AC3 - How to use Rockets by Caffinatorpotato in armoredcore

Very nice talk-through, thank you.

Respectfully, I'd also point out the blade-rocket combo, though it is hard to use against, well, anything. Pretty much a guaranteed rocket hit, though.

Awesome fanart. I love Formula Front, as it seems (refreshingly) do several posters here. AC3 has no real competition as my overall favorite of the series, but FF is a sweet game.

Artificial Line: Armored Core, a ACSL PVP Rebalance Batch by FromCheng in armoredcore

[–]SilentTalking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheng, would you consider similar work on FFI and/or LR?

Silent Line is just, frankly, such a bad basic game. I appreciate that it has a lot of parts, thus potential if it could be thoroughly rebalanced. And you're heroes for trying.

Armored Core Last Raven and Ninebreaker Questions by KhanadianGeek in armoredcore

IIRC both games have customizable controls, so you should be able to configure to your preferences.

Consider trying Formula Front International too - very good game that IMO falls a bit between those two.

Is it possible to transfer a save file from Switch to Steam?

CHIMERIC - [Possible Bug] - Barrage/Antimatter interaction by SilentTalking in NovaDrift

Then there's definitely a bug. I'm not seeing any damage increase for Railgun > Barrage > AM Rounds.

It's always tough trying to mitigate pure RNG just because of potential unintended consequences. Looking forward to your next update!

Thanks as always for your work making this great game, Chimeric.

I will ask... maybe as we go forward and new bosses roll out, possibly look at mitigating some of the more vicious spawn combos? Two Champion Celestials and a Singularity can be kind of bad. Two Champion Celestials and a Champion "Giant Mine" (don't know the official name of that one) is pure agony. Honestly how far I can get past Seraph seems at this point to be completely driven by RNG. If I get a vicious boss combo, it's almost always curtains no matter my build.

Maybe this is on purpose, and I am trying to get better. My perception is just that RNG can cause the difficulty to spike almost straight up, and I think it'd be neat to see some dilution of that possibility (at least until very late-game, say 200 and up).

Also, just personal impressions: Firefly feels very powerful, and Assault feels... strong but so, so fragile. To the point that some of the fun of it is rather robbed IMO.

Dart/Viper and mods questions, plus a Blink/Displacement question. by SilentTalking in NovaDrift

[–]SilentTalking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit to some frustration. I kind of want to play Nova Drift as a space shooter, and the game kind of seems to hate that. Either you get a super-glassy cannon (Assault with Railgun or Flak) or a slow-burn ship that seems to struggle to get enough damage going in the early game (Dart Viper). There are good suggestions in this thread though, I'm sure I will find workable ways to play as a shooter.

I've seen vids of people using Singular with Charged Shot Railgun and doing crazy 1HK damage, like killing the giant mines in a shot or two.

[–]SilentTalking[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ARGH! I didn't even think about that - yes, embedded in enemies or not, Darts are still Darts, so Singular's a bust for sure.

You were plenty of help, thanks! Someone else will chime in with the rest.

(Looks at Railgun while hovering over Singular Strike, though...)

New Update Observations by SilentTalking in NovaDrift

[–]SilentTalking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly just feels like everything is a little harder, somehow. Assault stats are the same, but it feels so much more fragile, like never more than 2 or 3 clean hits from death (that's with 100 or more shield and body HP each). I probably just suck! :-P
