Patch 1.02

Niji Wrote:Since I've mentioned patch 1.02 quite a few times around here, I figured I'd at least try to translate the general patch notes that FROM SOFTWARE released with 1.02 however long ago. This patch is only on the JP servers right now and I have no idea if it's going to hit the other servers or not. I would imagine that it will be brought over after another few weeks (if not sooner), but maybe it won't be. I don't know.

ACV Patch 1.02 was released to the JP servers on February 24th, of 2012.

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - Grim - 03-27-2012

Sniper rifles and BRs gets buffs to their ranges. That's deadly, especially considering that they pretty much have damn good attack power.

Hope it comes out this weekend.

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - Mjting - 03-27-2012

I thought BRs were gonna get attack buffs, but this buff seems to be okay.

NOOOOO nerf to shotguns, but I think it's really to be expected as theyre pretty insane at the moment. So nerfing insane should still make em viable.

Liking the EN consump buff to the pulse MGs too. Makes sustaining fire easier now.

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - Lord_Leperman - 03-27-2012

Thank goodness for the 2 gatling gun nerfs. Having rifle power with the speed of an MG for almost the same accuracy is just too much.

Handguns do need love, the lock time on those things are atrociously slow for something light and small.

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - atdsutm - 03-28-2012

they didnt have to buff battle rifles, the nerf to gatling guns will make them good already.

and also they didnt have to subtly nerf HW RJs

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - Hell Heart - 03-28-2012

Leg types needs some changes IMO. Some heavy Bipeds are way better than Medium Bipeds in terms of overall speed while Medium bipeds just gets turning speed and less defense.

I sorta think that this game favors tanks and heavies more than other leg types.

RE: ACV 1.02 (JPN) - Zefyr - 03-29-2012

If they give defense buffs to all the other leg parts, like instead of defense ratings for a Midweight Biped legs of, say, KE - 1000, CE - 100, TE - 100, the latter two should be higher, something around 600 I guess to push the defense ratings to at least past 1000 for a KE defense oriented Midweight Biped. Lightweights get a smaller buff, since, well, they're lightweights, but it might make other builds more viable. Or just generally buffing the lacking defense of all the other legs would be nice. I'm a heavyweight just because it adds moderate defense across the board, but if I could I'd make a lighter build. That and the fact that with High Power boosters I flit around like a midweight anyway, which I think is an issue in itself as well. Le sigh~

From Software being lazy. Instead of working on all the medium bipeds, just nerf the best one. IMO, with super lowered AP and Defense, it should be considered a Light weight Biped now. Oh wait, we already have one!

RE: (JPN) ACV Change Log - NiX - 03-29-2012

I dunno about being lazy. FROM itself is very involved in the JPN server. They even have their own high-level team, which means that they're well aware of metagame trends. I think they'd be in the best position to know what needs patching.

what about HW RJ? i hope they know those are useless atm.

RE: (JPN) ACV Change Log - NiX - 03-29-2012

I've seen those being used by the Japanese as well.

RE: (JPN) ACV Change Log - Zefyr - 03-30-2012

>Plasma Gun
-Decreased Ammo (Shouldn't be too bad... unless they made them like, 10 - 20 ammo now ._.)
- INCREASED BULLET VELOCITY
- INCREASED BULLET TERMINATION RANGE
- Decreased Damage of AoE explosion (Also fine with that, it has to hit dead on to do respectable damage anyway, also damages you less if you shoot at point blank.)
- REDUCED EN CONSUMPTION

Yes please OwO
