I like the drone simplification but the new "shield" slot is totally out of control! Just ran a match where a Demeter did a constant cycle of heal --> phase shift --> drone shield --> heal --> PS --> drone shield ...
This is beyond stupid. Now that every bot has a shield, this game has become a total stand-off. Yay!!! Two bots facing each other, unloading everything, and doing nothing.
What fun!
Addendum: Holy 「dookie」! The lag is absolutely abysmal too!

This has to be one of the worst pigsonic ideas. When Ive first read it I knew this will be pure BS. So now what Shield Breaker on all or 4 out of 5 robots ? The green crack usage will skyrocket... Pix creating new problem so now its time to sell a solution in form of shield penetrating weapons .

This a design coming from orbit. So, it goes with the speculation on a mother ship.

I left feedback on the test server that the sheilds should last longer, but only activate once per deployment. Granted when you use a shield drone you're giving up on other valuable slots, however it is quite annoying.

Simple Pixonic Plan: More Shields -> Less Damage -> Less Silver -> Incentive to buy Silver.

Drone simplification? That's why I run shieldbreaker on my Ao Jun (my primary bot)

Recently had a battle with against a Fenrir and Shell with my Minos. On top of all the suppression, lockdown and freeze effects now I need to deal with shields as well 🤮 Bots getting more advantage over titans.

Pretty much the Pix devolution plan all along IMO.

Pretty much the Pix devolution plan all along IMO. Its pretty brilliant, actually. It’ll get more people trying to get those chips AND it makes the older guns that aren’t as bursty to be ALL made more useless without actually nerfing them.

We are always angry. But then the numbers playing continues on.
Some people like to say the numbers leaving are going to leave more and stuff like that.
Wishful thinking really. If you dont think so then ask why are we still having this discussion?
And how long before we do it all again?
People still play by the boatload. So pix will continue as they please I guess.

Haha! I've been F2P from the beginning as it was obvious the P2W ideology was starting with the Dash bots. It's only gotten 1000% worse since then and my playing time went from 1-2 hrs a day to about 1-2 hours a week. My "newest" bot is a Nightingale. My favorite bot is currently a Pursuer with lvl 10 scatters - run around capping beacons and annoy people. Trying to grind the scatters cus I think if I get all 3 up to MK2 somewhere, I could really dish out some damage too. Course, they'll probably be nerfed by the time I MK2 them.
I whole-heartedly agree that people who are spending money on this crap need some time with a shrink.

ItâÂÂll get more people trying to get those chips AND it makes the older guns that arenâÂÂt as bursty to be ALL made more useless without actually nerfing them. Its brilliant along the lines of an A.I. whopper supercomputer, that can tweak any number of gears and levels at any time in order to keep you in a constant state of frustration? There I go running my fingers again... My philosophy hasnât changed, if you are determined to ENJOY the game, despite the rigged matrix they throw at us, you can find a way to do it...IF you stop caring about their silly ranking mindãfluffernutterã system, are willing to experiment and change up your tactics and half-「bum-bum」 adapt to their never ending meta cycles.

For the record, I spend money on this game and will continue to support Pixonic as long as they don't mess with the UI so much. The only time I took a break from the game was 2 years, Christmas 2018-2020 because of the Christmas event being crap.
I don't care about OP bots or nerds, I only care about Christmas and the old music.
Pixonix provides quality entertainment. If you have a problem with drone rework, take it up with people like 'Summoner' it can be debated just how much his own personal adventures in drones isn't what triggered it(with no consequence to pixo)
Dude, they are laughing. Stop doing the same 「dookie」 expecting different results.
When you drop 26kusd in drones and pixo nerfs it, YOU DON'T SPEND 26 MORE KAYS IN USD TO GET BACK YOUR META.

Stop doing the same 「dookie」 expecting different results. As someone who also spends money, it's not out of ignorance of how pixonic does their business, they run a gacha system with intentional temporary power imbalances to drive sales of new content, and are ultimately most concerned with their bottom line and how much money they can extract from each player, whether it be through ad revenue or direct purchases of content such as equipment, resources, event tokens or keys, etc, And they do actively exploit the lack of self control of certain people with limited time offers for prized content, Power is not fully gate kept by money, but the ease of access to that power most certainly is, and anyone who decides to spend on this game should be completely aware of this, and accept all the implications that follow. Invest into a new meta? Be aware that investment might reduce in value in about 6 months, And you're paying a premium for early access, and eventually that content will be cheaper and more easily accessible. Been playing for about 3 years, I know the drill, been through nearly every meta of relevance, and seen the shifts and cycles, and I do enjoy the game, and actually do enjoy the direction the game has been going, Plus theres builds that are old yet still very viable these days, demonstrating you don't always need the newest thing to compete, I'll spend if I feel the value I get from that purchase is worth it, and if a particular bot or weapon doesn't interest me I won't go for it. I completely ignored the emg meta, have plently of them but I don't use them, and still don't, ignored ravana and hawk, ignoring the shell and demeter and newer rocket weapons, the orochi and sonics though? Now those interested me, I love fast bots, I love close range weapons. Currently my entire hanger is focused around brawling or ambushing, and I also know what it's like to use nerfed gear, My Cryo Ares? Nerfed, My Taran Glory Fenrir? Nerfed, but also semi meta because of the wolf pilot, My Corona Leech? Nerfed, My Sonic Phantom? Nerfed, and I have the new Sonic Orochi, Which I leveled devastators for despite knowing they were getting nerfed and that a newer meta was going to be pushed soon, that's how the game is, and the cycle never ends and will never end, so it's about choosing what it is you want to do and pursue that, Constantly chasing the newest thing to always have the best of the best will just leave you with a empty wallet and regret. Like Orochi was not an impulse purchase, I spent a long time saving up gold for the specific purpose of leveling a new pilot when it came time too, and saving up silver to be able to get upgrades going right away, and Orochi was exactly what I was waiting for, got the modules and weapons ready, got the bot, pilot, and skin, and then got the pilot maxed and the bot is at 2.4 currently, 2 Maxed ODU's and a Maxed Last Stand, jump unit, and also 2 2.6 Devastators I'm working on bringing to 2.12 as we speak. Not a totally ftp way of doing things, but despite what people think you don't need to drop 5 grand an update on this game for new content if you approach it wisely and plan ahead.

I've always said, the real bad guys are players. Players and youtubers are the actual problem. To me this is incontrovertible. Pixonic is nothing more than a normal run of the mill company doing what every single business on the planet is doing regardless of sector. There is nothing malign about pixonic. Nothing. I dun kno about saying that the behavior isnt malicious because everybody else is doing it.
I mean like that 'defense'(?) has all kinds of things wrong with it already, doesnt it? lol.

On paper it's not malicious. I don't see anyone protesting Starbucks or any other company that pays people to prey on human insecurities and exploitative practices. There ARE things wrong with it, but it all boils down to the consumer. And whether you or I like it or not, the consumer right now, is saying "PLEASE PLEASE DADDY PIXO RAMM IT RIGHT IN ME DRY I LOVE IT OH YESSSSSS, HARDER PIXO I LOVE HOW YOU ABUSE ME AND MAKE ME PAYYYYYYYY FOR IT" and really, the same applies to any company, just change "pixo " to Starbucks, or Johnson and Johnson (a Family company) Amazon, apple etc... The spenders are the problem. Don't agree with something? Stop telling them it's OK. Every time you buy a coffee what you're really doing is saying "Dear Howard Schultz, thank you for sending 12% of your gross annual income from SBUX to a certain country by way of military ordinance, platforms, and materiel"
