Iguazubros...
>>22903077>IguazubrosThese don't exist. Nobody likes Iguazu, at best they think his VA did a good job. Iguazu is inherently unlikable. He's an asshole with no actual motivations to hate Raven and yet he has such a massive hate boner that he submits himself to a hivemind and -still- loses. He doesn't do a single cool thing in the entire story. The reveal that Iguazu was the final boss is ALWAYS met with:>What the fuck? Why?Or:>LMAOThere is no in-between. No other reaction. Iguazu is a little bitch and nobody likes little bitches unless they happen to be female and in that case you are probably a coomer. Also before some contrarian shitposter says:>I-I like Iguazuwu owo;;No you don't and you know it.

>>22903329Why hatefuck Snail when you could fuckhate Snail?
I haven't bought the 30MM kits but does anyone know if you can take, say, Nightfall's Ashmead and place it on Steel Haze's arm? I want to get the chainsaw from Milk Tooth and put it on the eventual Loader 4.
>>22903361Base 30MM kits are supposed to all be interchangable. I'd assume that the AC specific ones would be too, even if just between each other. And speaking of 30MM kits, any chances that any rj builds get one? Like Mind Beta, Deadsled or I can't remember any other npc rj AC?
>>22903403>Mind BetaMind Gamma, I mean.
>>22903415Pater
>>22903290Boys make the best girls, one way or the other.
>>22903290I'm so fucking sick of not getting Maeterlinck porn. I don't want goddamn r63 Snail or Rusty. Give me the big booty visor girl.
>>22903500Reaching ever new height ofs comedy, eh, Kevin?
>>22903046So is the first boss, the giant helicopter, supposed to be a callback to Darksouls' first boss? Just in the sense you are really not prepared to fight it and it is challenging to fight.I know I suck, but I seem to die at least once every time I replay it.
>>22903231So this is the power of human augmentation...
>>22903046https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2j3dFJn-X4Freud antis btfo'd, he is the strongest AC pilot on Rubicon besides the player.
damn i tried last raven with a fresh save thinking "i've beat it years ago shouldn't be too hard" and got my ass beatwho thought part break was a good idea anyway
>>22903499>Expecting porn It is a miracle AllMind has gotten all that art with, and based on a fan art designs because you know, AI with no real body, so dont push your luck.
>>22903616Only certain routes are "viable" for a fresh save.I remember Jacko route being easy.
>>22903111I can't believe they vaporized both of hsi VA's in the booth with a laser rifle just to get that scream, really committed to the role.
>>22903580I think it's supposed to be a callback to gen5 Stork helicopters.
>>22903653I really love those helicopter designs, I was lowkey expecting to see 6 having an allied carrier just like V had Rosary and VD Fatman, but I guess Walter and alien waifu arent so bad.
>>22903580Actually it can be seen as a multilayered Fromsoft-ism, as while the use of a boss fight as a pop quiz to check if you know your fundamentals is very in line with Souls, the whole mission itself is a riff on the classic Raven certification exam that oldgen games would start with.
>>22903646right, maybe jumping on bolt without a proper booster and optional parts wasn't a good idea wasn't a good idea
>>22903662Owari wa fatuman~
>>22903653intermeshing rotors are so sexy.
>>22903231I don't know how to feel about a female Snail.
>>22903745Did you know some species of snail are hermaphrodites?
>>22903752Clever.
>>22903752arn't most if not all of the land snails hermaphrodite?it's the sea snails for that most part that arn't if i remember well
>>22903745Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzPKgTuRwbs
>>22903646Yeah I believe it was either Jack-O or the Leviathan route that's good for a fresh save.
>>22903580>you are really not prepared to fight it and it is challenging to fight.Wrong as fuck. Just play aggressively and spam your blade and it folds like laundry.
>>22903762Could be, land molluscs get kinda weird with it overall.Like how leopard slugs like to get their dicks all twisted together while suspended in midair on a thread of mucus. Absolute /d/egeneracy.
>>22903646Why did they mate such an important character into a jobber in both games he's in?
>>22903918Ravens don't need to be strong to be important. They've done this time and again, Malzel in ACFA comes to mind. He has low AMS compatibility and thus low strength in combat but he contributed to ORCA in other ways.
>>22903231>teases snail femdom milking for like 2 pages>rest of the doujin is actually just femRusty and other randoms getting raped
>>22903918Jack-O is based because he's not that strong. When you show up his AC is already heavily damaged and he knows he can't beat you, but he fights you anyway knowing he will die and be remembered as a raven. It's kino, not everyone needs to be fucking Zinaida.
>>22903997>guys, is being a beta cuck actually the most alpha Chad gamer move?
What are the themes of each AC games story
>>22903752Now you got my attention.
>>22903938>>22903997Wasn't he #1 in Nexus arena? And he's a complete joke there as well, without any damage. And you'd imagine he's strong enough to be #1
>>22904022Most snails are hermaphrodites, they literally have a swordfight with their dicks and the winner inseminatea the loaer. Yes, this means beating snail geta you breeding rights. Be careful with this information.
>>22904096kinothis is the type of info which will be utterly useless to me but which I will still remember vividly in 35+ years, thanks for the biology lesson snailscholar
>>22904090He’s the fifth.
>>22904090He's meant to be this oldschool veteran Raven type so devs gave him Karasawa. Problem is Karasawa was severely nerfed in Nexus and still not that good in LR, that's his problem.
>>22903355i already fuckhate snail
>>22904096>Yes, this means beating snail geta you breeding rights.
>>22904096>>22904192So THAT was the one last plan. Once 621 pulls snail out of the snailteus wreck...Arquebus WILL have the superior pilots, even if he has to carry them to term
>>22903058Any interest in an ac6 lobby to pvp with each other?
Are any of the chest items in AC6 worth grabbing on Ng+? Just finished for the first time and I didn't realize there even were chests until I was doing the depths exploration missions.
>>22904253a few parts fit into a few builds, not that i use many of these to be fairnow you need all of them for the 100% completion
>>22904253Outside of OCELLUS, not really. The WRECKER parts are almost all worthless, the chainsaw sucks, the flamethrower is niche, NEBULA is okay but mediocre post-nerf and the EPHEMERA parts only work on specific builds. MOONLIGHT is also mediocre and the AURORA while pretty just sucks. That's all of 'em to my memory.
is there a better build benchmark than S ranking Attack the Refueling Base and Underground Exploration - Depth 2
>>22904313Not sure about benchmarking but I tend to test my builds on Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship.
>>22904313That's not even a remotely good benchmark, the fuck?
>>22904313>attack the refueling basethis just makes you put buerzel on every build>depth 2you can scrap through the S-rank for this pretty easily by just playing fast (skip kills, spend the majority of the level ABing)
>>22904215Be strong Snail. Be strong for Arquebus
>>22904106Here'a another fun fact. This "duel" often consists of shooting "live darts" at each other,which baaically promotes the target to become submiaaive and breedable. And Snail is known for his use of the stun needle...
>>22904288Coral missile and coral shield.
The transfujos have found 4th gen.
>>22904470>used sneedle on snailteus first time
>>22904472
>>22904471Both of those are also mediocre in the current time game. Used to be stupid good but nowadays? Perfectly skippable.
>>22904503Back from your vacation in Silent Hill already, 621?
>>22904503he looks like that dumbass from that mouthwash game
Replayed the Gen 1 games. A lot easier than I remembered.
>>22904720Everything is easy when you either use>sawa>H+>quad legsOr some combo of the above.
>>22904734NTA but I used a LW biped with a pulse gun, had an easier time than ac2.
>>22904744>inb4 nothingburger
>>22904742AC2 is genuinely difficult without sawa or H+. AC2AA being even worse to a pretty big extreme. Most weapons suck hot ass in gen 2.
>>22904744Any idea when they might make it official?

>>22904999Defend the dam.
>>22904744>oct 24th (today)where patch?
>>22905009In 15 minutes.
>>22904764I think it was a few months between the changes and the Elden Ring announcement but it's been long enough I'm not sure.
>>22904734I was enjoying using RJs and mixing up my weapons a bit. I found the large missiles really good in gen 1. They wiped the floor with Nineball Seraph.
>>22905011to be fair im still clearing patch zero up to ng+ so it doesn't mean much to me yet. still if its actually dlc i know what im getting for Christmas.
I keep thinking about the yamamura quote where he says "6 is about reacting to enemy behavior instead of optimizing hit chances"We all know this doesn't work with pvp because fromsoft netcode lol, but wouldn't it be fixed if they switched to defender sided instead attacker sided netcode?You can actually react to stuff now.
>>22905037makes you wonder what all the 5g towers were for if the internets overall speed is still dogshit.like no one thinks to improve the underlying architecture its the same shit from the 80s.
>>22905038Game lag is less about hardware and more about software. Fromsoft is notoriously bad at it
>>22905037the simple fact that disconnecting don't result in a loss for the one that disconnect like any other pvp game realy show they didn't put much thought in it
>>22905047I mean how network code has to be positions and vectors and the rest is sort of strung back together on the clients side and its all unsynced, because everything still runs on telephone wire, not the bad netcode situation although I understand its duct taped together like every game is. I remember miracle resonance did not work on ps3 for example.
>>22905077Me when I fucking lie
i just killed Bolt in last raven, should i expect the rest of the game to be this hard?
>>22905111nah
>>22905037Defender-sided netcode means that you'll be able to dodge every heavy-hitter with 100% consistency, so the only weapons that aren't purely a "are you awake" reaction check will weapons that fire faster than you can chain dodges, which will also then be the only weapons capable of dealing damage.For the record, while hit detection is attacker-sided (except for missiles), damage is defender-sided. If you parry a laggy attack at the correct timing (from your perspective), you still parry it. So if you want defender-favoured reactive gameplay you can literally still experience that by equipping a parry shield and learning the timing. It doesn't actually change much, because the problem with AC6 netcode isn't about whether or not you can reliably nullify damage on reaction but the fact that pvp is a damage race where the only thing you can do to increase your damage output is move into your ideal range and mash the triggers.
>>22905111You ain't seen shit until you've fought rimjob.
>>22905136Rimjob isn't that bad, he runs out of ammo in 2 seconds and then you just dodge his slow af missiles. Only problem in that mission is having enough ammo to kill both. Oh, and going out of bounds or getting stuck in the secenery, worst fucking map in the game
>>22905062Sure but compare to something like COD where you've got tons of players in a single lobby and you get accurate hit detection down to fractions of a second while playing people from another continent. Meanwhile fromsoft gamea have teleport soam and seconss worth of lag even with good ping
>>22905144All of that together I lump under the Rimjob experience. If you can get past him it's smooth sailing for much of LR but he's a brick wall for progression if you shitbuild.
>>22905209I'd consider all the missions with unmanned weapons a oot harder. There's the one where you have to fight an AC in a bunker and then come out to a Pulverizer. There's the various Pulverizer final bosses with hitscan lasers. There'a Zinaida of course. Granted, most of these are endgame missions. Was the guy with the antenna head fought in the desert in a storm of suicide drones in Nexus or LR?
>>22904999Eliminate "Cinder" Carla, Destroy the Drive Block, Coral Release
>>22903610>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2j3dFJn-X4looking at the footage just makes me think transformed xylem looks like an incredibly fun arena to fight in
>>22905267To put things into perspective, I'd much rather fight multiple pulverizers myself.They didn't peeve me off the way Rimfire would.
>>22905293coral release is the only remotely challenging in theseimo the missions with the AA22 are more difficult by a wide margin
>>22905267>Was the guy with the antenna head fought in the desert in a storm of suicide drones in Nexus or LR?LR.
>>22905304What fucking planet are you from where AA22 is harder than Snailteus? The Enforcer is one of the easiest bosses in the entire game.
>>22905316AA22 is heavy cavalry, AAP03 is Enforceri do find enforcer harder than snailteus as well anywaysnailteus is more a build check than a skill check
>>22905323>AA22 is heavy cavalryThat's even easier than both, what the fuck?>snailteus is more a build check than a skill checkWow almost like we were talking about missions that are build benchmarks or something. Crazy!
>>22905329>HC>easy
>>22905329If we're talking skillchecks then the dodging orbital lasers + ojneapple boss mission is the hardest build check in the game. Assuming you don't abuse checkpoints of course
>i share this thread with pilots that think any of the heavy cavalry fights are hardeliminate the enforcement squads made me feel something for a brief second because it was a no-checkpoint mission but that's about itthe melee HC has easily readable swingsthe laser rifle HC has cover you can use whenever it charges up its attacksthe plasma rifle HC has a slow projectile chargeup attack and even has an intro animation you could use to lay into him with bazookas or whatever>>22905339it's at least more of a build check than a skill check since the sea spider isn't hard to hit once you have weapons with adequate DPSyou can get around the orbital lasers with movement tech though
>>22905334Yes? And? I'm very confused as to how you can consider it anything but easy. I'm not even flexing, I murder that thing faster than any other boss in the game. I'm genuinely incredibly confused.>>22905339We are talking about build benchmarks primarily. Are you even reading man? Also:>dodging the orbital lasersDude there's a route that avoids them altogether outside of maybe a couple seconds of being within range of them and at most that's one hit.
>>22905334low AMS moment.
>>22905347i'll argue that skill/build checks are tied as your skill expression is tied in part to your use of movement and quickboost which are tied to your build
>>22905348>he actually spent the time jumping on the monkey bars below the bridge
>>22905389>His build can't just AB along the bottom of the bridge and has to jump along the bars like a no-EN peasantYou failed the benchmark, congratulations.
>>22905395You can redline or kick also.
is it me or EO core in LR arn't as good as in NX?and i would be better off using a core with hangers and have some fenrir or other hight power bullshit to swap out after using all it's ammo?
>>22905395better, i can AB shuffle my way through the top of the bridge so that the laser's targeting is thrown off
>>22905404Why would I waste time with that when I can just continuously AB along the bottom all the way to the end?
>>22905406if you're not a coward
ITT
>>22905420the only legitimately hard fight in the game is allguazu
>>22905418This sounds like cope bro
>>22905430>allguazu>hardHAHA
>>22905430You had trouble with Iguana?
>>22905433>>22905434well, it was the only fight i used repair kits for
>>22905442Bait used to be believable.
>>22905420The only "hard" fight in DS1 ia O&S and maaaybe 4k since it's a dps check. Oh and Manus & Artorias ofc
>>22905480>biggie and smalls>hardHonestly I would give it to Capra precisely because of how fucked it is that you're fighting in a tiny room and some asshole dog can fuck your day up, you get little time to process what's going on and next thing you know you're dead.But fatboy and slim? If they're your first time fighting a 2v1 in a real time action videogame sure they're hard, but they've never made my ass clench quite as tightly as the thought of fighting Agni and Rudra's 2nd phase in DMC3. Both of them and the entire archetype of 2v1 rely on the same acquired skill set though: pay attention to the guy you -aren't- attacking, because they're the one that's gonna ruin your day. In fact that's the same thing going on with Carla in 6 come to think of it.
>>22905430this but unironically
>>22905515>In fact that's the same thing going on with Carla in 6 come to think of it.just don't fight in the center of the arena
>>22905420i don't think there's much that top AC2AA's nineball seraph
>>22905403They aren't but i use them occasionally despite no secondary lock on. The machinegun ones are good for a close range dogfighting build against ACs, the energy ones can work but they're more suited to cleaning up slower MTs and only when you don't need to boost around too much.It's usually better to get a core without eo/ob and spend the extra weight on hangar weapons, those cores have better base stats either way
>>22905530I always beelined for Stick on the upper floor, actually.
>>22905568you missed out on stick jumping down to the lower floor like a wrestling cage match
>>22905544"Do you know how to use OB" skillcheck fight, you had over 100 missions to get good at that mechanic.
>>22905430>>22905520I unironically find Snailteus the hardest boss in the game. Not hard, mind you, on every attempt these days I usually down him in 1-2 tries, 3 if I'm having a rough go, but that's saying something considering I can do every other boss in one attempt 99% of the time including Allguazu. This is also without cheese of course.>>22905442You really expect people to believe you did every boss in one try without repair kits or cheese? Come on dude.
>>22905636i played the whole game without using repair kits, expansions, checkpoints, hardlock
>>22905641And you did every boss in one try? Yeah okay and I bet you are also a billionaire and fuck 40 bitches per day and have a 14.69 inch penis.
>>22905602>Human PLUS shitteryou didn't beat the game
>>22905669NTA but he never once mentioned H+, you good lil bro?
>>22905672only Human PLUS homo would think that AA Seraph is just press OB to win fight
>>22905602i can beat nineball seraph without moving, just need a tank with every missile and the quickturn extension
>>22905681First of all>Shitting on H+Way to out yourself as a zoomer. Secondly AA Seraph is easy even without it.
>>22905697>cheesed the game on easy mode>then acts like authorityway to out yourself as a shitter
>>22905644obviously not in one try, you have to learn the game firstthe intro mission heli took me 5 tries because i was configuring the controls
>>22905697>appeal to authority fallacyno self respecting man resorted to H+
>>22905771>>22905700You will never be real AC fans. Back in the day we all used H+ because it was cool as shit. Shitting on it for being "easy mode" is dark souls zoomer secondary mentality, go back to your containment thread on /vg/.
>>22905825you're not fooling anyone tourist
>>22905831no he's right, if you had been on AC forums way back when you'd know there was zero criticism around using human plus for PVE content
>>22905037Previous games already didn't work with the netcode. So many weapons were useless in ACFA simply because of latency.
>>22905890Yeah, as babies telling babies how to cheeseH+ is, was, and forever will be a failure mechanic.
>>22906042You will never fit in here, stop trying.
>>22905825>'""""real AC fans""""" could only play the game on easy modeoh no no no
>>22906209You are genuinely illiterate. It wasn't encouraged or mandatory, it was just there. Some people got H+ because it made the game more fun for them, others didn't. The bottom line is nobody gave a shit how others played AC. You retards out yourselves as soulsbaby zoomers every time you spout this shit.
>>22905681Is you your bulid really that much of a drainlord, or you don't actually know how to use ob?
>>22906256Probably a little of both columns since he outted himself as someone who just picked the series up a year ago at most.
So how are heavier tetras and tanks supposed to approach the final bosses? I have no trouble when piloting a biped or RJ, but with everything else, I eat every hit and die like a bitch.
>>22906271Use all your EN to get close and damage/stagger race.
>>22906230>"I just play easy mode for fun hehe"sure sure>>22906256my initial build definitely was, changed to a lightweight with better cooling, that did the job
>>22906198"YoU WiLl NeVer Fit In HeRe" unlike you, AC 6 wasn't my first game kiddobut go off, keep cryin'
My first AC game was Electrosphere.
Honestly before AC6 dropped I was excited for the new blood this franchise was going to get, but all we've gotten is insufferable zoomers spouting dark souls memes. Very few are actually cool/chill or genuinely care about these games.
my first ac game was revelation.
>>22906308
>>22906308Same thing happened when elden ring released. It was a lot of peoples first fromsoft game and now the series is infested with newfags and normies
My first AC game was AC7
Anyone wanna have a ac6 pvp lobby?
>>22906312>arab name>brown femboy from Metaphor avatarh-hot
>>22906308I don't know how you can be "excited for new blood" unless you've never seen an influx of new blood before. You do get some cool people, but it's almost entirely the insufferable ones every single time.
>>22906342>unless you've never seen an influx of new blood beforeThis may be the key phrase here.
>>22906342>unless you've never seen an influx of new blood beforeI haven't really. See >>22906351 basically every franchise I enjoy is incredibly niche. Or was niche, anyway.
>>22906312>AC6>ꜱoyuls
>>22906401Anon, that's the joke
>>22905162>Sure but compare to something like COD where you've got tons of players in a single lobby and you get accurate hit detection>in cod, accurate hit detectionlmao in what world, shooters lag out and "miss" when you didn't all the time, I stopped playing battlefield because exactly that happened in Vs demo to me with an LMG vs a pistol.anyway I got a new illness last night and im not in the mood for a tech talk now.>>22906304my first armored core was armored core (ps1)
>>22906616>another double melee BASHO arms bunker buildWowee so cool and unique
>>22906616The PvP in this game is retarded. Lmao Whoever thought adding a hardlock was a good thing?
>>22906620As someone who plays ranked a lot, double melee basho bunker is actually pretty rare.
>>22906639Well it worked for Virtual On!
>>22906639Works for gundam versus.
>>22906639hardlock can work for pvp mech games, see gundam versus.It's just that combat in 6 is designed around bosses first and foremost.

Am I missing something about long range in AC6? It feels pretty short range to me.
>>22906801It is short range. Actual long-range combat only exists with missiles for some goddamn reason
>>22906801Ricochet system. Doesn't apply to missiles, also bazookas, grenade launchers and Truenos have relatively long ranges.
my first AC was AC2 and i didn't knew you could get H+ untill there was a part for it in AC3 after finishing it which i didn't use because i did just fine without it before
>>22906647>It's just that combat in 6 is designed around bosses first and foremost.Then why there's no online coop mode tackling online bosses? Or even a regular campaign coop mode like in 4A? Going against souped up versions of the regular bosses or online only super bosses with a crew, like in VD, sounds quite fun.Imagine PCA operated version of Strider with multiple laser eyes fully covering the area around it and a full garrison of HCs an LCs, with players either having to neutralize multiple specific points to disable the shields to beat the eyes upfront or having the option to topple the whole thing by focusing (and by that I mean actual team effort, not just one guy with a piledriver like in the base mission) on the joints in the legs and between segments. The players start a bit further too, so actually getting to the Strider would be an ordeal in itself.
>>22906817Aren't you a cool guy. Keep your chin up.
>>22906814truenos do bounce, just not at a range where they're likely to hit anyways.that's true of most the ballistic weapons thanks to the buffs
>>22906831Massive missed opportunity with that especially with how many fights have friendly npcs. Hopefully it will be in whatever expansion they do.
>>22906817I had no idea about H+ until after my playthrough of gen 1.
>>22907067>I had no idea until after>AC1 mentions H+ by name>Missions where you go and find the remains of H+ patient in old laboratory and later learn Murakumo didn't invent H+>Mission where you go put down a mad H+ patient
>>22907250Don't ask me how I didn't figure that those ACs were not normal back then. I didn't pay attention to the briefings (or your mail) at the time.
>So buddy, who needs you?KINO
>>22907286I feel like the only person who didn't like Rusty. Or rather, I didn't dislike him, but I didn't feel any strong attachment to him. His self righteousness only makes him more fun to crush. >You just flew out of reach... buddyNow THAT was kino
>>22907286>>22907358>feeling any sort of attachment to characters (targets)Am I missing something here? Is this one of those 'human condition' things?
>>22907386Kind of. I think characterization is very important for enemies. Ultimately, all video games are about clicking on pixels, but what's really going on is that you're buying into a fantasy. Even a little bit of characterization, like a few voice lines, is important for establishing that you're killing a person with their own hopes and dreams.
>>22907386this pilot feels too small, somehow.
>>22907467It's just a trick of perspective, I wouldn't worry about it. I think so too.
>>22906324bump
>>22907358I'm a sucker for good opening lines. Snail and Raven had great ones too but I like Rusty's more.
>>22907599But would you be able to guess the correct amount of need for words?
>>22907670Haven't seen that one yet, still early on in the third new game
>>22907671Oh, you don't know. Oh well, when you'll know, you'll know.
Anyone make any new emblems?
>be me, AC6 babby>want to use the 30MM kits to build my own AC (picrel)>firmenza core & spring chicken legs are only used by a couple RLF glub shittos and fucking Coldcall>ducketts aren't even part of any named characters' builds at alljust kill me now bros, these Oriental toy companies taunt me with their ponzi schemes and empty promises and I can't take it anymore
>>22907750coldcall is the only spring chicken build, actually. at least in terms of non-data pilots.
>>22907690I've only ever made two emblems that were more than a few shapes thrown together in a half-assed manner.
>>22907784the gradient work is awesome on this
>>22907750You'll probably get a base frame set at some point. As for ducketts, they're 100% doing weapon packs
>>22907690Nice textures and reflection in the bottom half.
Started playing AC2 recently. Went through the arena before doing any missions. I hope there's more weapons that just aren't available yet. Not much to work with as it is.
>>22908011take the bazooka-pill.
>>22908011honestly you've made a mistake, do a small part of the arena fights to get some early money and use the rest to test out every new weapon/part
Kinda surprised that AC6 still has as many players as it does, I expected it to be forgotten by now.
>>22908014Yeah the bazooka was getting me through the arena fairly easy until I switched to a GL quad set up.>>22908016Yes, that would have been better, but I wanted to see how far I could go. Didn't really expect to hit rank 1 so easy when the first fights were slow and unrewarding. The money snowballs, I guess.
>>22908217On sale + ranked pvp mode and coop mod.
Do any of you have an AC model kit?
>>22908240i pre-ordered the nineball one but it nasn't arrived yet
>>22908240nha, it's a pain to import and there's no AC that interest me beside 2nd or 3rd gen ones that arn't produced anymore
>>22908240I don't have enough of a workspace to put one together, especially if gluing is involved.I don't even have enough space to display it either.I don't know if that changed but the import fees to the 2.5th world country I live in were high enough to be worth another kit by themselves a few years back.I'd like to get some someday but what use is some decorative plastic?I guess I'll stick to playing the games, games are fun.
>>22908240Not yet
>>22907422Ayre tanked that
>>22908240got it last week
>>22908467How is it? As fragile as it looks?
>>22908504its a modern bandai kit, you literally cant be better than this
>>22903046Any wizened oldfriends have tips about Nexus? Just started it
>>22908511You could mostly wing it in missions/arenas with a new build in the older games but use the AC test often to see if you don't overheat with your internals(radiator/booster/generator), you should look for a balance so both your energy recharges and heat dissipates at a similar rate
>>22908511Using parts in missions means they sell back for less. If you want to test new parts, test them in the training room since it won't count them as being used.
>>22908511Don't bother trying to use energy weapons. Also don't use boosters that overheat too much.
>>22908511Tune your boosters to produce less heat, going for the highest output gen isn't the play anymore.
>>22908504No, Fragile is from 3rd gen
>>22908511>>22908569Heat Reference(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 -600 VERY HOT(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 -300 HOT(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 -150 WARM(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 BASELINE TEMP(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 +150 COOL(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 +300 COLD(BoosterHeat + CalorificValue)*2 +600 VERY COLD`
>>22908570>Fragile>3rd genHaha, Anonymous No.22908570, you jokester.
>>22908510Those legs just look delicate to me. Idk what quality materials Bandai uses for the kits but I'd hazard a guess that they're better than Kotobukiya's, at least when it comes to AC kits.
>>22908610B-But it's true though!
>>22907750I was considering doing the same, but then I decided against it once I realized I'd have to buy at least half a dozen kits to get all the parts I need.
How do I dodge the iguazu swipes? I've gone into that phase at least eleven times now and I just can't figure out the right way to deal with them.
>>22908693I'm not the best person to ask because I use a 370+ thrust build.I just run directly away from him for the first 2 swipes of the combo, then assault boost directly under him for the last 2 swipes.Alternatively you can just stagger him. He takes a shitload of stagger buildup in his last phase.
>>22908703Any weapons you recommend for staggering? My Zimmermans aren't quite doing it and I'm not certain if it's a skill issue or not.
>>22908713I'm a dual Etsujin elitist.Here's MASTER BLASTER if you wanna copy me.
>>22908721I wanted to make a snide remark regarding the paintjob but it honestly doesn't look terrible, especially given the theme you're going with. Though I think that melee builds really suffer aesthetically with the Basho arms holding hegemony over the Melee Specialization.
>>22908743You don't like MASTER BLASTER? I was really proud of him. It wasn't easy getting those rivets in his leg to be green.
>>22908763>You don't like MASTER BLASTER?Eh, it's alright.>It wasn't easy getting those rivets in his leg to be green.Well, I don't find that particularly riveting t b h.
>>22908777I made MASTER BLASTER over the course of my challenge playthrough. It went pretty well.
>>22908850i don't find drive block or coral convergence hard, or even hard to S rank at all, especially if you use some pilebunker
>>22908850Did you ever upload that? Seems like some good material for food television.
>>22908887I didn't, no.They're all devoid of music and I don't know how to edit videos.
>>22908890>devoid of musicDevoid of music or of all the sound whatsoever? I wouldn't mind just no music, barely even registered it in 6 and, aside from dicking around in free missions, I did two full playthroughs.
>>22908721Thanks. I swapped to etsujins, the Nacht legs and those laser drones. Got him after another 10 tries.
What did you people think of yesterday’s JP Master of Arena tournament?
>>22908909Didn't know there was one
>>22908897Just music and other sounds. I was going to edit funny stuff.
>>22908721I was going to give you shit because it looks like a NERF toy, and then I looked closer. Good job, thouhh I'd tone down the saturation a couple notches
>>22908909oh, did YOU show up?
>>22908988He hosted it.
I would've liked a route where you lose to Raven and are forced to eject with Raven taking their license back. Then Walter has to solo plan an assassination for another used license before he can set up jobs through Allmind again.
>>22909065could probably have a G13 licence made tho
>>22909067Forced to take only Balam missions in return
>>22909071is this the true balam route?
Arquebussy route
>>22908540>>22908544>>22908559>>22908569>>22908574Wow, thank you all, especially the anon kind enough to make that chart. I’ll definitely keep the boosters in mind, I’ve already ran a mission with a high output booster and spend about half of it waddling around with no energy so lesson learned. Shame about the lasers being bad, I found a shotgun that fits my weight class that I think I like. The TTK was high but right now every fucking thing I kill has a high TTK so who knows.
>>22909065Why was such an important merc using shitty orbiter parts anyways? They're even stated to be shit in-universe. Guy had enough resources to have a head part custom-made but never thpight of buying real parts for the reat of his AC?
>>22909169it looks cool
Is going all in on the firearm energy specialization stat worth all the hassle? My gut instinct is that it is but I've never actually tested it... I want to run laser pistol and lance with the 150 specialization generator and at that EN load I can only use the RRI cores and that Schnieder one which isn't fun.
>>22909169Allmind-chan is watching the parts shop
>>22909184>lance >with the 150 specialization generatorI'm pretty sure that the generator energy specialization stat only scales with just energy shootbanging weapons, so melee and missiles don't benefit from it.
>>22909184The only Laser Lance build I'm aware of is Laser Lance + Coral Rifle. (not the super one HAL uses, the normal one that is a reskinned Plasma Rifle)The build is to wear down stagger, then switch to Coral Rifle and begin charging.Then you charged Laser Lance into them, finishing the stagger and immediately shotgun blast with the charged coral rifle in their face. Each blast sent out by coral rifle is its own damage source, so letting it loose point blank is a free kablooey with Coral damage.
Is there a way to shorten the cooldown of melee weapons? I've been thinking about making an oldgen inspired build but the way weapon cooldown works in this game makes using a singular melee weapon the way I want (so single slash jumping between the mobs) kind of unreliable.
>>22909250Not to my knowledgeBut if you want a low cd, use the laser knife.
>>22909184>>22909199consider using the P04 booster with the lance because it has the 3rd most efficient melee en consumption, you don’t really need attack thrust with the lance, and the en efficient QBs make the most of what’s left of your en bar after a lance thrust.
>>22909169The orbiter parents aren’t terrible really. Also them and the shade eye are all made by Carla, so chances are Raven prime and probably Branch by extension had a relationship to Overseer.
Were the corps actually on Rubicon or were those all just Allmind clones?
>>22909776Fighting unpiloted ACs was usually called out, like against EPHEMERA.The logical conclusion is that the ones that when they had pilots they didn't say anything.
>>22909780Markson's was never mentioned as unpiloted though
>>22909782We only met Kate once, and that was before we had Brainwife.Ayre was the one who called out pilotless ACs.
>>22903616I started up a new save and did Zinaida's route, I just milked the arena, which is pretty easy and gives tons of cash, till I could trick out my AC then I fucked up every mission.An arena-less run would be hell on earth though.
>>22909776They were there. Allminds plans date from before the events of the game but they required coral harvesting equipment, conflict and a refreshable supply of coral gen augmented humans. Letting Balam and Arquebus touch down was a necessary step.
>>22909169The only truely irredeemable part of Loader 4 is Joso. The rest is good enough, and considering Raven picked the only gen with less EN than Joso, Orbiter frame's light EN load has some synergy.
>>22909190I thought Raven worked for her
>>22909927Raven's Operator would behave differently if she were Allmind I think
>>22909960Not directly I mean, but the whole "suddenly decided to let all the corpos into the planet for no apparent reason" reeks of Allmind wanting to stir shit up leading to Coral Reelase.

>>22910912no, it's an original mecha by an armored core artist i follow
>>22911251Pretty cool. Usually heayv bipeds look pretty ugly but this is a good design. Still mad all the heavies in AC6 are fuck ugly
Why did no one tell me the normal laser rifles were actually good? I just used them and they're like laser ransetsus
>>22911344i told since the 1.0 that laser rifles where great but everyone focused too much on stagger, they even got nerfed along the way

Ah, so this is where all the Ravens hang out. Haven't been here since acg on vg. Glad to see there is still a community here. With that said: Walter is best, anyone who sides with the rubiconian parasite or the artificial stupidity is a traitor, moron and/or generally not cool.
>>22911408I'd normally agree but I have a severe weakness for the artificial stupidity.

It's been a year. What went wrong with AC6's pvp?
>>22911484>maps too big>no missile defences like flares despite being a thing in the game for pca>disconnecting doesn't result in a loss for the disconected
>>22911484>shotguns not just good but OP>this leads to everyone making cunty builds to counter it (laserboat, missileboat/rat, rifle kites, 1-combo nuke, sh*eldfaggots)
>>22911484It wasn't designed for pvp in the first place.
>>22911541They would have had coop built-in if that were the case
>>22911484hardlock and stagger
>>22911484No LAN party option and the threats of violence that come with playing in the same physical space.See, the pvp is fine in Japan because you can just take a train ride to the guy who beat you and kick their ass in retaliation.
>>22911628I can't imagine the average japanese mecha weaboo to actually leve his home, let alone exert any type of physical force on another living thing larger than an insect.
Am I missing something about mission replays? S-ranks seem too easy. There's an S+ or something, right?
>>22911698S ranks are finnicky. They don't explicitly tell you exactly how you're scored.
>>22911698No, it is in fact quite easy to get the highest rank. I often think to myself: "That certainly wasn't S-Rank worthy, I did much better last time." only to get S anyways.

Why do they keep buffing hokushi wtf?!

>>22912555yeah it was already the best generalist generator and now they're plugging its weak points lolVP-20C becoming more and more useless for every patch
>>22912554Why even bother pushing out """balance adjustments""" when pvp mode is an afterthought? Is this supposed to be some shareholder's nephew """working""" at Bamco?
>>22912627My theory is that 6's ranked mode is a "testing ground" for balance changes leading up to 6.5.
>decreased weight on plasma missiles of all things>when full-nacht builds have already been using it to run away the whole game and cheese matches with proxy det splash damagei think the game is over
make sure to put the new patch notes in the next thread OP if you're baking
>>22912727They want to promote that type of playstyle, didn't you get the hint when they nerfed EVERY cqc lw bulid to the fucking ground?
>>22912749Why even have give so many different melee options in the first place if they're going to make the unviable?
>>22912554My beloved duckets... No...This can't be real...
>>22912755Because they didn't consider the inevitable interaction with the stun mechanic when they were designing the game.
