Pixonic: Rogatka, Gareth, Natasha, Leo and Vityaz changes

Especially when there are so many damn Leo's in the lower tiers right now, used by 「dookie」ty 「bum-bum」 pilots who think adding a heavy bot or three to their hangar will make them more successful. I'm getting tired of blasting through their armored plated hulls as it is...

Leos are free damage except the thunder aphid or pinata ones

All light weapons are not equal to begin with. Some weapons in a class will always be superior to others.

I swear I'm going to start beating people to death over technical definitions around here.

There is DPS, damage per second, which is used to get a good measure of burst fire damage. It has a very limited scope for comparing a variety of weapon types, especially when clip sizes could allow for sustained fire for longer than a single second.

Then there is DPM, damage per minute, however it should NOT be calculated by extrapolating the DPS (meaning X*60). DPM is used for a more general idea of a weapon's damage output over a length of time, and so more vectors must be included, such as RoF (Rate of Fire), cycle time (time from one clip reload to the next) and so on.

The proposed changes to the rocket pods, in allowing them to fire while reloading, are an excellent example. The DPS and DPM rates for the affected weapons are not changing at all, the only difference is being able to do your full DPM throughout the cycle time instead of being stuck with burst-fire only.

Makes me glad I never sold any bot I have owned. You never know when the devs will breathe some new life into a previous laughing stock in you hanger. I'm waiting for the Schutze buff some day... ??

The Death Ostrich Strikes Back!

I am not sure the point of that?  Are you saying the Gareth HP should be buffed to withstand that?  I think what you are saying that you do is how it should be.  If I can take out a full health 8/9 Rhino with a 7/9 Thunder Carn like I did this morning, most assuredly a Gareth, if dumb (or unlucky) enough to be caught by one, should be crushed like so much "tin"... IMO anyway.

On most maps I find it pretty easy to run inside 620m to pound furies then get back out of range before they can hurt me in a trident carnage, I don't think they completely dominate mid range except on paper. It really depends on the players, a properly piloted carnage can take out a fury while taking no damage from it in less than a minute. I also find it easier to avoid treb bots/knife fighters in the smaller faster carnage and the shield blocks kwk/kd shots.

True, I always support furies on my team if they are good. Zeus furies are not that tough.. you can corner shoot with impunity and shoot them outside 600m. Now if they have zeus carnages it can be more difficult, if I see one it becomes my primary target since they are maneuverable enough to be more of a threat. Honestly trebs are the midrange carnages kryptonite imo, a treb fury supporting a trident fury is tough. 

Dont mess up with my Gareth please! I feel its good has it is. If it has more speed would be good. But my Gareth at level 8 is already very fast. People complain about speed cause they probably are trying to play at level 2 with strong weapons. Shame on you.lol

Vityaz is suppose be a knight .

It's Russian for Knight .

I like see it look bit more knightly

It looks prety good as it is mind any ideas.

Maybe give it something unique and strange but not overpowering or game brakeing for a silver bot.

Maybe a sheild on it's back which can not move.

So takes lot less damage from anyone sneaking behind it.

I am getting to the point where I wish Pixonic would just make whatever adjustments/buffs/nerf that they deem appropriate an not say anything. The wailing and gnashing of teeth that accompanies every announcement is very repetitious and tiresome. Nerf the aphid! Nerf the Trident! Nerf the Gepard. Blah Blah Blah

If things were quietly adjusted in the background, nobody would know for sure for a while, and players would adjust their playing style subconsciously before they even realized things had changed.

This is a game where the object is to prevent the red team from having success. In any competitive endeavour, participants will play to their strengths and use what advantages they can. If I am happy with the outcome of a battle, there is a very good chance that there are 5 other pilots who are also pretty happy, and six who are not.

You can't know true satisfaction without knowing disappointment, victory is hollow if you have never known defeat. What satisfaction is there if every game is the same? If you are not afraid to lose, how is winning exciting? My most enjoyable games go down to the wire, and an unlikely comeback win ranks up there pretty high. A strategic move that turned the tide can make me smile for days.

For the most part, the guys in red are trying their best to win (the clueless randoms on your team are likely also trying to win, lol). You are going to be a better pilot than some opponents, and not as good as others. You will make mistakes and so will they. In the end, it's about enjoying the competition of battle in this awesome game we love.

The sad thing is that most of us like 90% of what War Robots is, and complain about the 10% that we consider to be less than ideal.

Wouldn't it be nice if our forum were a more positive and uplifting place?

Catch you on the battlefield. Red, or blue, I look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers!

Schutze with an Ancile....talk about a nonstop capathon!

I have the same opinion. Not speed, health to balance it
