The results are finally in for Queen Drac Wraith‘s second aesthetics ACDC. A total of 93 ACs were entered all in all.
That’s a lot of ACs.
Hit the jump for the list of all the winners!
Submissions are over, and it’s a whopper – 51 93(!) ACs strong for Queen Drac Wraith‘s second aesthetics ACDC. I’m assuming most, if not all of those are present in that sweet superimposed image up top. Hit the jump to see the entire stipulations list.
In a post-Verdict Day world, it’s good to see activity for the whole range of AC titles still going on (even if they’re not tournaments in the traditional sense).
Any AC is good!
After months of silence here on the blog end of things, I feel compelled impelled to give a short update.
Simply put, if you’ve ever been a giant robot fan, you need to go see this movie. Suspend your disbelief for two hours (it’s very easy), and enjoy the ride.
Fan-tastic.
UPDATE: Alright, so basically, everything’s now back to normal. We’ve migrated hosts, forums are back up, and regular activities can now resume.
Carry on.
OK, so that was definitely not expected. RR’s getting too big for her britches.
Basically, we’ve outgrown our hosting, what with the advent of ACV, and all the new members/players coming into our very happy little corner of the interwebs. So in short, all those 500 Server Internal Errors and slow, laggy days were due to too many people accessing the same site all at the same time. Growing pains, plain and simple.
While we work out the exact details of an upgraded hosting package, I’ve turned off the forums for now, since that seems to be the main culprit. Bummer, I know, but as of now, that’s the only thing we can do.
Keep your cool, ladies and gents. We’ll be back as soon as we can.
ACV was finally patched.
There’ll be no indication, and the game will still say “1.01” on the lower right corner, but the stats have definitely changed to match Japan’s 1.03 version.
Thank you, Namco Bandai.
We’ll stop whining.
For now.
A huge surge of creativity outside designing ACs in RR. A lot of effort went into designing emblems, including those of RR mascots Sophie and then others. Eye popping effort done by RR’s resident artist Trace-02, each one of the emblems are original RR characters that are completely ogle/drool worthy. Take note that most of the emblems in the gallery are composed of 2 layers. Take a look at the awesome emblems after the jump:
Beyond parts and performance there’s also vanity, and ACV attempts to satisfy the last urge with a new DLC garage. So far the Desert Base is confirmed to be out in Japan for some time now, reminiscent of an operation in some war-torn arid region, or a botched up Raven Republic summer BBQ party, the garage seeks to satisfy those with a preference for warmer climates. Hit the jump for a video of this new place to store your AC.:
It seems that the Armored Core community’s outcries have been heard, somewhat, as the massive online-only bosses have finally been scheduled to be unleashed outside of Armored Core V’s Japanese servers. DLC packs are now available as well, though they’re just the packs that came with the pre-orders.
Though these recent developments are highly encouraging, we still don’t have the long-awaited balance patches, so please continue the effort on the Namco Bandai support forum.
Now to whet your appetites for this weekend, I’ll leave you with this video of one of the bosses in action.
