Did not have time to read it, just quickly dropping it here
Edit:
Most important parts below in text format
You won't loose progression. It will come as a regular update. There will be graphics options:
Minimum requirements:
PS: Yes, I was faster than the offical announcement on facebook by a minute or the video being publicly listed on YT by 4 minutes. And no I did not have better thing to do than sitting here refreshing the offical War Robots site every 5 minutes just see the info ASAP as it gets released.

So where can i bet the farm that this doesn't go well? Bets are accepted at the War Robots Royale, but remember, gambling is bad and the house always wins!

The graphics look pretty sweet. I love the textures on the maps. My phone is pretty new and powerful so I'm pretty sure I'm set, but I have a feeling that the new graphics will seriously drain the battery real fast which will ultimately shorten how much time I spend playing.

Yep, so it seems Pixonic did not learn from the last graphics "update" fiasco. They pushed this same update on Steam users, and Pix lost literally half of their users overnight due to hardware shortfall. They then promptly ignored all of us Steam users for months until they quietly rolled the update back. Funny thing is they had a Steam thread asking us what we thought about the update, and hundreds of people were protesting the sudden loss of ability to play. And they did not respond once in that thread. Typical Pixonic.
And now, they are yet again rolling out an unfinished graphics update, but now to the mobile format. Can't wait to see how epically this fails.

It has been thoroughly wrecked and unbalanced to cater to the almighty dollar, so they definitely have the talent. And they have admitted to the coding at the server level being, quote, "spaghetti coding". So they know it is bad. I just wish they would finally, once and for all, get it all to the point where it is balanced and as fun as it used to be.

I've downloaded the Test Server version of War Robots Remastered and I'm waiting to see what it'll be like.

Test Server just opened. AFAIK this Test Server will be using the "Low" graphics setting.

I think the reason for this is that the majority of regular Steam players are whales with hangars of the latest OP bots and weps, maxed out of course.

You’d think that PC players would have higher standards and a stronger aversion to p2w mechanics...I mean look at LoL, CSGo, all the battle royale games...

The community tends to follow the attitude of the game. Unfortunately, since this game has gone to hell, so too has community. Pixonic rhymes with toxic appropriately in this case.

I will hope for the best while I temper my expectations...in the meantime, I just DL'd the test server, to see what all the hubbub is all about. And to play War Robots sanctioned "6 pack" type battles. Nice!

The lighting in the Steam graphics update was pathetic, and pilots of the Griffin will be highly disappointed with the added clunkiness of the jump mechanic. You have to kind of re-learn how to play some robots. Some almost to the point it breaks them, putting a major hitch in use. It needed a LOT of work still, which is why I am a bit of a naysayer on an unfinished product. The plus to this all is that at least Pix is letting us test it on the mobile platform. No testing whatsoever for Steam, which was the biggest problem.

Yep, Griffins on steam were awful back then. Tulumba or any weapon with smoke effect resulted in a thick cloud completely taking away your ability to identify distant targets while your vision is blocked. Excessive smoke and explosion flashes, the lighting on carrier, griffin walking/jumping mechanics were my main problems with it.
I hope they learned from those. I also hope that the stuttering on ramps and 4 leg bot walking will be fixed. So far I liked how the test server played, some robots were a bit too dark though (especially gareth).

Has Pix/Mail.ru ever done anything to help us, or correctly? I sure can not remember that happening....
Can’t see during battles? No problem, just install the 5000au Mr. Magoo module, and the screen clears up for 40 seconds, with a 20 second cooldown....for just 60 PC.....
Gotta love this game!

So after a few games on the test server, my opinion is the update is moving in the right direction. It feels smoother, but still lighting is too dark. The new graphics are nice, but I don't feel like I am really playing an updated game because the screen is so small, and fine detail is lost as a result. But that may be my old, tired eyes, of course. Since I am using an S20 Ultra, I will try it in DEX mode and see if this game has mouse and keyboard connectivity since I find the aiming to be very wonky on Android. Anyone else try this?

I think the reason for this is that the majority of regular Steam players are whales with hangars of the latest OP bots and weps, maxed out of course. As a Steam player now (my phone can't run latest update, it's like the 「illegitimate child」 child in the corner. Maxed hangars from Bronze and a ... 'lost' feeling to it. Like it's plugged in at Pix HQ, but nobody will notice if it gets plugged out.
Sigh, 「fluffernutter」ing sigh. Sometimes my lvl 8 bots get a match with just one or two Au Juns and Leeches.
These are rare, but treasured.
