So I bought it and I can't even figure out how to join a battle. That might be the shittiest UI in the history of gaming.

About 10 of 0uter.Heaven/I.H/0.H. Academy moved to verdict day in the last two days, more to come.
For the first 4 hours I was distraughtly and utterly confused
The next 6 I became acutely aware of the UI/ about a quarter through the story and had about 2 stable mechs
4 hours later I was 75% through the story, had 5 fully adept mechs, and played decently in a few pvps.
Playing the game by yourself is atrocious and a sin as you'll be lost for hours and days.
But because Radar has been around since AC1 he coached us all up and in the first 24 hours became pretty adept at the the game. A few more days into it and we will be PvPing in no time.
Ask radar if you can join us for a few days and we could help ya out. This is definitely a co-op game.
Hmmm. The Meta is strong with this one...

Uhhhhhh it says down below, several options after world map, story mode? How can you not figure that out? All you had to do is read. Maybe you shouldn't play ACVD unless you've played before. Cause if you can't figure out how to do a regular sortie, then you aren't ready to play ACVD.

I have yet to see a story mode. I saw sortie, but non were available. It seemed like you had to join a team and wait for them to deploy you somewhere because you are a rookie recruit.
There's a map, but it's not really clear what's going on. I wasn't able to find a way to launch a battle there.
To be honest I didn't mess with it long. There's no reason to be a **** about it.

The game is like dust. You get a lot of **** shoved in your face that you gotta figure out for yourself. Once you understand just a small bit you can learn as you go.
Quick rundown.
Sortie is how you deploy into missions. Use this to take your mech into a battle. The sub menu brings up different game modes. Normal/special sortie is where you go online and have the potential to have PvP battles. Story is where everyone should start. This will set you on an increasingly difficult journey that will teach you to become a better pilot.
Workshop is where you can customize your mech. Lots of self explanatory options like shop, paint, and assembly. You will spend a lot of time here after you unlock new parts.
Free battle is PvP. This is where you go to practice your builds in a semi competitive environment. The rank leaderboards battle also take place here but are not active.
That's a quick few of the options you should be using until you decide you want to enlist to join a clan. Then all you have to do is go to team/player data. Navigate the menu till you find enlist. Just like in dust you either apply and get screened or you get accepted right away. Some clans use a password and you would have to contact any member to acquire that pass.
Hope that helps Thor I would never reccomend a ****** game. Just like dust the learning curve is high but once you learn the basics and practice S ranking the story missions the game is highly addictive. |

Ok, fair enough.
The map behind you is the World Map. It consists of three factions that fight for control over land through Armored Core's "seasons". After the season is over it restarts. It's sort of like PC with a touch a MAG. PC because you're fighting for land. MAG because you have to select one of the three factions to fight for without knowing who's all involved in the team.
There's a selection that allows you to pick which faction you choose to fight for. But I would suggest holding off on that until you unlock all the store parts from story mode.
To go to story mode, you select sortie. Story is at the bottom of the selection. Go beat story mode before you step into faction warring. As stated above, better parts will unlock as you complete missions. Plus story mode is a small introduction to learning how to pilot your AC. It is imperative that you know how to.
You can always hire a merc to help you on missions (if anybody is signed up, aka online) from the Signs organization. Signs is just the mercenary board that keeps lists of mercs for hire.
If you haven't played Armored Core before, read up on the different types of weapon damages. There are CE (Chemical Energy), KE (Kinetic) and TE (Thermal). KE is weapons like missiles. Thermals are the lasers. And for the life of me I can't remember what CE is now. I do know that explosive weapons do carry CE.
Your defense/offense is important when dealing with those three types. If you are fighting a primarily KE defensive AC and you have KE weapons, you will get a "ineffective" notice in your crosshairs. Basically, it won't hurt the AC. Opposite though, you will do heavy damage.
Also, if you're not fighting you should be in scan mode.
Also I don't know if you know Shocknofsky (he plays AC and Dust as well, CEO of H.Y.S.T.E.R.I.A.), but he can also help you out. He's got more background in ACVD than I do since I just recently started getting back into AC. He has helped me to get acclimated to ACVD.
Hope this information helps

Also here's a wiki on ACV, which is just about the same as ACVD. From the section Gameplay to Ultimate Weapon, I would suggest you read to get a clear understanding of how some of the fundamentals work.

I have been trying out ACVD on Radar's recommendation from a few days ago....wow, not easy to get into.
I honestly think this is less intuitive than Dust was when i started playing.
I've yet to figure out how to get through much of anything on the game with it's horrendous UI.

Yep, AC has always been not NPE friendly. Why I laughed about some comments here concerning the NPE of Dust.
I would suggest that you check out youtube videos and google search information.
As a new player you should be going to Sortie and doing story mode. Ignore everything else until you're ready.

I'm actually of the completely opposite opinion.
Yeah making AC and Sortieing is kind of tough without reading through a mountain of small text based prompts.....but the UI itself is incredible.
You have you menu's up in the top left for moving to other tabs, you have a central back ground which denotes the current conflicts of Factionalised AC pilots, where and when they are attacking, summaries and prompts for battles, with all Verdict War info present.
You have Sign's Mercenary Deployments which Q you up for some very interesting contracts and missions.
Initially confusing, very simple to navigate after a couple of hours.

For those that never heard of the title, here's a vid:

I thought it sounded interesting before it released but never looked into it. If the online community is indeed alive and well, it may hold me over until what's next (maybe Destiny).
I cannot be bought, but I can be leased.

I went on the PS Store yesterday to pick this up and noticed the price had changed from $10 a week or so ago to $20. As there are a lot of PS3 game titles now in the $20 range, I now doubt I will pick this up.

I got this game last week and I'm loving it. It has been awhile since I played a AC game (since ps2) . Very addictive, but is definitely a co-op game. If any of you have a clan going on hit me up on my PSN : Scynx. Most clans I've been in are dead, or aren't that active. |
