The sky is falling again. Gotcha. If you say the sun won't rise the next morning every night you might be right eventually... I own a few storms now. Looking forward to levelling and playing them. Will let the forum know if this is the one that breaks the game. I'm running a 9/9 Storm Bulgasari. Up close it is an obliterator.

Did the fury lose because it has a larger surface area and therefore absorbs more pallets, meanwhile the bulgusari’s sheild is absorbing a few pallets?

If they do the same damage over time, then the Storm is superior, it is a medium weapon. Balance literally doesn't exist in this game. Apathy is building in me. Naturally there was going to be a catch with this new weapon as there will be with most of the new stuff coming. There is a catch with Pix with just about everything they do. The Pix conveyor belt is at full speed now in order to maintain a certain level of revenue. New bots first and now a series of weapons. Old/older bots and weapons will be rather quickly replaced while the supply drops and the components market is going to be inadequate to keep up with the pace of release. So reach for your valets people if you want the latest and the best. Balance is no longer a priority. At this stage IMO priority /focus is on revenue via new releases. There is simply no time to balance the game. Time would also mean that people would catch up with the meta via the collection mechanism and Pix would lose revenue.

I feel the power creep has gone up and the game's TTK has taken a nose dive. What's urgently needed is at least a 5% in increase of HP in all bots, and if that is not enough, another 5% till a sense of balance is restored.

You just love the Strawman. I say the Storm performs as well as the Thunder, and you say I say the sky is falling. Literally. It makes me laugh, you weren't in debate club were you? Anyway, the Shocktrain has broken War Robots, this is just evidence how the game has zero balance, not that it broke the game. We waited and saw about the power of Dash robots. I was right. You weren't. We waited and saw about the prices of Dash robots. I was right. You weren't. We waited and saw about the power of the Ember. I was right. You weren't. So yeah, let's do wait and see now, since it means I am right as you've never shown an ability to process an argument and just strawman everything. So this is just wait and see how good Bronze is at predicting things. Because I am not nostradamus or lucky, I'm just educated and have predictive analytical skills. And I want to add to that list, let's add the Storm to that list and I'll just copy pasta into it my next thread when StrawPanda shows up.You don't mind if you I call you StrawPanda, right? And all I said was I look forward to trying them out. They sound strong. And of course, I like to keep track of all the things that have broken the game. Everytime you post you sound just like this guy. I guess I'll see you in game since you play "at the top of Android". Cheers bub. [ hit the nail on the head. Lols

Faced a Tharnage in a lv5 tri-storm lv7 haechi in gold 2 and gobbled him up. It is pretty strong. Time will tell but I'm betting on a nerf first though.

Pix wil have no problem at all nerfing the Storm. If they raise the price on them, sure. But it's a cheap weapon, all things considered. So with a nerf, much less of blowback.

I've only got 1 Storm to level 7. So far it's a pretty meh weapon. At level 7, an Orkan was a serious killer. My second Storm is at level 1, so it'll probably be another 2 weeks before I can field 2 decently leveled (for me that means level 8) Storms. I'll likely run them on a Rog. I don't think I'll have the patience to build another Storm via components though. Is a Bulg with 3 Storms that good? I love the burst damage my Orkan Bulg has. Where I usually fall short is when I over extend into red territory and I get outnumbered. I can see 3 Storms giving me longer life cause I have to play it differently, but will 3 Storms really match 3 Orkans in damage?

Sigh, behave folks. Reduce snark level please.
In any case, comparing Orkans to Storms is like apples and oranges. Different play styles are required.

Thunder has more spread while storm has less and fires faster. Also, the bulgasari in the vid has some of the thunder hitting the shield, but even without I think the bulg would've won. Also, the shocktrain is to the trebuchet as scourge is to the zeus except scourge is dps while zeus is burst. I also feel like the only suitable bot for the storm weapon are the korean bots because you need something that will allow you to quickly get close to your enemy like how a thunder carnage has its rush ability. update: I did some testing for comparing the storm and thunder: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 12 Storm: 8832 damage per shot | 15 rounds in 10 seconds = 132,480 total damage | Reload time = 10 seconds Level 12 Thunder: 14,720 damage per shot | 9 rounds in 10 seconds = 132,480 total damage | Reload time = 10 seconds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I'm pretty sure the reason the bulgasari won was because it's side shield blocked some of the hits from the fury's thunder. Conclusion - storm does same amount of damage as thunders in 10 seconds which is the total amount they can fire in a full clip before going into a slow state of firing. The storm would actually be better in cases where the enemy has a sliver of hp left and it comes down to whoever lands the shot first. Also, I tried looking at the spread for the storm and thunder and they seem about the same. Test Server had the Storm from lvl 8 @ 5190 dmg per, so if 10% was added to each level up to 12, that would make it 7598 dmg not 8832. So they either bumped it up or perhaps you including the reload time to your total dmg, etc.

It has become my favorite bot to spawn at a busy beacon. But it really is a pure knifer...it hates distance just like the Thunder Carnage. Love the sound of the Storms. It almost sounds like the shotgun with silencer that was used by the scary weirdo killer in 'no country for old men'.

Once I'm done bringing my Hover to a playable level, I'll get back to working on my Storms. It's too bad that I can't get just Storm components though. I only need 1 Hover, and they keep bundling them together.
