YUP the Dash bots are OP.. So... what... I am not going to let anything PIX does steal my joy in the game.. I currently run a Natty Nori-Zenit.. don't care if it pisses anyone off, since the Dash pilots don't care who they pissoff and you know what.. It is an awesome counter to them.. My Nori's are lvl 8/9 my zenits are lvl7 .. they effect the game play of the reds.. If 3 reds hunt me down, THAT makes a difference in the game play.. the Blues then should be taking advantage of the 5vs3 advantage they now have in taking beacons.. I run my Natty for about 2-3mins tops.. just enough to kill the draw the reds to a blue beacon area.. then I mech-out into my lvl9 Taran/Thunder Lancelot or my DB Griff and waste as many reds as I can... sometimes I can take everything that was hunting me down.. sometimes not.. But its a blast.. Then it is to the bot that best fits the situation.. BUT I am not going to let DASH Bots steal the game from me.. There are plenty of weapons and tactics to take them out and still have a blast.. Its a freaking game.. It STILL can be played for FREE.. Find your happy place and enjoy..  don't let the MM or anything else in the game steal your joy from you.. Ignore the leagues and the ranking bs.. just kill stuff, capture beacons and drink beer |

You're right. But you have to be able to separate yourself from the desire to win first, which is tough to do if you're going to play seriously, and face it, if you're not going to play seriously things get boring really faster. It's a tough balance to strike.

It's a tough balance to strike. Well.. its TEAM play.. so enjoy, but don't steal the joy from others on your team in the process.. And... to your point.. Playing seriously and playing for fun.. I never find myself getting bored in the game.. I play for fun.. I cannot control who I am teamed up with unless I am squadding, then it is strictly to support the team and win.. But going solo in Gold/Silver/Diamond with the tankers and leavers, you just have to make sure you are getting the most joy out of the game as you can.. In a way that makes it fun for you.. Boring for one person, might be fun for another person.. So its all relative .. |

Agree with topic.
Play what is fun for you and how itd be fun for you.
As far as im concern, i dont have to play how others would like to play just so they can have fun but not me!
Its a game. You play to have fun, not for others to have fun when youre not.
Ofc, this, strictly speaking from solo play point of view ?

Great encouragement. The kbot is OP. It had the speed, the mobility a d the firepower. There is no way a poor man bot can keep up with it, it run fawning slow. Having to run these poor man bot, its a double edge sword. You have to decide if you'll going to support your team or decide to take the beacon. The kbot can do two of those and get back in a timely fashion. That said, they have the right to complain. Not everyone can afford and burn their wallet like these rich fat kids who live with they're parent still.

One or 2 of the dashes in a game usually doesn't make a game impossible. The problem I have with them is that many higher level clans have tons of them already. Add to that comms and playing a champion level game just sucks. I don't even want to try sometimes. It makes it even worse when I'm going solo and run up against that.
That said, I've found that Domination mode has become much more reasonable. There are still dash bots, but I can handle that since it's mostly 12 solo players instead of 6 solo players vs 1 cohesive team. It's worth a try if you haven't done it in a while.

The real problem is facing Champion level opponents when you are Diamond or Expert. Otherwise, the dash bot drivers would just move up the ladder and be out of your hair. As it works now, the very top players in the game are facing off against middle tier folks.
It is hard for me to tell if the dash bots are OP. Why? Because they're often running 12/12 in my matches. All 12/12 bots are OP for my hangar.

I'm in Diamond league with a 7/7 hangar. Practically EVERYONE I face is OP compared to me. Yes, I made it into D2 last night, and promptly fell out this morning. But, at least I got my gold reward! To me, this game is an excellent successor to Mechwarrior, Mech Assault, Front Mission, and any other big bot games I've played. AND, I can play on my phone, virtually ANYWHERE. The only thing that would make this game perfect would be a bot that can transform. I've always thought that the Rogatka, Griffin and Stalker would make the best transforming bots.
Think about what a game changer that would be. A transforming bot in flight mode would fly 800m in the air and be able to change battle zones and help out virtually anywhere on the map. You can balance them by giving them low HP and small weapon load outs, but also think of how they would change the game for people on coms!
Oh, I'll go back to my pipe dream...

Preach it! Not worried about being on a Dash diet. Just blast away, grab beacons, die, hope the other blues do the same, win/lose, lather/rinse, and repeat. Got all the bots I can play with (last I checked you can only field 5) and after getting my 4th Ork, I feel like I'm just funding my 401K to upgrade everything.... It's just a game, and despite warts and all, one of the better FTP ones for my phone. Well back to work.

There are still dash bots, but I can handle that since it's mostly 12 solo players instead of 6 solo players vs 1 cohesive team. It's worth a try if you haven't done it in a while. I actually bounce back and forth between modes.. I tend to like BR the best.. but when I end up in games with a lot of goofy matchups, I go back to DOM mode.. I am in gold league.. I run the full spectrum of Gold, from 1-3.. Gold League is like a washer on spin dry.. it is a huge bottleneck where Tankers/Leavers are dominant at times.. It is a huge mixing bowl of Silver/Bronze to Diamond and everything in between.. If you take the game too serious, it drives you crazy.. because you could end up on a map with 5 of the Blue Teammates running Natasha's with Nori's, Tridents, Zenits and a Treb as I ran into this one bot of many weapons this morning.. But it is a total mixed bag.. If you take the game too serious and you end up in a match with 5 campers staying in those 5 bots until the end.. it can drive you mad.. So I just don't take it serious anymore.... If the developers don't take it serious, then I am not going to.. I am just going to play what the system gives me.. I also take the leagues for what they are.. They are basically "revenue generators" as it makes ppl feel the need to upgrade and buy, buy buy Bots and weapons and upgrade all those to make more bucks for the "system" for PIX.. So I could stay in Gold forever.. I am just gonna chill and have fun with where ever I am at, no more need to buy.. I will kill kill kill with what I have.. win lose or draw..  |

Zenits aappear to be viable now, at least in lower leagues. In my facebook account a lot of noobs run Zenit Nattys, and there are enough games where I have to run like hell to evade them - and if I'm in a slow, unshielded bot, I often take heavy damage from them. OK, players running 3 Haechis won't worry too much about it, but I think they're too good right now, considering that it takes zero skill to fire them.

Just played a game of BR where I was one of a few solos that got stuck in a game of a 3 man group that got matched vs a 5 man Champ group. The champ group's low score was just south of 500k, but most were 600+. All but the lone solo red were in dashes. The high blue score was south of 500k and the match over in 5 min. MM happens, but then I followed that with another losing match where my over 500k damage only netted me 130k silver. Not long ago, that would have been higher. Getting rolled in matches + inability to get decent silver rewards so I can upgrade my gear takes a lot of the fun out of the game. |

I disagree. It is cathartic to release/complain/whine about something. And as mentioned, if you were taking this game seriously and trying to climb, it is pretty depressing to suddenly be presented with an economy that is essentially pay-to-win. I really think a great way to play this game would be limit yourself to level 5/6 with robots and weapons. At the same time, you could be leveling Robots and weapons right up to level 12. |

That has been the basic premise of my alt account. Unfortunately, MM keeps matching me against hangers 600+ points higher with level 8+ mechs and level 8-10 weapons. Getting doubled up in damage gets frustrating pretty quickly. |

Pretty much your just a food for the higher levels. I moved into platinum 3 a few days ago and the MM is a ?firetruck?ing fubar mess. My hangar is 7/9 and I am being thrown against 10/12, some other times they are handicapping the player's from stacking the team one sided. Pix don't want to fix and reinvent the wheel to keep the matches balance it has too many components to deal with like, weapons, bots and etc. A 1vs1 would be much more transparent to fix the problem much more easier . Fixing the culprit problem with multiple components for them is too obviously difficult task for them, so what they're doing is making the matches unbalance and interesting. |

Serenity now.... Only two Blues loaded up. I faced off vs a guy with a 12/12 dasher who knew really how to use it. Mech out at 7:58. After my first two mechs, I only dropped the rest out of principle given the spawn was completely surrounded.    |

I feel better. Just rolled out my spite hanger to pop its cherry.
Despite everything I used being under leveled, I scored 4th in damage and got a kill with a Noricum.
Do I feel guilty for playing like this? Absolutely. Unfortunately, if I don't change things up, I'll end up quitting the game.

Well... I'm in upper diamonds in android with my lvl 8-9 hangar. I don' t feel bad when champ MM happens. I actually feel better, because they also play better. I found that i perform much worse, if i'm teamed with clueless guys with iffy bots

My clan got destroyed by champs again. Several times. And I didn't even utter a profanity. I just joked about how glad I am that Pix is doing everything they can to keep gameplay competitive. Makes me wonder if I'm finally reaching that point of supreme apathy. That usually signals an approaching onset of a new time-waster.
