Early Access Review
I have 231 hours on this game. I played though patches, modifications, and updates. It used to be a fun game no matter how they nerfed my favorite weapon, or how they changed the map layout.
I think the largest failure for them was taking out mega bots. I realize not many users had them, but they were one of the most fun aspects of the game. They were an anchor for your entire team to gather around. They made play in top tiers more fun.
Then they introduced the crate system. Now you no longer upgrade, then buy your equipment, but istead leave it up to random chance. I was open to this system at first, but as i played it, I realized that I couldnt build the bots I wanted. It was alllso very poorly designed, as after you finish a match, the winning team's pest player would get the best crates. This means if you were just starting out in the game, you would have no chance at getting good loot, as the better robots would get it instead of you.
Oh yea, another thing. THEY BALANCED EACH WEAPON WITH EVERY OTHER ONE. I don't know how to describe my fustration that all my hours put into the game desiging and buildubg succesful robots was put at the same level as someone starting out this game. They made each tier of weapon viable against all the other tiers. That means my (very expensive) tier 7 lasers could be countered by a spam of tier one lasers.
All of these things combined have made me quit tthe game. Any one wouldnt have done it (except for maybe the crate system). If they revert these changes, I'd be more than happy to join back into the game.
P.S. I might play for the free giveaways once in a while just in case they do revert it.
