RE: Armored Core: for Answer - PhAYSe - 04-24-2008
I'm back with more information regarding For Answer.
First off, new regulations are up. More specifically, Regulations 1.10.
Now, I don't know the exact details about the regulation, but according to R.Leonhardt, it reduces missile's tracking ability and reduces AA's power, making them more balanced. Some parts' specs have been changed. There are too many changes to mention, since basically every part had some change in one way or another.
One of the noticeable changes is that the previously mentioned "Cheap Weapon", the Saline05, had its tracking reduced so greatly that they almost never hit full blast. What was once cheap now kinda, err... sucks.
Another noticeable change is that they improved the ability of all railguns, increasing both attack power and ammo. Just so you guys know, railguns in AC4/AC:FA are no longer the "charge" type weapons. They fire immediately, like solid rounds. What makes them different though is that they still have a firing interval (estimated 3 seconds per shot).
The biggest change, however, goes to the Grenade Cannons. All Grenade Cannon's attack power has been increased by around 60-100%. An example is the Grenade Cannon OGOTO. In Regulations 1.00, it has an attack power of 15,200 (rough estimate). In 1.10, it's been increased to 25,000 (also a rough estimate), while still keeping its normal ammo count of 30 shells. The lightweight Grenade Cannon SAPLA's attack power was increased to 22,000 from 14,800 (once again, an estimate), however, they reduced its ammo count from 18 to 12. The BIGGEST change ( and I mean BIG!) goes to the gigantic Grenade Cannon OIGAMI (seen in the video). Its attack power has more or less been doubled, from 15,800 to 30,000++ (estimate), while keeping its ammo count of 26 shells without any deduction to its awesome accuracy. According to R.Leonhardt, this cannon can do 30,000+ raw damage from a direct hit to a NEXT without is primal armor. The explosion would cause around 15,000+ damage if the shell didn't hit.
All enemy AI has been improved. The NEXTs you battle (arena-style, of course) now implement new tactics that weren't in the previous regulations.
That's all for now. I shall post once again once I get more information.

Whoa! Thanks for the info. So does it seem that From's listening to its fans' complaints now?
RE: Armored Core: for Answer - PhAYSe - 04-24-2008
It seems so. People were abusing the Saline05 online, considering its tracking was terrific in 1.00. They never even needed to switch to their main weapons with it, with the exception of going against machine gun/gatling gun/chain gun/gatling cannon users since the missiles would blow up before they launched, dealing a large amount of damage to self.
Oh yeah, remember that back-mounted Gatling Cannon in the video? The one with the slow bullets? Its been sped up significantly. It can now fire 3 shots in 1 second, as opposed to 2 shots/second in 1.00. Oh, and everything about the slug gun has been improved. I've been receiving 1,100+ damage per shot from that thing when it was used against me, as opposed to 900+ damage from 1.00. And it STUNS... BADLY!!
Added tidbit: The best shotgun in AC:FA is called Sampaguita~

RE: Armored Core: for Answer - maitreya - 05-01-2008
Yep it is. At least that's what I remember.
RE: Armored Core: for Answer - Serene - 05-02-2008
Ok na Sampaguit kesa Champaca or Kampupot.
RE: Armored Core: for Answer - Black_Flame - 05-06-2008

RE: Armored Core: for Answer - R.Leonhardt - 05-06-2008
yah. R.leonhardt has officially mastered the pressure control boost mechanism!!!
purpose:Aside from style,it could be used for efficiency because at times when you want to hover,you do not necessarily need full power to lift your AC. maybe 25% will be enough to keep you up. lol

Even the radars are exaggerated.
Btw, what is Kojima? Kojima missiles, Kojima cannons, etc. Sorry if I don't know.
Also, do you need a file of AC4 to get all the parts in AC4:FA?
RE: Armored Core: for Answer - R.Leonhardt - 05-06-2008
Kojima my friend is a particle which powers the AC's Primal armor. It's a new military weapon based thingy which can be used for defense and offense. Also,at the present time,it replaces the fossil fuel as an energy product.
And no.. you can only import DESIGN and PAINT data.
RE: Armored Core: for Answer - maitreya - 05-07-2008
Oh, ok. Thanks.
Now I need a PS3. haha
