Mods: I apologize if linking to other sites is not allowed. An interview with Pixonic's COO over at PocketGamer.biz came out today. Figured we would all like to get any information at all from Pixonic's elusive staff. An interesting snippet from the interview: Question: What are the specific challenges involved in running a game that's built around multiplayer? Answer: The top three issues are connection quality, finding the correct robot and weapons balance, as well as troublemakers who ruin the experience by abusing the game's loopholes or by constantly logging out of matches. |

Cool
Noticed this:
What's next for War Robots in 2017 and beyond?
I’ve said this before - we have massive potential.
We're releasing a new mode soon, our first step in experimenting with the gameplay. New robots and weapons are also almost ready.
We're also preparing to launch new functions that will allow players to organise duels and tournaments on their own. Some users are already doing this, and we’re responding to our audience’s demands.

Also kinda confirms that one (maybe more bots as it says robotS) new bot will be added at least |

"We're only just preparing to release viral mechanics..."
Somebody want to translate that from geek-speak to english for me?

Events and sharing event currency within your Clan could be seen as viral mechanics. Stuff that is indirectly in the game but isn't actually playing the game. Usually it's social stuff though. |

Always thought it'd be nice to be able to trade weapons within a clan for a small gold fee. Had guys grinding for gold to get an ancile or something like that, while I have an extra in my hangar. Of course they wouldn't go that far I'm sure, but stuff like what you describe does serve to make the game feel bigger. |

Really hard to say as nothing was in testing for all we know they could come out with a last man standing battle mode. |

Regarding the first article, is he talking about the game we play, and the company that makes it? The accuracy seems lacking

Clan Wars would be easy to do. The basic game play is already there. Just need a tournament or points system.
