This technology is complete BS and will cause a lot of people to quit. Will you also say no to this new tech?

I can't make a judgement yet. I personally would love to try the Phantom, even though it epitomizes Pix's sales strategy of creating problems and selling the solutions. I can see people running these, and as soon as they get rooted by an Ares, teleport back around the corner. It's like the character Yo Yo's power from Agents of SHIELD. She can move super fast in a heart beat, but must return to her point of origin.

It seems to basically be just another version of “stealth mode. No doubt pix will someday introduce an “anti-teleport” module, which will be just another version of Quantum Radar.
Round and round we go.
Does lock-down ammo keep it from teleporting? If it’s not over-powered I don’t think I will mind it, I find the Loki to be quite entertaining even when I don’t have Quantum Radar.

Am I saying Yes or No to teleporting robots? Or saying Yes or No to saying no to teleporting robots?

No - but only because I will not pay for it! Check back in 6 months.

TBH I’m pretty meh about it. It’s not like 8 guns/invincible or 3 heavies flying stealth that lock me down and I cant do anything.
It’s just escapability.
Course, now that I say this Pix will add an ability before it goes live to lay an egg with a nuke inside just before teleporting so it kills any bot around it.

I'm super curious to see what they come up with next! What comes after shields, stealth, lock down, pilots ... blah ... blah... blah... and now teleportation?! I mean... what the heck's left?

I can’t afford to “say no” to anything in this game...if I can get it, and level it at least to 8, and still keep the roof up, I’ll play it.
That said, I wasn’t so impressed with Phantom on the test server. It’s a pursuer with a trick, and it needs two: the trick it needs is to be unobserved and unwaited-for when it activates. At the end of the charging around and shooting, it blips back to where it activated. If a red sees you trigger, it can just sit right there and wait for your return...low health, empty guns, a sitting duck.... that knowledge will spread fast, and players will look for it.
We already have pursuer skills (maybe), this will likely not break anything but the patience of pursuer-runners

I vote "YES" to say no to teleport robot. But do you mean to vote "NO" as a sign to say no?
where is maybe?

Considering we tolerated a God Shield wearing speedster with obscene firepower being let loose on the liveserver, fighting against a teleporter with moderate firepower and speed/health seems pretty tame.
As long as it's not OP, I couldn't care less.

Do we know if a rooted Phantom can teleport?

I vote "YES" to say no to teleport robot. But do you mean to vote "NO" as a sign to say no? where is maybe? No means no and yes means yes. No = negative response yes = positive response. Can't be much plainer than that.

Indifferent to it for now, not ecstatic about it...too many bots, too many weapons, too many specialties, too many dollar signs, *never* enough Au or Ag or time
A teleporting pursuer? Oh yeah, sure...why TF not....
I’ll quit when I’m over it, and they seem to want me to decide soon

I'm more concerned with Phase 「dookie」 than the Teleport tubbie. Besides without Pix's nonsense we would run out of things to rename.

If it is balanced or less not many will want it. if its OP they will be selling like hot cakes. Just like all the others before it.

I vote no. Only because I want to see how pixo tops it while keeping to a robots theme.
Im waiting for the unicorn bot that can cast spells.

Teleport Bot is ok if you can see the beacon on the ground and you can shoot it to prevent teleport. This should force the teleportation mech ability to go into a cool down until he can drop another beacon. If not, then yes this is broken.

Do we know if a rooted Phantom can teleport? Yes it can. A benefit I took advantage of quite a lot... get locked down and teleport back to safety. I am looking forward to it. It was extremely fun to play. Will I be able to afford one... probably not until the workshop.

Teleport is Pixonic's answer to all the lag problems they have. I mean bots are already teleporting. I'm confused about the poll though. If I say no to teleport bots, do I pick "yes"?

Can't be much plainer than that. Actually, the wording was confusing... you ask the question "will you say no..." and then give the options of "yes" and "no." Reading it literally made me think the same as the people who commented on it. Not trying to be a Richard (even though that's my name...), just explaining where the confusion came from.
I think most folk voted the way you meant it to be taken, though.
I say "yes" because the Phantom looks fun but not game-breakingly so. More fair than the Sphincter and the Ares, by far. Behemoth, though, might get a "no" from me... depending on how things play out.
IMO, YMMV
