AC: How Do You Train?

[Grim]

While we're on the subject of getting better at the game, I'd like to expand it a bit more. For me, Armored Core boils down to two things: designing and piloting.

Designing is easier to get better at IMO. It can be done through reading the proper material, and being influenced by the proper environment. From there, you can make informed choices as to what parts to use, and then your own original style can develop from that. After all, although some of us may have learned by simply just diving blindly into the game (which does have its benefits, lol), most learned from emulating something.

What's important is not to get caught in stasis. Tulad sa lahat ng bagay, merong vertical at horizontal growth. Kapag nagcoconcentrate at nagfofocus sa pagdedesign para sa isang leg set or weight class, lumalalim yung knowledge at experience nung player, vertically speaking. Pero importante din yung horizontal growth. Expanding your horizons, kumbaga. Gawa ng bipeds sa simula, sige. Pero sana pagkatapos nun merong sumunod na RJs, quads, tanks at hovers.

Piloting, mas mahirap madevelop, lalo na dahil yung AI na nilalagay ng From sa laro, hindi magaling magturo. Blind rushing lang ang alam nung karamihan, at sobra sobra pa yung nilagay nilang additional abilities. Ang nangyayari tuloy, hindi natututunan nung player kung pano maglaro tactically. Walang development ng use of cover, booster control, range control, etc. Dahil dun, tulad ng nasabi na, mas maganda talaga kapag kalaban mo tao.

Pero since minsan ko lang magawa yun...
