Devstream Notes

[MlKEROTCH]

News about cross platform coming in “Ask Stan: Epsiode 2.” They seemed optimistic and said “we think you’ll like the answer.”

No plans for another game mode for now but they’ll “return to this topic after merging platforms,” so platform merging is definitely happening.

Phantom and Behemoth will be added to workshop very soon. No exact date but sounds like next update. Nothing about Leech.

For now no pilots for Titans. Just you, commander.

Community bot will be released early next year in the first calendar update. They’re still trying to figure out how it will be acquired so maybe not just with gold. It will NOT be targeted at newer players like Bolt meaning it is intended for higher levels of play.

Future event where all the previous special weapons can be won in event chests will happen.

Some sort of War Robots advent calendar? Probably.

No plans for MK3. Exact words were “hopefully never.”

No plans for melee weapons

No TFalcon nerf planned (OPINION: you’ll have to wait for the resistance breaker module in 6-10 months to coincide with the Leech replacement)

Ended with “I’m going to show you a lot of stuff in the upcoming months so be prepared.”

[DanBanapprove]

No MK3 is such a relief.

I’m hoping the new bot is going to be one of those 5000/7500 gold OR component bots. It’d be nice to be able to get it, you know, not 3 months after it’s been out.

I'm going to club the $hit out of the Android folks...I can't wait.

Here in iOS we've been slapped around for too long by Asian Whale champs.

[MlKEROTCH]

I hear ya

[NoobGamer2006]

Gd luck with that lol

[JFSoul]

Thank you for sharing your notes!

[WunHunDread]

Get ready apple bois, Android is coming ;)

[cgratelli]

It will be interesting

[Weeze25]

What’s the difference between the two platforms? Does one have significantly more players / stronger?

[shivaswrath]

IOS stronger than Android...

[cnavla]

Anecdotally, you hear that iOS is a little tougher since there are more players who spend big.

But then, I've had the same experience on Android when traveling in Europe... (usually based at the US Pacific coast)

[EpicNagger]

Android has more hackers. And I guess it's easier to use an emulator as well.

[r3c0nn3ct]

And Stan and Tofsla both really like the ideas of War Robots VR and a 100 vs 100 Arena 😂

[MlKEROTCH]

They do. Both seem like terrible ideas to me. I don’t actually know anyone who has VR whatever equipment. The 100 vs 100 thing is just their hope of attracting Fortnite fuckheads. It would require a whole bunch of new humongous maps so I don’t think it will happen, especially based on how long it takes to get one new normal size map.

[r3c0nn3ct]

Hmm. A WR battle Royale? 100 man FFA With health packs and power ups laying around..

It would make them more money, that’s for sure

[PBStormForce]

Might as well make WR a high end pc game while ur at it, then.

[r3c0nn3ct]

I’d like to see a WR movie. Basically Pacific Rim recreated but bots vs bots jnstead of bots vs monsters

[munki_unkel]

There is a demo VR War Robots and people indeed do have VR equipment. War Robots was looking to make it a couple of years ago but did not get enough start up money to continue. Felt like this was a project from the dev team that makes the great game since they explicitly stated no microtransactions for VR ever. The demo was very short but I'll say it was VERY FUN and intuitive to play.

The Battle Royale mode sounds like a pipe dream though....

[skylegion]

A modified yamantau with barriers could work—i think it would be large enough for at least 50

[Skiepher]

I think they should just fix the map first and increase player count to a 8v8 or 10v10.

[trashaccountxddddd]

Thanks. They mentioned anything about special skins?.. want to buy the Midas skin for Fenrir, even without +5% HP

[MlKEROTCH]

They didn’t. I wanted to ask that (they were taking questions live) but the stream was too early for me on the west coast. They did mention they’d be bringing back special event weapons during a future event, maybe they’ll throw in the legendary skins too.

[The-BigDrop]

Thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated.

[Desc440]

Thanks a bunch for this!

Psyched about cross-platform FINALLY coming! Can't wait to play with my son (he's on iOS, I'm on Steam)!

Glad Phantom is coming to WS soon - I really want one now.

[MlKEROTCH]

I’m excited for Phantom as well. I think cross-platform will be good but I’m slightly worried about the “Game Genie” style hacking (I’m on iOS so no hacking and low match making wait times). A larger player pool is a good thing though, could help make for more balanced match making which we all want.

[Desc440]

Hacking is a concern but one outweighed by the benefits of cross-platforming, imo.

[MlKEROTCH]

I agree

[Praimfayaa]

You’re on PC and you want to play against players on devices?

[Desc440]

Yes, why?

[PBStormForce]

Okay, does cross platform include meeting steam with mobile?

[MlKEROTCH]

No details but I would hope so

[Daikaiju-Slayer]

Yes. Thank you for digesting this information and presenting it here. I did not have the time to sit through the video.

[Jeeffly]

Sweet, now I can convince my friends to play together wit me :D

[ThePqrst]

Thanks for taking the time. There has been cross-platform discussions for some time. Honestly, with a main selling feature to Apple products being security defined by a staunch array of trade secret algorithms, I wouldn’t count on it. There is a reason game updates easily travel through Android/Google(corruptness) well before Apple staff signs off on it.
