The the other thing from that video is Leech will still do damage though the walls but range changed to 350. Still not a fan of damage through the walls, even with limited range. DR at 90% and reflection at 35%.

Shield breaker - long time coming for Ares, but gotta be the fastest (partial) nerf ever on Fortifier module.

I haven’t looked yet, is the Shieldbreaker a single- or double-barrel crack pipe?

How does one get on the test server? Invitation? They've changed it recently to where anyone can get on there. All you have to do is go to this website and download and install the android app. It'll show up as War Robots Test. You just have to pay attention to the times that it's open. It'll say something about being in maintenance when it's not the testing times; usually I get on there Saturday and Sunday night Eastern US time and it's fine. You have to build everything from scratch as far as your hangar so be prepared to spend a while if you want pilols, etc. Here's the link from the Facebook Test Server page.

Hmm. Ares was getting easier to deal with until it got another 5 seconds of invulnerability when they bought Phase Shift out. Add the sharpshooter pilot skill for energy shotguns and it's now back to its game breaking power.
It needs a nerf, but this one will have so much collateral damage for the balanced shield bots. It will make the Ao Jun much more powerful if people have to switch to shield breaker from Quantum Radar too. They would be better off deleting the Ares entirely and dishing out refunds.

Shield Breaker: should not exist Leech: should not exist, but if it requires LOS, loses 2 of the weapons, and caps at 35% DR, it might be tolerable.
Let's let Pix know how we feel, blast this crap on TS feedback. Who knows, they might actually listen for once.

Yeah it's just more terrible business decisions. Put out Fortifier module for shielded bots. A month later, put out an Anti-Fortifier module. Let's basically waste every bit of time and effort in creating the Fortifier module for the game. Once the shieldbreaker hits the live server, sales go to zero from that moment forward on fortifiers....

Best way to balance Ares: 1) Retribution has NO base damage, can only return absorbed damage 2) When shield hits absorption limit, Retribution fires automatically and SHIELD DROPS 3) Remove Lockdown Ammo Module from the game.

this kinda 「dookie」 right here is why i would never have an entire hangar full of one bot. I only have one and if it became useless then I would just sell the stupid thing. I mean to the poor whale guy with an entire hangar he will just fill it with something else. I was going to upgrade the Fenrir but will wait to see if this stupid 「bum-bum」 idea actually comes out.

Once the shieldbreaker hits the live server, sales go to zero from that moment forward on fortifiers.... As it looks right now the shield breaker doesn't actually break the shield, but ignores it and bypasses it, which doesn't seem that bad. So I don't see it having a huge detriment to the game play. Outside of Ares, most shield bots have enough HP to deal with 5 seconds of vulnerability from one bot. Plus how many people are going to unequip Lockdown Ammo, Quantum Radar, PS, or healing in favor of SB. I guessing not a lot (I wont be) and I can see it being used mostly by sqauds to break up Ares Trains, which is what we've all been asking for. I am less encouraged about the Leech being able to hurt people through walls. That just seems unfair and ridiculous. But I guess anything that upstages the Ares and Ao Jun is going to have to be.

Shield breaker - long time coming for Ares, but gotta be the fastest (partial) nerf ever on Fortifier module. Yeah, bought three of them and maxed two. Not happy about it, but it's a small price to pay if it gets the Ares under control. Hopefully they start toning down the Ao Jun also.

Well after I replaced the Haechi with Blitz, that is all I have with an energy shield. So whatever ...
Not interested in Leech. Another Ares-type, and I think I know how to not shoot while it has its ability on,

Eat ?dookie? pix, your a bunch of failures. Not at all. This is Pix bragging about the success of their infinite loop business model. 1) Introduce disgusting PowerForSaleNoSkillRequired bot. Whales drop $Bank on purchasing and leveling 2) Keep milking if for revenue over time right on down the food chain to the dolphins and minnows 3) Kick it w a slight nerf to show that they care about balance, etc. but not much of a nerf. This suckers in the F2P than haven’t invested in it yet. 4) Then completely cripple it and remove it from MegaMeta while immediately offering the Whales something new to buy so they can maintain their false sense of accomplishment. 5) Goto 1). In other words...

They have exceptional levels of success with that approach. Can only tip the hat to them.

"Bypass all energy shield" So it shouldn't be named "Shieldbreaker" but "Shield Penetrator" instead.
And oh how typical Pix style, try to sell the new stuff by nerfing the old, in this case, Ares Bulwark Ancilot Blitz

Great. I was just started having fun with my Carnage again! But then, anyone who wastes power cells to kill a Carnage is just plain silly. I really only see people using this module for the god bots. Aegis goes down super fast on most bots, and there is so many energy weapons now that Haechis and Carnages don't last long these days.

I have that level of lunacy thank you very much. 2nd hanger of Carnage is done too, and is about to be unleashed on the battlefield.

But bro, the energy shield on the Carnage has been a non factor for years now. We live in an energy weapon meta. SB is barely gonna make a dent on my playstyle lol.

Post by TheDecepticonIdeal on Sept 13, 2019 11:45:41 GMT -5
I'm neutral towards the SB right now. The Ares speed nerf made it easier to counter Ares, so the SB is only gonna make things easier for me. I don't feel like I need it, but it's welcome if it does get released. I also like how SB only allows the user to damage the bot rather than destroy the shield and let everyone hit it. Seems like a nice middle ground from its initial conception.
The Leech as it is currently designed is ok except for the damage through walls thing. I truly hope everyone slams that idea on the test server and pix removes that OP feature.
