Ok, so managed to get in the do the tutorials and run like two story missions, just to get a feel for things. Couple questions..
Do I have to do the single player content? I know it grants steel and such, and I assume I.. well, I dont know how to use steel yet. Do I get gear or something I have to have to be effective from the campaign? I hope not, because I already *really* like the combat, but the missions annoy me.
My MAIN focus will be 1v and 2v modes, does gear heavily effect these modes? Along with these passive skills I have unlocked during the first two story missions? Im treating this like a fighting game, and ideally, id like to keep an even playing field, so I'll grind out stat and gear and level stuff if I have too, but does it matter in 1 and 2v and is the benefit like a 'must' or just a small extra?
Finally, how do I GET gear? I assume I just play the campaign and multiplayer? And is there a particular multiplayer mode that levels/accumulates gear faster? Assuming its needed.. If its just cosmetic in 1 and 2v then I dont care and I'll just play my preferred modes.
