Complete Set Bonus

[iron drift]

Now I definitely don't entirely support this idea, but consider this:

If you have a complete and matching set of robots and/or weapons, then they get various special bonuses that suit them.

There would be different boosts based on if you had the weapon set and the robot/titan; if you had 4 matching weapons like 4 Blights on a Khepri, then you would get a small bonus, something more unique or not in the game, like +50m range, or -.5 seconds cooldown.

If you have a matching set that has a robot/titan to be aligned with, like Gendarme/Cuirassier Ao Ming, then your bonus would be bigger. Say, maybe your weapons have a faster reload, or less time between shots, or a larger ammo count?

I want to hear how many wrong things people can spot in this. I can instantly see at least 3.

Oh god. You must be mad. What the heck would happen for Reaper Crisis?

Or for Redeemer Behemoth

Or Prisma Erebus?

Or the Labrys Ophion

Are you trying to make Rook absolutely nuts?

Whatever happened to the Ultimate Editions?

5 Sec Ultimate Orkan reload.

Maybe make set bonuses not based on the current meta

Like not crisis reaper instead glory reaper

Not stake lynx but thunder lynx

Not redeemer behemoth but ember/ trebuchet behemoth

The point of this post isn't to correct it, its to point out everything wrong with it.

The three things I spotted were the decrease in player customization, the heavily increased advantage to people who pay, and the dramatic amount of balancing problems this would create.

What if you reworked the idea so that the recommended setups for a bot or Titan got buffed? The 3 you and I see are what kills the idea.

I'm not going to because I don't care to, but nothing's stopping you from doing so.

And honestly the idea itself is the unbalanced part; any sort of bonus because you have a set, which is something you can pay for a lot easier then you grind for, would be inherently unfair. This could also mess up a lot of balancing across the board; anyone with a set is more powerful. This also makes people less likely to experiment with their own ideas; why would they make a Glory Crisis when they could have a Reaper Crisis with a bonus, or even just the exact same type of weapon in general.

Why are you posting this as an idea if you ain’t gonna care about it

[iron drift]

Because I wanted to see how well people could actually see real problems

And unfortunately it's pretty common for people not to care about their own ideas.
At the time of making this the giveaway wasnt a thing, but now it's extremely common to see bare bones ideas everywhere.
