This game needs a true lock on system.

[devilraylenn]

as the title says. i'm a welkin main. i fight in melee often. guees what often happens that sucks.....
yep.
you try to swing, the ennemy backdashes, and then whallops your ass.
now, you could call it a skill issue.
BUT.
the fact is that if i have a bloody hard lock on,i could follow them, and not spend an eternity moving the camera to keep up.
in a game where melee combat,dashes and high mobility fights, the absence of a true hard lock on system is a shame.
especially as an armored core player, that thing is mandatory.
so yeah, fix welkin's bloody dashes to not go crazy once you brishes the bumper, and add some quality of life with a hard lock on system.

idk, i feel like thats part of the game? what helps me is to ping them, so you dont lose track of them so easily

Use mouse, genius. This is a PC game.

the locking is horrible, I'm tired of losing kills because my aim suddenly changes to the wrong foe, they need to fix that.

I think it is designed , because it is not a real FPS game , I think the company decided lower the skill level for normal player, but the high-end player still can use different skill to play around this system

I want to say "up your mouse sensitivity" in-game but it's kinda weird cos they split it into General and per Striker so some Strikers have multiple sensitivity settings.

That is a problem and really bothers me... When its the hurricane its ok, its his mechanics, but sometimes the game simply decide to switch my aim in the middle of a fight to another mecha and its super annoying!

[OrangeBoxCat]

Lock-on system is terrible it's have delay before full lock so annoy and if target leave your circle on screen lock-on is completely dead until the target get in circle again

I know this game try to be armor core but not even close

[sonicnextgen72]

I guess some guys have never heard of personal preference. I second this suggestion; there is no point in not having it. Especially for controller

[James Tatsumi]

Getting out of your lock on is a counterplay available to them. By adding a hard lock that makes sure you're always on them will in turn make the game harder for the enemy.

I don't think that having or not having that system is better than the other, just a matter of preference.

What does mouse or controller have to do with anything? All the mechs have a maximum turn speed, beyond which it doesn't matter how high your mouse sensitivity is; they're still going to turn slower than you can move the mouse. Also...the game's going to launch on console, too. If you're going to be snarky, at least be right.

To OP, though, that's just part of the game. If you're fighting in melee and your enemy dashes behind you, instead of standing there trying to slowly turn around to keep them in your sights, just assume they're about to attack you and dash away (preferably, behind them, to turn the tables). You don't always need to be able to see the opponent to anticipate where they are, and act accordingly.

Plus, if you could stay permanently locked on to someone and turn on a dime, no one would ever escape from a Welkin box. Being able to juke around is the counterplay, so it's the way it is for a reason.

just cause it's a PC game deosen't mean tha tyou gotta play it with mouse and keyboard. game was studied for cotnrollers first and foremost.
and it woudln't save you from a panther or a falcon either way.
so my point still stands.

you're quite incorrect on that point. welkin having a lock on wouldn't make him inescapable, just harder to deal with. you can still parry him or flash him.
