Aokiryu89 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Life is hard as a Merc. I told you about tacking those risks. Order Missions shouldn't be that bad though. What the heck were they doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hey Densuo, you aren't awesome, but you've got our backs! (I lawl'd when I saw that. but you're awesome to fly with). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaarock Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) People seem to be more eager to recruit me as a mercenary when I have a LW with only murakumos as the selected AC and ??? in the description Fun to mess around every once in a while. I've failed a couple times using it but my rank didn't go down from S, I guess its far harder to drop if you're high on the merc leaderboard (was #7 on PAL server) Edited March 31, 2012 by Zaarock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Tiger Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 only on stronghold is when you all have to wait on ready I have never had to wait on ready in any mission setup, be it intrusion or defense. You can always chill in workshop/assembly and just put together ACs and look at parts until your countdown timer starts. Once you're in a room the matchmaker has you queued. I distinctly remember starting quite a few defense missions as a merc on JP server while still being in the assembly menu. I think you're just experiencing a placebo effect.

Necron Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 So apparently people are trying to claim that teamkilling is a legitimate part of taking territory. Hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I guess it could be... if the intent is to lose territory. Hmm, they might be on to something there. Quick, call Green Flamingos! Tell them we need their territory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebbo Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) I like how the game handles having boosters on and off. loving how weight really really affects your maneuverability with boosters on. gives some actual value to turning them off at the right time to make a quick turn. I think From Soft really figured out a good combination of old and new here. I'm not a massive fan of all the visuals and general styling. I think some things are just overdone, like the blur effect when boosting on everything on screen. not a fan. even moving with boosters on makes all the nice crisp cool hud lines blurry messes. everything else though is good. I just hope the sales vs cost is enough that bamco will just keep the servers going for a good long while. because unfortunately if they decide to shut them down, it'll be like chromehounds, basically a worthless disc.

Densuo Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I feel MW Biped kneelers are viable as a diversionary tactic with the kneel weapon, gotta have a solid backup set and a spam weapon. Ironically I think Accursed hit the nail on the head though when he said the the Flash Rockets and my ability (or luck) to land them (and a token knee attack) allowed it all to work. I used a Laser Cannon/ rifle/flash rock/shotty/ straight H Howie. Running some 1v1 mock battles with Accursed bore some interesting results. I'm able to maintain a degree of good mobility. Of course in a full team battle it's a different story, but I think it still can produce some focused feedback. Loving those flash rockets. I must say Though I'm concerned that the flash rockets hitting a team mate would disable them? Overall I think i made some progress tonight. definitely some interesting and unexpected results in some cases apart from getting my face smashed on Alpine base. Good stuff fellas.

Artdeux Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Loving those flash rockets. I must say Though I'm concerned that the flash rockets hitting a team mate would disable them?Considering that things like gen/fcs/drive/recon jammers effect allies, my guess is that the flash rockets could blind an ally as well.

Accursed Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm always happy to render aid in testing new designs! That being said, I must admit I was quite surprised from the results of the MW kneeler tests tonight. I honestly wasn't expecting much out of it, regardless of who used it, and instead I found it to be pretty useful. I think it'd shine the most in a team scenario, but there are so many designs and styles for which that statement can be used. Nevertheless, it was really the flash rockets that made that particular design so potent. In terms of the testing for possible effect -vs- teammates, I'm inclined to say it like this: We should probably test it to find out for certain, and it should be a very quick test, we'll just need myself, you, and one other teammate. However I'm inclined to automatically think yes - the flash rockets can and would disable a friendly FCS just like an enemy one. Jammers don't differentiate between friend and foe, friendly-fire is on for all weapons in this game, so I'm banking that you could also accidentally hit an ally with FCS. That being said, just like with jammers, I'd be careful about use, or atleast let the teammates know what you're attempting so they don't go melee range on someone you're trying to flash-rocket for FCS disruption. Anyway, great matches and good times as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Shirt (Grayscale) Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I suddenly got kicked off the server. The update seems to be undergoing implementation now! Fucking update, I was repeatedly trying to painfully S mission 05 (the most recent one would have been an S if it weren't for the maintenance).

But hey, it's still a positive lots of stuff feels viable save for Large Missiles, Pistols and Railguns EDIT: hmmmmmm we could speed up missile via Overed Boost in 4th gen....

his1nightmare Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Wait what, the reset did NOTHING aside "repairing" 10k+ territories for you to farm? People still have all the territories they had before, if you want to conquest a 10k one you still have to pray that humans are willing at this very moment to risk it and overall not a single other thing has changed, alongside 1.03 still being jp-only?What kind of a Season 2 is this? Absolutely nothing was achieved, conquer is still absolutely nothing but looking at "Waiting // 3:00:00" and in the end, what is it now which forces us players to "come back"? gg namco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Can't blame Namco for lack of player presence. The waiting thing isn't a problem with the servers, it's lack of population. No, blame Namco (and more importantly, Sony) for not UPDATING with the season change... seriously, not even 1.02?! This stinks of AC4/FA all over again. Append: And now that I'm looking, I can see the angst over the 'new season'. They really didn't change anything. We still have our territories, our points, everything.

GodlyPerfection Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Just a heads up to you guys... most of the teams are moving to push for an AC4/FA style of community from now on. We are all shifting towards an open free battle focus. http://www.gamefaqs....core-v/62447536 Edited April 4, 2012 by GodlyPerfection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Light/White Heat Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sadly, with Bamco's horrendous support, I can see this game dying off in short order as players grow more and more frustrated. ACV uses a lot of new and interesting ideas that require a lot of effort and care in the execution of them, and considering Bamco's track record with caring for their consumer base and the treatment of their games themselves, they were the absolute wrong choice to make with publishing ACV.

Kaleidoscope Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah. There goes that idea for a team setup to run jammers. Back to the drawing board on that If you spam Jammers at choke points, such as the EN output or mobility ones, a sniper cannon user would love if some just stops because there EN won't recharge fast enough or they can't move out of the fast enough. I'm curious to how well the recon jammer one works because if they work well a level with crap loads of buildings would be an ambushers dream.
