What's New? What’s new: — Improved TDM — New medium weapon Vortex (lvl 8): 19620 damage, range: 350m, reload time: 10 sec — New light weapon Gust (lvl 8): 2880 damage, max.range: 500m, reload time: 9 sec
-------------------------------------
I thought the best improvement to TDM was taking it away?

What about the other new weapon? There should be 3 new weapons.
I think the Gust is the light version of the Storm.

The gust should be renamed to "light breeze" because those stats are horrible. New heavy looks interesting. Will be good to try it out tomorrow in the test server

I too am thinking that the Gust weapon is a light shotgun like Thunder and Storm.
I'm trying to figure out what the Redeemer will be. I'm thinking that if Pix is trying to complete the weapon classification (which I have asked for them to do on multiple occasions for all types), then this may either be a heavy Taran/Mag or the heavy Vortex/Aphid. I could be completely wrong and it could turn out to be a special weapon.
I can't wait for this test to start. Let's hope that the iOS test will actually work this week.
EDIT: From the looks of the Test Server FB page image, I am now leaning towards it being plasma. Perhaps one big blast every 5 seconds.

Maybe the redeemer is the return of the bubble / dub-step cannon?

From the stats, the Redeemer appears to be a heavy Taran. If so, a Cardeemer (Carnage/Redeemer) could be a fun setup.

With the Ember (which deals much more damage, no matter the shield) and the Zeus (a bit less damage, one single shot every 5s but from 600m) around, another heavy energy weapon would be a bit redundant IMHO. Anyway, if it's not like it seems to be (a single shot every 5 s) and it's the heavy version of the Taran, it will be VERY cool.

I agree that there is the potential for redundancy - will be interesting to see.

This Redeemer weapons sounds like the last nail for the Thunder's coffin. And the mini thunder looks cute asf(Thanks to Beldanius for the picture). Any Light bot with this Gust weapon sounds like fun.
It's very simple. Pixonic is releasing a lot of new stuff lately just to see how many people are willing to pay for something they don't need just to be the first to say " I have the new hot stuff and you don't". Well at least thats how I see it.
Like someone on Facebook said "More Weapons in system, means less chance to drop what you need which means more time to complete an item" so If you're impatient for something you might ended up paying for it.

I agree too that the new gust weapon will be light shot gun. It is most likely! I think that the redeemer will be a punisher form of the Tempest weapon, sort of like a heavy punisher. I don't think the redeemer will be heavy Tara/magnum because the way I see it, thats what the Ember is supposed to be The heavy tartan/magnum (it deals much more damage, no matter the shield anyway). Read more: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/17368/test-server-3-5?page=1#ixzz504eHm0DI. I don't think it will be heavy aphid either because why? But, you never know what pionic is gonna do next. Can't wait to find out on the test server tomorrow! #griffin,gust,storm #carnage,redeemer #doc,vortex These setups will be used on battlefield! @shark-Gaming

Conclusions from one game:
There is no storm in the test server so no way to match them with gust. There are no dashes or shocktrains so impossible to see how any of this stuff works in the current actual gameplay. As we saw from the hover (which is also missing) what it was like in the test server bore no relation to the bot that hit the live server. So apart from trying another version of TDM where there is no “home base” there is zero value playing the test server.
I am going back to do something productive with my time...like watching ads...

Agree completely, except it did occur to me that I have never actually piloted some of the builds I am putting together for 6x6, so doing them all now in 8x8,

Reedemer is heavy taran which shoots 2 burst in 3 sec and its effect is blue of taran (pretty cool) also this wep will be total haechi burner needs a little bit buff Gust is light thunder and it will make light bots more viable (think about storm gust gareth) Vortex is medium of aphid but needs to be buffed a lot
? really liked reedemer and gust

Redeemer is powerful, when that blue light hits a nice chunk of hp is gone. It’s not synced with Taran though, that’d be nice.
Vortex seems weak, Aphids were doing more damage usually. Sometimes there was a good hit but there’s significant lag in registering damage.
The silver rewards were way higher. I did 641k damage and got 852k silver, 1.3m with premium! Is this coming to live server too?
I like the colored smoke markers of spawn points and some of the extra barricades. But the spawns seemed close though.

Gust is so much Fun with Gepard and Stalker. Sadly the Jesse is left behind AGAIN. It's not a combination that works very good with him.
They might felt OP due their super fast firing speed but they need to be like this is order to show they are better than a Magnum.
As someone go loves Tarans the Redeemer is so cool and feels powerful, specially with Lancelot and Leo.

I just got to play one game in moon and now its down. But some thoughts: 1)The new weapons are cool but disingenius. Pix design cupboard seems bare. 2)Gust is nice not too OP, and it may bring back Patton and Geppard from extinction. Quad gust patton seems the way to go though. 3)Couldnt figure out the rhythm to the redeemer, though it is powerful. And blue is a nice color for the plasma. I rocked two with a carnage til I rounded a corner and a fury was ready. Jury is still out but I'd like this on a Boa. 4)Flight characteristics of the vortex seem much stabler now, I slapped a pair on a rog and got 4 kills just from jumpshots alone. Note: launching while jumping backwards over a platform is waaaay cool!

thanks for a heads-up above two posts, but isn’t it time to give all bots (except componenet bots) some HP buffs?
now they need to endure ThunderStorms, Gusts, Tempests, Hurricanes (Orkans), some more thunders in an ancient foreign language (Tarans), and Vortexes (whatever weather condition it means). they have been zapped by the lightening of Zeus and also for some reason by ... moonlights (Gekko). they have been bitten by Hydras and Aphids* and shot with Mugnums and Trebuchets (siege machines throwing stones and rocks), and ground to fine powder by Molots (mills). they also have been Punished and subjected to an Inquisition, and now about to be Redeemed (what horrendous crimes and sins they commited? oh I see, not paying?). most of all, they have been Shocked in a train recently.
tears flow covering my filthy face, give some mercy to non-component bots (never thought I would end up defending a Lance )
* Aphids are pests which suck saps out of plant stems. when multiple of them feasting on a plant, they somewhat resemble the shape of the weapon, I guess that’s where the name came from, unless it is not.

I could be wrong, because it's kinda half Orkan half Taran.
