Wow, as if the new Dash prototypes are not OP enough, now they are so fast and jump so far that you even get a tunnel vision! Wait, there's more, you can jump twice without CD time! I really hope pix will not implement them as is. Here are some videos for you to judge yourself.

Completely agreed. That 'double jump' is plain stupid.

Well, I raced across yamanteau in about 15 seconds, so I would say it's stupidly fast

PIX, seriously ...... the things are ridiculous. I was running a couple of different setups on them and they were actually starting to have a dizzying effect on me while running the twice in a row between buildings. If you were standing at center beacon in the middle of Shenzen and see red ones run by between the gaps of the buildings they were going so fast you could barely focus on them let alone get off a shot. PIX is getting a little carried away here.

Looks weird. But if it is quite stupid, then most likely Pixo will implement it.
Feels like they are up to make all of todays bots obsolete, forcing the player base to buy a complete hangar of new generation bots in order not to become meaningless.
Would not be suprised if quite some players will win such a bot during the next event to demonstrate the new meta. This will increase the willingness to spent real money when they will be on sale for “a limited time only“.
Salute, shareholder value!

Well, at least the mk1 is about 100 mph fast, no big deal, right?

It's like teleporting across the map.
Dumb.
And doing it twice?
Double Dumb.
I have a hard enough time aiming straight, without people teleporting around!

This has to be a belated April fools day joke, it's worse than the plasma cannons! No way they would put this through they probably just needed to buy another week to work out the buggy leg mechanics.

No way they would put this through they probably just needed to buy another week to work out the buggy leg mechanics. . I hope that's the case. A little while ago myself (in a Rogatka/Taran) and 2 other guys were defending the center beacon on Yamantau with quite a bit of action. All of a sudden..... nothing. Next thing is a swarm of the buggers flying down the red ramp toward the center. They got up there so fast I couldn't even see who was who. Wall to wall elbows and, well you know. There was so much splash I couldn't see which way I was facing. I tried to jump the Rog and was tangled up with somebody so I just held my firing button down and tried spinning my turret. It actually lasted longer than I thought it would but we finally lost the beacon. It was actually a boatload of fun. |

They can be overwhelming in packs but then again, if you had a few Tarancilots parked in center they would be vaporized on a rush like that.

I am however going to totally take advantage of the ridiculous OP buff this weekend and see what kind of trouble I can cause with some Dash Rabbits   |

Using dash 1 and 2 on the test server... I feel really dizzy after use it for 1-2 hours ( try shooting to another dash robot when dashing).. but... 100% win rate.. @_@ I think this configuration really OP... On Large map (Yamantanu,, Spring Field,, Canyon,, maybe Shenzen): With dash 1,, i can dash from cover to cover then kill a sniper bot (on their warm camp,, I only need +/- 20 second to cross the map using dash 1),, take their base beacon (chasing by angry Lancelot because I kill his sniper bot),, manage to escape and take other beacons and finally died by new spawn sniper...(then i respawn using other dash and repeat the process ) On Tight map (Dead City,, Moon Base,, Power Plant): With dash 1 or 2,, i can dash from cover to cover,, kill some galahad and lancelot from behind (they not realize Im behind them) and once again chasing by angry lancelot,, griffin,, carnage - I manage to escape and take other beacon and kill other bot that not realize Im behind them... IMPORTANT TIPS: when dashing,, you still can control your bot,, you can go left or right,, so If you want to attack a lancelot,, you can dash behind the lancelot with curve move and then if the lancelot turn around to face you,, you can dash behind him again,, and when he turn around again to face you,, you can dash to his back again... really effective using Dash 1 with taran... and usually after the 3rd dash,, the lancelot give up and find other target - if he still not giving up,, you can repeat the process (also work to other bot,, if there are to much galahad on field you can use orkan)...  |

Well wasn't too surprised after a few seconds when I remembered that bubble gun thing that can basically bypass through anything and deal 20-60k damage every 5 seconds within their range :/

I think they are crazy overpowered. I was able to use a MK1 with dual Orkans to double dash inside an Ancilot's shield and take it out very quickly. I did this on multiple occasions before getting killed.

Ever.
At least until they test a medium Thunder that can shoot through walls...

I have to say, this isn't even fun. I messed around for a couple hours to footage for my review, which I almost don't see the point of & then loaded up a hanger full of Rogs.
The double jump might be an interesting mechanic on the big guy, but only if you reduce his current jump distance by 40 %. That would add a new strategic decision (double jump in or save the second for escape?) without it being to OP because the sum of both jumps would only be 20% farther than the normal mechanic instead of 100% farther. Putting it on the other 2 is just insane.
Since this weekend is a total waste content wise, anyone has a fun idea for some shenanigans I can get up to?
