PACT Regulations for LR Two-on-Two

[Serene]

How about a maximum of 30 harpy shots per team. It's like if one AC has a harpy2, the other guys can't equip a harpy or a harpy2. But if one equips a harpy1, the other guys can still equip a harpy1.

Doesn't matter whether it's harpy1 or harpy2. Point is that 2 sets of harpies raining down laser fire kills tanks too quickly.

I'm not really fond of the swapping ACs rule, but whatever. If teams can't do it because of conflicting controls, that's something that that team should deal with.

I take it that we all agree to impose limits on orbit cannons? The question now is what kind of limitations to impose.

Some options:

1. Only one AC in a team can carry HARPY1/HARPY2. But this AC may still carry HARPY1+HARPY1, HARPY2+HARPY2, or HARPY1+HARPY2. HARPYs can still be carried by this one AC even if there are YASYAs or the OC arms in the team.

2. Only one HARPY or one HARPY2 can be carried PER TEAM. This single HARPY can still be carried even if there are YASYAs or OC arms in a team.

3. Only one AC per team can be carrying any number of Orbit Cannons.

4. Only one of any type of Orbit cannon can be carried per team.


I'm ok with either rule 1 or 3. Feel free to suggest something better.

Hasn't been resolved yet.

And maybe an outright ban on HP for two-on-two? (though admittedly, WRAITH makes a decent replacements ).

I sort of like the thought of another 2-on-2 tournament soon.

[J.E_Magog]

Why not ban the Harpies altogether? Or maybe just treat it case by case basis nalang.

At para mabawasan din ang death rate, subukan nyong gumamit ng single wield ACs(parang old school ACs). Ban dual weapons and maybe EO cores.

[NiX]

You know what? That sounds REALLY good.

EO is sort of OK since they usually come with crappy stats.

But I really like the idea of banning all left-hand guns in this case. Banning both HARPY1 and HARPY2 for simplicity sounds good too.

I love it! What do you think, guys?

[Mjting]

lol...harpy. wish we didnt exploit it last tourney. lol.

hmmmm, don't see anything wrong right hand only stuff. kinda takes away the fun that dual wielding has tho, but it opens up further possibilities with the back weapons.

so if theres a no lefty rule, is tp gonna be allowed?

[Moonlight_Raven]

having the rule of "no left arm weapons", with the exception to the laser blades and shields, of course... sounds very good, acceptable ..for a change i can visualize this as a ala-AC1-AC2 style gameplay. it will also "force" others to maximize blading.

EO are no problem, not a very threatening option, it should stay as a part of design as the player wish (if EO cores will not be allowed..it means fewer core choices), same with the OB

harpy and harpy2, i think those things kills tanks like mad..not a very good scenario it can be out of the game.

about the TP in this case, it can stay...


=^.^=

[NiX]

I say just totally ban TP for simplicity.

The reason we allowed TP for bladers in our 1-on-1 rules was to promote blading and single-wielding. In this case, that doesn't apply.

[Grim]

You know what? That sounds REALLY good.

I like the idea a lot too. Since we tend to spam the dual weapons the first chance we get, this ought to make the battles more interesting. Also, something new.

Question: ban all left-hand guns, or just ban dual wielding?

[NiX]

Probably ban everything on the left.

Let's say they only have a left-hand gun, they can still pair that up with their backweapon. LGL+left-hand gun is still dual wielding.

oh I get it NiX.. TP provides ridiculous speeds, gives too much advantage on back pedallers.. hihihi

I say, even on 1-on-1, i really kinda like this no-left arm-guns rules maybe because i'm tired of dual wielding and missing the "spirit" and "essence" of the true Armored Core game.


=^.^=

[NiX]

I dunno about single-wielding in 1-on-1. But I really like the idea for 2-on-2. And I already have a good idea for a design. Hahahahahah.

[J.E_Magog]

TP provides ridiculous speeds, gives too much advantage on back pedallers.. hihihi

Also think of LR's weapon accuracy. Baka wala pang tinamaan after 5 mins

Just allow blades, shields & even rockets, anything w/o a lock on.


And BTW, what if someone wants to use weapon arms? Diba dual weapons yun @_@
