Mine will stay stock. I will not run it. Once I bot out with my regular hanger it will not be deployed. You might not have a choice, risking the dreaded LPQ if you don’t drop it. But I’m not in any rush to upgrade em, that’s for sure. W the skilless suckfest of leeches and PS, Pix has me on the ragged edge. Titans might finally be what saves me from wasting any more time. I need a good old fashion PvE dungeon crawler. Anyone old enough to remember Wizardry? What am I saying, of course your are. Was that originally on Apple II or Mac Plus first? These kids today have no true appreciation for the amazing graphics in these modern games. You haven’t lived until you’ve played 1-bit graphics on a 9” screen, lol. Oh, and had to swap floppies to load new levels. Believe it or not, but I have Wizardry 8 still installed on my PC, just never have enough time to play it. Speaking of this type of gaming, did you ever play M&M series? I even got Might & Magic X few years ago. Of more modern games in that style I'd recommend Legends of Grimrock 1&2 or Vaporum. And speaking of floppies... I recall drilling holes in them to convert 720k ones to 1.44M and then used special utility to format to 1.6 M. The goal? Bigger capacity could hold more pirated games/software. So kids, don't let the old(er) geezers give you too much hard time, we did our own questionable things too.  |

If you lose league rankings due to foregoing one bot than your league cups will be lower and the MMer will proportionately give you easier opponents when your equilibrium is reached. Won’t work if u r chasing high league cups. The only thing to note is if u drop it last and leave u may be a candidate for the LPQ. However, if you have made up ur mind about the approach then u can ditch it without penalty at the start. Unless Pix changes things. |

... Pix won’t care, of course, until it’s too late... I think Pixonic cares and knows what is happening, they will just try to squeeze as much money as possible as War Robots is winding down. If War Robots keeps doing well that's just added bonus for them. Judging from hints dropped and the employee headcount I think they are very close to releasing another game, which they think is going to replace or even surpass War Robots financially. Their arrogance comes from the fact that they believe they'll have similar hit and will be able to use War Robots experience to monetize it to the last cent. |

The whole concept is just a complete turnoff for me; the game is becoming like a lame transformers comic. Either the decision makers at Pix are just too arrogant to see their own stupidity, or whales are - either way, the majority of players will be negatively impacted. If you have to ‘charge’ your Titan by doing damage then this just widens the gap between pimple-arse whales and everyone else. Titans will of course dominate the battle from there further reducing the incentive to play. I’ve halted all rm spending until I see the effect Titans have (or maybe permanently anyway), but if it further ruins an already grossly unbalanced and unfair game them I’ll just go play something else. I suspect I won’t be alone on that decision. Pix won’t care, of course, until it’s too late... Agree. i think this will be along the lines of the 80:20 rule. In this case 80 for monetisation and 20 for game refresh. I reckon it will push the monetisation just that bit further at the cost of game play. There will be a turn off factor for many but the whales and whale clans will lap it up to get that extra bit of advantage. The disparity is becoming larger at every step but I suppose there is enough cannon fodder to keep things healthy. Those who leave will just be replaced by new meat. Those who stay and spend is what Pix wants the most. The p2w distortion is chipping away at the good aspects of the game at every turn and having a good game is becoming less frequent as time progresses. |

Assume those translate to speed, health, and firepower. Wonder how fast a level 50 engine is....actually kinda scared to find out lol . They just don’t know when to quit. Maybe I’m wrong but this feels like a disaster.j Neither do we man, neither do we... |

I may have to hang up the towel. Ao Jun are bad enough as it is. Now there is going to be a premium flying giant Ao Jun. I'm not going to put up with that. At least its targetable without smoking the green crack, but damage resistance just makes it a different kind of annoying, and the flight duration is infinite on top of that... |

What the hell is hull/core? Hull/core is a new subgenre of Electronic Dance Music. The main melody is composed of nails dragged on a blackboard and the sound of money machines counting dollar bills supplies the beats. |

Something about it sounds kinda interesting to me.
I'll wait until a month in to evaluate rather than speculate.

Based on how Viper Wayland did against that Behemoth army during the skirmish, my best bots against Titans will be Viper Raijin and Avenger Jun.

Titans and yet another new currency....translation: monetization accelerator, make the monetary targets for mail.ru at all cost.
My last and final payment to Pixonic was the first operation (gathering storm?).
Will still be a go to on the throne, but I’ll forever be a smiling organ grinding monkey if Stan receives just one more ruble from me.

What they really need to do is make a separate game mode (for each one) that includes Titans. You'd have domination and you'd have dom with titans. Also, they need to consider a one-off elimination mode with only 1 titan per player. I always thought of this as being a competitive outlet, but now with word that there are upgrades, competitive is out. Man I remember the first year playing this dumpster fire. I thought some day, I’ll have the top level stuff and it will come down to skill still waiting. Actually, I had ground out THE TOP meta finally. Literally three weeks before the big rebalance where all my hard work from over a year and RM spent got simultaneously nerfed. I’ve gone strict f2p and just sticking around to see what the final straw is. REALLY good chance it’ll be titans. The faster they add new top META like Leech and Phantom and now soon to be Titans, the more desperate they show themselves to be to drain the last dime of blood from this well beaten horse. |

Then came the Mac, which was B&W, pixels were either black or white. And I had PixelPaint; it could draw/paint at the pixel level for a whopping 300 dpi zoomed in. I think the screen was 72 dpi. Simpler times. But back to the topic at hand, I was looking for a gif to illustrate that, when you are circling the drain, rotational velocity increases as you get closer to the center. But this one seems to work as well.  |

And this shouts from the mountain tops that they’re getting more and more desperate as fewer and fewer people play and especially pay. They clearly put a lot more thought into monetizing than anything else. I have no doubt that the closer we get to them pulling the plug that we’ll see their end of times business plan. Things will get cheaper and cheaper to try to entice the more frugal to spend. Etc. Until they finally can’t pay for the servers and poof, app won’t open. |

New video out by Manni talking about titans. They now have 150 upgradable levels. Engine = 50 levels Hull = 50 levels Core = 50 levels This doesn’t even include weapons. And I’m almost positive that pix will add mods to titans eventually. This all by the way is paid with new currency. So now we have to concentrate extreme time and resources into these giant bots while still trying to work on what we already have. More stuff to upgrade! yay!!! ? Yea well there’s no wait times for upgrades!!!! Hah blahhhhhhhhhh dah lmao thats cause there’s so so many lvls !!!! First sentence is sarcastic ...I think most of fighting will still be little bots .They have to build up or whatever before you drop him .No one should drop them lol.And this is an actual decision the players can make.Dont drop the tittie if you do your out of the clan !!!! |

Are you forced to run a titan in one of your five slots? Is it in a sixth slot? They can’t force you to run it unleveled as one of your five bots right???
I almost hope we’re forced to run it in one of the five. Accelerate the exodus
I assure you the LPQ is essentially a myth. Except for leaving matches after the timer has ended and bots are dropping. That’ll trigger it.

They will however give you easier and easier matches until your forced to win. |

Oh, and had to swap floppies to load new levels. I played a strategy game called Empire where you built troops, tanks, planes, transports etc to build an Empire...on one world, not space. Turn based iirc. All ascii characters and so much fun. Now I am searching for ascii games. :-) |

I am not especially fond of Titans, and find them quite boring, but they are part of the game, so I will be exploring anti-Titan tactics as well as using my Titan to destroy the enemy team.
In Call of Duty mobile, they have something similar to the Titan concept called “killstreaks”. When you reach a certain number of kills, one of three optional weapons can be used to gain a combat advantage. Examples are a tomahawk missile, hunter killer drone, a tripod turret gatlin gun, a stealth chopper that fires machines guns, a gunship and so on. I’m not particularly fond of the latter two because of how op they are, but I use them nevertheless to bring the team a win.
People can do whatever they want, be ethical or anti-content, but at the end of the day, if your objective is to acquire as many resources as you can to upgrade your gear, or you care about your team winning the match, you will use as much tools as you can to accomplish that, including a Titan.
The Titan weapons are devastating, especially the rockets, and especially Ao Ming, but, they are not impossible to defeat, and you can see the advantage your team gains when you drop one and play it well. So why the heck not use it...
