War Robots Test Server 5-6th November 2016

I like the idea and being able to deal with both mid/long range and close range with one bot is economical. It gives us more hanger flexibility I think. In terms of pure firepower, 2 mid/heavy active weapons make those bots underpowered against fully rigged Fury/Griffin/Rhino etc, but I guess that's fair.

Short video of what those bots look like in the hanger:

Personally, I feel the swap times is good enough as-is. Otherwise, the bots could do ridiculous amounts of damage. The medium for example could fire off one set of orkans, then switch to the other set to fire off another salvo, doing 186k damage in less than ten seconds.

They look cool, animation is great, I like the idea.

Plus, tridents and molots hanging off the shoulders...Armored Core flashbacks here, and I can only hope I'm not the only one who notices the immediate similarities (strayed).

Just need double chain guns and I'm good.

I tried Quad Orkan & Quad Trident (With little success).

I like them.
The medium bot feels a little slow or a little squishy.
Perhaps the swap time can change by 1 second per level up on the bot.

Tried them, don't really like them. Heavy max hp is only 150k, too squishy to be a brawler, so I guess we will see more campers/snipers with the heavy bot.

Medium too was squishy, if you use Orkans chances are after your first clip before you swap, you probably be losing some weapons lol.

Tried Aphids patton in TS for comparison, still tearing people apart.

That being said, the swap animation is super smooth and cool.

I like the idea of the medium with orkans/tarans. See a physical shield=orkans, see a energy shield/reload orkans = tartans.

Not sure about the heavy I like to play close so I guess I would have something to shoot while I'm closing to thunder range. I'm guess the support folks *cough campers * might like a "Oh Crap they're close" option.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head. At knife range Britbots and rhinos will chew these bots up and spit them out, but for a few limited encounters out far, maybe time to get all four volleys in, recharge once and do it again before you're dead...could be interesting.

Details. BAH!

Fair point. I, for one, will continue to walk in my robots. Or perhaps even jog if they're high enough level.

I hope these bots make it to live server. Even if they aren't great, I like the idea of lots of variation. The medium will be pretty awesome in silver tier, I think.

I understand Pix made the HP low and makes them lose weapons fast so that they won't be overpowered, and overall I think this is a smart move to help prevent power creep, but they could add a bit of Hp. Also, I think the stowed guns should be the last ones to get knocked off. That seems to just make sense. You lose a gun in your hand and you can switch to you other set and fight a little more.

Tomorrow, I'm going to run a full hangar the way I normally would and throw one of these in as a mid-range and see how it goes. I wish we could get some detailed stats.

I also have a subscription but didn't get an invite this week. I think this test server is for Android only.
