The latest patch has fixed a lot of balance issues and I want to start by thanking the devs.

The problem with the current balance is the community abusing long range weapons.
This has always been a problem, and the problem is going to grow even worse now that prize fighter, flamer/incinerator have taken a big hit.
There is wide array of powerful long-range weapons

  • shocktrains
  • railguns/Zeus/trebuchet
  • trident/Dragoon
  • noricum
  • vortex

This is leading to an entire community of long range players that sit back disengaged from all opponents, creating long, drawn out matches that are more about patience than player skill.

Another problem I would mention is that the speed of combat is very slow. Default gas regeneration is too slow to keep pace with weapon reload times, and the game is not very fast paced.

I think the slower pace is intentional, these are more grounded mechs than the ones we see in anime. This said Aggressive builds are very strong, and a large portion of the top players prefer them, the issue is more so they take more skill to play so most default to the longer range due to that, or prefered play pattern

Iv played titanfall 2 and understand that not every game is ment to be fast paced. But, this game feels like its in Slow motion.

its gameplay is derived from a relatively successful phone game soo

#

they def need to polish stuff... It not registering you holding forward when you spawn, tiny rocks that completely halt boost... IF they can remove wave dashing id love to see basic jumping not take fuel... when players all start having legs 13 itll help too, and itll prolly have power creep that speeds up pace

Do you play any other robots games? I'd love to play you 1v1 on armored core 6, or titan fall 2?

The main issue with campers or long range wearpons is they dont have any reaso to leave spawn

#

if Team Deathmatch had a point in the center to capture as alternate win condition you would not need to push into the enemy spawn and get recked by eighter long range snipers or a melee with spawn protection

"Dragoons" and "powerful" in the same sentence?! That's a good one.

Lighters are just as strong as they have always been, the AoE nerf was essentially cosmetic, they have the exact same TTK if you are focusing a part, as you should be.
As such, diving is still just as strong, and with Siren being (a bit over) nerfed, it's one less tool for teams to stop dives.

Noricums in my experience are the only long range issue, as they are the hardest to deal with, as they have the safest playstyle.
All other long range (including Vortex now, finally) aren't very hard to evade if you know what you're doing. Just keep moving and throw off their aim.

Also, this is a Mech game, so slower more tactical gameplay is what it's all about. That being said, this is for sure the fastest paced mech game I've played.

I'd say both titanfall 2 and armored core are much faster paced, and simply better games.

It's expected I mean, they are both full price triple A titles.

But there's just something about war robots I really like. I'd love to see it surpass these triple A titles and be a well balanced game that's open to everybody, on any console -

Unfortunately the game just isn't there - yet. But maybe with thorough feedback from the community, it could be.

yeah if you fully commit to 3x incin you should do 15k tick damage not just 9k

or better 9k but for longer
