capmalachi Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'll probably try this out once or twice when I eventually get the game, but I'll likely leave it alone for the most part. Because I actually suck at this game. Cool that's in for people who want it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Toast Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Online battles, sign me up. I liked them in FE12 and they'll be even better here. And icy toast, you can have my friend code. My team is still pretty low level at the moment, but we can battles sometime. It's 0361-9662-7803. Added you! My team is probably even lower than yours, since playing around with the online features has been keeping me from progressing through the main game. :P If you'd like we could do a couple of trial battles tomorrow, just to get the hang of it and experiment with things!

SageOfAnys Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Online battles that don't sound broken or boring? Sweet! Maybe I can finally play with my friend since we couldn't in Awakening because of how far apart we lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MostAncientOnes Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well hopefully Counter and Galeforce got nerfed or removed, because those two would be obnoxious in live multiplayer. If every team was just that, I wouldn't be playing this for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If every team was just that, I wouldn't be playing this for very long. We know galeforce only works if you attack alone. You can't be using guard or attack stance. I don't think counter has been nerfed though, its the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Well make sure to have a ranged Unit in your team, but damn I think everyone will equip counter on their character! Yeah. I think counter is going to become the MVP skill for this. Plus, there's Magic Counter. 3 guesses as to what that does...

IceBrand Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just imagine how broken these teams will be! Also how will they match players? What if one teams has max stats units while the other might be half way in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chastlily Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I can't wait for "1v1 no kamui or galeforce scrub" invitations for the MP. On a more serious tone, I'm quite happy with that! I'd love to see the Mire tome from Fire Emblem: Awakening come back so I could make a team full of Mire tomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohopeSTF Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I wonder how the balance will work out since Hoshido people can grind while those in Nohr can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Toast Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) ^I unfortunately can't record directly from my 3DS, but if you just want to see some footage as proof that the feature exists I guess I could point a camera at my screen and record (part of) an online battle, if that works for you.On another note, I've taken a closer look at the My Castle maps and my initial assumptions about the buillding bonuses turned out to be incorrect. The building bonuses don't apply for either player, so in online battles the buildings are simply obstacles. I'm also still not really sure how the game decides who gets to select a map. I'd really appreciate if someone else who owns the game could help me experiment with it for a bit. :D Edited June 25, 2015 by Icy Toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hoshido players are gonna wreck us Nohr players. Grinding, man. Yeah that would be a big concern unless they only allow Nohr players to play other Nohr players or allow grinding in the post game to solve this. I'm actually really suprised they put in online PvP since they seemed to focus everything on the main single player game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I came by earlier, but just wanted to say thanks for the info : D it's weird how Nintendo never alluded to it and even have it listed as 1-player in their press releases. I noticed the multiplayer files in the script dump, but I didn't know if they were used. Perhaps the multiplayer was going to be DLC, but they decided to have it unlocked at the last moment?

Alright then, here you go. I had to cut off the video after 5 minutes because my phone ran out of memory. ^^; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APH0t0AqEgo (Please don't share the vid anywhere outside of this thread, because the quality is awkardly low in all kinds of ways.)

I noticed the multiplayer files in the script dump, but I didn't know if they were used. Perhaps the multiplayer was going to be DLC, but they decided to have it unlocked at the last moment? Yes, it definitely is weird, and to be honest it had me confused a bit at first. And it still has me confused, because I've tried this quite a few times now, and I don't understand why it keeps letting me select the map each time. At first I thought it was because my team was weaker than the opposing team, but now that I've made some more progress in the main game that isn't always the case. Still hoping someone here with a copy of the game will help me figure this out. Edited June 25, 2015 by Icy Toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyW001 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 ^^Much thanks. looks promising!I can see myself being extremely frustrated with this Multiplayer (chances are, a good 75% of the time im going to get my ass kicked).

Icy Toast Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks to Thane's help I've now had the opportunity to try a friend list battle, so in case anyone's interested: In a battle with someone on your friend list the following settings can be configured by the host (the player who connected first): - Map - Handicap on/off (still not sure what exactly this does) - Stat limitations (don't remember the exact wording on this one) on/off (presumably eliminates the effect of Eternal Seals) - Starting positions: normal / random (when we tried random on a My Castle map our units spawned all around the perimeter of the castle) - Time limit per turn: 3 / 5 / 10 minutes The last two options only seem to be available for friend list matches (and presumably local matches).

PapaDragon Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'd love to know what the Handicap and Stat limitations actually do. Are the effects of stat boosters and eternal proofs/eternal seals temporarily rolled back? Do they put a hard cap to normalize everyone's units? Basically, my main point of curiosity is if this is designed to get rid of advantages just from items like seals and boosters, or if it will also negate the whims of the RNG Goddess (praise be).

Do they put a hard cap to normalize everyone's units?It's difficult to tell since most people queuing for random battles right now don't have fully leveled teams yet, and neither do I. Once I get to the point where I can use eternal seals on my own units I'll make sure to give it a try and see what exactly the stat limitations do!

Sylphid Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 This is a long-term thing, but I'm hoping there will be enough interest for a multiplayer tournament/competition once Fates is globally released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
