Brandon Smith
So, where do I start in the AC series?
I downloaded AC2, but apparently the third is the best starting point or some shit. And then there's the one on the PS1, but I'm not sure if I should play it or not.
Juan Bell
Start with 1, 3, FA or VD. They're all moderately forgiving, 2 isn't a bad place to start but it had a few difficulty spikes.

Gavin Baker
Thanks for the answer, I'll start with AC3, as that seems like the best place to start from.
Chase Taylor
>ACFA copy is rare What. Is that supposed to say LR? Cause I see FA copies in pretty much every store that sells used games.
Caleb Wood
>Thanks for the answer
For a moment I thought this was some kind of pun.
Samuel Morales
I've no idea why it says that and I've always assumed the same. FA is dirt cheap here, Last Raven on the other hand... Well it's so non existent here in the UK that this is my copy.
Brandon Rogers
Well i'll be out doing normie stuff like drinking booze and talking, stay alive acg

Ah come on laddy, its not like Ravens don't get to spend time with their brothers. Its a shame to abandon your comardes, you wouldn't do that to your comardes right?
Ryder Bailey
I bet you are drinking with your boss or something like that, trying to win his/her favor, like all corporate slaves.

The Original Ninebreaker was correct, we need to be liberated. A nation for Ravens, a world with endless war.
Grayson Foster
It wont last long, after all a dominant will rise and became the downfall of said nation, and only he will remain to remember said nation.
Bentley Foster
Then so be it, we live and die by the barrel of a gun. Don't let something so trivial as death stop you.

You now realize that ACLR is basically a precursor to ACFA's genocide plot.
Perhaps when you're out of the third world, be prepare to embrace your eternal suffering.

Aaron Sullivan
Turn it off. Press and hold power to turn it on.
Owen Taylor
I did that before, same screen of no register. Until I pulled out HDMI, then it asked for setting change.
FA looks shit with it.
Nolan Jones
This is only a fragment of the pain you caused, I am only returning it to you.
Also SNFA will commence at 8:00pm EST, come and lets have some fun.

How do you guys hit people on FA, without facing them or getting behind them?
I'm constantly finding myself chase people down who are able to hit me from the sides or behind but I can never get into my sight range
It's not a stats issue, I have the best range, maneuverability, melee ability, etc. that I can get. But it just seems damn near impossible to get some good players in my sight range. They're always at the edges of my screen
is it that the meta is just broken in favor of stupid fast mechs that you can't actually hit? FA's online is really disappointing me
Benjamin Carter
Bump.
Ryder King
No tips at all?
I really want to be able to play FA without raging, but it seems so incredibly one-sided with no explanation why I'm taking so much damage constantly
Are other players just that good that they can never take damage but still use heavy cannons on lightweights consistenty?
Levi Hughes
or maybe the skill gap is too wide that I'm not learning whatever secrets it takes to be able to use more than rifles on anything other than a tank
Carter Powell
Are you CHF_0599 or are you NK?
Isaac Thompson
Tanks are garbage and basically put a huge flashing neon "KILL ME" sign above your head. Light bipeds have enough load capacity to take some of the heavier missile launchers in addition to two rifles and can still move faster than basically everything else. Grab two (assault) rifles, lock on to someone, and hold triggers until you get some damage in. Welcome to FA.
Xavier Bennett
Neither
Yeah, my problem is that I need something bigger than rifles. I'm losing huge against cannons every time I pull out rifles, even against lightweights. But I can't make them work for myself.
Example of what I know: >I know that VTF missiles do great to wear down PA and chase down enemies with no PA for heavy damage. So I put VTF missiles on a PA pressure build.
Example of what I'm confused about: >The VTF missiles never hit, but I've seen other players use them easily. I try to flank with them, I try to shoot them when the opponent isn't expecting, nothing. nada. Other players are just too accurate and I'm just missing constantly. How do I look for the right chance? What missiles do I combine them with? etc.
Weapons that I can't seem to get working, but kill me constantly:
1. Kamal (seriously... how do you even do damage with this?) 2. Spread Bazookas 3. Grenade launchers 4. VTF missiles 5. Spread missile extension 6. Rail cannons 7. Scatter missiles
Weapons I've had good success with: 1. Most Rifles 2. High accuracy missiles 3. Lightest sniper rifle 4. Light omer laser rifle 5. Laser sniper rifle
But those are all very low damage/dps and I just can't keep up with the damage racing
Colton Rivera
I'm mostly using those weapons on lightweight permaflight Latona or
I emphasize main and back boosters, and use weaker side boosters, so I can have permanent flight, so it's not like I'm running around using a tank or heavy with no mobility.
Jace Hernandez
You know if you been playing for long you'll be able to read the patterns of the missiles. Also VTF's are pretty easy to evade without sufficient pressure from other weapons to back them up. Perhaps we should compile a list of effective weapons but with the uncertainty of FA's latency its to best to test on your own. Yes you're not alone friendo some weapons work wonders for JP lords but for us it will never hit.
Nicholas Turner
I really want to apologize for not making SNFAs these past weeks. I'm an asshole, I know. I promise I'll make it again, but I can't make a promise on a definite date, because that might be a promise I can keep. And if I can't keep that, I'd be an asshole squared.
Nolan White

Daniel Wilson
That's fine Penny, one day you'll actually stay for more than an hour.
Carson Ross
It's alright n-k you just need to make ACs that can actually function
Easton White
But that was only once I used the junker. The one that can function(blade plus shotgun) is my own issue of skill though.
Sebastian Robinson
I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not a very functional AC
Elijah Williams
Unfortunately once you realise it can't take hits. Or dish out damage.
Henry Rivera
kek The problem with it is that it's not fast enough to utilize its shotgun or blade. Blades should only be used on bipedal lightweight ACs, and shotties should only be used on generally very fast ACs. Unfortunately I think that your AC might also be bad at retaining energy.
Joshua Rogers
friendly reminder NOT to bully heavies, ty
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Bah, I'd it looks cool, it's better than being functional. Except for half of the ones I used.
