Two things: and the obligatory One thing back: this time it's different. Take it from somebody who played on two different platforms, quit and returned a time or two. Before I was mad about the monetization, left and came back because the game was still good. But now ttians 「fluffernutter」 up/ dumb down gameplay to the point where it's just trading shots. Give me back the game where I'm being blow to pieces by fast "princess" bots with new invincibility skills and I'll start playing again. I'm not kidding here.

For me, over the past year I get around 1/10 really good battles a few total blowouts and a few meh. Now though the bad ones are just soooo freaking stupid with clans of 150x25 Titans that have no counter except an opposing team of $1000+ hangers. The rare good ones are still keeping me in, barely.

I truly believe there will never be another “regular” bot introduced, and this Titan slugfest/shot trade show will take over for those able to pay up. I am blown away at how stupid this has gotten by Pix......

Just my opinion — princess bots and magical powers are as much of a detriment to game play as titans, if not more. Yes, titans have dramatically changed the flow of the game, but at least everybody gets one at level 30 to somewhat level that playing field. Magic powers, and I’d even argue it started with dash bots, have been disrupting game play for even longer. They easily could have added modules and pilots to enhance other aspects of bot and weapon performance without needing them to counter the ridiculous abilities they stuffed into this game. Again, just my opinion.

I have pretty much given up on balanced game long time ago and resigned myself to fact that Pixonic will always be pushing latest monetization schemes. So what I'm saying is that since Pixonic will always be Pixonic at least give me fun and dynamic combat. Instead Pixonic gives me a new generation of tanky campers that don't even need to hide anymore.

It's the formula. Two leeches, rush to the front with reckless abandonment. Phase shift. Phase Shift. Kill 2 to 3. Spawn next leech. Rush to battle, repeat. Then spawn the french Au Ming. Prosper. Throughout all the METAs this has to be the simplest and most destructive. As there is no counter, no strategy, no back and forth. Just sit there and try not to smoke all of your PC before you rage quit because you're getting 1 shot killed from 600m. There is only ONE bot that requires you to close the gap and unload multiple rounds of the most lethal heavy weapon you have, for what!??!?! A chance to kill it. Half its heath. I have unloaded 5 mk2 Viper rounds, and 3 Ares retribution and still not been able to take a maxed Au Ming down.
I get people are tired of the negativity and ranting. But you have to ask yourself, what's best for the health of a game that you really enjoy and have spent many YEARS playing? The power gap is beyond monumental. And simply put makes every game a chore, and the player pool is dwindling. It's just not fun.
Now with the merger who knows how it will shake out, but there are better ways to spend money and time. vs the thousands ( still blows my mind) it takes to level a titan and be competitive in a meta that is eating itself in a infinite power gap.

I accept this is a P2W game but even then I reckon Pix 「fluffernutter」ed up the balancing of the Ming. It was already OP before modules. Premium modules gave it 25% more health and 75% more fire power. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」? It does not make sense why they need to double down on an already OP item so much. And next they will probably introduce pilots and then Legendary pilots. I do not believe that such a huge power disparity is required to sell the damned thing. The game is getting really simple in terms of gameplay. Especially BR.

Two things: and the obligatory One thing back: this time it's different. Take it from somebody who played on two different platforms, quit and returned a time or two. Before I was mad about the monetization, left and came back because the game was still good. But now ttians ?fluffernutter? up/ dumb down gameplay to the point where it's just trading shots. Give me back the game where I'm being blow to pieces by fast "princess" bots with new invincibility skills and I'll start playing again. I'm not kidding here.  A bit late to the discussion. I barely played 1-2 games on average in the past 3 months. Sometimes 1-2 weeks between sessions. Titans were the tip of the iceberg, but phase 「dookie」 and last scam already alienated me from the game after months of trying to play against players that equip them. I donât care about magic powers. You scare them, bait them, they will get taken down after their ability ends. I did that against Spectres when that was meta, I do it against them now. The difference is that it does not worth 「dookie」 anymore if you donât use phase 「dookie」 and last stand too. There is 0 skill involved in this game anymore unless you have those and the enemy too, or you are playing at expert and below. I gave up, they will never remove them, even though they could remove Phase because nobody âboughtâ it, nobody has to be refunded after a removal. After this much time of barely playing, I think I am done with the game. I am not a hard core grinder anymore, not even a casual player, just play for a bit of nostalgia, and I want to see where it all ends. Theyâd have to make serius chages regarding game balance and economy to give me an incentive to play like I used to. I tried a smurf, but the slow progression which results in lack of variety kills it for me. Itâs 「fluffernutter」ing boring. I donât play a game that bores me. Getting constantly smoked by last stand, phase shift gets boring quickly too. So being too high up or too low in the leagues is the same for me, boring. I could tank down my main and keep variety at expert but I donât even care anymore. If they fix the game I will jump back in full strength. This year was too much They try to act like the game is balanced and requires any skill through obscurity. It is the same concept that is called security through obscurity in IT, it is not a good practice, and it is an incorrect concept to balance a game with. Just like your system will never be secure with these techniques, your game wonât be balanced either by them.

Uninstalled. The power creep was bad enough with new content, but they've now gotten really comfortable with nerfing stuff into the ground too. I just can't get on board with that. Hopefully I can manage to stay away for good this time. A shame because my hangar is about as meta as it gets and now it goes to waste. Oh well.

When a Titan hits a Behemoth Iceberg it will sink.
