I did play this game for a time. I Liked it sort of and i wanted to get back in but that was right when the new update happened and this is so bad of a fuck up it makes war thunder going from 15 to 5 tiers of planes a smart idea.

Argh *rage*

So, finally about to win a tier 3 battle, my car has flipped upside down and I'm cheering on my team, there's one bar left to conquer and only one enemy alive, then:

"You have been disconnected due to lack of activity."

Yeah, you get disconnected if you're upside down for too long and not spamming movement keystrokes, or something.

[TolyK]

Just add a tier one flipper, and voila! Something to do!

I'd really like it if they just let me play fliers again at T1/ T2 instead of deciding that 'no, it's too hard' for me. I guess I'll make another SMG brick because I haven't made 5 of those yet right?

I don't think those exist anymore  .

I think they do, unless they changed what tier they are.

This game always feels slightly frustrating to me.
There's always *just* enough bad design decisions to not be ignorable.

[TolyK]

Flippers are tier 1, 5, 9(?), definitely 1s exist.

Woooo spotting patch went live yesterday. Not sure if I'm missing the point of spotting though, because I felt that it's just the equivalent of pinging the map in dota.

Or is that the point?

That's basically the reason for spotting, yes.

[crazysheep]

Oh ok then.

Now we wait for them to improve the system to tell us what bot is flying towards us..

Plasma arcs and gets more damage by the distance.

If you have a gunbed and spot an enemy, my plasma hover can reliably hit it out of vision range and soften it up for you

[crazysheep]

Although I think the current spotting mechanics needs a bit more work. If it's meant to act as a "pinging" function, I think there shouldn't be a cooldown on when you can use it, but just mute all "enemy spotted" pings for the duration when an enemy is spotted.

Ok, I have to share this.

It is an experiment in unusual design, and for a wacky design it is actually scary effective. At least at T4.

I present, the Sky Castle

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's quite durable, with the outer walls and towers acting as effective buffers against attack. The central core is of sturdier stuff, and can take a good bit of punishment before going down. The guns on top are all decent, T4 or T5, and are very good at killing. I've actually matched my highest kill count with this thing! (6, if you're wondering). It does have a bad habit of flipping over if it takes too much damage, but it's pretty effective even then.

It's expensive, though. 8 Tier 3 hoverblades, 4 around the center and 4 inside each outer tower, and two T4 blades on the center fortress as well. Thing takes 1039 flops, despite only being Tier 4. All those blocks add up.

I'm honestly shocked this worked so well. I figured I was just being silly.

[crazysheep]

Is that meant to hover or fly? :3

Also, is anyone here using the handle "dmalski" over on the official robocraft forums? I'm pretty sure those "menaces with spikes of obsidian" references were too familiar..
