I just received the DiscLauncher 12 deal. I’ve yet to use any DiscLauncher at all and wonder if the community thinks it’s worth the cash. I tend to like skillz-builds on quick mechs. Thanks for your input. Now if MA would release a Jav8 already. 😎  |

Pay attention...it's only 3 stars even though its a prototype weapon. I fell for it, slapped it on my KS and then realized that it's barely more powerful than my DL8. I don't really regret it though as now I'm using full EN on my KS and I'm sure I'll collect BPs for it eventually.

Any speculation what it’ll cost and at what level when released to the players? I could just get the DL8s now and wait for the 12s. Sometimes I consider frugality a virtue. Sometimes. |

I'm betting it's gonna cost a bunch of A-coins or credits. The DL8 was like 680k credits. So the DL12 will likely either be 900k credits or similar since it's only one gun, but then it'll likely be at 5 stars. I'm basing this on the Arc Torrent series. It was worth it for me cause I'd just spent all my credits and A-coins speed maxing my Panther, and now that my KS EN capacity is filled, I'm ok with just letting them level up organically while I learn the ins and outs of the weapon.
Interesting thing to note, the DL12 has a slightly slower RPM than the DL8. Enough that after a couple of rounds, they fire alternately, which is kinda cool.

The DL series is great in general bec of the auto-lock
PROS
- you can punish Reds while chasing down and back pedaling taking advantage of the disc arcs
- you can fire them at distances outside of lock (unlike JRs) and damage radius is decent (better than MRs)
- each disc packs a nice punch
CONS
- auto-lock feature takes getting used to. less 'sticky' than JR lock
- not a true burst weapon
- you can fire them at distances outside of lock. needs some getting used to.
If I were a betting man, I would guess the DL12 would cost 750k credits or 7,500 A-coins. This is based on how they priced the DL8s' 828k creds, which is almost the equivalent of the CB8s A-coins.
Since you mentioned quick mechs, I run DL12+MR8 on my KS and loving it. Pink Star KS dual wielding DL12s give me the hardest time. Even dual DL8s in the hands of a competent player makes me work really hard for the kill.
Since the release of DLs, I would rank dual DL12s up there as most annoying to battle against. Not as annoying as Dual RGs but still a semi competent Pink Ares with DDL12 makes me rush the other side of the map to hunt for easier prey.

I don't really regret it though as now I'm using full EN on my KS and I'm sure I'll collect BPs for it eventually. There’s the rub - collecting the BP’s. Even if you have the other resources to level it up, you can’t without the BP’s, which I know so far are as rare as hen’s teeth. They’re betting on people spending tons of resources to buy them. I’m not having any of it. This company is quickly sleazing its way into the trash bin with this latest round of trickery. |

Any idea how many Blueprints it will take to get it to 6-1? At 240 A-coins each it wont be cheap. I think the spread sheet doesn't have the Blueprint count starting at this level.

I got inpatient and bought the 5 star DL8's, 800,000+ credits. I had 4 prints and leveled it up twice. It definitely takes a bit of practice, and the 8's do not pack the punch but are fun. I thin the 5-1 12's will be sweet, but im not convinced that 3 star is the way to go. |

I could take DDL8 wielders down but the amount of HP they chip away from me, gives me a bad handicap if im facing other higher level Reds. Id rather try and take down a higher SP Red or farm AI than d*ck around with a competent/skillful lower SP Red. And yeah, I second that. DL12s 3*1 isnt really a good deal. Any Proto at that level would be a hard pass. Like Danny Linguini said, finding enough BPs to level that up will be pain in the bumbum. |

Well after reading this thread I went and bought DL12 and the upgrade pack. I levelled it to 4 star 1 and it will wait for more bps. Its stats seem comparable to a MR6 at present with a curveball going on. Will try it in a match in a little while.   |

But i do not regret it. Using them is requiring me to play less sloppy to stay alive, and i feel using them now is just practice for the 12's. Pretty sure im going to wait for them to make it to the progress path and pick up the full 5-1 version. |

Levelled it to 3 star 6 before running out of bps. Its good in tdm tournament today, even though its about the same as an MR8 as it stands, just a bit more damage.   |

Nice. Cloned MR12 on a maxed Zep will make me want to run that mech again.

Only asking because I’ve got a total of zero DL prints in either the 8 or 12 variety, and the same of MR12. I’m saving up resources to grab a DL12 whenever it hits the progress path, but at the rate I’m acquiring BP’s, I’m guessing I’ll have it cloned right around never. But for sure I’ll still be matched up against you people who have them maxed right out of the gate. |

I had to shell out cash for all 20 tokens (I got them in the store, not the 20 token deal that ppl are getting). I got it on the last spin  I didn't have to spend anymore to max it though. I had enough creds and a-coins to max it right off the bat. Ever since they leaked it in the achievements, I've been saving up all my tourney winnings, and only opening the bare minimum number of crates to complete tasks and replenish my daily tourney ticket quota. I've been really eagerly anticipating this weapon, hence my willingness to spend up front like this. The last time I dropped this much, it was to buy the RG early and accelerate getting the 2nd copy |

Zephyr with MR8s has done so well, couldn't wait for the higher version. Then I got it for free! Woot! Now the game is throwing ads at me for upgrade packs . Gawd, stop me now before I spend again! 😋 |
