If they made "War Robots: Legacy", what would you take out?

i would go back right before the influx of the dash bots. Where the Galahad was one of the best bots around and the ork ruled!!

and i forgot about the Thunder Carnage...where you 「dookie」 your pants when one came charging at you.  

I enjoy the complexity of the current game, but when I’m in the mood to play legacy I just make a new account or play test server. I also use to play 6pck but the politics, the lack of tactics by my teammates and their refusal to listen to reason, and especially how uncoordinated matches were with people not showing up really put me off, so I sold all my 6pck stuff.

But, if they released a War Robots: Legacy that did not allow any content to be upgraded beyond 1.10, Legacy being anything pre-Dash, I would run the following:

Aphid Jesse
Orkan Rog
Griffin Deathbutton 
Plasma Ancilot
Zeus Fury

This 100%. Foe me the game was best when it was Walking War Robots. I would say its peak was just before the Brit Bots came out. I miss the simple days of just level 12, no modules,pilots,drones,titians. I do like all the new maps but could do withput the rest. Oh yeah, and ads! Back in the day you just played. Granted ads are nice for speeding up upgrades but I would glad take that away to not have no less then 10 ads pop up EVERY TIME I open the game. But, back then there was a big player base that did spend money so it wasn't needed to pay the bills like it so obviously does now. 

Oh man, go back to my beastly toaster (Boa). That thing was like a pittbull chasing everything down and blowing them away.

Gareth running and dodging fire was cool. Rogatka agility and jump was superb.

I came back to War Robots last month, however I lost access to my then current account (lost access to the email account it was bound to, and I have a lot of emails) So I had to load up a really old account, yep it's still there, checked my hangar - 2 Orkan Rogs, a Zeus Carnage (I then remembered I used it as a sniper) and a Leo with Thunder/Pinatas. Didn't have the 5th slot open. Even had a Golem sitting there missing its forgotten brothers. I see a lot of people talking about simpler times, and I kinda have to agree, I do miss two Fujins side by side would be extremely difficult to deal with, Rhinos charging are actually scary, Ancilots being one of the best tanks etc. Now everyone (myself included) are zooming at lightspeed with multicolor shields, last stands included. Seeing my old account, I yearn for the days when blue and physical shields were the only things to think about. A new game mode perhaps? I'm not really up to War Robots lingo, if pre-dash was prior to the Kumiho/Haechi/Bulgasari releases then that might be a good stopping point.

Milty my eyes! I got vertigo reading that list. Next time post them horizontal with a camas in between...but yay me a made it!

Edit: Was weird seeing a dragon bot in there, then again I remembered it's nowhere close to the other 2 & was mentioned in my comments about being one of the most underpowered "blue" "special" bots.

I find all of those bots have a level of fragility and uniqueness. The shield power on some isn't that over blown. Blitz is the hardest one to say yes to. But if you reduce the Aegis' power a bit and just make it good against zappy zaps it will have a good counter. 

Falcon won't have a Pilot so not so ridiculous tanky. 

AQ is a nice bird with nothing really making it an impenetrable flying flame breathing dragon. AG and Inqui could almost sneak in to be fair. But AG should loose its internal rockets

Well, orbital strikes are an easy out.

I think the downhill decline began with the purple shield gang.
Lock-down and suppression could be dealt with. The Raijin still had a good shield and could climb. Vortex was still effective. The first support robots back then would have been yellow tier. No pilots or drones. Paint jobs were released for all robots, not just new ones. Components were eventually released for all robots. Events had guaranteed prizes that measured your effort rather than success.

Plenty of things are being overshadowed by newer, more powerful things, like the Scourge to the Skadi, the Storm to the Havoc(debatable), and the Ember to the Bane.
The Raijin to the Jaeger doesn't count because the Raijin was weakened instead of the Jaeger being stronger. It's still bull「dookie」 though.

Also bringing in the limit to 1.10 makes sense. I like the list of robots above except for Invader - it has special abilities (suppression on land or something?) and would need to be excluded. Blitz I'd be ok with. Also restore some hitting power to Orkan, Storm, Gust.

I was thinking about this some more and I think "War Robots: Legacy" needs to be where you start. The "Remastered" game is just not fun as a beginner. Once you join leagues, you've got maybe half a dozen basic bots and all of a sudden you're facing titans. It is just awful. Remastered should require level 30 pilots, Legacy should welcome all pilots. As a new player, for me it was fun up until leagues and then it was just enjoyable because opponents can have too much shiny.

"Oh but can't use my my Mk3 Bane that I just bought!" - that's the whole point. Focus the game on gamesmanship rather than wallet.

I don’t wanna seem like a puckering arse kisser by liking every single one of these comments, but I did. Because I agree w pretty much the entire thread.

There’s some serious OG and more than a few heavy hitters here. Instead of it just being “oh, Pix inhales golfballs,” or “only pay to play,” it’s actually semi-constructive. My only true desire for the longevity, playability and fun factor for this game, and the constant need for draw of potential players, is that Pix would listen to this kinda thread instead of the constant disposable trash talk.

2¢

I did it recently. It starts out normal enough, you even still get to fight the AI Shutzes on Springfield. However once you hit the leagues it becomes seriously apparent who just opened their wallet and who didn't.


And it's pretty dumb seeing Titans in Bronze League, especially as you can continue just pulling wins out of your 「bum-bum」 because no one knows what the beacons do.

What I'm imagining though is starting at the being as a complete newbie with zero experience of the game.  Not knowing the bot mechanics the weapon ranges and affects. Trying to learn game play and tactics with all that sit going on. 

「fluffernutter」 it would be hard.  When I started there wasn't even britbots. Weapons were only 1100, 800, 500, 350, 300mtrs. And they only hit, zapped or blew up.

I don't know exactly....there are many fun bots, but only one gave me a lot of adrenaline and needing careful piloting.

The Hover.

It has no offensive or defensive buffs, and vulnerable as hell when in the air. But when i go in flight mode, going behind the reds, snatching beacons, ambushing (or steal kills if you may), and most fun of all, making reds chasing me in circles. The last harassment is especially fun (and downright irritating to the reds) on the Yamantau map home beacons (Hover fans will know where I meant lol).

But magic bots like Revenant, Scorpion... and magic weapons from Erebus, Typhon... killed the fun.

Or The Strider. I like to call it the ground version of Hover. Equally annoying as hell lol.
