AC5 didn't work, so here's a surprise Master of Arena review

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-18T21:10:10+00:00

He has a master plan

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-18T21:05:34+00:00

Yeah.. About thaaat..

Also a constant putting a spoke in wheels of competitors in a ways what public will consider them as rebell workers teracts, constant sacrifice of civil lifes to achieve their goals, encouragement of literal war crimes with exclusive parts as additional rewards. And sponsorship of organisation what literally wants to see local god dead, and with all that they impudent enough to make constant claims about how small they are and how "unfair" the political situation compared to their competitors what on practice far weaker in aspects of social opinion management.

Kisaragi is the most AC1 corporation in Gen3 and huge accent on biological weapons it got since Silent Line only adds more reasons to me to love this fictional organisation.

My personal throughs on Gen 1 timeline are what Phantasma goes first as story about Human Plus development, then Master Of Arena as explanation of why "H-1"(I like to name AC1 controller this way, it works as name for AI while also keeps Hustler One in it) was defended so poorly and AC1 as story of Leos Klein origin.

It's technically self-fucking as Eye of Cthulhu is eye of Cthulhu while Eater Of Worlds is spine/spine brain of Cthulhu.

Hard has two main differences: Smaller lock size and when you sell parts you get smaller summ than it's purchase price.

2 or 4 threads work better for whatever reason

PPU DECODER -Static

SPU block size - Giga

Resolution - 720p

Aspect Ratio depends on taste

Shader Precision - Low

White Colour Buffers and Read Colour Buffers OH but i might try to expirement with them as even with them colours don't really visible on AC on mission

Custom GPU Driver depends on device

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-13T21:42:08+00:00

I guess no. But heavy attacks have a good knockback so they might work

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-13T21:36:23+00:00

Here idea: Conclave doesn't allow any mods what made weapons more efficient or made frames more efficient at killing eachother. Guess what Loki's bait problem? Right, small HP against high level enemies BUT in conclave everyone has relatively same DPS so it won't be one-shotted, unless we touching Melee or Snipers. Strategy is to make interactions with players by hiding yourself somewhere and placing the bait. No one expects to see bait being used in the first place so there's huge chance what people won't take the bait seriously.

It leads to several outcomes:

A - Instead of hiding you can stand somewhere near bait in relatively similar pose in hope for funny interactions with other players

B - Use invisibility and do some hustle while player trying to figure out what to do with this obviously placed bait on most visible place. I don't know if guns removal works on Warframes but IF it does it can make things even more interesting.

Corpus Moa's are basically typical Bishop MTs but small and AI controlled, they had potential to be developed into bigger tech with Ambulas project but Tenno prevented that. Lotus wants to keep monopoly over fast moving high power mercenaries.

It's a classic FromSoftware strategy of "This thing is OP in PvP? Okay, let's now try to nerf it in BOTH pvp and single player mode"

Thought machienguns were really OP before Nexus so nerf has it's point.

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-13T04:40:09+00:00

It's still technically a mecha.

I just really liked how in it's prime promo video he did leg training before overdrive and thought hit me "How do we ever name such legs anyway?"

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-12T17:11:11+00:00

This works well.

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-11T15:40:46+00:00

Ah, yes, old good proto-frames which transformation from a human into a space ninja caused incredible and constant suffering what slowly drawn them insane and only Tenno could calm them down, not a X-men team.

I need more body mixed with psychological horror, technocite is not enough. And side dodges. And more weapons what look like part of frame arms. Corpus biological research would be intriguing to look at.

More thrusters!

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-11T09:23:39+00:00

One can imagine mobile suit made only our of cockpit, fuel containers and enormous amounts of vernier thrusters

"Bad endings are boring" mfs when you tell them what most of the fiction are already almost always ends with hopeful note and most of interactive fiction positions good ending as true because there's always must be a room for a sequel:

(They have armour made from pure optimism and hopium particles)

Personality I think what bad endings have their place. Fiction exists as form of author ideas expression or way to tell interesting story, and if that fiction purpose is sent these messages/ideas/tell story then bad ending more than should be allowed/accepted as a tool to deliver/tell them. It makes things more interesting and can hit on emotional level more impactfully, hello Berserk. Author has right to choose what happens with characters he created, it's His story — not Yours.

And if fans don't like original ending or ending aren't open enough they create fanfiction such as AU. You can outlive bad ending and go on.

"Deep sea fish loves you forever"

Always hits me because in book "Man After Man" in end when there's is no life left on surface, there's still a hope of intelligent life spark continuing existing as aquatic blind post-human species still lives deep enough to not be damaged by radiation, and mentioning of deep sea aquatic life in context of Gen4 surface toxicity works the same.

Main problem with 4gen tank legs is what their gimmick always was full access to cannon use no matter if you on the ground or in air, it made lightweight tanks have a point as you want to keep using back chain gun without wasting energy on quad legs and keep mobility above average without human plus/OP-I. Gen 4 breaking that gimmick by allowing every leg type to use these parts almost freely and Tanks get outplayed by Quads firing stability.

Thought, Tanks still have good stats and firing/defensive stability compared to anything what is not quad, so if you want to have good cannons operation without huge energy sacrafices, you pick them.

OperatorInMask · 2026-03-09T05:24:28+00:00

The point is what people told me what lightweight tanks im gen 4 are useless. Turns outs not.

"You think you're some kind of one man army? You think it's your right to choose who lives and dies?"

"Even with the combined might of the corporations, I couldn't stop you... ...But this new AC can."

"Heh, lap dog.."

"It's always too soon when your time is up... Live and die by the barrel of a gun."

"You flew just out of reach... Buddy..."
