A helmet ~ A blade ~ A jacket ~ A cosplay ~

Three months' free time to make these. Work-life balance is hard. Orange lights are separate magnetic lights, and the blade is one light strip with a battery box. For the top, I bought a techwear jacket and modified it like last time, but I can't quite settle on the pants yet. Next mission: make mecha gloves.

Don't know how to post a video here so video on X: video

Discussion Just beat AC1.

Post image
308 Upvotes

So... yeah. I beat AC1.

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who helped me in the last post. Thanks for the reassurance, kind words, and for telling me to relax. I took "Being a True Raven" a bit too seriously and forgot to just... enjoy playing the game.

And thanks as well for the advice of configuring my controls. Using the face pad to look around literally changed how I played the game. I went from barely clinging on to being somewhat decent. A good improvement, I say.

Just making this post because I feel like I somewhat owe it to my fellow Ravens who helped me get this far, and it's a nice ending to the other two posts of my AC1 journey, finishing this in a neat Trilogy or three-act structure.

Now for my thoughts on Armored Core 1 overall after finishing the game:

Pretty good. I can see why everyone loved it, and why it grew as a franchise. For a PS1 game, it had nice lore and worldbuilding and pretty good mechanics, especially for its time (most likely). Even now, despite my raging, frustrations, and taking the game too seriously, I had fun in the end once I just let myself enjoy playing how I want to and not how I perceived "it should be played".

So, when I actually let myself have fun, I did. I'm happy that I finished playing AC1 with the goal of having fun and not just the goal of beating it so I can say I did.

And honestly?

I'm glad I didn't give up playing it. It makes for a good memory of a good game.

Even if I did internally rage a lot, but hey, that's part of the Armored Core fun!

Thanks for being with me in this journey--especially to those who tried, and did, help me out. I think this is where I'll stop the Reddit posts of my AC journey. I'll keep most of those experiences and memories of playing the rest to myself, as not everything has to be shared.

Stay safe and God bless!!!

AC Showcase: Just a horrid silhouette, the sequel

6 Upvotes

A while back I posted one of my little experiments, CURSED POETRY. This is the sequel to it, HERETICAL SERENADE, now with an all new affront to the eyes. And the worst part is, it is still ungodly fast for its frame and lance wuerger actually work together well. Any suggestions for ways to make the AC worse while still retaining speed and usability are highly encouraged because it would feel great to have others partake in my crimes against humanity.

Discussion Build suggestions

4 Upvotes

Sorry for cyrillics in advance. This probably won't work in pvp but in campaign I use it to glue to the bosses, stun them with pair of machine guns and punish with dagger. Works fine so far, but I can't decide how to make it even better. Any suggestions?

Discussion Ac6 S rank difficulty

Hey all,

I'm just curious about which mission did you guys find the hardest to S Rank?

For me it genuinely took ages to fight both Iguazu and Volta at the same time. That stuff still gives me nightmares haha.

I still can't decide what to place on the right shoulder, but the idea is to burst stun with 2 shotguns into melee punish and some extra damage with shotguns while the enemy is stunned. The only enemy I had to swap shotguns for was Snail Balteus.

How do I know if my EN recovery is good without having to go back and forth with testing my AC? They dont show EN recovery in the specs section and its giving me quite the headache...

Old Gen Hover boosters in 3rd gen?

1 Upvotes

In AC3 and Silent Line, hover legs have built-in boosters with different stats. This very helpful video goes into it a bit, and this guide might have some usable data, but otherwise i am having trouble finding non-discord info.

Do we know the numbers of these built-in boosters? Are they the same for each part, or is each part different? Is there an agreed-upon "best hover leg"? imo these legs are the coolest additions to 3rd gen Armored Core, so I would like to have a little more info on them.

Question Thinking about changing

Post image
Upvotes

I just finished the first two endings and during this trip i assemble what looked/feels good to play with to make the build i'm using now (i didn't look any build online i don't know if this is really basic) and i really like this build,

But i wanted to maybe experience more of what the game as to offer and i wanted to know what little things i could change to try something different or just the build you had the most fun with

(for now on i mainly played light build because i find them most fun but i'm not against trying something new)
