My question is why make a new rog when all you really need to do is change the old one.
If they decide to release the new bot i will be displeased.
However if they just update the rog into this new prototype i will be happy.
Anyone else's thoughts on this.

What's wrong with having new robots? Companies in every industry are always coming out with new and innovative things..

Whats next a large slow bot with 3 heavy hardpoints but this time they are mounted on the side. I know lets have a robot with a dash ability and 2 heavy hardpoints and and ancile shield. Or how about 3 robots one light one medium and one heavy with physical shields. And so on and so forth. I am all for inovation but at least try to inovate.

My question is why make a new thread when all you really need to do is change the old one.
If you decide to keep the new thread i will be displeased.

Pix has to be careful with releasing more stuff. While it is an easy cash grab, it's incredibly obvious and lets to more development/balance problems in future. Though I have to ask, where is this info on a new Rog?

The proto bot also jumps differently than a Cossack, Rog, or Griff. The proto's ability is called "dash", which is more of a horizontal leap in any direction, rather than vertical. You can't jump obstacles or jump-shoot as you might with the others, but you can dodge fire or unload & dash behind cover quite well.

Makes it sound like they're using the 'warp' bug that happens into the feature for a new bot.
Add ons for existing bots would be kind of cool.
Where are the details for this new bot?

I got agree.
Just give the rog this ability change It's boosters on back to be looking backwords .
Give a fire effect out boosters when ability is used.
No need for new bot.

I disagree. The Rog should always stay as 2 Cossacks duct taped together. I want something shiny and new.

Hopefully they don't pull the same garbage as with the quickdraw bots, and if they do, they release he quickdraws as wsp bots.I'm all for MK 2 bots, but if they release a super Rog, they better make Rog Ag. The quickdraws weren't worth the event prices, and definitely aren't worth the same price as the Knights.

Where are the details for this new bot? From the test server email: — New robot prototype (HP 150K, speed 60 km/h, ability cooldown 4s) The proto bot has two medium weapons/hard points.

One of my clan members suggested that the bots would be used or Capture the Flag.
It kinda makes sense.

What if we applied the same OP argument to car manufacturers... Irrelevant car manufacturers have things like the laws of physics to deal with. Not to mention government regulations, real money costs, supply chains, and a bunch of other stuff your strawman does not account for.

Pix has to abide by those things too...Why can't Pix make new robots? That's kind of what they do. I drive a Rog and I don't think its broken or in need of a buff...I am not afraid of new robots entering the competitive scene. What gives? It seems you are being unreasonable.

I didn't knew about that new bot. Pixonic is making a bloody mess with this game. It's getting more and more complex, when they actually should be aiming at the OPPOSITE direction, fixing bugs, balancing existing gear, improving MM. I'm getting more and more skeptical every day.

The only major thing they have to abide by is imagination or lack thereof. Simply changing the position of hardpoints, the angle of the jump, and marrying the legs of a gepard with the body of a golem does not scream creativity. The pulse weapon was at least original and tries to bring something new to the game. How about you start posting multiple memes so this thread can get locked too.

Stop baiting a flame war. Pix can and will do what they want ...I am looking forward to the new bots...some might flop; some might be great. But, to criticize the effort to create new content does not make any sense. Are you scared the new robots might invalidate the ones you have bought and use or something?

Planned obsolescence is how these companies make money. They need to regularly release better things for players to spend money on.

The prototype is essentially a rip-off of the Rog with more HP and speed.

No I simply see it for what it is. The least imagination required to earn new revenue.

I would hardly call the prototype a rog. Other than two medium weapon mounts and a jump ability (which is more of a sideways dash, not a true jump)
I would probably only use a rog if I won one in an event. But if this new bot gets released I would get one fo' sho'
4 second cool down needs to be upped imo. Otherwise it's going to look like a heard of kangaroos jumping all over the place.
