3 new robots probably in April. Fernir, Loki & Tyr

so, loki is a basically a pursuer that must come OUT of stealth to use it's weapons.

Of course it makes perfect sense! Because taking down bullwarks with 3 light weapons un-stealthed is like taking candy from a baby!

I believe it was Fenris, a clan mech.

PIXO should take design classes from glorious clan engineers.

Don’t worry someone will call it balance because you can pay to win with Quantum Radar

Aka Hellbringer.  

I got a whole batch of those in Mechwarrior Online.    I relied on them as my staple.




There are going to be common names between Mechwarrior and War Robots.


Griffin





Stalker

The hammer is a built in ability with Swiss-army capabilities of either a quad-Zeus (come on, man, 8 is just silly ?), thrown up to 800m as a ballistic speed hell dive w 100% chance of critical hit on all targets in a 150m radius - everyone loses a weapon or is injured/speed reduced, impenetrable shield or flight. During flight, it can still act as either Zeus or remote hell dive. 

I just want to point out that when the Pantheon Bots appeared on the test server they had all sorts of crazy extra abilities: Speed boost, self-healing etc.

Pix eventually dropped those abilities.

These Ragnarok bots may end up very different when they show up on the live server.

The Mechwarrior Griffin looks like the Dougram from Fang of the Sun Dougram.

Looks like Loki could give Ares serious trouble. Also, it’s going to put real pressure on PCs with all the Quantum Radar engagements. It really is becoming full p2p, not just p2w.

Ah well, I’m easing my way out. Playing less and less these days and have gone from Champions League 8 to CL10 to CL15 to Champions League 20, and currently sitting at the top half of Champions League 30.

My first reaction:
Fenrir is begging for double ecu and double ancile set up.
Loki would make it easier to break up Ares train, for what that’s worth.

Dude, i play mobas that already comp those names. Fafnir, Fenrir. 

Fenrir sounds like a BS damage tanking b*tch to me, move the 50% damage resistance on top of the Aegis shield so you have to become vulnerable to attack at full power, switch and increase speeds, and no to that 1 second swap, too fast imo, 3 seconds.



Ideal balancing:

Scout mode: 2 Medium slots, 36 km/h, Aegis shield durability 40000, Damage resistance 50%.
"I'm slow, but i'm watching you, and good luck taking me down."

Attack mode: 2 Medium slots and 1 Heavy slot, 56 km/h.
"YEEEEHAWWWWWWW"

Mode switch: 3 seconds



I kinda like Loki, if they'd make the stealth only last like 10 seconds on activation but you can keep running after your stealth runs out it'd be perfect, also cooldown switch to nerf stealth spam.



Ideal balancing:

Attack mode: 3 Light slots, 60 km/h.
"Move fast, kick a*s."

Recon mode: No slots, 90 km/h, 10 second stealth.
*Drops smoke grenade* *Holsters weapons* "ZOOM!"

Mode switch: 5 seconds



Dunno how to feel about Tyr but i feel like i'll have a problem with it as well. 

But they are pretty robots, i'll give Pix that. 

Opinions? 

I was thinking "The Swed Siege Pack" but that sounds even funnier with context.

Your wish is granted.

Fortunately the last time it got settled in Battletech/Mechwarrior's favor.   This settlement happened last year. 


Harmony Gold did not license Dougram, the rights of that still belong to Sunrise, which also owns Gundam.  

Turns out, after the latest legal spat, Harmony Gold does not really have rights to characters and mechs designs in Macross, since they are non creators.
