B.o.T - Battle of Titans

New Titan coming, the Ilya Muromets.

From Kyro:

A new contender has landed on the battlefield. This heavy titan is ready to dispatch alongside you, revealing its monumental form and heavy weaponry aimed at anything you deem a threat. It can obliterate everything in its presence with a single fire from its specialized laser weaponry, and overcome any obstacle it faces.. either with sheer swiftness or a fiery of suppression beyond compare. Today, I introduce you to the Ilya Muromets.

This titan is unique in the aspect that it is the first ever titan introduced into the mech lineup with arms. It is outfitted with a heavy laser rig mounted on its right shoulder, which will make use of one of the new weapon types, thermal. When fired, it burns enemy titan armor until they reach extremely critical limits. This can increase its damage potential with continuous fire, but the downside is its limited range and reload speed.

Not only does the titan come equipped with a destructive laser, but it also wields two medium weapons mounted upon its grippers, or in other words, hand slots. If this was not deadly enough, the titan also specializes in having the ability to sprint. This provides it with good maneuverability, but at the cost of less armor when compared to the heavy plating of titans like the Tirpitz.

But that is not all for the Ilya Muromets. The titan may also come equipped with a medium "special" (or backpack) weapon mounted on its left shoulder in future iterations. This would allow it to contend with even some of the more versatile titans currently available.

This is the newest production line provided by the Russian engineers of the Earthling faction. To them, this is only the start of a long, unending race to produce an unrivaled titan amongst the factions.

?? The Ilya Muromets is not yet finalized for testing, but is being prepared for sometime this year. The balancing, design, and more will be optimized accordingly. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about it.

I tried it out and could see the potential. But just couldn’t get that into it. 100% has way more skill needed than war robots. But missed how “big” war robots is. The variety in maps, bots, weapons, play style. Plus, how actually bigger the robot is that you are shooting. They are so tiny in BOT.

For all the superficial similarities, War Robots and BOT are totally different games, even if they do come from the same mind. Recent changes in 2.7 make BOT exponentially more difficult, and they have their match-making issues as well.

But while they may adjust things in the name of balance, the overall effect is not the ?dookie?show War Robots has become - 6.3 being hot garbage. I lose big often enough to better players, but not to high priced gimmick wagons. Learning to master your bot and tailor your gear effectively is key, and thereâ??s virtually no P2W factor at all. I play against humans and AI, against rookies and masters...and whether I win is almost always due to how well I play on the field. Frustrating at times, but spawn raids in the first minute virtually never happen. Strategy and tactics actually matter.

I agree, more maps would be great, but after a thousand matches these last four months, I have not â??figured outâ?? what to drop first, or at which point, even a little bit. Still plenty of challenges on every map, with every team, every hangar, plenty of chances to get it right or screw the pooch - itâ??s all on me - in ways that W!R simply NEVER is.

CKRazor, those are good numbers you post - youâ??re clearly on your way! Check out the discord - lots of first-rate experienced pilots helping the no0bz like me...youâ??ll probably find folks you know from here

That’s only until “Iliya” takes the field...hopefullly, that thing won’t be the death of BoT...but I suppose we must wait to see.... “Titans” by any other name....

Is there a Discord for BoT?

New Titan robot on the way.  This one is named Atlas, no longer the Ilya Muromets.  The arms have been raised for better firing lines.

Nobody sticks around that game long enough for anyone to make anything detailed.

Basically, Fill all widget slots > pay  heaps of currency to increase the "Tier" of the item, repeat until everything is T3.

Black market refreshes every 15 minutes. T2 and T3 items pop up their from time to time, heavily discounted compared to their actual upgrade costs.

If you're not playing it on bluestacks, it's really not worth playing. Everything about BOT is better suited to be run on a PC, from the controls to the lack of graphics settings. That being said, it flops as a game because it's still a game built and run by the good ol incompetents that defected from Pixo.

The bolded sentence is the only reason I don't play this.  I still keep up with the news about the game and read all the Dev announcements in their Discord. If I ever get a PC while the game is still going, I will try emulation.  It just doesn't work on a phone for me... and... most people playing that are doing well, are on a PC.  Facing a majority Mouse and Keyboard opponents automatically puts phone users at a disadvantage.  I may give it a go with my new tablet... but I feel like that will be an exercise in frustration, so... I haven't done it yet.

Bump

Trying it out now. It’s good from what I can tell. How come it NS er caught on?

1) here is a link for the official discord. Great community, super responsive about builds and tactics, a very important resource imo if people want to really play it and get to a level where it is a lot of fun.

discord.gg/bcvWMBH4Uy

There are also full sets of videos for everything. Salty Hyena and Taco Die do the most legit ones.

2) Know that you get more points for and can shoot weapons, legs, and core depending on where you put the crosshairs. Adjusting aim controls in settings and doing custom matches against ai is important to dial in how you like it.

3) Focus on upgrading weapons and weapon upgrades to T2 first. People are free to do as they like, but there are definitely optimal upgrade combinations, so please check the discord before investing currency to upgrade 「dookie」 that doesnt perform as well.

4) History: a brief breakdown, which I may have already written about in this thread somewhere. Basically, atm there is one dev, Sergey (ign Ironclad) who has been quiet for a while, but the game server controls have been given to several admin to maintain. There is currently an active discord community, squadding, clans, and 99% of matches have mostly players. There is no news of any new content but some slight rumor Sergey may be working on the game again, but for now it is what it is and its fun.

Early beta days the buzz was incredible, super active community, tons of clans, clan wars, contests…but then the devs made some major changes to some of the content that players didn’t want; nothing gamebreaking, but enough alteration in performance to make people unhappy. They had their reasons but I wont go into that. The purpose of beta and a lot of hard work by beta vets to give detailed analysis and feedback was to help improve the game, but the devs disrespected this core community by ignoring the feedback. This visibly destroyed the community as we knew it and many people left, including other devs, leaving one remaining dev. Although imo there is currently plenty of weapons, titans, and maps to master, I do understand the desire for more variety, and the fact there are only two maps, two modes, a small amount of equipment options, and a silent solitary dev, does not hold peoples interest enough but for the more diehard players that love the game, myself included. So that is in a nutshell is why BoT did not explode and thrive as a mobile mech game. It has a lot of potential, but unlike Pixonic who maintains its playerbase through gambling and spending addictions, a company like Red Button relied on their community enjoying the game to be the way it took off, so when they disrespected that community, that was essentially a nail in the momentum coffin for them!

5) Lastly just want to say that BoT is very skill based, and that is why I highly recommend watching some of the videos on basic builds and tactics and joining the discord, because one cannot really get a feel for the true gameplay without really giving it enough time to fight a bunch of real players with skills.

I can try to answer questions here, but there are many more knowledgeable sources in the discord. Good luck.

Rewards are scaled for amassing damage (hitting parts). The AI don't care about that always hit center mass.
My beef is getting taken out fairly quickly solely from core part damage while keeping the white dot on the enemy center mass is something fairly unwieldy in Hammer range or more.

Playing on my phone feels wildly one-sided with the amount of times hit vs the amount of times I've landed shots. The few times I actually encounter players are spent being pestered by cormorants or mites.

I’ve been hit mostly in the core, too. I only have a half dozen games in. Still like it.

I need to figure out how to tweak the controls. I keep trying to shoot and apparently hitting above the primary fire button.

Actually, there are quite a few players with names. Maybe 50/50?

Why the Shon over the Mite? They seem like basically the same.


Edit: the matches with the names appear to be abberations.
