    yeah you put in some work with that er0705 RJ. Id try a booster with better forward stats, especially if you're going to stick with a GL. Try latona. The best overall PA breaker option is an MG as they do a good job of pressuring targets to the ground, which is more important than PA attenuation outright due to GLs miserable hit rate. Motorcobra is the obvious standout but recoils enough to interrupt low firing stability arms, Hitman works well with low firing stability/precision. Outside of MGs your best bet is kamal, it isn't as user friendly but can knock down most shields in one hit at close range. before chat auto-booted me you mentioned replacing the sapla. Travers works but may be too heavy, you can't sacrifice too much internal performance (generator weight). If you can fit something like rifle/hitman+travers/0203 on an 8000+ mobility frame with lahire gen you're off to a good start. If doing so requires more than a few hundred weight tunes Id stick to sapla.

    Boosters: Lahire main and back have good QBs but inefficient regular boost. Since you have a standard OB you don't need a high powered main booster. With lahires movement cost on top of 20k drain you're a sitting duck. OB- nothing depends on over boost, use judith. 047- 051 and 063 are better. 067- you're better off with one of the 90+ melee ability lasers. 067 is good if you want to fight in the 500-700 range but so are others, which are more effective inside that range. 0203 and sapla are the better choices, yamaga is the worst GL. A GL is kinda pointless without a PA attenuator (MG, AA) to set it up. Bigsioux would benefit from the frames speed and performs similarly to a GL, compared to sapla reload is slower and it weighs more but you get twice the ammo and it works without altitude advantage. Id rework the weapon set to function better at close range. Assuming you have 0203 and a laser or any of the BFF rifles, you've got mid-range covered for a 1v1. If u wanna run a GL, drop the laser for a machine gun.
  3. Activity peaks during the weekend. There are quite a few people that play regularly, unfortunately most of them are japanese. That puts 99% of the pvp base online during the AM for me. Still, I usually find a room no problem in the morning-afternoon EST.
  4. 1. fuck LRJs. 2. Heat shot WA looks cool on tanks. The core looks awkward. The UW is awkward. The head is the only upper that goes well with the treads. Keep 93/D and the heat shot WA burn the rest. 3 very cool looking. It would look better with a different SR/PMG and something other than a KE shield. 4 I wish there was a shot of it from the right, and a down blouse... Clearly put some work into paint, the fade looks nice but somehow the black/blue/red doesn't jive to my tastes. IMO KT3N4 or one of the lighter HBPs look cooler with those uppers and weapons. 5 +1 for laurel. -1 for cycad... seidenbaum or zlatko imo. The paint meshes the legs/core but severn throws all off. It would look cooler with the pile equipped, and a recon jammer (a recon jammer would make it a better build too...) Fuck LRJs. 6. Thats bad mkay. 7. cool autos 8. +1 for the don. The WW2 fighter theme is awesome. The head is an interesting choice but could be better. Right arm looks great, stealth bomber on the left doesn't. Arms and UW look retarded top heavy no matter the zoom. With a different frame this would be #1, paint might be cute enough to earn a runner up spot on its own... but you've disrespected the don... 9. +2 for a proper don build. I really like the frame, the paint is ok but it would look better with more contrast between the main/base layers... the blue shade ends up looking kinda like camo and doesn't do anything to help the subdued decals pop. Shotguns and shields r a bad tho. That CMG is cool but not in the bay... My only point of contention is the core. I see what you are going for but again can't stand the i-beam arm receiver thingy ostara has going. 10. I really like the way the core/arm shape flows with the treads. Head part looks stupid. Wepons r dum. 11. THUNDERDOME!!!!! 12. This is a fucking work of art. Paint is intense. Not much else to say. The rifles are a safe bet but the left is really drab next to the frame and laser... 3BR always looks good on HBPs and would go well with the level of detail... Cercis would work... The right rifle is just an eyesore... anything could go there, a ke shield would be better or dual wield the blade. All things considered this is hands down my vote for #1. edit: the right digi-camo scheme might make the rifle less of a blank spot. 13. very cool looking but any tank looks dope with SC WA. I like the paint and the decals but they look unfinished.... I like what you've got going with the uppers but not so much on the treads. Chromeye doesn't look right on tanks, it goes well with the core but splits the build 50/50 curves/angular. Raiko would make it perfect. ABOVE ALL ELSE... -2 for no arm weapons. Laser and sniper cannons, or any cannons that fold, look wicked pisser badass. If it had proper back weapons and a less bipedal head it'd be a strong #2. 14. What do we say to RJs, Ninebreakers.... Actually I kinda like it.... The steez looks strong in this one. The arms are kinda awkward, but the paint makes them work and i like the green-purple-yellow. Sub in a 300/150 gat for one of the pmgs. The first gen double barrel CMG looks cooler... The head/core/legs go well together... If it doesn't ruin the paint use any of the lighter ce arms. Slotless or the KE mod ones... GET REKT FAGGOT Winnar: #1- 12 (Thtarthtalker UnDiNe) Honorable mention: #3 Pure Pure (stronk...) #8 R62 Manhattan #9 Testify (a contender...) #11 Thunderdome (THUNDERDOME!!!!) #13 Edelweiss II (in hindsight i put this one through the blender... you are forgiven the sin of bipedal head on tenk and awkward decal detail is outweighed by the whole....) #4 Signs unac... only for the sick fade bro. Albino Scum: #1 Ruhm #5 Empyrean #14 Brachydios Quads: green quad

    Laser Mid

    047 lancel argyros lancel er0705 avior mp0203 jadore BFF flares lahire FCS aaliyah/g latona main lahire back ortega side linstant ob EN output, arm mobility, EN skill, core/leg rectification, Side QB, OB, Turning, +42 arm rectification fucks shit up, doesn't get fucked up much.
  6. theres a couple of regulars that main tanks... ones kinda slow but never misses a QT, real pita to tangle with... the other is just flat out fast. What pisses me off is that vs. these two I do much better in CQC with my mid... I guess its because I'm relying on OB to close, and the mid is very energy efficient... and just to be clear i have no problems dodging missiles in that lightweight.. if its got energy to burn it can avoid just about anything shot from a slower build. I didn't word that very clearly in the OP, but i was talking about my mid weight, which runs WG arms, so no flares. Its only a problem when I get out positioned. ...or dragged to the desert to fight wheeling03+whatever and spread extensions.
  7. Can't second stage. Never have never will. If it weren't for the fact that I have stood by in horror, as a tank manages to outrun my LW, IN REVERSE, for years, I'd be happily oblivious to reality, in the prophesied fated SS aint ril club. Trying to make up for this, Ive been using a high capacity generator (2700 weight ga, I'm beginning to think this is retarded over a light weight gen) on a low drain lahire based DR build. Ive gotten a lot better with it, to the point that i can see why virtue is so hyped, but without second staging i end up forced to do A LOT of cover whoring. Like to the point that map changes are made lol... it sucks... Second staging tanks, or anything able to permafly, give it a bad time. I still haven't turned auto-sighting on and suspect this is part of the problem, i notice that no matter what angle i approach at, or how perfectly i time a point blank QT to rotate with the stationary target, I rarely get a bullet to land unless I'm squared off with the target, moving more or less directly at it (or ideally, I've already overtaken it, and manage to get the target to move directly towards me...). Because of this (not being able to "paint the corners") I often do better vs heavier targets with efficiency focused boosters and a mid weight... With the virtue lightweight I end up burning out energy early, i am sometimes able to get a good dig in but always forced to break off and start over before doing significant damage (by the time the MR102s break a tanks PA I'm out of energy or eating unfavorable trades). "good starting point is using holofernes sides and the best armor you can get without being too fat" "backpedaling wrecks the shit outta weebs" Ive done this. For that matter, I'm pretty sure i came up with one of the most noob-friendly ballistic builds ever.... But using it just isn't that much fun. I mean, it can be, especially when i have an equal or greater than opponent... but wins still end up feeling like a mathematically logical outcome or XYZ just let up when it couldve kept pressuring, stume lost track amidst the cqc glory, or, more often than not, fucker figures out that my build just chokes on missile spam without second stage efficiency. build: soluh head soluh core latona arms lahire legs virtue main lahire back schedar side linstant ob mr102s, GA gen, an fcs... "if hes on xbl hes probly jst gettin troled by dat $100 bounty weeb" nigga i been to xbl, i fought dat weeb. I built an entire AC to make sure such things NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN... ​I'm trying to CQC against those legendary japanese players. The ones that are too fucking badass to even be around most of the time, and completely uninterested in proving the legitimacy of one cult following or another. The ones that second stage the entire match...
  8. awhile ago someone was throwing around the idea of a RvB meets AC machinima, but nothing came of it.
  9. i get a better weeb fix from MG5's mech buddy than frontmission...
  10. this thred was so huretful till i posited c: That is fucking retarded. From is not bungie. The Japanese People have true honor. this is similar to my LR reboot paranoia... IT COULD HAPPEN.... but anyways, no. Armored Core has always pushed combat mechanics and controls well beyond contemporary standards. I doubt they're going to release a game with badass physics/controls and an RPG-caliber single player. The game you are suggesting would be stepping all over gundam/mechwarrior. triple edit baby...: "Miyazaki has said in interviews that he wants to explore the Sci-fi and mech genres with something new. That's why I don't think it's likely to see a proper AC6 but instead a reboot that is closer to the Dark Souls style of gameplay and story." Lets think about this... Sci-fi and mech genres.... new... something... more than most franchises, every fucking game in the AC series has been not only Sci-fi and mech genres, but more often than not, something new. Without getting into the groundbreaking early generations, 4th and 5th generation Armored Core have fucking defined sci-fi, mech genes and pretty ladybots. That quote does not lend any strength to your interpretation of it. Miyazaki just Belichicked u RILLY hard. TLDR ARMORED CORE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE UNDERAPRECIATED MASTERPIECE THAT IS IS. IS. IS!!!! 4th edit... otoh, they do release AC6 with a single player element that puts it on par with dark souls. But it still handles like armored core, and has a separate, easy to access multiplayer.... AND THEY FOCUS ON 1v1s (obviously... this is what made dark souls great, at least for me) instead of teams like a feygits.... and then AC benefits from the popularity of the dark souls fan base, and I have "AAA release" newbs to slaughter all day ery day and life is good. I do not see your point. It is pessimistic.
  11. They're approaching critical mass for market saturation within the "medieval 3rd person hack/slash/cast pseudo-RPG" genre. If from were in bad shape it could happen, but given the amount of success they've experienced in the last 5 years from will make money off of any new release, however botched. Economically, the scene is still set for a new/different game. I think the franchise will return as a proper AC title, borrowing heavily from 3rd gen (that modernized interpretation of LR people often talk about), or pickup somewhere around 4-5th gen story/mechanics. They RILLY need to cover there bases with a stable, freshish multiplayer. 5th gen has had a lot of good multiplayer concepts executed poorly. The souls series focuses so heavily on scene/setting that it can basically get by on single player alone.. AC cannot, its got to go head to head with all the tard-magnet FPS modern/future games. The biggest issue of the last two games was region lock. The biggest issue of 4th gen was lag... Hopefully consoles/connections have advanced enough to support a game that surpasses 5th gen connection quality. I think this has been a major limitation to the series and will likely be a determining factor in when we see the next release, and how hardcore it turns out to be.
  12. NO. NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO.
