SCOOP! From the Pixonic Rumor Mill

Another Event on Random mode. Great.

Here are my opinions:

- Supply Drops: good! Some free stuff for everyone!

- Hangar X: cool, I like it. It's an useful thing, altough we should see at which level you can try bots and weapons. If it's at L1, for example, it's useless.

- KoH: bad. This game mode is just stupid, but it's probably a bit better than TDM that at this point HAS to be removed.

- Spectre: higly unbalanced, I hope it will be nerfed, but it won't...

- Strider: this thing it's just horrible. Its design and textures are the poorest ever seen in War Robots, along with the Hellburner. There was no need for it.

- Arbalest: useless weapon, but at least it has a very cool design. Meh.

- Dragoon: I admit that this thing it's 「deteriorated bum-bum」, but it's OP although in the latest TS they nerfed it a bit, making this weapon less game-breaking. Moreover, we didn't need other long range weapons.

- Vortex: if it's like on the TS, I like it! Quite balanced and fun to use.

- Lunar NY event: I hope it will be different from other events, otherwise I won't even bother about it. Anyway, again, we will receive free stuff and that's good!

Actually, having seen some videos of KOTH, I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Looks fun!

Specters are going to be terrible with Shocktrains I suspect. Mainly because the HP is so low and it has no permanent protection. I expect Orkans and Tulumbas to be the weapons of choice.

I'm actually curious to try the Strider out with Thunder and Storms.

Thx for info

For two reasons:

1) it's full of campers and Hydra users who do nothing more than hiding for the entire match. It's boring. Of course it's matter of tastes, so it's not the main reason why it should be removed;

2) this game cannot have 3 separate MM queues (Random, TDM and KoH) because there aren't enough players, and merge TDM with Random will make it even worse. This is the main problem.

EDIT: there's another reason: in iOS Champions League, I can't even play TDM because the MM can't find players for it! It's clear sign that almost nobody is interested in this game mode, unfortunately, at least in higher Leagues.

Hydra were annoying enough when there were only 3. Since this thing is made of glass, I expect this will mostly be a hydra bot.

Pix has managed to create a combo that will literally make it annoying to even drop in on the battlefield. I'm sure that will be a boon to revenue. Congrats! Lol

Probably Pixonic mistakenly pressed the (Moderated) Detonate button somewhere along its development path

I don't care enough to join in on the test server anymore. I know that the two new bots will break the game even further, and might quit for good this time. Still, any cliff notes on the new weapons? One was a medium Aphid IIRC (fun on a Griffin and perhaps the Rhino), but the others?

Just replying to add that 3.6 will be next week and IOS likely the week after based on this comment:

Boooooo! And I will continue to Boo because there is no mention of Workshop 2.0

The few times I played KoH, I was capping beacons while everyone save myself were in one corner, playing TDM. I wasn't at all impressed. No one seemed to care about trying to capture and hold the beacon. IMHO it was a waste of time. I only played a few sims this past Saturday, and didn't play at all on Sunday. Didn't even bother to leave feedback.

- I found Doc to be a decent platform for Vortex. In the past, I've used it like Jesse uses Aphids. Worked out pretty well.
- Arbalest received too much of a nerf. I think shooting spit wads would work better.
- I never saw Strider. Not sure why, but I never saw it on this or last weekend's test server. Maybe I missed it?
- Spectre to me, much like Inquisitor, is going to be expensive, and not worth the investment. True, it has a lot of firepower, but once that few seconds of stealth wears off, it's dead meat.
- Very curious about Supply Drops. May be the only way I can partially keep up with other players, except they'll be receiving the same drops, and still be able to stay ahead of me.

**Sigh**

I never saw the point of forcing people to these new modes by making the other modes random. What if KotH isn't fun or maybe people want to go for Beacons in BR. Pixonic should let players decide which mode they want to play instead of forcing a silly random mode on people. I rarely fight in DM. BR is much more fun. DOM has it's perks, but if you want to fight in battles that allow the game to speed along, BR is the best.

A new event!!!!!

Or how more senior players call it: Another NATASHA for my collection of level 1 NATASHAs

EDIT: NATASHA is actually already level 6 when you get it. Now I only wished they added 6-pack-league permanently into the game.
