It's as if they have put all of the weapons into a massive junk drawer and the non hangar bots into the shed out back.

So much trouble to arm and test weapons or to switch bots for certain tasks.
Makes me want to troll the matches even more to encourage the newbies to leave the game way before getting suckered in.

I went nice because they yell at me when I swear at them. Not that there's any difference either way. Now their bot is asking for details of the problem I experienced in game to help the team determine what's wrong.

Anyone that's been playing long enough has more robots on rotation than they do hanger slots. Guarnateed. Someone claimed on reddit that it was a performance thing. Only if the programmers don't know what they're doing. This is just another control. My bet is Pixonic think it will somehow discourage tanking because it will be harder to swap out your weak bots for strong bots. nup. Won't they profit from more hangers? Not enough. This is just one dumb 「bum-bum」 move, so dumb that I'm surprised the Excutioner didn't come back.

Unplayable. It’s all pretty to look at, but it’s like they want us to go away. Already done for some of us unfortunately...8.6 was the straw that broke the Camels back for me. Now I'm back to free the play Walking War Robots (but under a similar name of the current War Robots) and anticipate a smaller amount of WRF play when it releases next year.

Now their bot is asking for details of the problem I experienced in game to help the team determine what's wrong. If I send a bot to the museum I always remove the weapons and premium modules so that I can use them on what I replace it with and would rather have them in my inventory so this change makes sense for me, well except for the removal of paint jobs. Your scenario also makes perfect sense so they should have just made a "remove all equipped items" button instead of taking that decision away altogether. They just have a way of making simple things become complicated..... Drone chips, boosters, game currencies, tokens, modules, on and on it goes.

Anybody know if Frontiers will use your existing legacy War Robots-remastered pilot ID and account and all it's inventory?
The poisonously optimistic (read as: mentaly masochistic) region of my mind produced the following thought...
What if all these hiccups, bugs, server-derps, blue-screen-o-death, LAG, and most of all: this FUBAR of an update to the inventory UI are all downstream consequences of the onboarding process of our hangars migrating into the Frontier's game?
Have not seen any YüToober play Frontiers with more than a single hangar. The changes we are experienceing on Android and iOS to our inventory UI do make a lot more sense in the context of the format like Frontiers that (thus far) doesn't use multiple hangars.
LIke I said... as a poisonous optimist (most Hover-havers are) this was an interesting thought🤔

6 Pack was full of rants about this last night, so that was interesting to witness! Anyway though, I know this is heresy, but I don’t purely hate it. I do surprisingly like how all my weapons are in my inventory to be easily seen, as I did have a habit of loosing some of them in random bots inside deep storage. Beyond that though, I hate the paint job removal and how this is not optional, just like everyone else.
What really puzzles me though is why they did not do this for modules though. If anything, modules are the one thing I would want to be automatically removed from bots when packing them away. Yet another brilliant move by Pixonic where they just force a half-baked “quality of life idea” upon us…

What we all wanted was a "Remove Everything" button for robots that weren't in hangers. Well, remove everything except pilots and paint jobs. We still want to be able to arm things that aren't in hangers. What we got was maximum inconveience.
As well as having armed "bots not in use", I've also incompletely armed some bots where I'm building weapons. That gives me a way of "reserving" weapons for future activation & showing me what the completion state of a 'bot is.
Sure I keep a lot of bots unarmed that aren't in the hangers but many of them are also armed and as above, I often want to arm them *before* I move them into a hanger.
There are many things they could have done to make life easier in this space yet the feature they implemented was the one that actually makes life worse.

Yet another brilliant move by Pixonic where they just force a half-backed “quality of life idea” upon us… Thank God they did not do this for modules. Unlike many here I suppose, when I get a passive module I slap it on a bot and forget about it. I used to not use passives, as I avoid using actives, but eventually I decided ‘what the hell’. I never level them and have several gold ones that still aren't mounted somewhere. One day. One day. If Pix included them I would, as I have with paint jobs, simply stop using them. It's not worth the inconvenience to me. I'm still overly pissed about this days later. The toys are so close to leaving the pram. It has absolutely impacted my playtime in the MM and the number of hangars I build for 6 Pack. The limited view they have on how their app gets used continues to astound me.

Lets take a look at the pilot upgrade experience. Versions 8.5 and below: - find pilot on robot that needs tier upgrade - make sure robot hass weapons - promote pilot
Version 8.6: - note robot you want to use for swapping, check its weapons and paint job. - find pilot on robot that needs promotion - swap robot into hanger - put weapons onto robot - promote pilot - find original robot in hanger and move it into active role - equip all the weapons you had before
What about this new method is better?

If I were to do what you suggested, I'd need 10 hangers.

Another action that this makes a lot more difficult than it ought to be is swapping positions in a hanger of two bots.
Because there is no ability to select a bot in your current hanger, to swap positions for two bots means needing a "swap location" that can be an inactive bot.
Now this swapping means that both bots need to be re-armed after swapping location.
Why would I swap bot location?
Because if I have my robot locations lined up to correlate with the drone I want to use then I want to have bots in very specific places.
It doesn't matter how often this is done, what matters is that Putonic have made it more difficult than it needs to be.

people need to be super careful with this and keep a close watch and tally of their inventory since this is the perfect method to snipe some of those weapons from you......all bots unequipped means it makes it difficult to tell if pix has ...on the sly....removed weapons from your inventory , on a bot you can tell what's equipped or not and if anything is missing but when in your inventory unless you keep a log it will be much more difficult too see if anything is missing, perfect method for them to get you to spend more because you need a certain weapon set that you already had but now your down 1-2-3 I may be wrong but I think if they tried that you could straight up sue the 「dookie」 out of them

You are all to blame. I want you to semantically prove me wrong. Remember when Adrian Ching had a tantrum like a 「meow」 because a forum member once asked him (politely) if he ever took money from pix? And that member was moderated, and when I came to his defence, you people banned my original account? Yeah I remember. The leadership here actively moderated gestapo style anything that led to the financial truths behind YouTubers. You did this. Pixo didnât do it. You did. You sold out your own fellows to save some YouTube pig his pixo sycophant coin. You Judasâs fellow players to simp for pixonic while HILARIOUSLY, taking a gander at any given thread, you crap on how awful and villainous Pixonic is. Absolute hypocrisy, This latest change of dearming mechs is surely another thing in the long list of things that were in some way shape or form demanded by players themselves, the âcommunityâ, or a YouTuber. Directly or indirectly. Iâve said this ad nauseum many times; you(yâall collectively) for exactly what you wanted for BUT NOT THE WAY YOU WANTED(expected) IT This literally goes back to pre workshop. Stop crying. Stop blaming pixonic. Stop blaming pixonic. Stop blaming Pixonic. And by the way, Russian mobsters donât fly you out to Moscow and treat you to food and lodging and heavy alcohol expenses just because you make good YouTube videos on the internet. You need help with that brush? Looks far too broad to paint with easily.
