Jesus, just make the stupid purple shield have a damage cap before it breaks like every other shield. Another side step of direct Nerf. Damage every other damn shield just to make sure the purple shield doesn't whine.

So now I have 2 soapboxes.....1 for instafreeze lockdown screwing up the game, second one for blatant continuation of introducing pay for garbage so the game Pix breaks can be kinda fixed.
Perhaps time for this thread to find its way to Rants?

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. To be fair, basically every meta weapon hits the carnage anyway  . |

I only know one person with this level of lunacy.
They have exceptional levels of success with that approach. Can only tip the hat to them.
I have that level of lunacy thank you very much. You're welcome. |

Right after I put my 3rd fortifier module on my bulwark... Just when I thought Pix couldnâ??t get any more ?wee-wee?ish. well you do have to realize that even if the damn thing comes out not everyone will have one. So many other choices to choose from module wise. Oh don’t you worry! With such a hunger to shoot through purple It will spread like wildfire on dry woods |

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. Yeah so the leech whales have freeway right? |

One last test server question guys. I downloaded the test server but when trying to open it I get a message that Pixoni LLC has not been trusted and app will not be available for use. Oddly I have the game loaded on the same phone. Is there an easy remedy to this on my end

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. 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.... Easy, release new enhanced Fortifier that not only boost your shield but also make it impervious to shield breaker. At some point Pix might release a module that negate all active module power of a targeted red for X sec. That would be a fun one... |

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. Android War Robots Test ServerThank you very much! Is there an IOS? Yes. Best thing to do is go to their facebook page. If you click more on the most recent post (this morning), then it'll show both links for IOS and Android. The new links will be their every friday for that weekends test server. www.facebook.com/Walking War Robots.test.page/ |

I have 3 Fortifiers on my Bulwark and I think the short 6 second use of SB and longish cooldown of 25 seconds will not be that great of a challenge to my shield bots. I know how to use cover and think before attacking. No doubt SB fire will catch me a few times initially but after the learning curve I will adapt. Also myAegis shield does Not go down fast. My Bully can take quite a bit of fire before going down. And I dont rely on Aegis much for brawling or mr. I rely on my very sturdy physical shield.

I guess one good shocktrain burst would stop one of these pink hordes of sissy fitting Greek-bots in a hurry. Sign me up for one of these!  Lol, I never thought I’d welcome a Shocktrain Spectre. |

this kinda ?dookie? right here is why i would never have an entire hangar full of one bot. I only know one person with this level of lunacy.

I know 2, but only one that's a mod on this forum *cough, Ⓑⓞⓑ Ⓓⓨⓛⓐⓝ, cough*. The other guy ran all pursuers and averaged more than 2 million. Very effective. |

I ran into him 2-3 times within a week. 3 are shredders, 1 magnums and 1 was either halos or gusts (probably halos). It's certainly not a sight I want to behold again while he's red though. lol Dead City was his playground. I was a helpless babe. |

Funnily enough I dont see many Ao Juns with shield so I don’t see how this module helps me much against the multiple buzz bots I see most games!
In fact its almost a buff as they can easily rip apart the Ares, pretty much the only bot that could stand up to them, with ease with this mod.

I'm railing on the shield active module...
However they are doing this at 40 a pop to create a solid revenue stream.
Before phase shift I had usually 10kin meth...now I have 7500. Drinking it virtually every game once with my strider. I should stop being a beacon 「loose lady」 and just die.

The new SB is even worse than the last one that the playerbase vehemently rejected the first time, and there's not much doubt that Pix is going to use it to force the Leech down everyone's throats. Ares isn't nearly as prevalent as it used to be, and the SB module is just a thinly veiled cash grab to conveniently pave the way for a bigger one.
Ares has a near-identical history with the Spectre: released overpowered despite (or perhaps precisely because of) overwhelming TS criticism for being overpowered, left to fester for 8-9 months until the meta is overrun with them, and then nerfed hard to make room for the next cash cow. Pilots, Operations and Pix's plan for a new monetization scheme gave us false hope that they would abandon or at least tone down their blatant P2W strategy, but this week's test server indicates that they don't plan on changing that.
EDIT: Misread the SB description. It isn't as game breaking as it was before, and it is essentially a reskin of Quantum Radar for god bots and is creatively bankrupt IMO. The point about it being used to promote the Leech still stands.

Drinking it virtually every game once with my strider. I should stop being a beacon ?hot stuff? and just die. None of my bots would survive trying to cap a contested beacon without PS, and I only play BR, where you can get ambushed at any red beacon. I never touch the crack pipe and have never paid for PS in my life, so I don't even bother with beacons that I'm not conveniently placed to cap. 40 crack per match doesn't sound sustainable at all if you play several times per day, and it isn't worth a beacon cap IMO. Considering that beacons now contribute to your match ranking but, like winged Champions League cups nowadays, don't show up in your stats, and that Champions League battle rewards suck 「bum-bum」, stopping your crack habit at the expense of some caps might not be a bad thing, even if it makes you drop out of Champions League. |

You guys all know how this ends, right?
One person uses Shield Breaker and someone else counters with Phase Shift... 80 powercells are spent and Pixonic is laughing all the way to the bank. Thousands of power cells will be spent in the top clans in battles versus other clans.
This is the very definition of pay to play, one upmanship that is just insane. Pixonic has done a great job in slowly moving this game from pay to win to pay to play.

I think it’s not as bad as when it was first introduced because of phase shift. It’s just going to neutralize each other.
PS might even proliferate even more.

You cant be in the top leagues, nor top clans without a constant supply of powercell juice. Kind of feel for the whales they have been suckered into a spending loop. I assume next stage in the process would be to restrict power cells across the board. |

I assume next stage in the process would be to restrict power cells across the board. I have 44k power cells, and that number has climbed from 40k since Operation was released. I have spent exactly 0 gold on power cells since they were introduced. But I don't think that will last. The game is going to be about who can spend more power cells as active modules become increasingly powerful. The $100 robot is going to be rendered useless versus someone using power cells... unless you use power cells to counter their power cells. Basically who can throw more money at each individual match will decide it (where before it was who threw more money at their hanger)... a far cry from when I started playing. The slow and inevitable move from pay to win to pay to play is almost complete. Why did Battle of Titans never get updated? Did Pixonic pay them off not complete the game or something? That was the replacement! |

How is the new SB worse than the old version? The old SB destroys your shield in one hit and that frees up the entire enemy team to hit you. The new SB doesn't destroy the God Shield and only the SB user can hit you. The new SB seems far more tame to me. |

I haven't played on the test server in forever but will play this weekend just so I can say a big NO to the SB. As a Bulwark owner and soon to be fortifier user I hate it when something I'm about to get, gets nerfed before I can even use it.
