So many retards on the servers.

Does the armor you collect work for every class or just the one you collect with?

>>149547208
>1400hp
bruh

>>149547387
Just the class.

>>149547387
It's per class. Armor acquisition rates go in order from WD, AR, Ranger, then Fencer with the best armor gain per crate.

Guys, is there supposed to be stunlocking in the game?

I keep noticing that if I get hit rapidly in succession, no matter what the damage is, it eats my wing diver's momentum. eg queen diahrrea shit clouds, laser knees, laser birds. Pretty much anything that does rapid fire and hits will turn me into a cripple.

>>149547803
Yes.

>>149547803
Happens to fencer too, getting hit with some stuff affects dashing negatively, sometimes so hard you can get stuck on the spot and die if you're not paying attention.

I wonder if the whole dash cancelling for Fencer was intended, or if they were really expecting people to move at their regular speed, like Fencer NPCs do.

>>149548124
It wasn't intended, but they let it slide. The devs are cool like that.

>>149548306

>>149548181
Now I wonder if they ever make a new game, will they "fix" dash cancelling and maybe rework dash so you can spam it within some limit, or force you to move at those ridiculous speeds.

>>149547803
If you get hit enough while stunlocked you will be knocked down as well. Always be aware if you are losing speed as a Diver and push that thruster button to escape from going stationary. The only solution for very heavy barrages like from dual MG Hectors is to just shoot at them a bit.

>>149548503
They should make Fencers not that slow in the first place. Let them be fast and can dash around without needing cancelling but has to stand still to use their weapons effectively. Meanwhile the Ranger can move at a decent pace while attacking so that all balances out. Add sprinting to the Ranger so that he doesn't have to roll around to get fucking EVERYWHERE.

NPC Fencers would be pretty neat if they dashed around all over the place due to the above changes. Everyone that isn't a Diver will still have pathing problems unfortunately.

>>149548503
In the next game the Fencers can fly like Wing Divers and can equip Whale's 150mm cannons.

>>149547208
lmao that is literally just a normal run.

>>149548816
They should just add a sprint mode for the fencer.
Add a huge delay to go in and out sprint mode, something like 4s each time, and deactivate all weapons.

That would allow for easy positioning.

>>149546943
That annoys the fuck out of me, too, they even jump infront of me to intercept my air shots.

I sincerely doubt there will be any fix for the AI, firstly because port, second because japs don't do that sort of thing. It's usually release it then ignore.

>>149550165
If you're afraid of danger close explosions, don't approach them in the first place. And, if you have to, simply put them down. I'm sure command will forgive you for mag-dumping your buddies.

Is that some kind of thing that the game calls you if it doesn't recognise you, or is there a /vg/ browser called Callsign?

So what are wing divers good at? I thought being able to fly would mean they'd be untouchable for the most part, but once that energy runs out you need to get to a safe spot immediately or you're fucked hard.

>>149558484
Armored Core basic skill #1: Boost Hop

You use the thrusters to make short jumps rather than fly. Sometimes you need to expend the energy to fly in order to survive, but boost hopping is what you should do most of the time on flat ground.

Two things you need to know:
1. When landing, the Diver will slide for a bit before returning to a walking stance. This is the short period where momentum is retained for a short while before the deceleration slows you down to walking mode.
2. The energy drain of the thrusters seems to have a set minimum whenever they are activated. Therefore it is better and more efficient to make a large leap rather than a tiny one.

The key is to make a modest jump, let go and glide, then hit the jump button again as soon as you touch the ground and repeat the hopping process. The timing is pretty lenient and how high you can go while remaining efficient is also pretty loose. Doing this properly means you keep your momentum while generating more energy than it took to jump so you can recover fully without ever stopping, at least as long as the enemy doesn't force you to make demanding moves to avoid them.

>>149559089
Any Armored Core on PC?

Is health the same as armour, or is armour like a general damage reduction stat?

How does health increase? Via armour crates?

>>149559382
PS1 and 2 ones through emulators, that's about it.

>>149560157
Yes, Armour is health. Those red crates increase your overall health after missions are completed, white crates heal damage sustained during missions.

>>149557749
About to start this. Hit me up with some general advice.

>>149560534
Buddy up with people. Much more fun with real players and coop.

>>149560534
Play mission 1 on Normal. Then play the rest of the missions on Hard and only set the difficulty back down to Normal if you get stuck on a mission.

>>149559089
It seems like wing diver overlaps alot with rangers? They're both the basic death machines, while fencers get dash n smash as well as stationary heavy weapons man. AR gets his own suite of unique stuff.

Why pick a WD over a ranger, or the other way around?

>>149560157
>>149560429
Also note that health pickups restore a percentage of your armor, so high armor characters will recover a lot more from a single crate.

>>149560656
Rangers are so much slower it's not comparable. In return they don't need to worry about energy so they can shit out ludicrous DPS from their assault rifles all day. They also heal the entire team including NPCs whenever they get a health pickup.

Divers die when they stop moving, Rangers die when they stop shooting.

>>149558484
They have the highest melee dps, laser chainsaw at point blank range will take out bug nests faster then anything else. On numerous missions where there are 4-5 nests lying and your team can't kill the bugs fast enough, WD just flying over everything and shredding the nests is the only play

How is the game on keyboard? Or should I play with controller?

>>149564769
Works pretty good on foot, vehicles take a bit of getting used to as they have this weird lag follow thing. Kinda like really bad acceleration

>>149564769
It's perfectly playable with M+KB, it even avoids having mouse acceleration like most console ports do.

Fencer takes some time to get used to though, he dual-wields weapons and each weapon has an alt-fire. I use shift and space for the left weapon and left click and right click for the right weapon. He's definitely more suited for the controllers' shoulder buttons set up.

Some endgame missions are easier as an air raider than other classes, like Monster Party and Machine Squad, but most of my weapons I got farming for other people.

If you're horribly patient, you can solo Death Queen with a Wing Diver on Inferno with Thunder weapons without ever taking damage

Ranger can also solo Machine Squad, but you need a really powerful sniper, like the Stringer

I had to look for it, but this mission is possible solo, you just have to get really lucky

Also, I have yet to see anybody mention this, but Mission 53, Crash (57 online) is IMPOSSIBLE to fuck up solo unless you are the most completely ass-in-face retarded, and you're already getting endgame weapons out of that, albeit very slowly.

It's easier to lose in multiplayer, but if you keep knocking down Erginus with L, L, R, L or R, R, L, R then it goes by much smoother. You can tell who doesn't usually use Balam by whether or not they're knocking down Erginus or just spamming L, R, L, R

Also, if you don't manage to refill your airstrike consistently one after another, then you're fucked. Seems like a pain in the ass.

What's a good place to farm armor as an Air Raider? I've been using crimson because of the massive amount of ants that spawn and it's okay but there has to be somewhere that's more efficient.

I'm on mission 13, normal. Is this mission impossible to do without a rocket lawnchair? I have AF14 and Air Tortoise, but the latter is too slow, and my rifle managed to took out first ship, and now I can't seem to hit remaining two ones.

That gun is great on any map where you can blitz an objective right at the start, like a really close dropship or tunnel entrance. Of course you'll probably have like no energy and need to recharge, but taking out a unit spawner immediately before any enemies can get on the field can make some missions way the fuck easier.

Can anybody tell me why they made this game feel so clumsy and clunky? Was it intentional, or are the devs retarded? Theres just so much dumb shit in the game that it blows me away.

>have to roll to get anywhere as 2 classes
>no sprinting
>"dash cancelling" even being a thing when Fencer should be able to just jet pack along the ground for short periods of time
>99% of vehicles handle like shit
>tons of totally pointless and worthless weapons
>lol lets put a motorcycle in the game, but make it literally undrivable
>not lettting Fencer go full Armored Core and have 2 back weapons and 2 arm weapons and unload with all 4 at once by locking his feet down in place with those ground spikes on his boots

It feels like somebody took an early PS1 game or PC game from like 1997, and just updated the graphics and nothing else.

Dont get me wrong, I love EDF, but a way more polished EDF game could be fucking incredible.

You know what is fucked? Jumping and rolling/flying being on the same button, especially when the X button doesn't do anything for any class except Fencer.

>>149651076
EDF started as a budget game. If they make another game it needs a complete rework

>Jumping and rolling/flying being on the same button, especially when the X button doesn't do anything for any class except Fencer.

Or like how the switch weapons button is different for fencer, instead of ALL classes using the same button to switch weapons and the same button for jumping/boosting

Does anyone know how to get some audio of the text in the game? Like a .wmv or .mp3 of "EDF! EDF!" or something.

>ranger npc jumps and and headbutts it as soon as it leaves the chamber

I noticed you can kind of stunlock with the thunderbow, too, but that reload time is deadly in that room. I don't know how you are supposed to do it without cheese.

That tank is lv 47 so he's playing on hardest.

Subtitles for JP Audio when

Not like you'll have any time to read them. Play through every mission once in EN and switch over to JP later.

Thanks, but I cant get that to work. I don't know about mega magic like that.

The shield does save you if you're under though.

How do Rangers take down shield bots? I haven't tried but I'm pretty sure he's too slow to ever catch up.

>>149656035

Eventually it'll probably let you catch up if you keep rolling after it, but you'll probably only have time for one shot if you start firing as soon as you can. Pain in the ass. Leave it to a wingdiver or fencer if you can.

If it's making the godzilla noise it's taking damage right?

>>149655935
If I knew japanese I probably wouldn't be playing EDF with you plebs.

>tfw found a comfy group of dudes to shoot bugs and giant robots with
Man, this is really a great coop game.

>>149656930
But what about solo?

>22 on hardest

Jesus, it was tough. How'd you guys do it? We ended up grabbing the napalm grenade launchers and napalming the tunnel exits.

>>149658520
you shouldn't play this game solo because it's flat out not as fun or interesting to play
