Hi guys, Just want to share some thoughts with you. Did you think about things like features and improvements that Pixo didn't do but could significantly improve the game. War Robots is in a stage when there are very little bugs to fix. But Pixo puts most of the development effort into introducing new unneeded bots and weapons that will take plenty of time to balance. Instead, here are some ideas that could be implemented long ago: - Match Replay
After ending of each game you can view a replay of the game by spectating not only yourself but any pilot in the match (switch bots while watching the record).
You can also be given an option to upload the replay to a cloud where it can be shared (others can view the record from the their War Robots app)
- Detailed Battle Statistics
Give more statistics- how much damage you did with each bot/weapon, play time with each bot/weapon, accuracy of your hits and so on (can be per match and overall). - Self-Customized Skins
Give option to customize (design) your bot's skin yourself. Instead of paying au for pre-designed skin like now, just pay au for one time option to design your own skin.
That's just some ideas.. The potential of this game is very high. What do you think? |

Heck, I would just be happy with a Match Maker that actually worked..

Only thing that needs to be fixed ( there are many things that requires fixing but this would help out a lot compared buff or nerf to certain weap or bot) is match making. Tankers against tankers,whales against whales and people playing fairly can still enjoy the game.  |

The replay feature would be very interesting for Youtubers. Save the replay to your device and mess around with the camera angles and whatnot just like Pixonic does in their videos.
Also the custom skin design probably would take a lot of data, just saying. However it would be neat to recolor existing paintjobs by being allowed to adjust the hues of it, like making the Blue Navy skin on a Fury red or green, etc.
Edit: Also perhaps an exclusive skin for each bot that lets people know you're a clan leader or officer. That would be neat

1. Would require a ton of server space, hence costing money. They don't have a history of implementing any sorts of improvements that cost money or reduce revenues.
2. I have no idea why they haven't. Lots of players want this, I don't think it would cost anything since they store the data on their end already for internal uses. It would simply be a matter of linking more data points to the player profiles. My only guess is they want the players to have as little data as possible so you can't figure out the matchmaker.
3. As minimal as it would be, it would cut into revenues. Would probably also require some very unnecessary resources to add a skin customization engine to the game. I like the idea as a novelty, but would much rather see them put the effort into something more important.
P.S. I am not saying any of your ideas are bad. I absolutely love all three of them actually. Just providing some insight as to possibly why they have never considered any of them.

Regarding the required high resources for game replays, sorry but it is not much conviencing. If this was done in games 15 years ago (i.e. C&C series) than today, with highly advanced storage and networking technologies, it is just an excuse not to do it. Hell, they can even just limit to 10 records per player so all data space will be always limited. Or just let it be stored on user's device, no cloud. |

I'm not familiar with exactly how much space it would take. But it would cost money nonetheless. Either in extra storage(even a little), or just in the development time of building the feature. I can't think of the last update where even a piece of the update wasn't directly linked to profit. Here is a sample conversation of how things go at Pixonic. Developer: We thought up this awesome feature. Based on market studies, it will increase player happiness by 50%! Executive: How much can we charge the players for it? Marketers: Well nothing, it doesn't add any power, it's just a cool feature that will make players more happy. Executives: No. Developers: But it will only take 30 minutes to write the code, from concept to implementation will cost less than $1,000! And it will make players so happy! Executives: Is there any way we can charge the players for it? Developers: No, it isn't something anyone would be willing to pay for. Executives: Scrap the idea. Let's work on a bot with two heavy and two medium hard points, and make it have a stealth dash with an ancile shield. When that's done, make a heavy Shocktrain. Next person that comes to these meetings with an idea we can't charge for can clean out their desk, but leave the vodka. |

Well at least it gave me some laught. |

Cool post! Of course they could do more!!! Maybe they will... 1) You trying to put all those you-tubers outta business? Theres already too many to watch! Seriously though, every game I watch is a game I didnt play. Everyone has those killer moments to share (including me) but why does anyone wanna see my moves? Im not THAT important, is anyone? 2) Supposedly were suppose to get more stats... I love stats... but what we want and get are often two different things in War Robots. 3) I would love to make my own skin or create my own color scheme but Im sure others would abuse this and to 'pubic hair', 'Breast' or skins with what appear to be huge weiners or even Swatstikas as a sort of 'free speech' test. |

Battle Bay added match replays some months ago. And not just for your last fight; there’s a battle log listing stats of all battles and they can all be replayed. Not sure how they did it but they did.
What I would like in a replay feature is a free camera option so I could get a birds eye view and watch how the bots move out and see the whole network of fire. That would be the biggest help for me in developing new strategies.

1.Mach replay - this can be done even by saving the last battle on players device. Then offer to save it or discard after battle, similar to car racing games. No space on servers, no extra connection needed, just some space on the device. A feature that can be disabled in options menu.
2.Detailed battle statistics - agreed, and make those have impact on league rating.
3.Skins - the more, the better. My favourite way of spending gold.
I'd like a voice-chat feature in the game. To go further, with a feature that a players battle indicator responds to the pilot speaking.

Custom skins, really? Hell, I would be happy to have a filter in my hangar for heavy/medium/light bots or weapon type. |
