Yeah... I think I just need a really good offline game. Haven't played a good one in ages. My all time fave is still Soul Reaver and Legacy of Cain...lol, yeah I'm old. I've been thinking of a type of offline, low-interaction game I used to play. It's called "reading". I used to do this more and it made me happier. I think I may be switching back to this game soon. lol This and board games...because I'm getting bored with all of this online game hyper-monetization. |

One big potential problem I see is with mech ability enhancement, in particular effect radius. In the video you only see "Caustic Time" for Redox and nothing for Zephyr, but if they offer anyway to increase their ability radius, as they do with Brickhouse that is going to be a real issue. The fact that there is an increased Dash distance for Surge shown is not encouraging. More hidden power completely wrecking folk's ability to gauge the situation and spot smart counterplay. As it is, the increasing amount of hangars with both Redox and Zephyr are turning some tournament maps into nothing but peekaboo play. Even if they don't start out with this stuff, they can add it in later and at the pace they are going they will soon enough. All this content is just way too fast. Even War Robots had a few good years before they just broke down the dam and started flooding the game with pilots and drones and magical nonsense at a break neck pace. All I have wanted from the devs for quite some time now is: 1) Fix the lag 2) Fix the Dash bug for Killshot 3) Add clans 4) Let me move the dang emoticon button 5) New tournament maps Instead it is a torrent of gacha, junk I'll never get to use, and less and less playability, and all of it getting unleashed at lightning speed. Uggghhh... Hidden abilities is not cool. Zephyr come up to me if he can change his zap radius it is no longer a game of skill. I have no idea how close i can get. Same with Surge or KS, if i have no idea how far they can go how do i approach them? Also it is a skill timing reds cooldown for the ability and reloads times...skills we have been working on for over a year. Not liking this one bit |

It isn't actually reading butbit is training you to enjoy literature more. |

I seem to have this mental block with respect to reading these days...just can't seem to get into it. Maybe I need to go back and re-read my fave books from my childhood, like Sword of Shannara or Swan Song. Me, I’ve just got a pathetically short attention span. Always have as long as I can remember. Did horrible all through school because of it, even right through college. If it wasn’t interesting to me, I couldn’t/can’t get motivated to pay attention to it. Grad school and the MBA program somehow changed that, and I ended up acing it (solid 4.0, baby!), but otherwise I still can’t read anything for more than 10-15 minutes before my mind is scrambling for something interesting to do. I’ve got a stack of books that I thought would hold my interest enough to actually read, but most I’ve gotten maybe half way through - if that - before they got put down for good. Im sure if I were growing up today and not 60 years ago (not that I ever actually grew up, mind you), I’d be diagnosed with ADDOS - Attention Deficit Diso … Ooh Shiny! |

Archero is good, you need wifi for it but its almost completely singleplayer btw, as for pilots, to me it doesnt look even half as bad as War Robots, cant you buy them for credits, no legendary pilots, and no random gatcha bs for skills? Definitely not as bad as War Robots, but War Robots kept tweaking them, to increase revenue, long after they originally dropped. Hoping Plarium doesn't repeat this here. |

We can all keep hoping, but Plarium are releasing pilots against the players original wishes when asked about them during beta,and even now against an obvious negative wave of feedback on Discord and FB groups. They are pushing pilots for a reason and I honestly don't think it's for the players fun and enjoyment in this game. |

Test server videos confirm that pilots will have the ability to increase damage.
Mayer made a Carb 12 juggy video and with the pilot, the carb 12's deal 844 per bullet instead of 777, meaning a 10% boost.

10% doesn't sound too bad as long as they keep it there and not have incremental updates for "rarer" pilots and so on.

Watch this mess , it’s just plain silly. If pilots hit the live server at this strength and capacity, the game is over.
Edit. 25 plus HP increase and weapon damage range increases too. What kind of knothead thought this was a good idea?

My eyes are bad. At what range was he engaging with the AT10s? I saw some well over 40m kills. That's just plain awful. I know the vid speed is ramped, but he was killing things left right and centre, even playing it super aggressively for a glass cannon.

I know the vid speed is ramped, but he was killing things left right and centre, even playing it super aggressively for a glass cannon. Pretty damned far. I am pretty sure I saw some 70m+ hits… def 60m+. Stalker increases damage dealt while ability is in play, add to that the extended range and damage boost from the Pilots and you get a big fat ’dumb’. Guess I’ll be playing more Halo Infinite, Project Wingman, and whatever else strikes my fancy on the Xbox if pilots come out like this. I donât have any real hope that these test server videos and the Players’ reactions will do anything to curb the dumb. Plarionic is in full ‘take it alllllll!’ mode. Mobile gaming has pretty much soured my soul. MA was probably the last mobile game I sink money and time into like this. Ah well. Good for them I guess… squeeze players till the last drop and buy that new… whatever it is that they wanted. Too bad no one gives a 「dookie」 about quality games on these platforms. I’ll give BoT another try, I guess. It’s still F2P friendly with very little spending as far as I know. Hopefully they have another map by now… |

Uggh, way too soon. I had hoped for another year before this game flushed itself down the toilet. Ever since the global release it has been nothing but bad news and more bad news. Looks Like Plarium is trying to make all tje same bad decisions that Pixonic made, but do it all within a year of goong global. |

Scape has done a video of Lancer with Auto Cannon,even this low class weapons was carving up the opposition,reduced reload and ability timings along with increased damage and armour.
When pilots drop it's going to be a 「dookie」 storm on the battlefield,if you don't drop money into pilots you will just be making up the numbers.
Foggy is releasing his video soon and from what I can gather he is not impressed either.

If Pilots get implemented like that vid above with the AT10s, I think I might just pick up and upgrade AT10 for myself. That was a killer weapon.

Welp. As many of you now know, pilots are here. Color me confused….. Is it just me or are any of you reluctant to jump in with both feet? The gist of it: Pilot rarity controls how many sockets they have and how much their base bonus is. Just like mechs, one per. Pilots gain XP through combat, which is why it costs coins to level up. RANK UPS however, are unavoidable, and like with mechs: Coins. The pilots are categorized by weapon types. Any pilot can socket any additional skill, but their weapon type archetype is set in stone. Socketed abilities are upgraded by the currency gained from scrapped socket abilities. The only way they've actually "balanced" pilots, are the same way they "balanced" mechs. Only one per. So, to use the highest rank/rarity pilots for your entire hangar, multiple weapon types are mandatory to get the maximum benefit. Otherwise, 5-10% boosts at base. Judging by the sockets and every pilot being 1 star upon acquiring, the numbers are likely going to be in the 20-30% range for boosts at their max upgrade. |
