Just when you thought the game had become silly enough, Putonic go that extra step to remind us that they really don't know what it means to play this game.
Today's relevation is the brilliant move to automatically remove weapons from bots and titans that aren't assigned to hangers. I'm suprised they didn't lose their pilots and modules too.
Is this a move to encourage people to spend more on more hangers?
Is it a move to try and stop people swapping bots/titans around so much (and thus limit the ease of tanking)?
Or is it just another misguided move brought up by some game designer that doesn't have a clue? The problem isn't the person that got the bonus in their pay for this idea but the people that approved it.
To quote Sigourney Weaver from Avatar: "They're just pissing on us without even giving us the courtesy of calling it rain."

I'm 「fluffernutter」ing pissed off by this.
I used paint jobs to clearly identify my 50 or so 6P legal bots that are leveled above 1.6 so as to not accidentally put an illegal bot in a 6Pack hangar.
I put paint jobs I liked on my MM bots because I liked them. Now I have to put them back on EVERY TIME I move them to a hangar?
I have all my titans armed and ready to go for ease of deployment. Now I have to arm them EVERY TIME? Three of my eight titans are now unarmed. 「multiple bum-bums」!
We just completed Light Bot week in 6Pack Fight Club. I had 20 bots armed and ready for deployment back to my Casual hangars for tomorrow, the start of Casual Week. They are now all disarmed and will need to be rearmed.
Not to mention that it is now LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to run another Every Bot War, since I cannot arm any bot that isn't in an active hangar.
Holy 「dookie」 「fluffernutter」 I am 「fluffernutter」ing livid as this change ranges from âmajor inconvenienceâ to âmakes it impossible to play as I wishâ
HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS OPTIONAL WITH A CHECK BOX UNDER SETTINGS, YOU 「fluffernutter」ING 「multiple bum-bums」.

You will play how Putonic want you to play, not how you want to play.

I'm stumped. Did they half-hear a conversation somewhere? The "single button to remove all weapons" thought? You might think they half heard it or it got lost in translation. This is about control despite it being wrapped up to look like something beneficial. |

Seeing the way Pixonic have been going all out lately with - less for free, reduced and pathetic rewards, watch more ads (to get the same reward), etc, etc. I`m going to go with;
"Is this a move to encourage people to spend more on more hangers?"

Some of you do this anyway and it makes keeping track of weapons easier, but I liked having all the bots in my inventory kitted out. I chose weapons that were aesthetically pleasing and it took a lot of effort to swap weapons as they came in. I liked scrolling through my over 200 bots ready for war. At least my show Hangars were spared the disarmament. .  |

What they neeed is proper Inventory organization, but putting a "sort" option on the Inventory, or grouping all of each weapon in a drop-down menu with tags showing which ones are equipped is apparently too complicated for them.

I have all five, paid full price, would buy five more if they let me. But I also have well over 250 bots so those five don't stretch very far. |

Yeah, these 「dookie」 heads did not include removing modules when a bot goes from your hangar. Well done on half arsing something we didnt want. A simple button to remove all, whether in hangar or inventory would have sufficed. Jeez.

OMG yes... Sort bots, weapons AND PILOTS. I've been telling Pukonic this for months now. |

The hilarious thing for me was scrolling through and going "I've got four of those L1 plus two more as special editions? F that, I'm selling those."

Yeah this really sucks for 6 pack players who only have one hanger for it but have multiple loadouts. Agreed with the Op. The person who thought of this is obviously NOT a player.

I can't believe the abject stupidity. In addition to above, I have pilots in bots in the hanger with powers for specific weapons. Now the amount of time to re-weapon is increase. I guess I have to do screen caps and a spreadsheet to restore a bot I like to play.
Yeah, sure, 7500 Au for another hanger - another money grab.
<sigh> It will take me awhile to calm down from this one and strategize on how to play without giving Pix anything.

So every weapon that wasn't on a robot is gone? What? No. Every weapon that was mounted on a bot in your garage, plus paint jobs, was removed and put in the storage where your unused weapons and paint jobs are. You can no longer arm or paint bots that are not in a hangar either. |

The hilarious thing for me was scrolling through and going "I've got four of those L1 plus two more as special editions? F that, I'm selling those." I stopped selling extra weapons when they cut the resale value in half. I won a second Mantis, but it’s worth nothing in Silver. Now selling extra weapons costs more in time than the return in Ag. |

For me. It's of all the things they could of done(some things 75% of the player base would appreciate). And they do this  And say "your welcome." Omg, they must be spending their money on drugs. |

I was planning on selling the Pilots I got from the Gold Chest until I noticed the return. Once all the veterans are gone, no one will ever know how PIX has reduced the value of everything over the years. |

Once all the veterans are gone, no one will ever know how PIX has reduced the value of everything over the years. Leave them alone, they did us a favour by standardising the resale value of those legendary pilots. It was so confusing before. Now it is much simpler to understand, and because the silver amount is smaller, I can read it faster, therefore have more fun. Kind of. Apparently. It is almost like they want us to recieve less silver for free because too much would not be fun for us commanders. So again they are helping us by ensuring the silver total on our hangars is not too big a number to read, thus potentially hurting our eyes, thus potentially affecting our mental health, and lets be serious for a moment, potentially preventing us from dying. So really, we have been given the gift of life. Time to be more appreciative really. |

Y'all find this annoying?
Considering I have like 10 good guns I find it extremely useful
It's annoying as 「fluffernutter」 about Titans because I have to swap one in just to LOOK at the alpha weapon store so 「fluffernutter」 me I guess in that regard but otherwise it's very handy

That's dumb. Half of something is still higher in value than nothing. I also don't have to scroll through as much stuff that I won't be using when I'm looking for the weapons I *do* want. But yeah, it sucks. |

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

Of all the NON-broken stuff in this game to fix this is what they spend their time and OUR money on. SO many quality of life issues they could fix and this is the grand plan.
Like many I switch bots out pretty frequently and really like certain skins on certain bots.
What a BLOODY mess.
