From the latest test server:
— New robot Exorcist (lvl 8): durability: 86.000, speed: 58 km/h, ability: Descend (Jump+Stealth 5sec), cooldown: 20sec, 4 medium slots
— New robot Strider (lvl 8): durability: 118.000, speed: 58 km/h, ability: Dash (5 charges), cooldown: 12sec, 2 light slots, 1 heavy slot

Huh.
First was the age of silver
Then came the age of gold
Some where in between WSP bots came into existence
After some time the age of components came into being.
Korean bots came first,
Then came the Inquisidor,
The age of energy weapons followed the new bots,
Hover and storm came after,
The age of energy weapons is starting to close as new shotgun weapons come into play
Gust is planned to be in the live server,
And next comes theses two new bots

Holy! 4 medium weapons??? That isn't OP. That is OK, as in Over Kill! Sure, it's a glass cannon, but come on! Can you imagine 4 Shocktrains on it?? Let alone 4 Tarans or 4 Orkans. With that little HP, I can see people stocking up on Shocktrains. And when the heat gets too hot, jump and stealth away.
As for the Strider. 5 dashes??? 「whiskey tango foxtrot」?

Don't worry about the glass cannon part. It'll receive a healthy HP boost before hitting the live server. Or maybe they'll slap an Ancile on .. |

Wow..I did t gave feedback last week so didn’t got a invite this time but really wish if I would had..4 slots with a stealth mode..seriously pix ?now unless this bot is slower than rajin ..but if your given stats are correct 58 km/h is same as some light bot with a jump + stealth.. I guess it’s no surprise that pix gave away bulg during Xmas coz it’s gonna be one old like ancilot after these new bots releases because knowing pix stats won’t lower but may increase when it hit live servers
Although that strider bot looks sounds like a fun bot, same as a kumiho ..a little weaker I guess although I can’t say anything till it hits Last Stand

Im more concerned with the Strider more than anything.. it's ridiculous to have double dash as it is and i own a Haechi to have 5 of that and face a potentially maxed out thunder or redeemer or an ember with the addition of 2 light weapons is the very definition of insanity. It is the real Dash killer this Strider
I wonder what other OP 「dookie」e mail.ru will release to counter the Strider..
It's a train literally hurtling itself towards car and for reasons.. I can't look away from this cluster「fluffernutter」 of situation. It's so bad it's good..Pixonic are really being absolutely dismantled by mail.ru

They got shredded by the Korean bots when they came out and are rare to find nowadays |

Power creep implies something slow and sneaky. Strapping 4 of the most overpowered weapon slots on a single bot and giving it an ability to boot is not slow or sneaky. The 5 dash bot actually doesn't seem (too) worrisome because it has no medium slots. A Redeemer magnum setup might be tough to handle. This bot also isn't actually on the test server currently.

That’s a serious escalation, even with the glass jaw. it just feel like Pix want 3 minute battles, not the 10 minute nail biting, last second, seesaw’s I used to love from 2 years ago. |

Uhhhh 「whiskey tango foxtrot」
4 medium slots with descend is a bit much... 3 mediums with descend is more or less in balance with the dashes

I don't know if power creep is the right word. This isn't a slow process.
This is game breaking stuff. Instantly the meta changes to something new out of nowhere. 4 Mediums on that Robot makes the Doc completely obsolete. The Strider makes the Kumiho obsolete.
I'm so glad I stopped spending on this game and didn't spend much in the first place.

Now only the Lance survives only because of the ancile and with 4 orks might as well be nothing. |

The Age of BritBots lasted a really, really long time. It first came out in August 2016 as far as I can tell, and didn't hit its stride until Nov-Dec last year. The age ended abruptly with the release of the Kbots in Sept, so that's about a year give or take. I'm glad to see the Lancelot go the way of the dodo as that is one of the most boring bots to fight or pilot. I'd imagine most newer pilots came on during this age, so didn't get to live through the Rhino or Patton or Boa as top dogs. This is a big shock to them to see their world fall apart, but those bots are pretty quaint now. |

Based on this thread:
* The bots are waaaaaay OP
* Their release is imminent
* Pixonic is stupid enough to roll this out as-is.
The only question left is: How much will these cost?
If history is any indication, these will be rolling out for about $600.

Yikes... 33% increase in firepower 3 months after K-bots. Figure on a 4 heavy weapon platform in March, and then what? New code to allow a single hardpoint to slave multiple weapons? I guess when you can already flat-line your opponent in less than two seconds, 33% faster isn't really all that big of a deal. In any event, The holiday season is well timed for a War Robots break. I haven't won a game in three days, and I'm still climbing in Champion League. It'll be interesting to see how this game mutates. |

It's already been skinned so you know its going live... Ok, it's wonderful and terrible at same time. Wonderful because I really, really like the 3D model and even the animation, and it's so cool to have the possibility to shoot with so many weapons...when you staggered fire with the Tarans, it was impressive. On the other hand, it's terrible because 4 mediums are just too powerful and this bot is so mobile that it will be on you (and kill you) in seconds. |

No doubt this thing is stupid powerful. That said, the low health will be a bit of a problem for tarans and orkans. I expect it to become more of a shocktrain, scourge, or tulu platform. Heaven forbid, maybe even a hydra platform. This could be the bot that brings back the Treb Butch.
At this rate, I'm not sure how much time I have left playing this game. It isn't pix greed or the p2w mechanics. It is that the new content prioritizes brainless bots/weapons over skilled play while completely invalidating the work that players have done to acquire old content.
