Eternal Core Forum

I had a chance to try PvP for the first time with some East Coast and Midwest friends. It was a blast! I only have NG+ parts, so I can attest that a good fighting ship can be built without having the whole set of parts unlocked. I used a midweight with Gridwalker boosters and good refresh, allowing for some long flights and aerial hijinks. HD-033M VERRILL 07-061 MIND ALPHA AR-012 MELANDER C3 LG-013 MELANDER C3 BC-0200 GRIDWALKER FCS-G2/P05 VP-20C MA-J-200 RANSETSU-RF VP-66LR VVC-70PM BML-G2/P03MLT-06 The G2/P05 FCS struggles with long range targeting, just the stats say it should. I'm not sure it's the best solution here, but this kit uses every last kilogram of available weight, so there's no room to change it out for anything heavier (and only heavier ones would really work, really only the IB-C03F: WLT 001 at that). Tons of fun. It didn't feel like the old days of Armored Core, though the experience definitely calls back to that. Balance still seems up in the air, and given that the first patch openly stated that PvP balancing is still in the oven, much is likely to change. Either way, AC human VS is alive and well, and the netcode felt really solid too (a welcome change from prior editions).

Well it seems sometimes it doesn't pay to pre-order I guess. I pre ordered AC6's collectors edition from Bandai. It seems there was some kind of a delay and the game hasn't even shipped yet, heck I haven't even been charged yet. I reached out to support and asked for a download key and the initial response was to pund sand - nicely. I asked again and explained my situation and she was kind enough to escalate me. Happy to report that Bandai reconsidered and provided me a digital code to download the game, should be able to play it tonight. So for those in the same boat there is hope. I took the 'nice' approach and it paid off.

Wow - After watching the live stream yesterday I am more hyped than ever for the game. The 3 vs 3 gameplay was absolutely stunning in my mind. You had the classic YouTube trolls knocking the graphics, but I thought it looked stellar. One of my takeaways though what that Quads and Tanks are going to be spectacular. The torso part of the Tanks being able to rotate really looked to help with turn radius and target tracking. I think I will start with a biped heavy as a nod to my old school AC Longshot haha. Just for old times sakes. Another thing that I thought was really cool was that at one point during ther Vs play the announcer talked about during the PS and PS2 generation he had no idea there was a cohesive vs scene out there. He mentioned stumbling across a Yahoo group that worked to match up players which resulted in him joining a Mid West RNNC. I wonder somewhat selfishly if that page was the old school raven locater that used to be on Geocities and was the first version of AC-X. He didn't come out and say it but would sure be cool if it was. Just a fun thought. Anyhow super excited for the game, can't wait. After watching the 'young guys' play it's clear I won't be super competitive but I am sure am looking forward to trying my had at it!
