Garbage.
This game gets farther and farther away from a robot battling game every update.
Pix should release an emergency patch removing motherships and all teleporting robots. Don’t Nerf them; remove them from the game entirely. There is absolutely no strategy left in the game. Tragic.

Remove modules, pilots, and drones while your at it. To complete the trifecta, remove the league system too and go back to hanger power matchmaking.
Then POOF! The game is actually fun again.

Every time a scorpion attacks me I quit the game and start a new one. I refuse to let 1 single scorpion get a kill from behind.

Teleporters, yes, and same with damage-reflecting shields, but I disagree on motherships (at this point). The orbital strikes are not that powerful, but used strategically can take out damaged campers. I don't feel like I'm just getting pummelled by them. Pixonic did okay with this rollout.

They made them not so powerful and easy to get because of bad reception. And everyone can max out the starter ship, which is brilliant, it would’ve been nice to do this with the Kid. Time will tell if they break it and pump out the P2W ships. Or, if stupid players complain it’s too weak so they buff it like what happened with the Titans earlier on.

I agree for now. But the more powerful and multi-ability motherships have not become readily available yet. Also there will be the release of turrets. I reserve my final judgement until then.

Even the physics is all wrong with the motherships. Like not even close to being realistic.. I prefer some semblance of reality in fantasy/ fictional situations.
Dreadnaught A4 for example. In the 3D pano views when you look at them in your hangar, they’re HUGE! The thing has a runway for, I suppose, 60-100 ft tall bots to land, get maintenance, etc, whatever... it even has outlines for what appears to be parking spots for bots. OK, cool, so you’re hundreds of meters long, why are you zipping around like an old shoe box over my head when I’m on the green?
You’re supposed to be huge, semi lumbering in relation to the bots on the ground, yet you have no discernible flight path. Even my drones like to hug me and hang out. A4 is not “hangin” out, remember, you’re supposed to be WAY up in the sky... I shouldn’t be able to see you at all, given my targeting/view restrictions, I can’t look straight up. Maybe if I caught a glimpse of one high up on the horizon, I might have better sensory buy in. But you look like a Sunday morning Uber seeker. You shouldn’t be a bi-polar flying shoe box w ZERO detail.
And by the way, where’s the turret on the SpaceMother? Can’t see it. (Or maybe I’m blind, highly possible) Is it mounted on the bottom? Hidden in a radar dome? Edge, top mount? I mean it’s gotta shoot down. Is it really supposed to magically be “on top” of my target? Or is it just kinda “around” and it’s more like an EMP from a distance regardless of angle?
As stated, I prefer a bit of rational physics, a mere tad will do, w my fictional bits and bytes... Reminds me of watching cowboy westerns w my Dad and brother and saying, “you can’t fire that revolver NINE times.”

Little bit of a controversial opinion here, but I actually think pilots are worth keeping. Yes, there are some glaring balance issues with certain skills, but on the whole I actually like them. Since bots and weapons are primarily got and upgraded with silver or event currencies, pilots give gold a defining use. And unlike drones, a feature I’m fine with removing, low-level pilots can still make an impact with one or two good skills, while drones only become noticeable with high-tier chips. Also, pilots compliment their robot, not define it, so they do not dominate the battlefield. I hated pilots on release, but have come around to now actually like them.

Yeah they should just left original game alone, instead of adding all this stuff, they could have had two games instead of just having one. They still can, but their greed has overtaken their logic, Karma will bite them one day.

They still can, but their greed has overtaken their logic, Karma will bite them one day. Releasing two games that are essentially the same game is actually bad for business. A big example of this and how it can hurt a game is Minecraft. The original version of Minecraft was coded on the JavaScript coding language, which only ran on PC, so the mobile and console versions were made on a different coding language and progressed basically independently of the PC version. When Mojang, the company that made Minecraft, was bought by Microsoft, Microsoft merged the mobile and console versions of Minecraft into a collective version that enabled cross-play and consistency across platforms, and also made this version run on PC. However, the original PC version was never discontinued, meaning that there are now two versions of Minecraft existing simultaneously. Thus, the player base and development team are divided between two nearly identical games, hindering the pace that updates can be made at and causing infighting in the player base over which version is better. Additionally, Microsoft’s version of Minecraft is more monetized than the original, meaning if the original was discontinued and players all came to the new version, Microsoft would be making more money. Pixonic would end up in a similar situation of divided resources and decreased revenue, so even if fans would like it, having two versions of War Robots is not in Pixonic’s best interest.

Pixonic is all about the psychological research of gambling. That’s why black market is like a slot machine and events are 3 card monty. There’s randomness with varying levels of dopamine rewards to keep people pushing for that next luck of the draw. Now they are just introducing that randomness to the actual gameplay, anywhere and anytime your bot can be hit. Making battles more random drives people to reinforce their builds to have better odds against the house. In a couple years this game could be really just a slot machine with a little bit of aiming, or wherever the bleeding edge of psychological manipulations leads them.

I do have an issue with one forumer judging content, then rendering a verdict.
Every bit of content added to this game in my 3 1/2 years playing received negative reviews, but later âwasnât so badâ, very few quit for a long time, then the op stuff was nerfed, so everyone was happy, then the cycle starts with the next ne contentâ¦.
Saying a verdict is in, then zero long term/high league players agree tells me this is nothing more that one person, unhappy with the game, feeling like making some noise.
Play, quit, or 「female dog」. Kinda the three choices availableâ¦â¦.

Pilots were deemed useless on release because of conditionals. Cap beacon, down beacon, on kill, et. al. i never have issue with pilots. I think players learn how to build good builds. You know, what are good pilots skills. Drone took spreadsheets, and lots of bad advice. Go for all circle chips and I see every drone same but no good. Same advice buy 5 last stands but I do not use last stand on my Weyland and bulwark. I like old drones. My hanger very strong good builds. New drones simple but way grindier. MS is 0 grind. Give out 10000 free parts to max ship. But very weak. Got some kills with it for low health bots. But not a Titan killer. Really has no purpose in game. Take out or make stronger. For the things that camp the most aka Arthur, MS does bad job. when I solo, I use DD42 In squad, I go support.

Be patient, I’m quite sure much worse is on the way. Pix will make their bank, just as always.

I support this verdict 100%. Motherships are already 「fluffernutter」ing up 6 Pack worse than drones have, to no benefit.
And as for MS effects in the MM? Just another skilless win more button.
As for killing damaged campers, news flash, when you sit behind cover 800m away and kill a bot with a push of the button, YOU ARE THE CAMPER.

I have the Monarch, this thing does 26k damage at level 1 plus 3.5k DOT damage per second and gives 12k aegis shield. I've used it against landing Hawks/Ao Juns and my favorite is against Typhons as it is the only weapons that ignores their built in aegis. Has anyone tested if boosters and things like overdrive unit and nuclear amplifier increases the damage? That would be crazy if it did. Sure I hate being targeted by them but it's obvious they are here to stay and we will wait and see once the cannons and other peripherals are upgradable.

Not to mention, contrary to appearances it's not going to affect campers that much. Campers are going to jump away, PS through it, walk away or just take damage and heal up. Imo, it's going to affect more people who are trying to cap beacons or brawl because that's when your attention is devoted to many other things. That's why I think this feature makes the game much worse.

Remember when Titans were first introduced? They were WEAK. When pix realised what was happening and that the whole Titan project was in jeopardy (failing monetarily), they buffed the living crap out of them.
Make no mistake, pix introduced orbital strike as a really weak addition to the game on purpose because the players did not want it at all.
That will not last long.
They will buff it and or add tons of OP PTW crap in very short order. That is how they will monetise orbital strike. They did not create it for any other reason than an additional revenue stream.
It's going to eventually become a major problem.

A maxed out Monarch does 115k damage and that doesn't include the cannon damage that we can't even upgrade.... yet! A "bonus" 115k damage every 1-2 minutes with the ability to hit them behind cover or under bridges etc is pretty impressive when you also take into account it hits Demeters and others in the circle so theoretically can hit multiple targets for the full amount.

That looks good. This weapon is upgraded zennit. My bots walk out of circle . So Titan worry. Use freeze gun and then OS bomb them. if I play bang Bang : Masters League, there is more advance use of these rune circles. I play so natural to use. But first person not bird’s eye.

I have not really been paying attention to this function in the game until recently. I was getting zapped by golden death rays from on high, so I started pressing the button myself every now and then and off in the distance I would see my target getting zapped. It didn’t do much damage, but every now and then if the reds HP was low I would get a kill. So today I actually took a look at the Dreadnought A42 that Pix gave me. Well it turns out that I had a boatload of A42 component currency to upgrade this orbital ship. I almost always spin for the bronze chest for the gold and silver and I don’t really pay attention to what I get. But it seems as though I have been getting a bunch of A42 components. So today I was able to max out my orbital ship the first time I upgraded it. Now if I am trying to kill a red and I run out of ammo right before the reds HP level is depleted. I just press the little button and get the kill. I don’t spend any $$ on the game and this is a free “Kill Button” that Pix has given me.

It's when you get zapped by maxed out monarch's or whatever they decide to bring out in future that I am thinking about. How long before an EMP or lockdown/suppression mothership comes out? Sure my monarch has gotten me a few kills that I shouldn't have got but I feel a little dirty every time I press that button.... Except when I use it on scorpions or demeters or landing hawks or fafnirs.... Well pretty much everything LoL

The upgraded monarch's are really starting to hurt now.
I'm noticing players are using phase shift just to avoid the blasts.
My poor bulwark stands no chance against them so I have to use my jump module to escape the blast.
Fast bots can still avoid them by running out of the circle so you need to pick targets carefully, go for the injured bots or campers hiding behind obstacles. Those wall staring scorpions are my favorite targets. Those and landing hawks.

So now the new turrets have been out for a while, what are people's thoughts?
130k aegis shields everywhere or 130k damage from the monarch blasts.
The only "good thing" about them so far is that the damage is healable so it is not fully greyed out on the health bar.
I wonder if this is by design or by accident?
Curious to know if the blast also affects physical shields because it does affect aegis and health of a bot
