Because content changes from weekend to weekend, it might be helpful if we discuss test servers based on their particular date. Each time there is a beta weekend, I will create a thread like this.

SUGGESTION:
As far as Hawk and Cannibal Reactor go, here is what I feel we’re looking for:
- Does Hawk aerial weapon actually do strong damage to titans?
- Is there now a damage output distinction between hitting titans and hitting regular mechs?
- Is there a noticeable difference in damage to titans: test 3 Antimatter vs 3 Cannibal Reactor on Ming
Previously, with Hawk there has not been a distinction in damage strength between titan and regular mechs, and the damage to titans has appeared weak. Also, 3 Cannibal Reactors against titans seemed weaker than 3 Antimatter against enemy titan.

Heard on Discord that they were initially planning to tweak flamethrowers this weekend, but apparently they postponed it for now. No word on if it was to be a buff or a nerf. I was about to start levelling some Igniters but I think now I'll hold off till the situation clarifies.

HAWK
As it is now in beta, Hawk is a joke, it ain’t no titan killer. Ao Jun is totally sufficient and can accomplish the same thing. Basically, the only real differences are that you have DR and damage redirect during flight instead of stealth, and your aerial built-in weapon can reach 500m instead of 350. I’ve been using it the past hour against Mings and it’s a joke. They haven’t changed to a damage distinction between regular mechs and titans, and the damage to Ming is not much different than dragons breath and embers or vipers. ImUnless they make that built-in weapon super deadly to titans, it’s totally not worth it.
CANNIBAL REACTOR
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I don’t see much difference in titan damage between Antimatters and Cannibals. Will have to test it and report

I think the drones are gonna be useful in tight situations. (I haven't actually been on the drones test server yet but this is what I think) They mentioned a feature about a built in weapons and boosts to your main weapons. And a lot of hp healing abilitys too. I think the best ability mentioned was the healing 8% hp after phase shift. You go in. Do som damage, and you phase shift away before they get to kill you. You get hp healed, so if you took small damage, they basically did nothing to you. |

gekkoguy13This is normal. They did this with Ravana too, now look at it. I’m just reporting that in its current form, we may as well stick with the Ao Juns we’ve already upgraded

Thanks ѻﻭɼﻉ. I’m looking forward to the intel on drones. When they go live i’m Going to hang back and let them get shaken out for around a month. By then ibwe will have a better idea about what drone builds are the best to invest in... |

There's a HUGE (33%) nerf to all flamethrower weapons! Yikes! Apparently, it’s 40%. There’s no official information, but look at what someone came up with from doing tests: Ember: 111,000 ----> 74,002 Igniter: 90,000 ----> 60,000 Blaze: 58,200 ----> 38,800 ? |

Why? Surely the current damage is offset by the difficulty in aiming?

Why? Surely the current damage is offset by the difficulty in aiming? It sure is. I just spent a dookie-load of Silver setting up a Blaze Blitz and I've only got them to 9/10. I've got 3 Igniters to 9/10 and have never found a bot they really sync with. Long-time Ember enthusiast, I've got one 2.4 and 1.11 With all the fast bots out there and Shredder / Halo no longer effective in lockdown I feel I'm lucky to get about 60% hit rate on the flames weapons. It's a high-cost, high-skill load out definitely should not be nerfed. If they get nerfed I'll probably sell them all out of spite. Then again, I just dropped ~50M mk2ing an Aphid I got from a Silver chest just to confirm that nobody uses them in Champs because they suck ?bum-bum? so apparently I'm not making good choices. |
