But Mk5 parts are for roughly level 30ish, while the mk8 ones are lv 60ish!

[Rose]

You must have had like one mk8 part or something.

[Aklyon]

Player level just jumps up whenever they change things, really. In the update previous to this I got upgraded 22 levels at once, to 60-something.

[Rose]

I had the same thing happen to me, only I went from level 76 to 99.

[Sergius]

Yikes I jumped from... I don't remember... level 50? I'm now 100.

So this is how a good game dies.

Personally I think Robocraft is what happens to a game that holds onto its Beta gameplay... no matter what instead of just ripping it apart and creating the rest from scratch.

A lot of the issues with the game can be summed up as "People like the alpha so they made the gameplay conform to the alpha" and now they can't fix it because it requires too many changes all at once.

So they are tweeking something that is already broken.

I haven't played in a very long while, before they made Robocraft as a sort of MOBA? or whatever they advertized. I think the biggest thing when I played was facing 2 very high ranking robots as a boss battle or some such. Could someone give me a recap in how these ranking and levels work?

The answer to this generally seems to be "not really, because we don't have a clue".

Levels used to set an arbitrary cap on the maximum 'value' of stuff you could have. Now they also unlock parts and apparently are factored into matchmaking, albeit badly?

For the last couple games I keep dc'ing from matches. I fly around, nobody sees me, I do no damage... strangely, I do see people move and die. Some people even nick me for a little damage.

[Rose]

I have the opposite problem. Everybody is frozen in time, but I can move around, and they still see me until I die. But I don't see me die.

I just had a friend on skype tell me where the enemies are and I shot in their general direction.

Theres basically no dota involved at all. You have Practice, respawn battle mode, and deathmatch mode. Challenge/boss battle are just there to get people stuck in queues for ages.

Are they killing Robocraft slowly again?

Last time I played I got to tier 8. After tier 6 it felt so great and satisfying using multiple snipers and instakilling 1-4 fliers. Sniper Spiders FTW. Plus, my front sign read the bot's name, "Lelouch's Revenge"...aw yeah.

I even got 3 friends to play with me. So it was good times. Especially when we became assholes and everyone flew Darts on tier 1/2. Because sometimes you have to be the bad guy.

Having no tiers could work, but I bet they changed between systems in the worst possible way. I wanted Robocraft to succeed, but as Neonivek said above, it always feels like an Alpha/Beta going through a prototyping phase. Every time I go back to play a match, it feels like a new test iteration of the product, instead of feeling like the team actually made progress. It is incredibly weird.

[Rose]

What are you guys all driving now?

I'm going around in a huge 5-rotor monstrosity.

It gets chewed apart really fast by SMGs though so I haven't played Robocraft for the past few days.
