So it seems this game will drop on android soon(already dropped on IOS), what are your guys' thoughts on it, is this a war robots killer ? Seems like it to me, tho graphics might be a bit too much to handle for older devices. This might make pixonic rethink this new path they have taken with shocktrains and stuff, cuz people will gladly take the cheaper, more f2p friendly and balanced alternative.

If only pixonic did something with those shocktrains i'd be happy, dash robots you can somehow deal with... |

I'd just as soon go up against an Orkan Haechi, than a 「dookie」 train. At least I'd know what was killing me. I'd rather be receiving it directly, and not having it passed on through teammates from someone 500 meters away. There's no way to counteract a 「dookie」 train. |

Still Russian Developers tho. No guarantee it won't be built up and sold out like Walking War Robots was....
Yeah I'm for sure gonna check it out, but there's no way I am going to support it with $$ and time the way I have this game.
You can thank mail.fu for that

I haven't played BoT in a few months. I had high hopes for it, but the last time I played, it had a long way to go to even think about competing with War Robots, never mind dethroning it. I specifically recall a messy, random and confusing store and upgrade system, and I hear there are issues with matchmaking, though that could just be from the size of the player pool. I personally did not care for the graphics or the bot and weapon mechanics, as I find War Robots to be much cleaner looking and better behaved. While I appreciate the realism the devs tried to bake into it, there's a point where too much realism detracts from the actual fun of playing, and I think they crossed that point. I stopped playing the beta because I just flat-out don't like how it plays. A live game can be installed, but right now you'd have to change your App Store location to Russia. I think they also released it in Asia now, too.
At this point, War Robots is a bigger threat to itself than BoT is. Unless they've made some huge improvements to BoT since I played last, I won't be dropping War Robots for it. Though that's not to say I won't be dropping War Robots.... but that's another story.

So it seems this game will drop on android soon(already dropped on IOS) Do you know about when it will drop for the US iOS store? Can’t find any mentions or timelines about this on their FB, nor about Android. I don’t see it as completely killing my War Robots play but what drew me into War Robots is the 3D physics and BoT looks like a dream in that regard. I hear the gameplay is significantly different but I’m really looking forward to BoT and see myself splitting my time between the two. |

I played beta on IOS and wasn't impressed.
It had a looooong way to go. Battle felt very clunky.
Heres hoping they get it together

I'm just glad the B.o.T. developers were not trying to drop the game on players too soon. I believe they've been trying to run a decent beta but they seemed to have difficulty getting enough participants to help out. It seemed as though it was difficult to obtain invites or to pass them along to others. I was reading about the long match creation periods caused by this. It might be why they decided to early release it in a limited market.
I'm looking forward to it. I stated a while back I'd dump War Robots the moment B.o.T. hit the Android servers and I mean to keep my word on that. At this point I cannot play on the Android servers anyway due to Random and expected punishments for not participating in the unenjoyable. The Amazon servers are starting to gain larger numbers of Shocktrains now too so that's soon to be unenjoyable for me as well.
I started playing War Robots because it required actual player skills and it had strategy and tactics to go along with a team based gameplay. That is no longer the case. Skill is being replaced with the Shocktrain. The Shocktrain eliminates the need for strategy or tactics. Just point and shoot and watch your opponents die. And teamplay has been largely ignored ever since the introduction of the dashbots.
I say this because I very rarely saw any squads before I left the Android servers. And in Amazon it's pretty much the same. The few times I've seen squads there is very rarely a matching squad on the other team. I just got through with a match that had 4 squad members from two clans and no opposing squad to match. Just randoms on my own team(we won btw).
I predict that inside of a year, maybe 18 months if PIXONIC is lucky, that the game implodes due to Random mode and even more so because of the Shocktrains being just about the only weapon being used. And if in that time period B.o.T. makes a successful debut in full iOS and Android it will only hasten War Robots's demise.

When I first saw the dash bots the first thing that popped in my head was, "Did these 「multiple bum-bums」 just rip off Armored Core??" And yes, yes they did. |

Armored Core is not a problem since I have played with that. I also have played the sliding and sledding robots from Heavy Gear.
Lets not forget all the poptarting that started with Mechwarrior games.

I'm going to welcome a change of pace and playing style. Getting in on the ground floor to help the developers should be both fun and frustrating. But it cannot be as frustrating as War Robots is at this time. I've been forced to drop over 100 Amazon matches in the last couple of hours because some ?fluffy bunny?tard at PIXONIC thinks it's hilarious to not only have BR in its own separate mode this weekend but to make 90% of Random be BR as well.  |

To be honest, I don't know what to expect. I'm hoping for something less frustrating to play. Getting in on the ground floor and during testing, there won't be any whales to contend with, at least until it goes to the live server. I've never been a beta tester, so this will be a learning experience for me as well. If I can help build the framework for a new platform, so much the better. |

Do you use crap on a lap as well? She uses that one instead of ?poo-poo? on a stick. Just the one but its good to know there are more. Its a fine line between expressing oneself fully and running afoul of the filter...at least when Pixo is concerned. |

Too bad it is STILL not in the US iOS store...
Why? I'd play the 「dookie」 out of it if it was.
Signed up for the Beta on Android but still no word on that.
And before you say it, I can't cheat and change my apple store region due to this being a work phone.
So, yay for y'all that can play it.

Thanks everyone for the info.... I signed up. I only have about 4 months committed to War Robots, and can see the reason to switch. As you all know, the Amazon server is a completely different experience, but I cannot see that lasting forever.
Also, every time there is an update, the f2p style just becomes harder and harder. Looks like this recent update is the same, so I would like to keep options open. Not quitting by any means, since its fun to me, but there may come a time. I was slightly optimistic for WS2.0... now...not so much.
I was also optimistic for the new BM structure and increased keys. I did mentally prepare myself thinking there were going to increase the key quantity needed for a SC, but halving all the prizes.... they effectively did nothing other than make it more difficult to complete a weapon, and doubling the cost of keys if you wanted to buy them. My feeling is that WS 2.0 will do the same thing.... and the modules, another game killer it appears.
Also... off topic. The card flippily whipilly game is not random.. I know you all probably know this already, but as a numbers guy, I had to have evidence of this. I have flipped the same 2 cards every day for 3 months (Middle left and below). If I exclude a prize on the card I flip, I go vertically adjacent. Every time I get one of the low payouts.... the 20 comps or the keys (I usually exclude the silver). Once I won 500 after 4 or 5 flips, and 2 times I won the 200 comp withn the first 3 flips.... never the top prizes.... The best prize I have received in the first 2 flips are 200 comp and 50 gold. Statistaclly speaking... should have hit the main prize at lease one so far since its a 1/12 chance of getting it, and I have done the same thing about 90 times. Just thought I would randomly share.
Good Hunting
