SUPER NERF! They STILL have balance issues that should have been taken care ofin alpha, beta, and were not. These are not devs, they're thieves.
All Ranks reset due to cheaters. 1st day I see invicible mechs. 0 deaths per match wins. Nothing is being done to moderate it... again. So why take away our medals?

New bugs 3/8/18: Fell through world warping. Freezing now & never did before. Having the editor disagree with itself and it won't place blocks... that is particularly annoying.

STILL getting kicked from their terrible servers being told it's my fault on 10mb in Denver. All this time and they still have lag spikes that throw honest players out of battle and penalize them. No wonder the achievments are sooo difficult; the game is kicking people before they get prizes and rank up! Paid accounts are getting ripped off.

New update screwed it up AGAIN. Freejam cannot be trusted with player money. They still act like Early Access nerfing physics 40%+!!! FFS! 500+ hours on making planes: wasted. Jerks!
Note: at least it's improved now. Remakes do fly better.
We all knew the flying felt wrong. But why wait until NOW?? Seriously, your company is so inconsiderate it's amazing. I love / hate Freejam more than any company due to their bipolar business practices.

I was very close to buying the game at full price. But why buy a product that will inevitably change? This should not have come out of early access yet. Thanks jerks. Thanks for ruining what you do well over and over and over again. Someone with too much power needs to be fired. They don't understand games and their greed for money will ultimately destroy this game. I still miss my old models redered useless by NERFS. :yasd: This is illegal.

This is the 2nd time I've changed from positive to negative.

================================================================

The new update has fixed energy by reducing weapon / ability power the more mass or shields one has. This is GENIUS. More robots work now than ever. It's a Robotaissance. Art mechs and weaponmongers can finally fight together in peace. Har har har!

All the voting has finally resulted in a game I play daily.
It has taken more hours of my life than any other game save EverQuest and Final Fantasy XI.
It Legos you run at each other, destroy, rebuild, and level up through. It's genius.


The greatest robot game ever made on some of the weakest most unreliable servers I've yet to encounter. Somehow after a year things got worse with the "Freeze Fix." Alt-F4 will be your new best friend. SO tired of being penalized. Fixed!
But I keep going.

MULTICLASSING. Changed the game completely. Made it better.

This is the sort of frustration you will be helping them with.
It is completely worth it.
One day it will be truly stupendous.
Right now it still needs lots of help


Before:
Phenomenal. Hilarious. Brilliant physics paired with a tech tree that allows for imagination, innovation, chaos, insanity, poor decisions, strokes of luck, & so many situations that one cannot possibly be prepared for that "Robocraft" is revolutionary. The most fun I've had since TF2.

After:
Conformist LoL robots all fighting, bogged down by catering to the worst flaming kiddy audience imaginable: rich noobs. The developers have become greedy and stupid. Instead of implementing new mods, they are taking away the old bits we loved and replacing them with MOBA nonsense. Gone are the days of artistic innocence. They have been fouled by hideous grind trolls. By the way, all of the purchasable robots make no sense and will have to be rebuilt due to fundamental design flaws that any experienced player knows are terrible, i.e. guns that fire into eachother instead of at the target.

Pay To Win alert! You can spend hundreds of hours grinding or pay a premium for entry into TX. Even after BILLIONS of points spent, I still can't buy a TX that people won't make fun of. If you don't have the perfect robot they will all hate you, call you names, taunt you, etc.
This is the equivalent of getting to the end of a MMORPG and learning that ONLY 1 defensive job (Tank) can go end-game & you much pay real money to buy all your armor. Your TX will be crippled, unable to do anything but meat tank, with no variety of weaponry due to the extraneous cost of defensive cubes.

THIS IS NO LONGER THE SAME GAME.
...it changes a ton.

Lesson: once you have something right, don't remove it & replace it with garbage, catering to the lowest common denominator of rich noobs.
Hundreds of hours to get to 10+ TX-1 wasted.
I loved this game... Tragic loss. Shame on you Freejam.


It's a love hate relationship.
I've spent way more time building than fighting.
I wish someone would make a better version of this game.

Greed > gaming.
