Yamamura has confirmed in an interview that hard lock DOES reduce the speed of target lock, resulting in lower accuracy during faster movements.

They already announced overheating has to do with energy weapons. They don't drain your energy bar anymore. The more you fire them they overheat, then you have to let them cool down before you can fire them again. There are stats on the generator now that effect the cooldown. It was called emergency cooldown in the first gameplay trailer. But it looks like they changed it.

Did not notice half of this , this got alot better. Plus a huge campaign apparently 40-55 hours.

Later interviews are suggesting it will be about 20 hours, unsure if that's the first playthrough or includes the additional endings, but not quite the massive campaign that was reported initially. With how diverse the playstyles are now with the leg types, however, getting a few playthroughs in with each leg type should be plenty of replayability, not to mention trying out different styles of weaponry/AC.

360 is magnetic North on a tactical compass. We use bearings to quickly alert nearby units to the direction of a threat or terrain feature with a high degree of accuracy. Battle royale games have picked up this feature, but players have taken to reading them as one number rather than three different numbers, which we do to avoid conflating them with distances. I doubt the PvP will be expensive enough for bearings to be useful, so this is probably just for some extra tactical aesthetic flavor

There is some new discovery in the Japan in store demo event. 1. There are interactive elements in the maps like explosive barrel deal massive damage to the surrounding. 2. The MT mobs are now can be a big threat since they can out guns you and put you in stunt lock by numbers. 3. Producer Ogu clear that there is no hover leg and weapon arms. 4. There is elements unique to AC6 they are not announced yet and they are looking for the right timing to do it.

From what I remember, there is no official designation for Hover legs, and they were a subclass of Tank Legs. There likely will still be some Hoverlegs in the Tank category.

At the end of FightinCowboy's video, he quickly runs through all the detailed stat screens. Arm parts have a weight limit, recoil control, firearm specialization and melee specialization. Energy supply appears to now be linked directly to the generator (and renamed "energy firearm spec"), although who knows what that actually means now that energy weapons don't actually use EN and instead only seem to be limited by ammo and heat. Perhaps the generator affects how quickly energy weapons cool down.

I'd just say they switched to a different system of measurement. Going off the SDCC statue, they're about ~8 meters tall, so roughly the same as Gen 2-3. I couldn't really imagine why they'd be 4 times heavier other than "in the future, we now use NuMetric" or something, lol.

The OST upgrades seem VERY unique in their customization too. I don't know what the limit is on them, but assuming you cannot just have everything on at once, having the ability to kick vs the ability to have increased healing values directly impacts your game play. A tank with 17K AP and 50% more healing is extremely durable where a light AC with 7K AP might not even be able to utilize the increased healing without dipping into scary AP values before healing. Like sure if you are getting slowly chipped away you can wait until you have 500 AP left and heal for almost all your health in 1 go, but if you get staggered or just take a big burst of damage which does over 2k, lets say, you might just die outright (There is an OST that lets you survive with 1 AP mind you!). You might be better off with different OST tunes that add more value since the default heal might be good enough. Basically my point is, the type of AC you build goes well beyond your parts. The OST feature looks to be an incredible way to synergize the overall vibe of your build. I curious what the manual aim is supposed to be used for. Maybe there are weapons which are hard to land hits with because of the lock on system and how slow their velocity is (meaning they are susceptible to missing a lot due to slight movements), but manually aiming them is easier, or with huge AOE effects that you want to just aim it at the ground near your opponent instead of whiffing it past them.

So fire/overheating status effects probably work the same as bleed/frost effect where it takes a chunk of damage from your AP pool and possibly debuffs.

No poison and oh even deadlier poison; if my mech is damaged by acid I don’t want it to be the same as pulse radiation, plasma, or heat. I think the effects should be: - Pulse damage should act as an electronic disrupter, reducing mech effectiveness in battle (think accuracy, vision, and missile guidance). If radiation is a thing, this but add damage over time. - Plasma damage should act as the frost/bleed mechanic of where continuous buildup results in an a.o.e discharge proc with instant direct AP damage as a percentage of REMAINING AP (High AP: “Boy you sure do have a lot of sensitive electronics! 15-30% of 9000AP!” Low AP: “All my electronics are fried to bits already. What’s 15-30% of 0347?) That or just a flat damage. - Fire/Overheat should be the poison of the game, proccing as a damage-over-time until the heat status bar returns to 0, and have it return quickly or give them an OS upgrade for cooling/status resistance. - Acid/corrosion hazard is like Heat buildup but it’s DOT is light; what really makes it bad is that it reduces damage negation very badly, and procs instantly, where any amount of corrosion does this debuff until status reaches zero. This would be great in combo with Pulse Radiation (which I think one of both should be the Scarlet Rot of the game, where your mech literally melts away) - Hacking/EW should the same as pulse damage but acts as a debuff rather than a status effect like the rest of them, meaning if it sticks it will stay for a long time unless properly addressed. There should also be variety on the specific effects that Hacking/EW does to everyone. Speaking of which Radar/EW jamming and counter-EW should be a mechanic, but this last thing might be a lot to ask at this stage of development.

I really hope there are still hover legs, not a deal breaker if there aren't tho

After seeing how tank legs move in this game, I honestly think that those may be tank legs in that clip from the gameplay trailer. Perhaps they may be unlocked later on in the game but for right now it seems very unlikely.

About the melee weapons overheating: they really want everyone to play with both melee and ranged weapons, enforcing a more varied (and thus fun) gameplay loop of being faraway from the enemy, building stagger, and then punishing upclose, with melee and more, when they are finally staggered. This is further emphasized by the fack that ACs can now carry more weapons than before, in general, so you can have options for both staggering and dealing damage when they are staggered.
