How many mech games does this make now that former War Robots developers have created?

Yes it's TORN,I have played some alpha games and looks and plays great,they have added sound to the latest patch and game optimization is next to reduce some of the demands for less spec devices.A few well known players like Scape and Tony have been testing for while to help development.

I sat in on a scheduled session today. Seems like that is how they are doing it. You need to know a room number to get into a match with other players. It crashed a couple times on me mid-game but I play on a very weird phone model (LG Velvet 5G - the last cell phone LG officially made). Another player experienced a crash but most seemed to play through fine. BigBear - is it only pre-scheduled matches or are folks getting together to play outside those sessions? |

I’ll stick this here, so as not to hijack dukeofadvil ‘s minigun thread. I don’t know exactly how, but between yesterday and today, I managed to amass 450k credits plowing through my last battle pass tasks - I needed 500k more for the pair of DL8’s. Ever the impatient one, I cashed in 1000 a-acoins for 133k more credits and grabbed the DL’s. Then set to some major weapon and pilot shuffling between Panther and Bastion. The DL’s and pilot Crow (off the Bastion) went onto the Panther, replacing MR8’s. MR8’s and pilot Samson went on the Bastion, replacing the Miniguns. And now I’m resource-broke again, but for this I think it was worth it. Out of all that, my SP went up by over 100, between higher power levels of the DL’s and better pilot/weapon matchups. I’ve only played one tournament game with this new setup, and I’m immediately in love. The DL’s on paper have a LOT less damage per magazine, but they unload (and reload) so much quicker, the damage over time feels a lot higher than the Miniguns. Likewise, the Bastion feels a lot happier not having to stand there taking enemy fire while unloading that 200-shot clip. Time to go practice with the new setups. |

Yes at the moment they are pre arranged sessions with a large time variance to try and suit global players,and usually on a weekend unless they need to test something urgently.They have said they are next working on major optimization of the game as it's a bit demanding at the moment.Beta release is soon so they want to make sure the game runs on most devices. |

Just to check, did you get to play DLs before you quit the game last time? If not, it is all about breaking target lock and going for splash damage with them to get damage amplification. Target behind, above, next to, and below as much as you can. And definitely scour the maps for places where you can land such shots. FYI, that's a very good setup you have going and what I'd play for now, but DLs are also considered the best Bastion build, so when you get to the point of putting EMRs on your Panther, give that a try. Splash damage is why it is important to get the purple DL Damage Radius implant which is the highest priority DL implant. Also, the gold DL Reload implant is one of the most important gold implants in the game. Both appear for A-Coins in the Store. You'll definitely win the purple one in the free implant crates eventually, but I don't know how long the wait will be. If the gold one appears in the store for A-Coins I'd snap it up. Probably will take a while before that happens though. Once you have a solid preliminary hangar set up, it is definitely worth creating a cache of A-Coins to have on hand for when the right gold implants show up. |

Great info about the splash damage and related implant - thanks! No, I did not get my hands on DL’s the last time I played - I think they had just come out and were shredding me up pretty good, and might even have been a big part of why I hung it up. Next time I’m in the mood for experimenting I’ll have to swap guns and pilots between Bastion and Panther. |

So, I don't want to hijack Danny's thread anymore but I'm also highly interested in the TORN game. If the pre-Alpha trial is by invitation only for game time, then I likely wouldn't be able to join in even if I got an invite. It's very hard for me to drop stuff and jump on a game since I pretty much just play when I get a chance. Anyway, I've created this new thread and ask that anyone who has info and updates to TORN use this thread so that we all can benefit. Thanks! war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/50046/new-game-torn-updates |

And another thing I see that hasn’t changed - matchmaker is still a steaming pile of CRAP. I have a 2450-ish SP, they teamed me up with another 2450-ish human and three totally useless bots. Reds had two humans, both well over 3k. We gave it a good fight, but all mechs got killed.
You still get AI that either steamrolls everything or literally runs around in circles. I had a game awhile ago where I watched two of them do the exact same movements in unison - neither doing a thing to help the team. Did a couple of circles, then both turned back toward the spawn point, away from anything that looked like a red, and bumped into the same wall. It was almost funny - if they had been any color but blue.

Ok, I need help for my Panther. It’s loaded up with MR8’s, which are so dreadfully slow, anything beyond close range moving at a snail’s pace can dodge them. It’s basically spray-and-pray with these now, which ain’t quite how I remember them. EMR’s are totally unavailable to me, even if I wanted to pay for them, since the Neon Shop seems to have gone bye-bye. I could buy Longarms, but they’re so cheap, they must also have been pretty well nerfed since the good ol’ days. And I historically suck at long range sniping to boot. Could try the minigun 8’s, which I have on the shelf, but their firing and reload time doesn’t seem to match well with Panther’s barrier timing - I’d only empty half a clip before heading for cover. Panther was great with DL’s, but I like them better on Bastion. I don’t know - any other suggestions?
And while I’m on about it, has Panther gotten squishy lately? Mine’s still just 3.6, but it gets one-shot murder death killed by anything and everything, especially guided weapons even when I’m straddling the stasis barrier. Doesn’t help that blue prints (for this and all my other squadded mechs) are as rare as hen’s teeth.
Should I look for a beefier attacker? Or maybe fill the slot with another tank? I’m at a loss here - feels like a wasted slot right now.

At that low level, Panther is better either as a sniper, support or ambush. MRs have always sucked beyond a certain game level. That was one of my core arguments way back between RPG and MR. If your RPGs are decent level, they could still work cause as I remember, the RPG fire and reload time aligned pretty well with the Stasis Field time.
Miniguns should be ok. I've never used them but based on what I've read, you could start firing them first to spin them up and then quickly deploy shield and step out. Remember, you don't have to empty the mags to reload. You can always manually reload when you're in cover.
MR8 might work better on Bastion anyway. Bait a red into CQC and get them to shoot your shield and then pound them when they're in EMP.
There's always the trusty dusty JR8 if you have that. And when you get the Panther to 24EN, there's always RM12.

Just another thought about Miniguns. Remember back in Punisher days in War Robots, one tactic was to fire 1 to about 50% and then fire both? That way, no matter what, you always had one gun ready to fire.

Longshots work too. At your current SP it might work just fine. When I started using Panther I used rpgs, which was fun. So....you could try those, Vrpgs and MRs, or some combination of those. My Panther dies faster too these days. And some weapons seem to ignore the shield. (Shrug) Still a powerful mech though. Edit: I read somewhere that Plarium intends to nerf the uber AI so it's not so overpowered. So there's that to look forward to. |

MR8s work decently on my Killshot (as replacements for my regreted SG8s).
I've been using RM12s on my Panther for a long while, and it works pretty well in my experience.
You've got mobility, some form of self-protection as well as team mate protection.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I put the DL8’s back on Panther, and MR8’s back on Bastion. But I’m thinking of doing something silly - Pulse Cannon 8’s on Bastion. I have an assault weapon pilot hanging out in catering (Red) actually ready to upgrade to 5*, with a couple of PC implants (damage and mag size). They have a better optimal and max range than miniguns, which should help keep me out of Guardian system crash range, and they unload and reload a LOT quicker. All I know is they seem to shred me up pretty good when I get tangled up with them. I’m thinking they should get me into mid-game, or until EMR’s are available without these convoluted combo offers, when I get to rethink everything again. I’m gonna pass on the Longarms for now - I’m figuring there’s gotta be a reason why LA8’s are so cheap.
On a side note, speaking of implants, I landed the AT range implant and leveled it up to 4, and it really wakes up those AT’s. That extra 10m range is huge. Now if I can just get a AT damage, I might actually kill stuff before stuff kills me.

Well that was a fail. The PC8’s on the Bastion, that is. I bought ‘em, leveled them up as best I could with what I had left, and they’re terrible. Once the Bastion’s shield is gone, it melts away pretty much like everything else. And of course AI knows where I’m moving before I do, so dodging them isn’t an option while I’m emptying my own clips. Definitely not one of my more effective uses of resources. Another lesson learned. MR8’s are back on the big fella, and I’ve even racked up a few MVP’s with it, so maybe I’m finally learning how to drive these things after all.

On the plus side with PC8s, they'll be useful for Accomplishments so you can recoup some of those resources. |

I did score Neymar Jr in one of the events, though, but I don’t know what to do with him. I could put him in the Bastion, but he’d be replacing a 5* Samson, so I’d be taking a bit of a hit there until I get him leveled up. Doesn’t really matter though, because I’m getting 1sk’d by pretty much everything today. Again. I swear they’re loading up my MR’s with blanks, because I’m watching them shoot through reds at fairly close range doing no damage. This has not been a good day. After getting beat down for about 10 games straight, they let me win one or two (kinda like pity sex), then the beatdowns are on again. Might be time to switch some stuff up. On the subject of these higher ranked pilots with 4 implant slots - can you stack multiples of the same implant? Or is that just wasting a slot? |

It's not possible to equip a second implant of the same type - the game won't let you. Definitely start investing in Neymar. He's the 2nd most powerful pilot in the game behind legendaries. Also, I wouldn't take any blue pilots past Rank 4. At that point it is better to get an epic and then a legendary (assuming you're conserving resources and not just going right for gold pilots). If I remember correctly a Rank 6 gold pilot that is mis-matched on weapons still does more damage than a maxed purple pilot that is correctly matched. So lower pilots are just steppingstones to getting as many golds as you can, but Neymar is the one exception that is worth it (although the Guided Weapon/Close Range version is really the important one). In terms of levelling them up, you can be careful when you equip them, so you have your most powerful pilots for tournament. And pay careful attention to the Playoff Events that let you win Pilot Marks too. |

Thanks - I wish I knew this before blowing resources leveling up cheap pilots. Should have known, I guess - standard practice with everything else in this game. . A LOT has changed since my last time around. Actually, let me temper what I said earlier. It could be that it is better in your case to jump from blue to gold and skip the purple pilots in between. Even having gold pilots, there are a couple purples I find useful, where there are more good weapons than gold pilots (snipers, guided, close-range) but the rest are pretty much optional and only for non-meta fun weapons. And if implant swaps stay free, then I don't need those. Also, they just changed the daily pilot tasks from "Play 5 matches with Epic pilots" to Epic OR HIGHER, so you no longer need purple pilots to earn Pilot Marks. You're in a different situation than I was when pilots first rolled out, because I had a hangar and you're starting from scratch. And my strategy had a downside, which is by stopping at L4, I couldn't take my implants higher. While you'll definitely notice at a certain point there is a big damage difference between pilot types, having less Arc Torrent range can be just as big an issue. So taking your blue pilots up to L5 or even 6 and then holding there until you can get golds, could be better. A maxed epic pilot doubles the innate weapon damage if a maxed rare from 12% to 23%. But it only offers an 8% increase on health and general weapon damage (17% to 25%). By contrast, health, general weapon damage, and innate weapon damage for a maxed gold are 30%, 30% and 40% respectively. Definitely look through the database for the costs/benefits of pilot and implant levels. Golds get real expensive at the top levels so it's good to see what lies ahead for saving, etc. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSSkn0ADktTq2CMr8VOObb8i0HKIseT-7ZJBYIRa8hkO4sFF3Z2ZScvWmcrDT81OHEc6N0dBYnzY6ga/pubhtml# |

My take on pilots and implants is to start at Epic and slowly replace with Legendary pilots as I get them. I only went after the Legendaries that I wanted/needed for my prefered play. For example, I got Rosa for JR and actually came close to maxing her before I got Stefania. I maxed Fei but won't bother getting Boar cause I don't really like RM play and only use it for farming in TTDM or if I get pissed off that someone is using RMs against me. Besides, RMs are already crazy powerful so the extra damage boost won't do much.
My only debate right now is whether or not I should keep my maxed Maverick with RG or switch him over to EMs. I don't have Baron but I do have Arch Angel. Right now, Arch Angel is on Redox with EM16 and Maverick is on Guardian with RM16. I was tempted to swap because as the EM16 gets closer to max and to that 75% chance of critical, the Legendary pilot damage boost is not as necessary, whereas the RG16 can use a bit more boost due to it's much lower critical chance. But is all that worth changing things around? I needed a Legendary pilot on Redox for the 4 implant slots: 2 for EM and 2 for Redox ability. Sure, I can move RG over to Redox since movement is similar to Guardian, but Guardian's ability works better with RG cause RG's damage doesn't drop in CQC. But...at the same time, as the EM16 gets closer to max, that damage drop in CQC won't be as big a deal.
