A series of revelations - how War Robots must fundamentally change

How does the game constantly place you against players with higher level weaponry, while those other players are players themselves?
If you are outgunned in one match, there has to be someone outgunning you in one match. And that someone, is a player.

I also don't want to be that 'guy',but I'll point out that this is one of those post that doesn't make sense.Quoting someone who has a valid argument and calling it dumb.

P.s. I've read something dumber,but I don't want to derail OP.

I'd love to have the bot and weapon levels removed. It would balance the game. I don't think it will ever happen though. 

didnt say max out, said get to 10/10 and develop some skills to battle max players. a level 10 heavy cost 7M ag to upgrade, thats nothing. Unless you are trying to get to upgrade everything yesterday.....then i don't think you have the patience for these types of games. Overwatch might fit your requirements better.

For me, I wonder "what's the point" with a lot of things. I even don't care about winning anymore, because I know that for every win I get I will "earn" a loss later, as matchmaking pushes me towards my "fair" ranking. 

Deathmatch was fun. About the new weapons and bots, well, personally I think we have enough stuff in the game. The dash bots add a new dimension, but they are not that different from the jumping robots. The Dash robots would probably push some existing robots out of the game - I mean, is there something fundamentally different between Dash and Griffin? Is there a good reason to keep both of them? And I don't  think the new weapons add something that is missing in the current gameplay. We have a rock-paper-scissors setup in the game both in distance and with damage/shield types, and so far I haven't seen something that adds a new dimension here. 

Bottom line, for me the fascination of war robots comes from a relatively simple setup that allows for complex strategies. Physical shields can be countered by rockets and by team tactics (flanking). Rockets can be countered by Anciles and speed. All short range weapons can be countered with long range weapons, and long range weapons can be countered with the right kind of shield and team tactics. But if you add a huge number of robots, or more new weapons, does it really help the game? There is some short term fun in figuring out how the new stuff works. But this wears off quickly.

What would help (I've said it often) would be to drop this stupid new matchmaking, give us back the ability to use fun hangars (weapons and robots), get rid of tankers and exploiters. But Pixo won't do this, and therefore I have jumped on the "just passing the time until Battle Titans is ready" bandwagon a long time ago.

I feel the same way as the OP. We live in a capitalist society which drives the freemium model. Pix doesn't know any better. In China ironically they have balanced the grind with the pay to win. Allowing in game trading. The grinders can earn gold to buy chests with random odds of a good bot or weapon depending on the chest. Then the pay to win guy can buy the bot from the grinder for gold not the in game store. Therefore achieving more balance allowing all to have access to all bots and weapons. Remove weapon levels and add a crew to the bots. Leveling the crew giving strategic advantages which would come from game play. So even buying the best bot doesn't give you the best bot till your crew is leveled, with a variety of crew skills makes each bot individual. Increase the price of premium to $20 a month for a more sold revenue base. It's hard to explain all the fine details... But there are better ways...

The point is the be the very best you can be. If you don't care about climbing rank, then you won't care. Think of the top end of the game. Everyone is maxed out and the game is balanced again. Every competitive game needs this.



This will never happen in any of these cell phone games and I'll tell you why. Monetization. This whole game is build upon leveling up your items and getting new items. The closest thing the devs will never do is cap levels, which is what I always clamor for.

Only thing they may give is another mode where it's fair levels. But the main game will never be fair because that's not what makes money. This is the root of everything. Money.

BTW, if this is like any other game of it's business model, they make most their money from about 2% of their customers. The whales. As it stands, the only way for a new player to catch up is to use gold to speed up upgrades.

That said, I'd love some new game modes like 1 bot deathmatch.



It's not the game forcing you. It's other players making the choice to tank. This is the age old argument in all these freemium games. Game is putting you where your skill level is, just like those that are bad at the game. Maybe you only need level 4 items to get to silver, but what about 「slow」 little johnny who needs level 7 to get to the same rating?

I personally don't agree, but that's the way it is.

We will never get a fair game because that doesn't make money like this model does.



That makes no sense. Everyone is 12 or everyone is 8. Why is one balanced and the other not balanced? Different doesn't mean unbalanced btw. It's like saying lightweight boxer vs lightweight boxer is not as fair as heavyweight vs heavyweight. Logic does not compute.

I'm pretty sure that Ancilot would handily destroy those three bots one at a time. No plasma, no pinatas. KWK main armament. They would be quicker, generally, but he still has rush. How are they supposed to get through that ancile? The four pattons are there purely to drive his hangar score into the toilet, but heck, one of them could still cap beacons early on and then eject into the Ancilot. 

that is just like the old sealclubbing. high level weapons, low level bots. same idea, but with that high bot, you would get pused up higher and have to fail to get bck down. would not work anymore then the old seal clubbing.
