Furyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371236626119268480noreply@blogger.comBlogger4125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22635968.post-50449802435412393612017-10-02T14:28:00.001+02:002017-10-02T14:31:06.628+02:00My thoughts on the recent - en vogue - dash bot shamingYeah yeah yeah... we've heard it all... the dash bots are OP, NERF!!!, screw Pixonic...yada yada yada...<br />
<br />
First of all, yes, I do have dash-bots, 3 of them. 1 Bulgasari and 2 Haechi's. And yes, I put some money into the game to get them through the black market. Not too much really. I was extremly lucky to get them.<br />
<br />
I believe it needs to be differed between the bots and their abilities and the way they are made available to the players.<br />
<br />
Are the bots overpowered? Yes, slightly. After I got the first dash-bot, I loaded it with 3 Orkans (best setup in my opinion) and maxed them out instantly. As all youtubers were not tired to mentioned to "hold on to your silver and gold" until the new bots come out... they kept saying the same thing even before the quick draw bots came out...and guess what, they were made available with f**king influence points - yet another currency. Alright, back on topic... the first week I used it, my average damage increased to 750'000. After that, 2 things happened:<br />
<br />
First, players adapted and secondly, players became more aware of the dash-bots being around. Now, what has this done to the current game meta? Players adapted/countered the upcoming dash-bots...with.... drum rollll... yes, with more Ancilots and more plasma. So the appearance of the dash-bots has actually caused an increase of the very bots they were supposed to counter. And that brings us to the 2nd issue, the way how Pixonic made those bots available. In their defence, they very well knew that many players had safed gold and silver for a long time since the wild bunch bots didn't turn out desireable to the majority of players. In my opinion, it would have been much fairer to make them available for gold currency (even with prices of 5000, 6000 and 7000 gold). Alternativly they could have made them available through the black market, but not allow the purchase of keys. This way, everybody would have the same chance to get the korean bots. Now - as long as the dash-bots are overpowered as they are - they will sort of dominate the battle field - hand in hand with Ancilots.<br />
<br />
I believe at this point the latest, Pixonic realized that there is a shit load of money to be made by introducing overpowered, desirable new bots to the players who would crave to have the latest stuff. They have gone the same route with the new inquisitor bot - overpowered, too and with a price tag of $300 indeed more then questionable.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, the other team jumps on you with 2 or 3 bots at the same time, slaughering the dash-bots as fast as possible since they obviously propose a great threat. Do you remember, the same thing happened after the Ancilots came in masses? RDBs and mid-range was used to shoot down their shields and everybody tried their best to kill that Lancelot. And today, Ancilots are no real danger unless you are in a plasma griffin without cover nearby.<br />
<br />
So YES, I will keep running the shit out of my dash-bots because we all know Pixonic will nerf them after all the whining and crying of people who were not lucky on the black market. After they are done nerfing them - and as usual, they will go the extrem opposite way and nerf them too much - they won't be significant anymore.<br />
<br />
A general note on the black market: I believe it is a good idea to have the black market around. Basically you are getting free stuff while playing - what you would do anyway. Now you even get extra stuff. Therefore I don't agree with peoples bitching about it and complain to Pixonic "Give me my dashbot!!". <br />
<br />
I personally won't spend any more money - except the 10 bucks premium membership to get additional keys. I may never get the Inquisitor, but that is absolutely okay.<br />

While there were not so many guys showing off their game play and making tutorials when I started to play this game, there many many more until this day. While you would think "Well, what's the difference, they just show the same game in more or less similar videos", I beg to differ. I will show you a variety of channels where each of them has found their individual niche and appeals to a different kind of audience. So here is my list of Youtube channels I visit regularly - in no particular order.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk_jiByxmYqfZ11tYl0OCOw" target="_blank">Adrian Chong</a><br />
Adrians Channel is what I would call the beginner channel. If you are new to War Robots or looking for tutorials on how to play a certain bot, what weapon to choose, Adrian's got you covered. He offers a large amount of (live) commentary as well as live streams. Adrian makes sure to explain even basics like what weapon can penetrate what kind of shield continously.<br />
Adrians favorite phrases: "What is this guy in?"<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbVMczJaRWJhBUexvtS0i5g" target="_blank">Stew Pendous</a><br />
In my opinion by far the most entertaining channel with live commentary. His videos are hilarious, informative and interesting to watch for both, noobs and pros. Stew accepts subscriber requests on what setups to play - although he has quite the backlog - your voice will be heard eventually. Movie references, the evolution of war robots including funny voices, Stew got it all. Most recent funny killing scene on valley map involved a "<a href="https://youtu.be/1BCqhfz-D3A?t=6m31s" target="_blank">mountain lion</a>"<br />
Stews favorite phrases: "Got wrecked", "Stuff like that", "Whats up peeps".<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyurvU663btggOncTu8815w" target="_blank">Blitheran</a><br />
Many who are familiar with War Robots will know about Blitheran. He is one of the most skilled players out there who set numerous damage records includng the latest 2.1 Million damage that has yet to be matched. Blitheran usually posts high league game play with occasional live/post commentary.<br />
Blith's trademark: Girly laugh upon a new damage record, the mandatory Blith joke<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7FKcc1QYd5MoKkBBe-ZWGA" target="_blank">Chainfire</a><br />
While chainfire used to post videos with tactical advise and tutorials, he steered his channel in another direction - also due to personal reasons and lack of time. Nowadays, he has 2 live streams each week, one being the Chill-Squad, which is extremly entertaining and funny to watch. He will squad up with clanmates and friend and take on the red team. The second kind of live stream is PYOB Monday. Viewers can suggest certain bot setups and Chainfire will run them - no matter how weird or awkward.<br />
Chain's favorite phrases: "That's what she said", "giggity giggity"<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Manni4life/" target="_blank">Manni-Gaming</a><br />
While Manni has just recently joined the War Robots Youtube family, he is putting out funny, informative and quality content - with commentary. While Manni is playing War Robots on the Facebook Game room account, recently he is making efforts to advance with his Android account, too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy-BUW5HVarLW6YaZm0pViA" target="_blank">Phoenix</a><br />
He has the most subscribers of all the youtubers in this list. While he is basically showing high level clan game play, he also put out a few tutorials and suggestions on how to improve the game, especially the allways annoying matchmaking and league system.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWG2V9ETPB7VXoQjRNM1yww/featured" target="_blank">Predator</a><br />
Predator is a clan mate of Adrian in clan VOX. I enjoy watching his videos since I like his kind of game style, well calculated, anticipating the opponents moves and very deadly.. He has a few videos with commentary but most of his content is high level game play.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOd-gIW50xgBQOGZBs1RPQ" target="_blank">Droopy</a><br />
Droopy Sack is a funny, genuine and entertaining guy providing tutorials and game play videos while also sharing alot of his private live with the community. He came up with the #WRtakeover challenge where he got his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-4jbUuRuGo" target="_blank">wife to play</a> a game with his hangar and it turned out absolutely hilarious!! Stew Pendous picked up this idea and had his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaxYDFF6aNQ" target="_blank">wife narrate one of his recordings</a> - absolutely funny!<br />
Signature features: Likes to wear hats, calls Molot's "mullets" LOL<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmI1Z_P3ErI56sVQlPuDE9g" target="_blank">Twinky</a><br />
Twinky has surrounded herself with a bunch of girl who enjoy playing War Robots and called themselves the Ladies Squad. Those lady's can pack some serious punch and most of them are playing in champions league and are high ranked clan memebers. Twinkys videos are very entertaining and the ladies do not mind some serious swearing and cursing :-)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfixbXOm8k-0Q5SnHyZAw3Q" target="_blank">Foggy</a><br />
His channel basically features live commentary game play with occasional test server videos and updates.<br />
Foggys favorite phrases: "Outstanding!" "Inflict damage", "Let's pound a few things", "alrighty...there is a takedown"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://theveryunofficialwarrobotspodcast.podbean.com/" target="_blank">WAR ROBOTS Podcast</a><br />
This is fairly unknown but that does not mean it is not worth checking out. I consider this weekly show to be very informative and interesting. Dr. Evil, Mr. Higgles and Droopy have discussions related to war robots and even feature guests like the mighty Blitheran. Go check it out, you will not regret it.<br />
<br />
And if all of the above is not enough for you hardcore war robots addicts, here are some more upcoming and interesting channels to check out:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ANNAVILLESTUDENTS" target="_blank">Bag of Soup</a> - I call it the family channel, since his kids occasionally join him for his gameplay videos, especially on the test server.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZxRqDz2YPWe2VlhdvEpfvA" target="_blank">Lee the Fighter</a><br />

Reason being, I just lost interest in the topics I posted about in the past. Therefore I deleted all previous posts and decided to start from scratch. New layout, new topics, new everything.<br />
<br />
What you will be sing most on here in the future are posts about my favorite addicting mobile game, called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixonic.wwr&hl=en" target="_blank">War Robots (Android)</a> which I have been playing for about a year now. This game is made by a company called <a href="https://www.google.ch/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjL-tbJtbjWAhUlLZoKHTXQCaMQFggtMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpixonic.com%2Fen%2Fgames%2Fwar-robots&usg=AFQjCNGqG3UN9uhDI_Wm9GtoVvRnMe-5RQ" target="_blank">Pixonic</a>.<br />

<br />
In the future I might even be looking into recording videos of game play or brief tutorials, depending on time and opportunity of course.<br />
<br />
