Hmm, my memory of the turret chests is a bit fuzzy, but yeah those were probably things in Nexus era. The Nexus-Last Raven era of games are definitely my least played, as they are absolutely the most unforgiving entries in the series. I think the core differences are a good feature though, you...

I think your memory is all over the place, but that's alright - I'm getting old too. Orbital Weapons were pretty niche for sure, I don't think I ever heard of someone using them. They were internal components in the early games, 1-3, then I think they were made into special cores in Nexus and...

You could kick in Armored Core V, unless you're suggesting Armored Core V isn't one of "the old AC games." I was going to accuse you of being a fair weather fan, but it seems you were the first person to reply to my thread 6 years ago, happy to see a real fan in the sea of dark souls children...

Seeing as there will be a fairly limited amount of vertical content in game: I wouldn't mind player choice in crafting as long as crafting those "vertical upgrades" (like prefixes) is considerably expensive. I don't really like the RNG content either, but it's probably the only repeatable...

This is actually what I was referencing when I was discussing pilot progression. In the first four Armored Core titles there was a body modification program called Human+ (later called OP-I) that was obtained when you incurred excessive amounts of debt. Lore-wise, you became a test-subject...

Thanks for the response, and for clarification: vertical progression isn't inherently a bad thing - a small amount of vertical progression 10-15% increase from noob->veteran just adds a sense of progress and achievement to the game. In a horizontal setting you can consider it a specialization in...

Yes, this is exactly the type of stuff I'm talking about with Pilot Progression - the human element of the machine, it adds just a bit more depth to the game -- the ideas are great, thanks for the suggestions.

Except that's not true, I actually discussed this in Chief Chat with Ronyn and Kern and they assured me there would be Vertical progression. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are few games that do not have vertical progression. I definitely do not want much vertical progression. However, the game would get...

Regardless, it was simply another example of a form of "Pilot Progression" in the sense that the pilot is an integral component of the Omniframe as a whole.

Perks was an example, I think having some form of pilot progression in a game where you can physically exit your Omniframe makes sense. Pilot progression could even be in the form of "piloting experience" similar to what EVE has for piloting the largest ships. The longer you play, the more...

@Grummz If you've never played Armored Core, I recommend you try out Armored Core For Answer and Armored Core Verdict Day for the most modern mechanics. Here are my suggestions for mechanics that I thought worked well in Armored Core. They are all just suggestions, so you can ignore or modify...

The removal of content in general was a completely ridiculous decision that nobody aside from Qihoo360, CloudChaser and the Mystery PVP Designer agreed with. Alt-fires became redundant in that iteration anyways, but for what it's worth I would've liked to have kept them even if they were...

1.6 was a lot closer to beta than 1.3 was - so not sure how that was too far.

Yes, add a Chibi-morph - will attach a picture in a few minutes. I can find some more pictures if this one isn't clear enough. "In English-speaking anime and manga fandom (otaku), the term chibi has mostly been conflated with the "super deformed" style of drawing characters with oversized...
