In my opinion this update is terrible possibly even worse than the Autumn 2023 update. The hangar is so complicated movement sucks and everything else combined together makes the game feel bad gameplay wise.

Good Points

  • Warping from the hangar looks really good
  • Fenrir's are not as dominant now
  • UI looks great its not perfect but its alright
  • Matriarch's Healing ability looks really cool
  • Reflector having a slower charge rate is good
  • Scourge looks good now

Bad Points

  • Warping onto the map is terrible
  • Movement is really delayed, like after 1 second of pressing space your robot starts to jump/fly
  • Some cycle gears feel like they take way too long to charge up
  • Common Pilots shouldn't have legendary pilot talents
  • I can still here every bolt and pierce of metal when my robot moves
  • Loki's animations are even more terrible
  • Workshop is absolutely a mess to create a robot
  • Some of the Balance changes never came, why is that?
  • Loading into matches takes too long

Thats about it that I can think of but just say anything else and I will add it to the list

I feel like it's a stretch to call this a bad update, as it's mostly a playtest and hasn't been advertised as a seasonal update. I somewhat agree with your points on the hangar, creating a robot can be tedious but certain features have made it easier (such as click on parts to change thank goodness this was added). That I believe can be fixed with the readdition of the parts taskbar and inventory grid view when building.

I'm not sure which pilots have legendary talents, could you say which ones? (although I agree with your statement). Some cycle gears do need their charge amounts reduced, but that's an easy fix (homing missile especially) I don't know what you mean by warping is terrible either. The movement might be a bug, but changing that would be beneficial, as sluggish isn't exactly fun.

And there are legendary skills in common pilots (see post from ZBC in wrf general) so I agree with destroyer here. There are some cool features, everything else is pretty meh

I don't know why the devs don't just listen to us when it comes to balancing, we simply know better in that regard

#

Thank you for sharing your feedback here, Destroyer! Would you mind adding more details on the points you mentioned? For example, the Workshop changes, what would you like to be improved, and what do you find especially disappointing?

#

Speaking of the balance changes, the team is making decisions based not only on player feedback but also on internal data. Please feel free to share more details on what you think should be buffed/nerfed or completely changed

Also, "possibly even worse than the Autumn 2023 update", eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh. No. This is the best update they've delivered IMO. Yes, there are issues with it. But this is normal.

#

biased as always i see

placid spire
#

"IMO". Is my opinion. Not trying to be biased.

#

If I like something more than the others, I will say it. Nothing wrong with that.

wicked ocean
#

not my point

#

my point is you seem to be blind to the mistakes the devs have made

placid spire
#

I see most of them. And it's fine. Games come with issues all the time. It's normal.

#

Also Fenrir is still the best torso.

#

ok it took me 15 minutes to assemble a hangar

#

how much more complicated can you make a mech builder

It’s not that complicated. It’s very similar to their old system. I think with the addition of a few missing features that this one will be better

placid spire
#

It's just a matter of getting used to it. things change, their location, how they function (sorta), etc. All we need is time to get used to it and provide feedback of what might still need changing or improving.

I agree with most of it, but I think it's good for common pilots to have legendary pilot talents. The advantage of the legendary pilot should be the switchable talents set rather than the exclusive p2w talents

Ultimate pilot skills should be unique to their respective legendary pilot.

It's P2W if it's OP. If the unique skill is 10K Armor regen per kill and it's exclusive to a legendary pilot, it's P2W. If it's 5% extra shield per titan kill, it's not so P2W and just a unique skill.

The worst part of this update is the robot build menu. I liked being able to "scroll" through the parts with Q and E. It feels so much slower with the new system, having to click in and out of each part. You also have to press space to install stuff, which is super unnecessary.

# brisk pivot I understand your thinking, but if they don't provide a way for free access thos...

The legendary Pilots are able to obtained by playing the game.
They are not exclusive for paying players.
Common Pilots will replace legendary Pilots, if you have 5 common Pilots with the same Rank 5 skill as the legendary Pilot.
The only thing being different are the Rank 1-4 Skills.
With each of the 5 Common Pilots having different Rank 1-4 Skills, it essentially the same as having a Legendary Pilot you can switch the Rank 1-4 Skills around.
Meaning we wouldn't need Legendary Pilots in the first place if we can archive something very very similar with normal Pilots.

Either make the Rank 5 Skill unique to each Legendary Pilot OR let the Common Pilot have that Talent, however not be as strong. Say you heal 10k on kill with legendary Pilot. You only heal for example 3k with a common Pilot and 6k with a rare one.

Otherwise it just makes Legedary Pilot obsolete.
Say you have 4 fenrirs and only 2 Kates. But you do have a Pilots in the Shop with the exact same Rank 5 Skill as Kate. With them being SIGNIFCANTLY cheaper and easier to obtain then Kate herself, you can buy let's say 5-10 Common Pilots (which are supposed to be the weakest and cheapest Pilots) and you won't have a need for Kate anymore. Because some of the Common Pilots will have Rank 1-4 Skills not even Kate has.
Meaning Players will have no need for a legendary Pilot.

You didn't check out the common pilots,right? Those pilots I listed have unique rank 5 talents... and that's it, their rank 1 to 4 talents are completely locked,which means if you are for the rank 5 talent to use common pilot,in many cases, only the rank 5 talent is useful for your robot. So Legendary pilots will never be replaced
Legendary pilots are not able to obtained by playing the game either. If you calculate what you get with the free battlepass, you will find that free players can only get the second page of legendary pilots. To get the third page of legendary pilots means that you don't have enough tokens to exchange for robot parts or weapons.

@median bloom could we have the robots and weapons appear as a list in hangar like before? this list now is unending. Also could the leagues give some intel at the end of each season?

Yes but legendaries are legendary for a reason, they should be more powerful and have better skills than common pilots, otherwise it defeats their purpose.
Each one of them has their own personality per se, and their rank 5 skill is related to that personality. If common pilots have the same skill, which is always the most powerful one (rank 5) then the legendary pilots have absolutly no purpose because as misty said, you can just switch out the pilots until you get the skill combination you want.

You said that common pilots have some powerful talents than legendary pilots. Actually no, it is because there are too few legendary pilots to cover all talent trees.

#

Just imagine they add more and more legendary pilots, and there is always only one combination of regular pilots that can have those rank 5 talents, and you will understand what I mean.

wicked ocean
#

And that's fine

#

But them having the same t5 skill as a legendary isn't good

brisk pivot
#

Why are you so obsessed with preventing common pilots from obtaining rank 5 talents?myuri_meat Isn't this a good thing to avoid the emergence of p2w legendary pilot talents?

rancid ember
#

They are still common Pilots.
Not much of a Point when Common early Game Pilot can have the same Skill as a Endgame Legendary Pilot.

brisk pivot
#

I don't think Legendary Pilots are endgame pilot, they are just a more general purpose pilot.
