Wait a second! Where the heck is hellburner! Probably Pixonic mistakenly pressed the ( Moderated) Detonate button somewhere along its development path Suicide bomber bot. Light that explodes when killed, dealing massive AoE damage. Was teased in the Summer roadmap, not much heard of it since.

Sry if this bothers admin/moderators. I am CURIOUS Deliberately skirting the autocensor is grounds for admin action. So if you are CURIOUS as to what a ban looks like, please do continue.

Feeling a lot of this thread. It's like for me, the gameplay itself- ostensibly the reason I'm logging in- hasn't really changed all that much, and the game is still fun to play when I play it. But the original spirit of the game that I found so deeply compelling and attractive is gone.
It's like they paved over my small town, and dropped in Las Vegas.
So yeah, the game's fun. But so are a lot of other things.

I read somewhere that this was a design component of the Taran that allowed it to do the damage it does. A sort of "balancing feature." I laughed out loud when I saw this. Dredd pedaling the fake news Pixonic released. They only said that because they didn't have enough manpower to insert it into the game, and now that they do of course it happening and the Taran won't be nerfed. Sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. You ever get tired of being a "fourth-tier" poster here, a wheedling, whining sort who sends nice PM's but has to be a 「fake pee place」 in public just to "keep up appearances" for the imaginary audience in your head? Trust me, as someone who's been around awhile, you're imitation vanilla.

MEH*SPECTRUM welcomes a new guest author who's starting from scratch after switching to Android. How's the view from the ground up in the modern War Robots era? Come find out!

This is a delightful response that highlights our common humanity. I'm in for the blue-collar American experience, bronzeknee goes for something a little more fascist, but ultimately we both have a love of dance in common.

As I mentioned in another thread. When a government takes rights away, they don't do it all at once, people would revolt. So they slowly take one freedom at a time and at each step people think to themselves "is it really worth fighting over that one single right?" Eventually people reach the point that they almost have no rights, and by then do those last few rights matter? No people say, and then they have no rights. That is what happened here.
All the "wait and see" people (including the author of this article, look at his older pieces) who have been on this forum forever and preached caution should be kicking themselves. You have to stand up the moment something threatens you care for and fight it. We aren't here to be friends with Pixonic, it is a purely business relationship, treat them the way you would a car salesman. But so many preached caution and Pixonic took advantage of it. And now, frankly, it is too late. It would be sad for me, but the wait and see folks spent a lot of money and have the most to lose. I called them out back in July, but here we are. And we all know the old saying "A fool and his money are easily parted."

I run Shocktrain Bulgasari and Shocktrain Haechi. I prefer the Bulgasari, because the Haechi just seems to be easymode. I love the weapon, I hope it an settle into a balanced mode.

I am genuinely puzzled how anyone who has more than a basic understanding of this game can fail to see the competitive advantage generated by being able to field a hangar tailored to the type of map and/or game mode.
The "five bots iz five bots" argument is bananas.

Guys, how about we stop all of the complaints about the MM and the events and get back to offering good advice. This board has become nothing more than a place to post about how bad things have become. The admin team DOES play the same game you play so we and everyone else feels your pain. There is no need to keep posting the same thread with a different title every hour. Find things that work and offer advice. You can't ever go back to how it was. That game, that development team, that community can't exist anymore as they are totally disparate with reality and the situation that Pixonic has brought upon all of us. You can be like Dredd77 and stick your face up Pixonic's rear end and keep thinking your smelling roses... or you can understand that the player base is reasonably upset. If you don't want to accept reality, that's your choice, but right now it's not the choice of the majority of free to play players. Also note: Just because we play the same game doesn't make us equal or our opinion anywhere the same as yours and Dredds. You are PAYING players... you get the nice toys. Most of the people are not; they might also be from communities/world regions where the prices for Pixonic's goods are disparately high and could never afford them even if they were stupid enough too. As such, for the majority of free players, the game sucks big time and none of the 'advances' that Pixonic is making means much to that community (especially since it took a free player over a year to even come to top tier). Dejnov. P.S. Most advice these days is plain bull?poo-poo?. There is no good advice that will save you and your free bots from an onslaught of 6 Kbots. What advice are you suggesting we post... stop playing or buy a kbot. There is no middle ground or skill needed anymore.

Today I'm kicking off a five-part analysis tackling the state of the game now, where Pixonic has gone wrong- and maybe, just maybe some steps it can take to turn things around. Enjoy!

We were promised changes and fixes to the MM as far back as last April, at the community roundtable.
For many, these promises seem to have been broken, as I still read folks expressing frustrations with the MM.
I'll be doing an article that touches on this (and much, much more) shortly, and wanted to get some more current examples of what the problems are, particularly since I don't experience them for the most part for whatever reason.
Any insight here would be greatly appreciated!

Nice work! I've also found the Bulgasari to be more fun than I thought it would be. I run Shocktrains on mine and it's ridiculous fun. I bet it is!!! I would love a set but will prob never happen! Odds are pretty good in our charity giveaway right now, just sayin'

Thanks for the support, everyone! Great progress to goal, but need to keep going to make it. If you're looking to get your hands on Embers, Haechis, Inquisitors, Shocktrains and more, your odds of getting them through your support here are probably leagues better than from Pixonic.

Can anyone win or has Pix preselected the names? You think that maybe, maybe a cause involving sick children would see some maturity out of you?

Because you want to see the real life version of this: You are the stereotypical internet person. A cynic through and throug. Devoid of joy and contemptuous of those who seek it. You would be very surprised, I think, if you knew the full picture. 「illegitimate child」 with a heart of gold.

MECH*SPECTRUM will be fielding a team for the annual Extra Life charity fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Network of hospitals this year, which culminates in one week! Pixonic and Red Button have very kindly put some prizes up for random giveaways to donors, including: * 10 Haechis * 5 Inquisitors * 3 three-packs of Embers * 5 two-packs of Shocktrains * 5 Premium Nellys * 5 Legendary Upgrades Entering is simple! Every $5 you donate puts your name in the hat! Your budget tight but you want to participate? NO PROBLEM! Join our fundraising team, and every $5 you raise puts your name in the hat too! Or do both, for the best chance of winning. It's for a great cause, and a chance to pull together around something fun and positive! Plus as team captain, if I reach my personal goal of $1000... the beard's a-comin' off! Check it out!
