Rebalance data on this week Test Server

When will the balances be in effect?

That would well and truly stuffs Avenger (on top of shotty nerf) for a lot of people. Willing to bet other kinetics are next . If you have been around long enough you would know that Pix has already decided what they are going to do here.

That chart has been posted before....look forward to hearing back from you guys after being in TS, let us know how bad it is......

Oh no you can’t completely shred a bot from 500m out now

Seriously it’s not that bad.

Bit early to call as "not that bad" I think. The static tests in the video varied from an increase time of 8 - 73% dependant on bot attacked and obviously range . I note that the poster of the vid also stated that the test was inconclusive in the games played for a range of reasons (in notes below the vid). Note also using dragon breath for most of it which would have complimented observed damage potential overall. (side note: that is not the latest test server - note date was for previous test server)

I must admit I don't play Avengers on Ao Jun (I use a Bulwark) but I use the range advantage to circumvent rocket damage range (not 500m though ). Knowing Pix, the nerf is meant to be meaningful enough to steer players to other weapons. We shall see.

Meh, this just gets old. Whales won’t care (I’m sure they must get bored with whatever maxed weapons they’re using and will delight in maxing something else), it’s the average Joe and grinders who get disadvantaged again. Maybe it’s time to find another game.

Ok, so, Leach is balanced as it is?

Gonna enjoy that Blitz buff if it happens 

Something is up with the Sparks. I was running a Spark Blitz this morning on the TS and it was way more powerful than I expected. It was cutting through Phantoms like crazy.

In beta, you have to factor in that some people don’t want to spend the time to do all the equipment enhancements with pilots and modules, and there are also no durability boosters, so some targets will be very soft. Same with live server - if your target is soft, it is the result of lower level equipment with insufficient enhancements

It might be that, but if you look at Adrian's vid (about 12:10 in) his Fenrir sure takes a LOT of damage when a nearby Spark/Calamity Hades begins firing on him. He was in resistance mode, but looking at how quick his HP drained it looked like a level 1 Fenrir that forgot to go in resistance mode.




Note: there was a damaged Ares Taser build firing at him (from mid-range) before the Hades engaged, at that distance (and with 1 spark blown-off) it wasn't doing much damage at all; only when the close range Hades engaged did the melting begin. So there may be something to this beyond mods and pilot skills.

Fenrirs melt to my Scourge Spark Phantom too, so not surprising

Actually it isn’t. L8 is merely the ‘baseline’ of all the regular mechs and their weapons. When you start adding maxed modules for durability or damage, as well as relevant pilot skills, the % stack on top of the baseline. This adds a complexity that War Robots didn’t have prior to modules, pilots, and boosters. It means combat performance will vary. For example, if you have damage skills and thermo nukes on a phantom and a target phantom has nothing, was just thrown into battle, the target will melt quick. I have come up against tough Phantoms in beta and mine is also difficult to take down due to the combo of skills, HAKs, BB, and Advanced Repair Unit. When I have just hit battle without enhancing my Phantom, it melts super quick.

You don’t need to get snotty, I’m not in this forum to play games like that. Maybe there is something with the spark. I’m just saying not to discount the difference between enhanced and non-enhanced equipment in beta cuz there is a difference

There is a noticeable difference in the firing mechanic and damage output that makes me wanna replace them. I’m not pleased at all, but there’s nothing we can do about it. As you know, I’m all for adjusting and making things work. It will now take us more time to accomplish what we’re used to, but that doesn’t sit well with me, so I’m working on Vipers in my personal account anticipating this.
