So guys this is the 3rd weekend for Jump and Dash modules. I think it's going to happen and just a matter of when. This is the second week without the Titan Quantum Radar. I know many of you are saying it's coming whether we want it or not, but I feel Pixonic is being cautious about it. They second guessed it on the first test server reveal. Then after they ran it for that one week on the TS they've not run it again over the last 2 weeks. I feel pretty comfortable that Pix is having reservations on how to release it or if they should put it on the shelf for at least the near future. Pilot system rework?? Huh? Anyone have an idea what this is about... Here's the full list of the test from Pix:  |

Knowing Pix a "rework" just means more gold to increase pilots. Wouldnt surprise me. I havent heard anything though so very curious what it means.

I hope they add more pilots skills then. Now that would be a project I'd be really interested in grinding towards.
Not sure if they've well and truly benched the Titan Quantum Radar. It just seems way too Pix of a module to not get released.

Yay to a Nay to quantum radar for titans.
But I’d actually much prefer a Nay to the disguise unit.

Unsurprisingly, the new pilot system is completely a scam. lol
It doesn't offer anything new, just a way to force players to spend more gold to get what we already have on live server.

More details please. What does it do? Have they increased the gold price? Have they introduced more pilot skills? |

It looks like it's confirmed that pilots now has tier 1,2,3. Basically pilots going to have their so called mk2 n mk3 stats which yes requires more gold. Pixonic is the worst gold digger in the world by making this game endless upgrades and it's soon to be a pure pay 2 play game to win.

Pigxonic is the worst gold digger in the world by making this game endless upgrades and it's soon to be a pure pay 2 play game to win. Tier 3 is what all skills are now, basically, so if you train a new pilot, you'll need to spend EVEN MORE gold just to get them to the point where they are now. In addition, LPs can upgrade past Tier 3 to Tier 4, which makes their skills even better (for example, Tier 4 Mechanic healed 0.63% of your HP per sec instead of 0.5%, iirc). Regular pilots seem able to get Tier 4 skills if you're lucky because they can pop up when you do a random skill reroll.
Overall, yep, this is just another Pixonic resource grab. 「gosh darn 」 it.

Would getting pilots upgraded to higher levels before this hits make any difference? |

If you joined previous test server and set up your pilots' skills, you will notice that all the skills will be T3 this week. I believe all the existent skills of you pilots will be transformed to T3 skills automatically. So... yes, I will try to train/upgrade my pilots more before the new system hit the live server |

But itâs not retroactive right?
So all the skills we have now carry over?
Thatâs so 「fluffernutter」ed of them. But you know pretty typical.
New players will be totally 「fluffernutter」ed.

It would be interesting to see what happens with the skills that don’t upgrade. The ones that are simple on or off, like Yang Lee etc.
Also if you retain an existing Tier 3 skill does it zero back to Tier 1?

This could be the most f***** up this Pixonic has ever done. |

So basically it's a way to make the bots more resistant to the Titans.
It's a buff at cost of gold. Instead of balancing the gendame they are doing this...here comes 3 min BR games!

Really hope players down-vote the crap out of the Pilots change. Maybe Pix should actually provide ONE Pilot for each Bot before they start messing with the whole system.

How is it gonna be resistant to Titans with things only going up 2%? This is a whole lotta nothing to me. They’re just trying to distinguish Legendary Pilots from normals. |

This isn't encouraging, BUT, this is in the early stages so let's not worry too much yet:

My gut says they will convert out existing pilot skills over to the equivalent tier that gives the same benefit that we have now. They may not, but there would be outcry and a very legitimate case for refunds on Au bought in the through the various app stores. But obviously new pilots and new skills are going to cost a pile more to upgrade than they did before.

.5 to .63? Lol ?whiskey tango foxtrot?? And people make a big deal about this ?dookie?? People on here are quick to complain about anything that pix does, and act like it's the end of the world and will doom the game. Fact of the matter is this: Pilots have been out for over a year now. A lot of players have had enough time to get and upgrade the pilots they want to an optimal level, to the point where they aren't upgrading them anymore. Outside of pilots and modules (which have been out for over a year and a half now, and face the same stagnant problems that pilots are now facing, outside of introducing new modules and pilots) there isn't a whole lot of value and use for gold. Since a lot of players are now satisfied with where their pilots are at, a lot of them are questioning what to do with their surplus gold (there's been treads on here about this), which is now starting to pile up. So this new pilot system is a way to keep the game moving forward and gives people a reason to keep playing and earning gold! Say what you want about this ever changing game (for better or for worse), but one thing is for sure, it never gets boring as there is always something new to work towards. That's what keeps people like me playing this game even after 4 years. You haven't reached the finish line and still have stuff to do. |

.5 to .63? Lol ?whiskey tango foxtrot?? And people make a big deal about this ?dookie?? It adds up, mate. 0.63 is 26% more than 0.5. That is a pretty significant bump. Multiply that by every other skill and LPs will be quite a bit better than their regular counterparts.
Let me give you an example:
Regular Fenrir pilot vs Santa (discounting his unique skill) driving a lvl 9 Fenrir: 10% vs 12,5% Armor expert 15% vs 18,75% Tough Guy 0.5% vs 0.63% Mechanic 2 BAK and Last Stand
The regular Fenrir will have 439 506 effective HP and will repair 21 975 effective HP per second. Santa's Fenrir will have 459 853 effective HP (Over 20,000 more effective HP (4% more)) and will repair 28 970 effective HP per second (over 32% more than the regular pilot).
And that's just a 1.9 Fenrir. Imagine a fully tricked out 2.12 Fen with maxed HAKs.

MK2 Pilots. Great. I don't even have any lvl 70 ones Mk3/Mk4 actually. I'm glad I don't play much anymore, as for everyone else I have a feeling people are still going to throw cash at this, Including people currently complaining about it here. |
