After the new MM, my Gepards got parked. They never make it into the hanger any longer. Sure, they're quick, but they get killed so easily.
I wish that I could sell them for 1/2 of what I paid for them. I have six. That is 7,200 Au.
Nope. I have to sell them for silver. So, they sit, collecting space dust. I only scroll by them now and never let them play any more.

tbh I think the gepard situation is the biggest betrayal by pixonic, and why now, even that clubbing and farming is done, I won't spend money. I would, since my main goal is heavier weapons at higher levels, but what if they get buffed? all 5 of my geps are useless to me. I see one in a hangar on occasion but they're just too fragile to hang anymore
really frustrating. feel like they owe us a buyback program

So you spent gold to get a hangar full of geps so you could club and earn a bunch more gold, but now that clubbing doesn't work like that anymore you want your seed-money back?
If I'm way off base and you folks were running a bunch of lvl 8-9 geps and enjoying it then I apologize, but I'll bet those geps are all currently sitting at clubber levels right now... And if so, I can't say I feel to sorry for you.

Triple Aphid ambush Gepard should work fine

I still see a lot of Aphid Gepards on the battlefield and they seem far from redundant to me being as they are good cappers and still pack a punch.Yes a hanger full of them is no longer useful but maybe your complaint is more geared toward you cant just run around blasting newbies with you Mags instead of putting a bit of time and effort into learning how to get the best out of your still useful bot.Give it a try you might like it.

I have to ask, why 6 gepards? 5 is a full hangar. Why invest in a spare for the parking garage?

You can still use a Gepard for Aphids.

Well the only thing you can do is hold onto them in the hopes that one day they'll be worth Gold when sold.
Take this as a relatively cheap life lesson though, don't put all your eggs into one basket. Or if you're super stubborn don't specialise too greatly because of the nerf hammer.

This MM wont work at some point, and they will make a new one. Stuff that ain't good today, maybe great tomorrow. The only consistent thing about PIX is their inconsistency.

In case 1 got lost or broken  @ dude Full gep hangar usually meant only one thing...a thing that was the major reason for new, not-so-prefect mm being introduced. So unless you have a set of L7+ geps (which would be indeed a loss for you and a reason to make claim), keep the head down and don't complain really. Myself I like geps a lot and was using one still recently, now retired and replaced with db Griffin. |

I was so frustrated being clubbed all the time, the first thing I bought when I had enough gold was a Gep. But it wasn't my style and I mothballed it. Now I wish I bought a Gareth instead.

Not surprising, the first thing a newbie is introduced to tends to be the business ends of tri magnum barrels on a gepard. Pixonic even made it an entry bot and recommended it to new players. I don't regret my purchase since I want to own one of every bot in my hangar. It's my RPG genes wanting that 100% completion. But yes, I would rather have a Gareth to do my light bot daily tasks. I don't recommend selling any wsp or gold items. Not worth the conversion. |

I don't recommend selling any wsp or gold items. Not worth the conversion. Agree with 1 exception - some seasoned players may need Ag more than WSP (no way of spending it if you bought all you needed and have a pile of WSP with no use for it) and therefore may consider buying wsp goods and selling them right away. No way to make it actual Ag income, as getting the WSP costs more Ag than you can get back...but in case you have plenty and no way of using it, could be a way to go... |

Same, but I like my Guep. Sure, it is really borderline useless now (the worst is to see a Gareth faster than a Guepard...) but with three Aphids you can still compete... sometimes. It is a very expensive setup though for a robot that will not last long most of the times, so I would not recommend it to anyone. Buying a Gareth is obviously the way to go, especially considering they cost basically the same. |

I run my Gepard with aphids. But then again, I won it in the Xmas event, so I didn't spend any Au on it. It packs a wallop, but it doesn't have any staying power if you get cornered. I'm going to replace it with a Gareth after I buy a couple of Orkans.

There is no rule that you need to be able to use everything you ever bought, and games like this change all the time. It's how the devs make money, to sell new stuff. Also it is conceivable that we'll have a future game mode where they make sense. And those who bought 5 of them, well, I'm shedding no tears about them.
But yes, all players who upgraded small and medium robots should be angry. Gepards, well, but Rogs are now just as useless, and came in at 2500AU. Ouch.

I'm going to replace it with a Gareth after I buy a couple of Orkans. I bought a gepard with that starter package. Was very useful, having a Gep and 3 Pinatas, a real gamechanger. It collects dust now. At least I never upgraded it over 4 or 5 or something. |

And if so, I can't say I feel to sorry for you. Nope. I usually only ran a couple along with Boas and a Patton. I loaded them with different weapons (which is why I have six.) I don't like changing weapons. So, your assessment is off. I actually earned my Au mostly with Boas and brick fighting. Just loaded a few geps with them to fight off the clubbers. If you read my OP, then you might understand that I would like to sell a few off for Au rather than silver. |

What is missed is that I have every robot in the game other than the gunslingers. I actually miss running my Geps and Boas. Can't today because they get completely destroyed. If you look at the hangers of the Legends, they are all Furies, Griffs, and Lances. No diversity at all in the top 20-30.
Now, I run my Gary for light stuff, but still liked fighting with my Boa/Gep/Pat hanger. It was fast which was fun. Now, I feel that the game is in slow motion.
