so its basically BA just with exclusive earth map

No, its tdm with actual combat in it. Being BA-related would imply it uses overclocking.

2-3 of your teammates disconnecting in the match and spawncamping reminds me a lot about BA though.

so, after i left when plasma was put into game i recently gave it another try.

tho matchmaker is as bad as it was and arguably worse now with huge platoons, i got to say i like the game so much more now

arena mode is just awsome fun, and i like how i now can use multiple weapons on one bot.

comunity is as bad as it was tho and seems to consist mostly of narcistic adolescents that rage about everything they disagree with. well, the curse of all f2p games i guess.

anyway, great game, great depth. if it was not for the netcode and the matchmaker, this game was the best thing ever.

in case anyone here is still interested in this game, rc just recieved a major update.
larger bots now get less weapon energy, and all players get the same maxiumum bot size.
so, way more builds are now viable in game. where before one had to reach maximum lvl and pretty much always wanted to spend as much cpu as possible, its much better to build smart now.
as a side effect, this shows without any doubt that the majority of rcs community is brain damage grade retarded.
at least half the bots in game right now are tiny thingies with maximum weapon energy but without weapons to use the energy.
so get your rails out and two shot the fuckers. seriously. its like full on carnage snuff porn.

oh, and there is also life time premium now for ~45 bucks. imo a steal, and kind of mandatory because no premium, no black bots.

premium time also got buffed a lot. while having premium one gets much more green powder from recycling (300%) - so spending a buck a month for premium and then recycle all the crap gets huge benefit for very little costs. pretty dang for the poors and these that can live without black bots.

anyway, tl,dr is something like: dont get fooled by the rage kids writing bad reviews on steam because they want more free stuffs. game is very much alive and kicking, and tons of fun at that.

Honestly I am more annoyed at builds that use hardly any parts then the ones that are just TOOO big

server sided balance changes, found here :
http://robocraftgame.com/forums/topic/balance-changes-0-13-1880/#post-2010966

mostly affects the battle arena mode and energy gained by unspend cpu.
tldr is: small bots get slightly less cpu
base rushing made much more difficult.

after 3 rounds with the update i say these changes are realy nice and make ba much more entertaining. meta will change yet again, as tiny bots designed to farm towers and base rush are even more useless then before.

so robocraft leaves alpha with todays update.
the update brings major changes to all maps, shrinking the team size from 8 to 5, completely changed capture mecanics and balance changes.


large patch, i think its a mixed bag. on the one hand the tower shooting was a unique way to do the capping, and i kinda liked 8 player team sizes. but, apparently that elo mumbojumbo gets also expoetentially more complicated with larger teams.the new mode sounds realy interesting and with new maps and all, smaller team sizes could be fine.
   
the balance changes are great, and contain a removal of heal beam auto aim. the days of cheesy circle jerking are over. praise the miners.
overclocking gets kill, so gets spawn time escalation. this is also a realy good change, it means its now just as valuable if i kill someone in the early game as in the late game. it also is a hidden nerf to high speed builds, and sprinters with hover support. sprinter get another hit by reducing their health, weight (based on health) and carry weight.

over all, with these changes robocraft will be a very different and much better game.

I hope so I loved how it was at the beginning (say. pre plasma, pre gunbrella fix bullshit and all that) - are the weapon still bullshit or did they fix the rail having the shortest range of them all, smg shooting meters apart and all that crap?

Same here, tho i liked plasma (good for flying things when they need to deal some good damage), but the game has become P2P (Pay 2 Play) with stuff like new, overpriced weapons, scrapping of gamemodes that we all loved, and breaking people's accounts (mine was corrupted)

[Aklyon]

It doesn't matter what the new mode is if they haven't added basic shit like reconnecting to your goddamn match.

[MoonyTheHuman]

Agreed. Its annoying to accidentally disconnect and be stuck with the timer because you cant reconnect

[motorbitch]

meh. its true that rc servers are a it touchy if it comes to packet loss, but users without any packet loss or driver issues hardly ever disconnect.
the game also never crashed for me.
anyhow, reconnect should be in game very soon.

Does the game still have the horrible P2W mechanics that basically killed the old diehard community?

They did add a way to get robits directly, but in the tradition of robocraft fixes, it is only technically useful, because not only do you need to be in a clan, you need to be in a big clan with active people and play at least one match per season to get any reasonable robits out of it, and the robits don't arrive until the season ends.

[MrRoboto75]

Eh? as a solo player last season I could have gotten over 200,000 robits if I bothered to make a solo clan.  That's enough to get two modules, two legendary weapons, or a set of mega movement parts.
