Any news on that second xbox group? This may or may not influence my purchase of this game
Its called Mobius, but not sure if the leader is going to rename it to be something GAF related, or just add GAF to the name in some form. The level 52 group.
This. (Edit: answered above by Teknoman)
Finally ditched all my junk parts! =D So much to learn about this game but I'm absolutely loving it and can't wait to play more when Im not!
I also found a sort of overview on the operator role, which hopefully will help me some when I decide to do it for the first time.
Coolio. I'll be watching the PS3 group to see who doesn't sign on during a regular basis. If we have some people that only sign on once a week or not at all, then I'll boot them from the team to make room for other gaffers.
We had 10 people online tonight and did some more conquest missions. We took territory in all but 2 places, which we couldn't get a battle in for the life of us. If we get territory in them we'll have territory captured in every area and will get the Overlord trophy :|
Otherwise, did a bunch of mock battles. It looks like some of the guys have made AC's that are strong against my light weight, so I was eating dirt quite a bit tonight. Also, energy shotguns are bullshit
Does so much god damn damage lol.Good times overall, though.

Are name changes possible? If so I will do it in about 45mins when I get on.

Ahh, yeah. That's good then. They won't be further nerfing my shotgun AC of death.

The US version isn't up to the latest JP patch, sorry.
yea. i distinctly remember the double barrel looking shotgun (KE: 768, ammo 35, reload 70ish) was the best shotgun in the game before patch. The low reload time is what makes it powerful, when you grind it to KE 900ish it's even more powerful.
Dreadnoughts has 1 free slot for any PS3-gaffer that wants in. I have it set to manual approval for now, so if you apply just let me know here so I know it's a gaffer and can approve you.
Oh, and some schmucks were attacking our territory in Huge Canyon. I went in there by myself and beat both of them solo. Was pretty funny.
The last guy was giving me a little bit of trouble as he had some heavier weapons, but I got a really nice kick boost in the end and went way over top of his head. He couldn't see me and I just pummeled him from above while he sat there pretty much stationary looking for me.
Must've been either a brand new or really small team, as their team level was only 79 while ours is 217.

You make this game sound so damn cool. I am THIS close to taking the plunge. I haven't purchased an Armored Core game since the PlayStation original.

Sorry about the lame matches tonight guys, still learning the ropes here. Gotta practice wall boosting and scan mode energy milking some more.
I should take pictures of the Cap'n America mech I made, it turned out to be surprisingly decent for a first attempt.

Got this for PS3.
My PSN is Q_Car
Couldn't get into Dreadnoughts, so started a team called Angry Boys.

Thanks. Joined the group and immediately got like 4 cheevos lol. I spent about 10 minutes doing an order and the first mission, forgot how much fun this game was...graphics make me want a PC port. Anyway, any suggestions on a first build so I'm not too useless in a fight? Need to grind for some cash tonight.
It really is that fun. The mechs feel fantastic, and the battles between players can be really epic. There's nothing more satisfying than getting that perfect boost, soaring over your opponents head, cutting off your boost and doing a 180 in midair, then putting double shotguns in their back.
I've set Dreadnoughts to require manual approval, so if someone applies to it I'll have to manually accept them. This way I can be sure it's actually a gaffer that I let in.
posting my ride pretty generic stuff, i'll drop the gatling gun if i need more mobility.

Heh, hope you don't run into that Iron Man mech in the Japanese emblems video posted earlier.

The game is arriving between April 3 and April 18th LOL
I think so.
Anyone on the 360 want to do some Battle Royales or duels? I'm bored and don't feel like playing LoL. @_@
The second team isnt.
It really is. Once you get used to the controls/gameplay mechanics (I guess you want to stay in scan mode whenever you arent attacking) as well as get used to what type of AC you want to pilot, you're team will be pulling off all sorts of mecha show tactics.
Havent seen ultimate weapons in actions yet.
The first team has 1 more spot left since 10 left.
Interesting. I'll check the settings over my lunch break and, if necessary, change it to a password.
Someone left? Who was 10?
Okay, Dreadnoughts has been set to password only so you guys should be able to join with the password (there's still only 1 slot open). The Dreadnoughts password is: 1218
Some jack holes took one of our territories while I was at work, so I logged in during my lunch break and we recaptured that shit. Nobody takes our territory and gets away with it.

That was me. Finally picked it up today. It looks like I'm 07. PSN is Airborne-506
Buddy of mine got me Mass Effect 2 for my birthday so I've been playing that, but I have been itching to get back into an AC.
:IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE RAVENS_GAF SQUAD!:
Due to the lack of people getting on I will be kicking people out to see who will rejoin so we can have people on who actually play. Those who I am aware of that play daily will NOT be kicked. If you end up getting kicked just re-join, we need to do this to free up room for people who want to play and clear those who are not playing.
Remember the Password is N73E
If some of you feel burnt on this, don't. A lot of us feel like it is a must to keep the group alive and healthy and you can easily rejoin.

We aren't exactly hardcore. If you try to play this game like an MMO, 8 hours a day, you'll probably get burnt out pretty quick anyway (at least I would). I want people in the team that will be on at least a few days a week, as with a limited amount of slots it's kind of a waste to have people on the team that only sign on once or twice a week.
There's a GAF team that's run by AdmiralSnakBar, but not certain if they have any specific requirements or if there's space for anyone else to join at this point. The team name is Marauder Shields.
3 on 1?
We tried running a defense mission with a few people. The guy we ended up against played smart was packing some heavy hitting TE weapons, which I don't think any of us were built for. I was staggered most of the time fighting with him. I tried to flank him as I figured he'd focus on my team mates he was currently engaged with but he ended up singling me out and we ended up fighting over a river which was basically instant death as I had accidentally drawn him further away from the rest of the team.
One guy had his controller die on him and then the last man standing couldn't land a hit. He wasn't particularly fast but he must have been using chaff or something, he was basically untouchable. In retrospect we really should have played more defensively. I think we got kind of cocksure and just ran out on a hunt and paid for it when he started really using the terrain to his advantage.

I was sleeping, otherwise I'd have fucked him up. Chaff makes it more difficult to lock on, but not impossible.

Are scrap parts obtained from Story missions even worth it? The ones I got are pretty damn awful and I don't wanna waste my time on getting them if they're not even viable.
Some of them are good, but it depends on how you're building your AC.
IGN finally has their review up. They said they'd have it up by last Friday. Anyway, for those who are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxpCSX9bZ2k & http://ps3.ign.com/articles/122/1221168p1.html
They gave it a 7.5 but the actual review comes of as much, much more positive than that and rightly so.

Wow, that destructoid review is horrible.
"Here is the absolute worst part of all of ACV: After a match, the game forces you to send a message to the other players. I'm all for ridiculing these jerks, except all the messages are positive! "SUPERB JORB!!!"
really? THATs the absolute worst thing? fuck outta here with this nonsense.
Also I have yet to experience this or maybe I just skip it.
