ѻﻭɼﻉ , I did, hence the question. Had a good read of the io website and the ‘white paper’. I suppose it safe to assume it has to have a free to play element to generate users, but could not find anything about it. Just detail about the cool unique robots you get straight away if you invest now ($1,000 dollars for the big T shaped one). I will certainly try out the game if / when a free to play option is there. If anyone is thinking about ‘investing’ anything other than a trivial amount I would suggest first having a good conversation with your friendly neighbourhood Financial Advisor. This has been addressed in another thread. Short answer, if you're a U.S. or Chinese citizen, you're not doing this. Even if you're not a citizen of said countries, its a bad idea. Ponzi-scheme bad. Oh I know, question was if there was an option to just play or if you had to 'invest'. It's a bad, bad idea, no matter where you sit. And pix are the bad Russians after our wallets? In fairness though the original Ponzi 'investment' was a viable (albeit small scale) arbitrage opportunity. It just gets bad press because the (not so) good Mr. Ponzi got way ahead of himself and committed the first massive fraud in the modern system.

It just gets bad press because the (not so) good Mr. Ponzi got way ahead of himself and committed the first massive fraud in the modern system. Career-wise, I'm probably a little to close to this to have what you'd call an unbiased opinion. But, the strategy outlined in their road-map fits Ponzi to a "T." From an economic perspective the only time a ponzi-scheme pencils out is when you can guarantee perpetual growth. We believed we found such a system with Social Security, but I think its human nature that the pay-out demands will always eventually exceed the scheme's ability to finance.

Anyone ever watch the Simpsons episode Bart playing bonestorm everyone was in their house playing it during the winter and when finally summer came, everyone was outside playing , well War Robots will be like that when BoT arrive. This game is going to die faster than they could find a cure for cancer. everyone will move to BoT, and only a small commitment handful of whales will continue to dash each other faces where they'll have no weaker bots to kill because scrub like me that can't afford have the dash bot, and for the rest of majority of the casual of players in the server I'm sure a huge sum of margin of players still don't have the dash bot will be in the same bandwagon as me as to leaving and, as for the whales they'll just be facing other whales in thr live server as it will almost look similar looking like a test server.

Really liking what I see in the beta where light bots seemingly have a much weaker signature than the large ones, so you need to be much closer to "lock on" to them. If Pix implemented this, then all of a sudden you'd see a tremendously higher variety of bots in all leagues, as light bots would suddenly be far more viable for ambushes, beacon-running, and general harassment.

If I recall correctly. You have 5 slots. You cannot put 5 heavies into those slots. So based on size/dmg it might occupy 2 slots for 1 bot. This is a huge benefit vs War Robots

I guess pix and mail.ru are not far away! IMO leaving War Robots for BoT will not fix the pay to play pattern!!!

I read the following article posted today IRT the cryporuble, which states no other crypto currency will be allowed in RU upon offering. www.rt.com/business/406960-russia-issue-blockchain-cryptoruble-putin/I didn't give much concern when this hit a couple days ago, until this one was posted today, in particular, the restrictions of other crypto currencies. Since Battle of Titans is in-proccess of an ICO of their own for reasons previously discussed, what do you predict the outcome will be? My primary interest is when We will get to play, second is what the effects on game content pricing will be, and tertiary... I am (or was) considering investing personal capital when the ICO hits in a week and a half. I ask due due to the urgency detailed in other reporting that they are looking to do this rather quickly, within2-6 months.

File this under "not enough publicly available information to make an informed investment." For average Joe, there just isn't a good (safe) way to invest in a foreign crypto-currency. This is true even if the crypto-currency is 100% legitimate with lots of internal controls to prevent currency manipulation etc. Taken at face value, Russia just slammed the door on a Battle of Titans ICO - but I'm not any kind of expert on on things Russian. Maybe BoT becomes a non-russian company? Assuming BoT finds a way to hold the ICO in spite of the ban, expect to get your special virtual bots, and expect the in-game purchasing power of your new crypto-currency to fall over time.

This is a huge benefit vs War Robots You get 6 slots (to start -- I don't know if more will be able to be acquired later in the live game or not), and each size bot takes up a different number of slots. Heavies = 3, Mediums = 2, and Lights = 1. You could run 6 light bots, 3 mediums, 2 heavies, or any combination in between. They've got some pretty cool concepts around upgrades, too. If you have two or more of the same bot or weapon, any upgrades to make to one automatically applies to all of them. There are also several types of upgrades you can apply to each in any way you choose, including speed, agility, defense, special ability cool-down time, weapon hit points and defense (because weapons can be damaged separately from bots). If you sell a bot or weapon (which you have to do right now in order to buy another bot or weapon) and then buy it back again later, you get all the upgrades you may have previously added. Just a few of the cool things I can think of at the moment.

Very well then! Thank you for the sound advice and right on point with my thoughts. I had some mail.ru Stock in my Fidelity account acquired right before the pix purchase. I liquidated them right after the FY and thought of putting the take towards the ICO. CCs are unknown territory for me and I am very, very glad there are smart folks like you on the board to keep me out of trouble... thank you again and i owe you a beer!

Can't say anything about the people and the other aspects.

It's nearly impossible to launch a mobile game without investment nowadays. Most of the developers meet this problem, even ones with very promising products. And those who succeeded lost a great deal of possible profits in the beginning, without Grand Opening. CryptoGames has met similar circumstances but they've found a unique solution for all the industry in general. The numbers of gaming industry are of no secret, all the data is available to the public. Market cap is over 100 billion dollars, expected annual increase makes this area very attractive for the investment. But whales never sleep pushing out little indie-fish. Common funding takes control on the company seizing those rights from original developers. Crowdfunding doesn't work attracting only final consumers. Blockchain changes old ways presenting the ICO - equal and convenient opportunity for everyone to get a piece of the future profits in a usual and well-known business. So CryptoGames will help indie-studios to launch their games using BTT - platform's brand currency. And that's not all: to illustrate all the possibilities, team starts with their own game - Battle of Titans. coinidol.com/cryptogames-battle-of-titans/

The Nov 25 live app release of BoT is mainly in Russia. It will be rolling out gradually to other regions. The last will be the USA, it’s largest player base, so they can fine tune it and remove all the bugs. It will go live here sometime in January
