I was on the test server over the weekend trying out the new bots. While there are certain things that I like about the idea of swappable weapons, I wonder more whether we even need any more new bots. Considering the current assemblage of bots and all the weapons and their ranges, I feel that anymore is just sensory overload.
Do you concur or am I the only one who thinks so?

Definitely need more weapons and a balance of current weapons before bots. The new bots are gimmicky, unless they show up for Ag, there is already a bot for every role they can play that does it better.
Bullet weapons still need a bit of a bump, even if they just go back o their original state. They originally did about 50% more damage than they do now, with bullet decay up to their max range (lost damage every few meters beyond their effective range). T versions of guns actually had 2x fire rate at the same damage/clip instead of the wierd 1.5 damage or fire rate they have now.
Gekkos should have at least 1 more pulse to make them usable instead of serviceable.
Ancile should have 5% regen per second with a minimum requirement of 25% re-activation threshold, in exchange for a 10% reduction to it's max HP (carnage inbuilt included) 5 seconds back on, 20 seconds Full charged. Not as durable or permanent as Fujin's,so it keeps Fujin's better enough to warrant the decreased mobility.
A tweak to Zeus' firing arc so that it has a slight chance to hit around physical shields would be neat.
A 10-15% increase to the Ecu's HP would be neat also.

Not sure we need more weps but I do agree some balancing would be in order. But most importantly, more priority should be placed on fixing the MM.

We definitely need more non ag bots. Choice is really pure right now. Grief is great, but he is alone. Because you need ESP and gold for weeps. I also want several new non ag weeps, but not so heavy as bots

I like the new light and medium switch bots. I don't care so much for the heavy. We have more than enough campers as it is!

 Pixonic Facebook held an opinion poll and the overwhelming response was more bots. I would suggest liking their page and voting should another poll come up. |

More bots, more better. When the game devolves into hangars full of 1 bot type and 1 weapon type as the only way to win is when it dies. That's (one reason) why I'll never understand all the full Gep hangars.
As far as the new bots, the light bot is gonna be awesome at anything below Top Tier, maybe even an answer to the Gepard. The medium will be good too, just probably not Top Tier (It is a medium). The heavy gets no love but's specs put it rather close to the Fury. Maybe it's not as good, but c'mon... Do we want every new bot that comes out to be better than all the current bots? That's power creep, and it makes all the old bots obsolete, which again, leads to hangars full of one type of bot. In real life this is the natural order, but in a game it ruins balance.
Let's hope they cost silver. Please let them cost silver.

Actually, as far as power goes, I want them to be new enough to pose a challenge. Like the lance and Galahad did before everyine decided to run rockets. Or the rhino did.....before everyone decided to run rockets. Or the stalker, before everyone figired out they shouldt try to shoot it while it was cloaked. Or the Carnage, before everyone realized they should have a few more plasma bots. When bots have a decent advantage, it makes them cool. Do we REALLY want another Hydra experience? No. In fact, when Pix releases things op and says "Well nerf it in a second," the meta changes regardless of what happens in the nerf. Basically, I want game changers instead of gmae breakers. |
