Holy shyte that's high! What's your opinion on the "Ability?" . Yeah, that thing can get up there pretty good. It's interesting to go kiting way the heck up there and check out the battlefield. Never really been able to do that before. If you plan it right, you can get the jump on another bot and wipe him out. However, and this is a big however, you really need eyes in the back of your head because you're making yourself a huge gas balloon sort of target. Those last 2 pics show pilot PVRV6T getting hammered on his way down. I had unloaded Tulu's on him while he was a little higher up and saved the Magnum until he was closer and then finished him off. Believe me, the shoe was on the other foot a couple of times. It's really bad if you've expended most of your ammo and have no way of fighting back or if there's a couple of reds playing anti-aircraft gun on your butt. Kiss your shiny new GL1D8R goodbye ! |

.
Tweak the bot ? I don't know for sure. His height is variable depending on how long you hold the button down. I just kept the pedal to the metal because it's sort of intoxicating to go flying way up there and play Stuka dive bomber. But depending on who's where on the battlefield, that can be a suicide run. I'm going to load a couple more of them into my hangar and play the hell out of them for the rest of the weekend and see if they'd be something worthy of investing your resources in.

The shape of this robot looks like golem and ability of this robot looks like jump.

Great post. How would you tweak it? I wouldn't tweak it, I'd just scrap the ability idea altogether. The reason jump works is because you go up quickly and you go down quickly. With this, you levitate up very slowly, hang there for a second, and then drop slowly. It provides little advantage for making you a literal sitting duck. If I had to work with the idea rather than throwing it in the trash, I'd make it so that the robot can fly forward or side to side quickly. And also make it drop much quicker than it does - kind of closer to a flappy bird type mechanic. Anything that brings you above any possible cover and moves that slowly is more of a detriment than an ability. |

I didn't get to play it much because of the buggered test server, but I did return some feedback to PIX along those lines. They'll have to make changes to it because as it sits now it is nothing more than a novelty. The hang time for it insures a single flight deal. |
