yeah I know the challenge, but in the mission it doesn't mean a thing. BTW you'll be pleased to know I got the Espada skin on the J-35J.:sly: It didn't take me as long as I thought actually, the final challenge being to destroy 200 targets with it, I got really lucky with some lobbies where the other guys were all in Fighters at Pipeline, though I then found Avalon is good for it, so many low level one hit ground targets you just rack up the kill count.
Also, do you leave your Sony on in this game even when you aren't playing?
 
Yup, I do leave it on. And invites in this game are pointless, the room is usually full or the room is unavailable or doesn't exist even if I click it within seconds of the appearance..
 
So finally, I'm playing this game for the first time since having our router (and as it turns out, our cable) switched out and I'm so glad. No disconnects, no long loading times. Not sure it'll mean anything if I try GT6 but for this game, massive improvement already 👍
 
Whoooo!!! So I read about the Godzilla collaboration and after reading the post here, decided to get on and see. Got into a room and just as I joined, Mission changes to Tokyo. So I encounter the mission of destroying Meteorites (which hI don't recall before, must've been added) and right after doing that, I heard that oh so familiar Roar (which ironically after hearing "The Citizens can rest for now". rather timely, isn't it?). I look around and there it is. I'm stock shocked as I post this because I just shot the 🤬 out of Godzilla!! Kinda wished they would've made him use his powers and damge your plane, that would've really added to the thrill.
 
So I did one more mission before I logged off to see if I could find Mechagodzilla. I thought I would have to wait for the mission with the meteorites but I didn't as shortly after destroying the aces (in this case, the Su-27s with the missles including the one I have named "dubstep ace"), I heard a weird sound (kinda forgot its not the same as Godzilla) and there it was. Same spot but headed in a different direction (towards the bridge). I even got pictures :D

Well, I'm out of sortie fuels so here comes the 12 hour wait to play 3 times in a row.. :irked: :mad:

Same, which is why I logged off. I had to take a step back though and thought "Damn, did I really go through ten barrels of fuel that quick?"
 
Interesting that the deathmatch challenges ended a day before the deathmatches do. I wonder if that was intentional? Looks like top 1,000 is a possibility since nobody's playing it. I guess I'd rather have a level cap increase I'll never use over some research reports I'll never use... since there's no other way to get what the level cap increase gives you. Otherwise I'd probably just hunt Godzilla and take the 50 grand for top 3,000.

The mixing of special and [weak] normal planes was about as horrible as I expected though - made even worse by their silly decision to start the matching rates over at 1500 instead of just copying the old TDM MRs which would have spread things out a little. So not only were planes that required millions just to get to 1,000 cost mixed with planes that are nearly there at level 1... the people who've spent hundreds of dollars buying playtime as well as the people who've spent a year playing for free are all thrown right in with the people who picked up the game two weeks ago.

I think it's all combined to make people more likely to kick others out of rooms, too. I've certainly been getting kicked an awful lot any time my MR gets above 1510. Can't say as I blame people for it though, as any time I join a room above 1520 I'm lucky to score 1,000 points trying to chase all the 1,600+ cost planes with my level 9 MiG. Then again, when I join a room below 1500 I frequently terrorize the poor guys(even though they still often have at least slightly better planes than me). So I have about a 10-15point range for rooms I can hope to get a decent match with, and then there's usually a 1550 MR guy who scores 60,000 points on us anyway. :)

Hopefully this one will help sort that out for the next time... except for all the people who didn't participate.
 
I thought that the patch/update notes said the levelcap rose from 15 to 20 for normal planes..?
 
Question.

So there's the F-14A and the F-14D.
I currently have two challenges involving an F-14. Would both contribute to the challenge?

Do either of them specifically mention either version or just "F-14"? if its the latter, I would assume either would work (or at least, it should actually say that either should work in the description).

It's kind of confusing. One of the challenges is to get a skin for the F-14D, but the conditions are to use an F-14 for score. I suppose both can do.

Check well. If it says F-14A, then you have to use the A version, which is what it is asked in first challenge, second is destroy 50 targets with 4AAM (you can use ANY plane, even a F-22) and just third (last one) asks you to use a F-14D.
