Armored Core 6
You beat the game.
>haldeman adjustment
HOLY SHIT YE-
>nerfed for no fricking reason
That's it, I'm uninstalling.
for no fricking reason
shotguns are for generating stagger, they shouldn't be able to both generate stagger and also capitalize big damage off of it
Even the Haldeman has a two second reload bro.
The SPAS-12 is complete dogshit.
>single player balance patch
>no way of opting out beside pirating the game
>muh single player
balance matters way more in single player games than multiplayer games
This, this it. The most braindead moronic take on all of Ganker.
troony spotted
anon, someone stuck a mirror to your face
The dumbest man alive
you are right, unironically
I'm sure you could just disable updates for that specific game until you beat it
If you want to launch the game, steam demands the update. The only way to get around it is to disconnect from the internet.
All Steam allows you to do is prevent it from updating automatically, but it'll still try to update every time you launch the game.
sad you don't have friends to pvp with
>digital cuck doesn't know about physical copies
no one is moronic enough to buy physical copies on PC in 2023 anon be real
>pctroony thinks his opinion matters
Go play with cheaters and trainer users.
Soon digital only will be the future for console too.
its over anon. only way out is suicide. do it.
Here we go again.
If you S ranked before todays patch, you didn't beat the game
Technically you can still prove you beat the game by screenshotting every new S-rank. I think it would be a nice feature for them to allow regulations to be chosen for singleplayer again and also track which regulation you were on when ranking missions. That's a whole lot of extra content; acing every single mission on every single regulation.
>more handgun rounds
gentlemen, it is time
It was way too low even in a PVP match, thank god
Still waiting for rifles to get a buff to effective range. Not even to add powercreep, just so that they are effective outside of kikaku melee zimmerman-butthole-brainlet range.
>handguns are so strong and now they actually have ammo
real frickin nice
Yes very good
I know handguns had low ammo but how the frick are people actually running out of it? I cleared NG++ with a dual handgun build and never ran out. Only got close on missions that have resupplies but the resupply kinda made that not mater.
>ricochets at 80 meters
So this game is objectively GOTY now right? They fixed the flaws.
Just needs cross platform share codes.
Frick no, they did frick all to assault boost and kicks.
Uhhh, they literally did.
>Kicks nerfed for every leg except RJs
>Kicks on quads got their range reduced
>Assault boost nerfed for heavy weight builds
>Decreased Impact reduction effect during Assault Boost
Oh shit, I missed it. Looking good so far. Kick could use a CD since it's still spammable.
>So this game is objectively GOTY now right? They fixed the flaws.
if they revert the nerfs to bosses, yes. otherwise no.
lame, I still haven't gotten my 100% because I got burned the frick out on playing the game 3 FRICKING times in a row without the missions I have to repeat THREE fricking times recording a score, meaning I have to complete them minimum FOUR FRICKING TIMES.
moronic game.
first AC I ever played and I was able to beat NG+ in one sitting, and NG++ in one sitting, both on weekday nights.
have you considered getting good at the game instead of whining, moronzoomerkin?
all you zigger songbirds do is whine
AC6 is easy. Old AC was harder but not in a good way. It was low budget niche autism nippon jank.
What was jank about it? It plays smoothly enough, the cost cutting was in re-using assets.
It's weird they don't limit nerfs to the pvp modes alone like they do in ER.
they didn't do that for ER until like, this year
>~25% reload speed buff to Earshot
Thank god, it's my favorite shoulder weapon and 12 seconds was way too long. I was hoping for 10.5, but 9.3 is fricking sweet, feels rapid-fire now almost lol. Songbirds are fricking trash now, though.
>Buff to Schneider 46 arms recoil
They were already the best arms for firearms and now they're even better now that the only flaw is gone.
Their recoil control is way too low still for machine guns
I'll never fricking forgive MMOs and games as services for making every other game dev have a fricking fetish about obsessively patching and re balancing single player games fricking constantly.
>make game better
>complain anyways
>?????
>Profit!
>Constantly reshuffling shit and never just letting the game be a mature finished product
>BETTER!
>never just letting the game be a mature finished product
They do though, shit like Dark Souls III recieved its final balance patch years ago. They eventually do just let the game become a mature product even while keeping servers up so you can play. Really, it's to be expected when you can't really know how balanced everything truly is until it gets into millions of peoples hands. It's good that they patch the game. It's not like they're doing it every week, anyways.
More often than not balance patches nerf fun stuff while leaving other shit that isn't as fun but far more overpowered intact, from is especially terrible in this regard.
It just isn't true in this case. There isn't really anything too overpowered that they've left intact, and almost every change across the board otherwise has been a straight buff, which should only make things more fun.
Armored Core is about PVP thoughbeit.
No. No it is not. PvP has always been a tacked on mode to have some extra frickaround fun with your builds after you've beaten the game but has never been a PvP game.
>never played AC with friends or arena in his life
I have. It doesn't make it a PvP game.
>all these PVP features since AC1 doesn't make AC a game with PVP as a major feature
it's ok if you don't play PVP, don't try to lecture other people you dumb troony
>PvP
>major feature
It has been there but it has never been a major feature. A major feature is something that actually gets dedicated support and robust features. If it was a "major feature", then why isn't there even a fricking ranking system of any kind, more robust matchmaking options, clan support, etc? Again, PvP has always been a throwaway frick around mode. AC has never been a PvP game. It's funny that you're even spouting this shit like you know when AC6 is clearly your first entry.
lol did you even ever play split screen pvp in old AC? It was dogshit that you played when you were bored and didn’t know what else to do.
It is still very much an afterthought. Were pvp multiplayer a major consideration for FromSoft, they would have actual dedicated servers for hosting it instead of relying on Nintendo-tier p2p connections.
Is this the newest discordtroony psyop that's being spammed? Single player balance updates are a good thing, barring wholesale nerfing, because the game is more fun and replayable if more builds are viable.
They are fricking not a good thing jesus christ.
Imagine how fricking unfun and homogenized every goddamn game prior to the rise of cancerous PCs-in-console-clothing would be if they were obsessively balance patched?
Black person, the PS3/360 AC games went through plenty of regulation changes as well.
Yes, and the PS3 and 360 were the start of bullshit HDD day 1 patch enabling cancer consoles as well.
>No one should attempt to improve their game after it launches, even if they have the means to do so
It's not From's fault that shit companies like Bethesda abuse DLC to sell horse armor, FROM's content updates and DLC have always been pretty solid and always at a fair price.
FROM has been balance "patching" since the PS1 games.
Every AC has had big adjustments. Remember FINGER?
Of course you don't.
Playing through the games Ninebreaker might have been the most blatant “fighting game title update” I ever saw for a game that wasn’t a fighting game. I would say it would be nice to play Nexus with the Ninebreaker balance, but that doesn’t fix the shit mission design
>make unfun weapons fun to use
>already fun weapons still fun
>still complain that game is more fun and also make up some homegenization schizo bullshit
????
>muh homogenization
Black person every fricking queer like you was rocking zimzams
have a nice day
This board hated chaotic singleplayer nerfs at least since pillars of eternity 1's balance shitfest, autist
Frick off
This board has always spazzed out about nerfs to anything even if they nonstop spam "you didn't beat the game". Just another example of Ganker being schizo autists about literlaly anything.
how does getting rid of the viable things result in having more viable builds?
>barring wholesale nerfing
Vast majority of changes so far are buffs
So you miss when games would release and if they had a stagnant as frick meta or gamebreaking bugs you had to straight up buy another version of the same game when they borderline re-release the same game Street Fighter 2 style? Or even better, the broken mess just becomes the games legacy and it simply dies? You're a fricking idiot.
>stagnant as frick meta
Who gives a frick about meta in games, the more broken shit is what makes games fun. Sotn wouldn't be half as enjoyable without countless ways to absolutely dab on everything, and snk bosses would never become a meme without being the total unhinged shitshow that they were.
You serious right now? If Soulsteal, Crissaegrim, Shield Rod + Alucard Shield, etc and well as letting the player get so much def they take 1 dmg were all heavily nerfed the game would be massively better.
>Sotn wouldn't be half as enjoyable without countless ways to absolutely dab on everything
That's the point, dumbfrick. You're saying this while arguing for the guy who wants PvP to be Zimmerman-only mode.
PvP can go frick itself and should be walled off from singleplayer like it was in previous entries.
Stay mad I guess.
Unbalanced garbage is unbalanced garbage I don't know why stupid fricks like yourself think it has to pvp oriented before its a problem.
You're lucky they don't take your summons away in the Souls game you conquered c**t.
Balanced=boring, there's no exception to this.
>every weapon having it's own niche is boring
What the frick do you even want then?
A free win
>I want free wins and to not have to think or acquire skill
This is what the balance gay truly believes, because the balance gay fails to realize that one can use dogshit bad weapons as a self imposed challenge and for fun too.
In balance land everything is just a reskin that does the same quantifiable damage.
>attacking an utter strawman instead of the plethora of actual arguments levied against you
Balance is great because it gives every weapon a chance to shine and be useful. That's why games like Halo 1 have great combat, every weapon has a purpose. You, meanwhile, have no fricking argument for why unbalanced games are good.
it's more fun for me because i like watching streamers play the game and it's fricking boring when everyone just uses zimbirds
>person with sniper rifle can utterly delete you from long range but is helpless at close range
Challenge: get to sniper
>person with a shotgun can kill you with a headshot at close range but has low rate of fire so if he doesn't kill you you can kill him
Challenge: weave and hide so he wastes his bullet
>person with assault rifle is good at midrange and can kite you
Challenge: don't get kited, kill him before he kills you
This is balance, each approach has its weak and strong points and with each approach come its own challenges. Black personhomosexuals who claim balance is making all three guns have the same stats are moronic.
So you want the meta to funnel into something that solved, singular, and unbalanced? It sounds like you're just upset that there isn't an easy build you can lazily copy from youtube if the meta changes. Stay moronic.
>meta
keep your pvp autism to pvp
in fact i have no idea why they didn't shove nerfs only to pvp modes
If someone uses the word meta they are 100 percent games as service brain poisoned.
The word meta wasn't create within the past 10 years. Further proof of you being moronic zoomer revisionists.
Nice Headcanon moron
I agree. If every weapon is the same there's no reason to use different ones.
Every weapon besides the meta weapon is the same (useless) if the game exists in an unbalanced state. The niches cant exist if theres only one viable option above all other options. Youre conflating numbers adjustment to making weapons mechanically similar.
I never mentioned PVP slop you delusional moron. Obsessive balance tinkering in a single player game is the dumbest fricking shit.
Agree.
>better
Fix the glitches and stop bothering the players by nerfing shit all the time.
>better
Yes.
>one or two meta builds for pve
>two or three meta builds for pvp
>you can try other stuff but other things usually underperform
its good devs are addressing weaker weapons. Stay mad or whatever
>Pirated the game day 1 so completed the game fresh out of steam with all the crashes and everything
>Can play that never-updated copy again whenever I want
PirateGODS, how are we feeling
Pretty bad because every update has been good lol
just tried out the buffed laser weapons and they are so good. the weapons are all great now. it's time to make the enemies stronger now
Nerfing songbirds to shit is not a way to balance singleplayer
They are nothing special compared to plethora of other weapons and nobody is going to use them now
This reminds me about DS2 style balance rape which made entire classes garbage and destroyed iconic weapons like DS2 mlgs
At least they buffed Earshot in exchange which was way fricking better anyways. It's Ng+ only for sure, but once you get it, there's no need to ever use Songbirds again.
Isn't earshot much heavier and requires more EN?
>Recoil control up on all arms
About fricking time.
>laser turrets buffed
Fricking why
>still no new parts
shit patches
There's not going to be any new parts unless they release DLC or expansions.
i wish i could play through the story progression starting at nothing again. I already S ranked everything with the worse balance. Atleast multiplayer will be more interesting
just start a new game bro
i dont want to see my work disappear forever......
just backup the saves bro
it works like elden ring saves? i can just paste it in the folder when i want it back?
ye
Yes you can, enjoy getting shadowbanned for altering save files though.
If you aren't modding your save file you are not gonna be banned, just swapping them won't do anything.
the anti cheat will react to the changes in save file steam cloud. it will detect the difference.
multiplayer still worked in ER when i swapped saves, duplicated them, and used CE offline. is it stricter for AC?
He's making shit up.
Bro, I hard swap saves on PC, play Steam Deck offline and come back with conflicts on PC and there's never any problem. If you're just backing up and transferring saves, you're fine.
Shadowbanned doesn't actually give you any notification. You'll just ended up being matched by cheater or maybe hard to get someone for pvp.
It's never been a problem, every ER/ Souls streamer that I watch (several) backup their saves and reload them on demand. It's never been a problem. Mods on the other hand, yeah I've seen people get banned for the smallest of mods.
>the anti cheat will react to the changes in save file steam cloud
Just don't use steam cloud shit.
There's an option for that?
>Buff bomb thrower
>Buff linear rifles
>nerf zimmerman
FRICK YEA
Nerfs are the gayest shit. If you can't bring everything else up then don't bother with this shit at all
Almost every change was a buff if you bothered to read it
If I wanted to read I'd go to library and not Ganker. I'm here to complain
Hey, at least you admit that you're ignorant.
Holy redditor.
Thats not how things work dumbo nobody wants a game where every option wins free. May as well play Hello Kitty Island Adventure since you want absolutely no semblance of challenge.
Call me when they release Hello Kitty mecha game
To be fair, Zim was so good even with these nerfs and the buffs it still might be very god damn good. Songbird has sorta fallen out of style for the needle, so I'm surprised it got hit as hard as it did. Needle's direct hit nerf might make earshot the new king
AURORA getting energy Firearm Spec might make them fricking awesome on an energy build.
Earshot is fricking amazing now, basically a 1/4 reload speed reduction to what was already way better than songbirds and just as good as worm cannon imo. Now, it's unstoppable. I was only hoping for like a 1.5 sec reduction but they went to almost 3. It's quite fast now for how powerful it is.
The effective range detonation of grenade cannons basically kills forever flight builds, which is unfortunate
Also makes missiles and certain energy weapons the only true long range weapons, unless bazooka buff is substantial
It's not a proximity fuse.
Still better than the round just despawning at max range
>zimmerman nerf
good
>spas 12 nerf
lmao what
it was already a bit poor
>Basho arms
>Decrease
>Not melee
Wew, skipped a beat there.
The whole point of Basho arms is melee, of course they won't nerf that stat. It was also one of the most armored arms in the game so they fixed that point.
Yeah I feel like the earshot didn't really need a buff, it was already pretty strong. At least you won't be able to snipe at long range with explosive projectiles in PVE anymore since they detonate when they reach their intended range. The bazooka boost is opening a whole range of new builds for medium/heavy mechs, maybe even light mechs depending on how good the grenade launchers are after this patch.
Their speed and tracking was shit and they didn't improve them, so Aurora still a shit.
Bipeds best peds.
Frick this shit. Make the other weapons more powerful, stop nerfing things!!!
Read the patch notes you fricking moron.
>read the notes
>Zimmerman nerfed
moron.
One nerf isn't worth 50 buffs. Simple as.
Never used zimzams, never gonna use them. Glad the easy mode crutches got nerfed still.
shotgun users still have the sweet 16 they can transfer into
No one cares about you, spastic.
Mad your crutches got nerfed?
Mad people can play with non shit weapons?
I play games to have fun, not as a punishment.
>Grenade weapons now fire actual fricking grenades that explode after reaching their effective range, standing in for the fuse in real life grenade rounds
TASUKETE SNAILGGERMAN
THE KINO IS TOO STRONG
Jump good: The patch, also frick Zimmy
I'm glad they made light ACs more viable, but I wonder if the pendulum won't go too far in their direction now. Guess we'll see soon enough.
>Regulation 1.10
>Light ACs can now explode if you Assault Boost into terrain
If you finished the game before this update, you didn't beat it.
The other second-rate creative wannabe that apes the same buzzwords already beat you to it. You'd know that if bothered to read the thread you don't give a shit about ruining.
You didn't beat it.
Damn man this is getting out of control.
I finished AC6 weeks before the patch and I didn't beat the game.
I finished Lies of P after the patch and I didn't beat the game.
How do I beat games?
If you beat the game, you didn't beat the game.
if you interact with online communities in any way shape or form, you already lost.
>read people saying this weapon is op
>you le didn't beat the game!
>install the game, try it after unlocking
>it's complete shit
Weird? Weird!
You ever considered you're just bad?
I finished NG++ yesterday, just because it's a fun game. I'm not hardcore, definitely. Game is very easy and casual.
>read people saying this weapon is op
Which weapon?
Shotgun Zimmerman
>zimmerman
>complete shit
Yes. It looks like shit, sounds like shit and performs like shit. Energy and explosive are my choice.
Well, I commend you for not using them. But you are a complete fricking moron if you think they were bad. Massive damage, massive impact damage, they reduce any fight in to a complete cakewalk.
Zimmermans being broken and overtuned isn't a Ganker meme, everyone who has played the game and isn't crutch reliant was able to identify them as such.
No, I am an intellectual and I think it's garbage.
Idk what to tell you, might be brain damage then.
No way pal, the literal second I started using Zimmerman I was S ranking missions with a flick of the wrist, actually zero effort involved. Oneshotting MTs from so far away, doing half health to minibosses once they get staggered, they absolutely tore through things. And the fact is you could have two of them, so anything you felt like you were missing could be resolved by putting on a second shotgun. It's actually nuts. Nothing else compares. I'm sorry, but you've been playing the game wrong if you don't see how Zimmermans are/were strong.
ac6 is not saved until there is ranked matchmaking
>Aurora gets EN scaling
Neat. I wonder if that'll make them useable or just pretty light shows. Homing lasers make my dick rock hard.
It will make them probably the best homing missiles in the game
>aurora
>homing
lol. lmao even.
Sadly still needs some buffs. Shame though since it’s ZoE missles basically and I’d love to use them proper
I still want ricochet removed
The changes also apply to npc ACs right?
99% sure it does. I remember modders saying that any of the cheating AC parts also apply to the enemy ones using those parts.
>bomb wall buffed
>linears buffed
>bazookas buffed (for some reason)
>other GLs buffed
>EOs buffed
just want a PvE mode now
buffed (for some reason)
What do you mean for some reason? Bazookas were a joke prior to this update. Easy to dodge, no proximity fuses, required a firing stance etc.
I literally made a Bazooka build earlier tonight and couldn't hit anyone with it. Now, I can actually get some kills. They sorely needed a buff across the board.
Skill issue, I wrecked Ibis with a double zooka even before he was nerfed.
I'm talking about pvp where people actually know how to dodge unlike Ibis who just fricking stands there. I beat her with explosives on the first patch as well, go make yourself a medal or something.
No one plays pvp stop making things up
I'm sort of sick of Ganker gaslighting me tonight when I call dumb gays out on their bullshit
If you had tank legs it's not that big of an accomplishment.
That's because Ibis stands still at multiple points between dashing and attacking. Ibis is unironically one of the easiest bosses to hit with bazookas.
Just like with previous patch, looking at datamines there's more changes to other weapons btw
Pilebunker, laser lance, laser shotgun, krsv, too many to list
lmao I beat half the game with jvln alphas and apparently it was underpowered?
Same here dude, amazing weapon. I only used one but it was always with me. Maybe it was bad in pvp though.
Trueno nerf is the only thing that seems stupid.
Great that they increased the total ammo count on pistols and stuff, cause those were pretty much impossible to use during the main campaign.
>Trueno nerf is the only thing that seems stupid.
I wonder how much the tracking nerf matters for them, they already didn't track very hard.
It's just tracking. I used them for their Direct hit insanity as a stagger punisher so they're the same for me. It was legitimately bugged with the needles turning like 40 degrees at long ranges
Pistols were OP as frick during the main campaign, i steamrolled the game with them
Good excuse for an another playtrough I guess. Is Zimmerman still good, or do I need to make a new AC?
You should make a new AC anyways because trying new builds for new missions is a large part of what makes the game fun, imho. You won't be disappointed by trying something new this time.
For me the fun in Armored Core comes from creating the perfect AC. The assembly menu is the gameplay.
Same, that's why I was so happy when I made 'the' perfect AC with exact energy/weight limits met with a very powerful build. It's AP did get nerfed somewhat in this update, though, do to the ephermera chest piece getting reduced AP. Still, I've made like 30 builds and I enjoy playing most of them, changing up between missions etc.
Nice breasts bro. Respect for using the 46d arms and firmeza legs though
>hitting max EN Load
I dunno, I ike the additional supply efficiency for regen that unused EN load provides
Same I really like regen on light builds.
Try sweet 16s. You need to get absurdly close, but it might be okay. That said even with the nerf zims might still be fine enough to use. Kinda like how rifles are now.
I'm surprised Plasma velocity wasn't buffed along with zooks. It's damn hard to hit anything with them in PvP
See it as an opportunity to finally stop using training wheels.
Instead of nerfing kicks and assault boost they should just turn off hard lock in PVP so you actually have to put in effort to hit kicks.
Never gonna happen. They already dug their grave with how many buttons you have to push and hold on pad.
Using lock-on to turn the camera is only mandatory if you use the terrible default controls.
PC chads don't have to worry about this. Though I swear, even with mouse-aim my target lock would sometimes shoot at people I wasn't remotely aiming at.
There's no controls scheme on a standard PS/Xbox controller where you can charge all 4 quick boost, normal boost, strafe and turn all at the same time. With those extra buttons you can push with your ring fingers you can but not otherwise.
Skill issue.
My brother in Christ, put quick boost and jump on the triggers.
my post still applies
Already got my s-ranks with zims + songbirds wheelchair, who cares.
You didn't beat it.
>Make the other weapons stronger stop nerfing things!!!!!
The zimmermans could literally two cycle bosses before they could get any dialogue off, they were clearly not intended to be that powerful and were a blatant oversight like the Moon katana in ER
It's a deserved nerf
>NOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST USE A STRONG WEAPON YOU NEED TO BE LIKE ME AND VOLUNTARILY NERF YOURSELF!1!!
No one sane in their mind likes to be weak, people enjoy strong weapons, people enjoy being overpowered. If you want to challenge yourself you can always use different weapons and strategies but taking away that feeling of power will forever make your game not as fun.
>Blah blah please don't nerf my crutches
Begone, shitter.
I am already done playing the game.
As I said, I enjoy feeling powerful. You do you, why can't I do what I enjoy? Why are you so hellbent on ruining other people's fun when it doesn't affect your game? Is it mental illness?
Who cares about that shit in a single player game? You are crazy.
do you just enjoy easy games man?
Not necessarily but I do enjoy feeling overpowered.
Your question is irrelevant to the matter at hand, though. If you think those weapons make the game too easy for you then you can just use something else.
Good thing that was not the case.
Stay mad.
That is absolute bullshit. You wanna know an example of something that was "tremendously powerful" at launch in a From game? The special attack of the Butterfly shield in Dark Souls 1. The Zimmermans were just good.
>I enjoy the game playing itself for me because I'm too much of a shitter
ok moron
If you're not blind, mute, deaf and without hands you didn't beat the game.
NTA, but i don't own the game or anything i can play it on
did i beat the game?
yes
frickin' awesome, dude
shit dude, the zimmys really got unlocked too fast for something so powerful
it's great if a game lets you be overpowered but you really should have to work for it a bit more
The zimmermans were insanely broken you stupid Black person. They weren’t just “good”. They were better the pre-nerf hoarfrost stomp which wasn’t merely “good” either.
Fake news, you are stupid.
>I-it was completely fair that I could two pump almost every boss into a stagger state, it was fair I say!
>two pump
More fake news.
>As I said, I enjoy feeling powerful.
There's a difference between feeling powerful and sleeping through the game.
Good thing you finished before you got filtered you absolute fricking casual shitter. Don't come back (not like you can without your crutch Zimmerman builds lmaooooo get fricked Black person)
Zimmermans for all intents and purposes were bugged. They were tremendously powerful, it was not intended. So they were nerfed.
>"I am already done playing the game"
>With Zimmerman
You didn't play the game, sweetie. It played you.
>NOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PUT A MODICUM OF EFFORT WHY CAN'T I ZIMMERMAN CYCLE EVERYTHING AAAA I'M GOING INSANE SAVE ME Black personMAN
This new patch really exposed the casuals HARD
>handgun ammo up
FRICKING FINALLY i wont run out after killing 3 enemies
The Zims are dead. Songbirds are dead. Haldeman is dead too (for some reason).
Ransetsu chads, say it with me - we rule this game. Even in space robot future, AK is still the best rifle.
AK-47 FOR EVERYONE
I beat all games using the Ransetsu before any patches. It's buff honestly baffled me.
>dual stun launchers specifically nerfed
bros be honest, how bad is it? I was crutching hard on that combo for my NG+ playthrough
>All arms: increased recoil control
>All boosters: increased upward thrust
>All legs: increased attitude stability
>All heads: increased system recovery
>Lmfao frick wheelchair legs: AP nerf
>Both tetrapod legs: AP nerf
>Decreased kick range for tetrapod legs: frick you
>Decreased assualt boost speed for heavy ass tetrapods.
>Frick tetrapods.
Strange mix of unironically based changes and total damage control changes. They noticed nobody was landing ranged shots and nobody was flying.
Biped gods stay winning. Frick your snowflake modes of movement
Fricks sake the game is supposed to be about gundam roleplaying, why was every other leg type better
the pvp meta, that was also ridiculous for missions was tetrapod shotgun, mainy due to the kick being so easy to land and the better overall stats the verill legs had over everything else
I only encountered one Tet AC designed around kickmaxing, but having been on the receiving end that one time, boy howdy do I get it. Lot more Zim encounters, but I guess i'm just lucky.
Surprised at the AP nerf though
>They noticed nobody was landing ranged shots
I mean you literally can't. Long range is a hair off mid range until you enter the no fun zone. Better recoil control helps but ricochet ruins any chance it has to exist, and without it you risk long range stagger builds that are absolute cancer.
For me, the main problem with long range is the projectile speed. You can see it coming and still have the reaction time of a boomer and dodge it, heck, sometimes even just moving already does it
Until they buff projectile speed, real long range (above 260m) is still going to be ass
The stagger system really guts any chance of me having fun from a distance like in for answer and I hate it.
Git gud
You only get staggered if you get hit.
Me getting hit isn't the problem, the problem is that from won't add true range to the game because normalgays wouldn't be able to dodge obvious sniper rounds coming towards them without the "no distance allowed" system and get staggered to death.
It's also just not as fun as constant combat and only getting melted down if you mismanage your energy.
True range? This game has plenty of range.
Enable manual aim or some shit.
>ricochet
The shit in 6 would be considered close to mid range in any other game.
don't forget the hover nerf either, you can't slowly cruise over the entire map on missions now
Glad I fully beat the game already. Tetrapod legs were my go to legs from the moment I got them. Love this frickers.
>I want to instantly be able to murder bosses with broken builds, please don't take that away from me!
lol. this reminds me of people complaining about Terarria when they nerfed a bunch of cheese strats against the moon lord.
>NOOO I BUILT A THRONE THAT MAKES IT SO I DON'T TAKE DAMAGE, LET ME JUST BEAT THE FINAL BOSS WITH IT
"No!"
So which weapon is the best for tank build now
bazookas and some other weapons that require firing stance were buffed, could say it's an indirect buff to tanks and quads weaponry
I think you can still frame cancel zooks windup with a shield still so tank zooks might be the new thing
You can by QB too, actually been a problem for me since I spam QB and it was cancelling fire during the wind-up until I noticed
no I mean if you use a shield you can cancel the wind up, not the shot
It's probably a bug. Will it get fixed at some point ? Idk.
It's funny because that's true IRL, pistol rounds like 9mm are generally heavier than intermediate calibers like 556.
Manual aim also doesnt trigger warnings last time I checked. Did they fix that ?
>more handgun rounds
Fricking finally. Why would you be able to carry less handgun rounds than AR rounds to begin with?
They're VERY heavy.
how does the truneo work now? i dont fully understand the patch notes, so it got nerfed into oblivion? it wasnt even that meta
The projectile trajectory was bending towards the target if you waited enough for the yellow bars to fill up. Now it's just shooting straight. Fricking useless against someone who isn't standing still.
I don't know why it was nerfed or why people were crying about trueno when there's way more cancerous weapons in the game. It was the only weapons hitting relatively hard for low weight builds.
If you somehow got someone to staggered, double trueno to the face hits goddamn hard in pvp.
But personally, I don't think it's that game breaking.
The Trueno was also borderline useless at medium range already. I was only using them at knife range or to stagger punish on my dual pistol/dual trueno lightweight build. I'll see if the nerf really changes anything or not.
>The projectile trajectory was bending towards the target if you waited enough for the yellow bars to fill up

That was one of the reasons why 5th was worse than 4th gen.

That reason being it was riding the coattails of much more popular 4th gen.

Uh, yeah… this means ACVI was riding off the coattails of 5th gen then, right?

>more duckett ammo
hell yea
I couldn't kill iguazu because I ran out of ammo with those
same. i had to switch to this because i'd waste too much ammo on the adds at the start
beat that whiny Black person to death with my bare hands was very satisfying
>i had to switch to [free S ranks]
oh no the horror
>free S ranks
who the frick was using sanpu orbits and coral emitter for s ranks
i was
look at his fricking webm the sword deals like entire fricking bar of stagger and the hitbox is the size of your mom just like fume knight sweep it was copied from
handgun+emitter/redshift+needles - free S ranks other than a very tiny bunch of missions where a specific loadout is needed like escort the ship
how would you guys build an MMA AC? by MMA, i mean punches and kicks only
Spring Chicken Legs for strong kick, maybe Basho Arms for strong punch
thanks
Since kick damage scales with weight, you want some of the heaviest parts you can strap onto your AC - I saw a bipedal only tournament and Snail's legs fricking swept because of the huge kick damage and AS, however for an unlimited unarmed build I think tetrapods would still be the strongest even with the nerfs. I think the best loadout for this would be Bashos, and then max out the possible Attitude Stability from the options left for us in Tetrapod legs and Core/Head. Mind Beta seems like an obvious choice, but I would go with Tian Qiang over Main Dish because of the generator output gives us a frickload of extra energy to work with.
The most difficult part of the life of unarmed AC combat is what happens when you've ended your melee combo, and that means that your Generator and Armor Expansion are the most important choices you make on this kind of build. Do you think they will try and put the pressure back on you with kicks of their own? AA might be super helpful, then, as it's good damage output when you have no other options and it's a great setup for melee besides. Worried you might get kited? Pulse Armor is your only friend when you have no energy left. Ideally you want to spend as little time in the red and out of energy as possible so you can keep being aggressive and bullying people. Boosters are a toss-up between Kikaku and Beurzel - AB Cost and Melee Lunge speed versus raw AB Speed. From some testing, Kikaku is good in neutral for punches because they have the best lunge to follow up on punches against people backing away, but Beurzel has the better closer for kick-heavier gameplay.
webm related, the power of kicks in bell bottom jeans (tetra kicks aren't as statistically strong, they just never fricking miss, so in terms of doing 100-0 they're not as impressive)
the internals are Kikaku boosters and VP-20D
What world are you from where RJ kicks have functioning hitboxes against anything trying to avoid them
the sweeping motion of biped and tetra kicks are half the reason kicks even function and are as strong as they are
and I forgot the webm like a moron
>verification not required
The RJ kickbox shits on everything wdym? You have a ton of forward momentum with it.
>the sweeping motion of biped and tetra kicks are half the reason kicks even function and are as strong as they are
That's what I mean. Biped/Tetra kicks can't be as easily side-stepped as RJ kicks, which go flying past people all the time. You really need to catch someone really committed to trying to go directly away from you as your assault boosting at them, which is a fricking meme.
The RJ kick is more of a punish tool after getting someone to QB because it travels faster/further
This
RJ kicks are fast and have extreme range, it gives you far more opportunity to use them when the target is staggered when you QB in.
Correct, but in this context of a purely melee unarmed build that will never happen because of the nature of unarmed attacks being linear lunges to begin with - the addition of a large sweeping attack that guarantees a soft-stagger that all kicks give is priceless. On something like a shotgun build where people don't want to be close to you at all and back away purely defensively, it's good, but in PvP a great deal of players, knowing this, still went Tetra with their close range/melee builds because of the useful functionality of having a kick with a massive hitbox because it provides them an unresponsive person in VERY close range for the cost of functionally just ABing past them. Tetras were masterclass rushdown legs, and having just swept up HAL in the arena, I think they still have good functionality as just that.
literally never had any issues hitting stuff with RJ kicks
if anything RJ made me use kicks, i tried to use them after that homosexual Sulla spammed them on me but on bipeds kicks are beyond useless if you're not AI so they got shelved for a while
I've done some unarmed missions, even some bosses (cleaner was fricking miserable) but it ultimately stops being fun really quickly due to sheer tedium. I ended up throwing a pile bunker on the left shoulder to actually captialize on staggers and get some real damage since anything that isn't an basic mook MT takes an unfun amount of time to kill otherwise. Took the build from being a joke to a build that was fun enough to make it worth using for an entire NG+ run.
Only times I ever put other weapons on were the ice worm for obvious reasons and the mission to kill Michigan. I got so goddamn close to beating him so many times but it ultimately became too frustrating and tedious to keep having to sweep through 50 grunts on every attempt first. I did redo the entire arena with that build and could beat him just fine there but he didn't have repair kits to save his ass so it was easier to blitz him down. Ended up bringing the stun needle to just chew through his repair kits before going back to meleeing him.

>For everyone but RJ goblins
>RJ stability increases
RJbros report in, we can't stop winning
stompbros…
RJ kicks seem like they never fricking hit though. They SHOULD be the most powerful because you have fricking launchers for legs.
Anon, even with the stability buffs to RJs, they're comically below bipeds. For reference, Spring Chickens, the heaviest RJs, have LESS stability than the NACHT and FIRMEZA bipeds, the lightest of the standard legs.
Reverse joints were arguably the worst legs, lowest stability and all your benefits needed you to stay on the ground. I welcome the buff.
>stability increase across the board
Wonder if the deemphasis on stagger is going to be a nerf to stagger focused weapons like pistols and make bullet orbits seem fair
>Waiting for pirated patch
Someone give me a good Coral build. Or a build that uses the Earshot. No Tetrapods or tanks please.

>Boost speed
>269
No.
>Wants to use a heavy weapon
>Doesn't want to deal with the downsides of a heavyweight
Sorry, not happening, especially not after the recent patch. Heavyweights now have slower boost speed across the board.
Also, base speed is irrelevant, you want good boost speed. The NGI 001's give me roughly 330 QB speed, and the larger the disparity between your base speed and QB speed, the better.
*Also, base speed is irrelevant, you want good boost speed
Half asleep.
HOLY SHIT
*GOOD QB SPEED
FRICK ME
Ahah, moron.
RIP in Peace, Zimmerman ;_;7
Is my meme Melee Lightweight Grenadier AC no longer a meme now bros? I always had the thought they can't dodge my grenade/zook if I'm in melee range with the explosions.

RJS have the lowest stability of all leg types by a country mile. For the record, the lightest Schneider RJs have less stability than fricking JAILBREAK legs. I could sneeze on a set of Spring Chickens and topple the fricking things.
>lightest Schneider RJs
>implying there are multiple Schneider RJs to use a superlative adjective
just want to make sure if you know that the NACHTREIHER legs are bipedal
>duuuhhh superlative gayjective
anon go back to grading homework instead of nitpicking posts on Ganker.
fricking damnit, i meant there's only one PAIR of Schneider RJs, making the superlative adjective unnecessary
whatever, we're all morons here
RJs is short for reverse joints, as in a condensed version of reverse joint legs. It doesn't inherently mean multiple reverse joints by Schneider.
Anon, your KASUAR RJs which are made by Schneider?
moron.

>Lightweight reverse-joint legs developed by Schneider. These legs sacrifice stability and defensive performance to provide exceptional jumping performance, enabling agile transitions to aerial combat–as is Schneider's forte.
stop getting hit homosexual
Follow up shot nerf is to prevent people from strapping two ice needles on and calling it a day
and what stops me from doing needle - handgun - needle if this nerf even matters?
The reload speed of the needle ? The issue of the needle was huge discharge damage on top of huge stagger. You now have a chance to recover from one of those when before you ate both an ACS overload and a discharge.
no, two needles, shoot one, shoot handgun and shoot another
>on consequent shots
they mean the electric explosion after the shot itself. iirc it dealt like around 400 damage on trainer AC?
I see no difference? Ayre died easily.
Thank god I bought a physical copy along with the steam version so I can go back to the original proper version of the game if I ever want to replay it.
there's way to downpatch fromsoft games on PC usually
Earshot cooldown is fricking amazing doe
???????????????
UHHHHH??????
The damage bonus for hitting a staggered target is nerfed.
But still
shotguns are only meant to cause stagger they aren't supposed to be one size fits all
Yeah a shotgun/tureno build can still work
I wish my hopes for ammo types was real and we could have the same model shotgun loaded differently in each hand for staggering and damaging respectively. I'd totally use dual dragon's breath shotties.
Let's say your RT gets stuck when pressed for too long and thus cannot into BRRRRT setups. Are shotguns still the best for close range stagger building? Bros, my chainsaw needs this
painsaw isn't worth it anon you need to let go
Negatory, anon. Hitting the charged hit gets me the dopamine hit equivalent to winning the lottery
good thing that hitting a charged hit with chainsaw is exactly the same chance as winning the lottery then!
SPASbros...
It shouldn't even be in the game to begin with. Why is it the only gun in the game that looks exactly like a real life one? That's gay.

Harris is the next giga nerfed weapon. They do almost the same impact per second as prenerf zimmers (370) just normal firing them, at 200m. The charged shot is just a bonus.
Take zimmerman but give it range, lol
Double Harris is cancer.

So you can only beat the game now?
Using zimzams and needles are probably no longer in the you didn't beat the game tier now
Could they do different balancing for singleplayer and multiplayer?
Beat the game again, now that your crutches are gone
no
wow. they fixed EVERYTHING. zim zams finally fricking dead, needles, stun, dead, fricking tetra Black folk AP and kick nerfed, GG FROM - great job!
Wow all the fun things removed, good job From, surely this will revitalize the dead multiplayer
Easymode patched out, sorry for your loss, maybe leave a complaint in the complaint box 🙁
if From wanted AC to be a bigger online title, then all they'd have to do would be make the campaign co-op.
Could add other multiplayer modes too, but the biggest draw historically has always been co-op for easing people into matchmaking.
I'm surprised they didn't do it, there were coop missions in 5th gen. I get the feeling they thought AC6 was a coinflip on flopping or not. The single player is well done and very fun but MP is pretty bare bones. Glad they put out a patch and hopefully we'll see more, there's still a lot wrong with the game but that probably won't be fixed until the sequel.
>Dat Harris buffs
Dont they know that shit is aids?
from balancing requires something to be aids
>Nachtreiher: increased generator output adjustment
thank frick. that core was practically unusable if you had even one medium en cost weapon
Songbird nerf is very noticeable. It's hard to out DPS Iguazu, especially in his 2nd phase.
Huh, AC6 is actually harder now.
So how bad are the Songbird and Needle Launcher nerfs?
I never got around to finishing the game
I had difficulties killing ALLMIND using the twin zimms and songbirds. As for the stun needle, it takes a while for the stun to build up. Swapped out with other weapons however and ALLMIND was easy to manage. If you haven't beat ALLMIND yet, then good luck to you.
Earshot is buff
one day FromSoft will buff and nerf shit in such random patterns that LOADER 4 will be the most OP AC in the game
well it's already decent, though they really need to buff that dogshit generator, if they just give you the best melee in the game until the end of NG right away why a decent generator shouldn't be allowed?
>nebula nerfed
frick these chinks
you know if I knew fists were this fricking strong I'd have never feared running out of ammo
unarmed is actually a pretty rad way to play the game, if a bit repetitive

Its over, I'm selling my PS5 disc
With many hours of pvp, this touches on just about every cancer, even obscure ones like tetrapod leg coral oscillator. However I thought that missile boats were going to dodge the first wave of nerfs because theyre pvp exclusive overpowered, and overshadowed by zimmies. Looks like I was correct, even though missile boats are more cancerous than the zimmerman meta. I pulled one out every time I noticed an opponent reading my build and picking an ac to counter it, since there is no counter to a missile boat besides another missile boat.
aspertif got a touch nerfed tho. also, every booster got upward thrust buffed so it's easier to get in the air and chase them better.

haven't tried them yet but before this patch I determined dual missiles to be utter dog shit and none of my builds use them.
they're not as good as the 10-cell missiles but they feel really nice when you fire and force whatever your against to run into them.
That thing is beyond cancerous now. You can have 4 of them up at once. If you get staggered during that time it's game over.
4 of them from one launcher*
I'd hate to play in a teams lobby with this shit.

I stand corrected. That’s pretty fricking gay but everything else is cool. The explosive thrower is secretly one of my favorite weapons.
>every aspect of my aesthetic weapon loadout has improved except maybe bunker
excellent maybe i'll have easier time getting s ranks with it now
Why balance the game around the 0.1% of people that play PvP?
why did you abuse zimmers for so long?
Because the people who play single player can use anything. Just use a different gun. Or the same guns, they are probably still fine just not overtuned.
anything in the patch other than nerfing crutches is pve improvement and nerfing crutches is really an improvement too

Holy shit. This is underrated.
I was pretty confused as to why it didn't before.
Now I can shoot my funny ZoE missiles all day.
and probably OP considering how they also buffed firearm spec on several generators
is it? the issue with aurora was the horrible tracking. more damage doesn't help when you can't even hit anything
they only increased it on a few combustion gens
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SPECIAL???????????????????????????? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hate this patch not because it's not what I wanted, but because now I don't have to play smart with my build against shitters. I miss my Rock Lee weights...
Bros, I haven't S-Ranked everything yet... How fricked am I?
S Rank sweatlords, I need your opinion. Is wheelchair zimmers the fast and only option to S Rank everything? I will not download patch to chip away at these if that is the case. I'm concerned that the changes to everything are going to make S Ranking even harder to do now unless you cheese.
>S Rank sweatlords, I need your opinion. Is wheelchair zimmers the fast and only option to S Rank everything
It never was? I S-ranked this game with a midrange rifle build on patch 1.01.
I had talks with people here about S ranks and that build was able to 100% S rank everything as of a patch ago. What's your pairing with rifles? Just oops all rifles?
This was my build.
Granted with the 1.31 changes I'd swap out the P05 FCS for the WLT 001. P05 feels too unreliable now when an enemy does get up in your face briefly.
hardly.
handguns do basically everything zimmers did but with more range
No and no. Play each mission and figure out which build is best to take it as effectively as possible like all previous AC games instead of trying to cheese it like a brainless fricking zoomer.
I S Rank missions accidentally using my zippy build. S Rank isn't just about speed, sometimes doing the mission fast will net you a lower score than getting mission targets and data logs, which takes longer to do.
I S ranked the game using exclusively midweight bipeds on a duke controller (shit). The laser shotguns and rifles with the 1.5x dmg generator absolutely frick.
Huxleys untouched?
Yes, your viento huxley laser dagger/pilebunker build is untouched other than everyone having a bit more stability.
With how active they are at patching this I wish it had a bit more multiplayer features. Imagine a chromehounds style kinda thing going on.
I wish there was objective based match making. Like defend the strider or something
Maybe one day I’ll get my mecha capture the flag game mode back…
From the way Walter's and Freud's emblems looked I really thought they were gonna pull an Otsdarva and make them the same person, but he's just a dude

what's that? you "beat" the game using nothing but jailbreak parts??
GUESS AGAIN FRICKER
I think the only reason this was done was because JAILBREAKs are broken BASHO parts, and the BASHO got nerfed, so by extension JAILBREAK needs nerfed too.
holy frick
who cares about Zimmermans
quad missiles on the fastest build I can make is fricking NUTTY, I killed Ayre first try and I made it 20 minutes ago
Does S rank anything because of all the fricking ammo cost but it takes ZERO skill
nevermind, I was doing rematches between writing sentences, adjusted to get rid of the PROACT missiles to have a Pilebunker to capitalize on the massive stagger I was building up and just as I submitted this post I clicked through the cutscene and got the S rank
it's absolutely stupid
>two different missile launchers
How do you feel about them, what are their strenghts and weaknesses compared to the other?
The strength of having different missile launchers is that when they reach the target, they do so in a stream, not a singular bunch that are all dodged simultaneously, with different launch speeds, travel speeds, and trajectories. The reason I use the P19 is because it's a linear missile launcher that is capable of hitting targets quickly and similarly as if I just shot them with a gun, while Aperitif has a 1.5 second delay or so before they become lethal. While hard to dodge, that delay makes it hard to get damage in on a stagger because on top of the 6.5 reload time you have to deal with the extended launch time. Yes it has a lot of missiles and impact buildup, but the speed of getting active missiles on target is why I wanted to not have two of them. And the P19 has a super fast 3 second reload time, allowing me to always be firing something, or have something ready to pop stagger and land all the other missiles just as ACS breaks.
I can fit beeg cannons on this frame

Earshot was already in a good place, it did not need a buff. The splash range is huge, you have to be really wary when you're on the ground and someone with that shit equipped is above you or if there's a wall directly behind you.
heaviest and most EN draining it deserves to stand head and shoulders above the rest especially now that everything also got buffed

They should only buff shit, what's the point of nerfing shit?
Because shit like double stun needles/double zimmermans just invalidates most fights.
So just use something else then, no one forces you to use that shit.
I didn't use them, but they should still be nerfed. In a game that seeks to incentivize experimentation, having options that are just stronger than everything else in every situation goes against that idea.
shut the frick up homosexual
LMAO, did zimmermans frick your mom or something? I don't get why people b***h about single player games needing nerfs.
>He doesn't play PvP
Then no shit why Zims wouldn't bother you if you didn't get hit by one.
I'm so glad I already beat the gamle 3 times. It's so fricking stupid the way devs want to get an absolutely perfectly balanced game as if every fricking game was a competitive tryhard fighting ground. It's single player ffs.
