The history of Robocraft , and it's demise.

[Roosterington]

This is a short history of Robocraft , from it's release on steam in 2014 to it's downfall since 2016 and getting even worse onwards.

2014: The game started getting popular on steam.There was only one gamemode in which you only had one life.The tech tree was well trimmed and the player was supposed to invest in what his vehicle wants to be , for example if you wanted a land vehicle you may invest your tech points in wheels or tracks (tracks are added in 2015) or if you would like to fly invest in wings or hoverboards.The armor system made it so that you need to place it strategically on which parts you think will recieve damage the most (like tanks in real life).Let's not forget about satelites allowing you to detect others on the map.The tier system could've been a little bit exploited but wasn't so too often.

2015: Not much changes overall: tank tracks where added , the healing gun was added (which was very usefull since you had only one life in the classic gamemode) , and some other miscs.

2016: This is where it starts going to♥♥♥♥♥♥Most importantly the tech tree was made into a spiral , armor was removed , you now have the ability to colour your machine...but oh wait!You only have 4 colours and need to buy the other ones!.Gamemodes such as deathmatch and boss battles where added (for those who don't know boss battles are when you have like 10 tier 4 vehicles against one tier 10 , pretty fun actually).Kind of op spider legs added allowing you to climb anywhere.

2017:This is when the♥♥♥♥♥♥gets real.Tier system is removed and instead uses cpu to detect your rank (which doesn't even work properly because of the playerbase).Lock on missiles are added (do i even need to explain why this is bad?).Helicopter propellers added rendering planes useless since they can hover anywhere , at any high.Tech tree removed completely from the game.Instead of getting credits at the end of a round you instead earn a "lootbox" containing some credits and a bunch of other♥♥♥♥♥♥like weapons and cosmetics etc...At this point the game is much worse than it was in 2015.
You know what they say , if it isn't broken don't fix! And in the case of Robocraft , if it is a little broken don't change the whole ♥♥♥♥ing thing and make it even more broken.

Note: This may get allot of disaproval since most people who will read this thread still enjoy Robocraft , if they wouldn't they wouldn't be looking at the threads.But what i'm really hoping for is for the developers to see this and think about how they ♥♥♥♥ed up and how deep is there hole , the playerbase is going down , not because the game is old but because the older it gets the worse it gets.

You forgot to mention that people kept (and still do) becoming increasingly less skilled in the most basic things, like staying behind cover and shooting at aerial targets, but otherwise it's pretty accurate.

I totally agree , btw this post got banned in the generals discussions , so now can only be acessed here.Apparently the devs don't like criticism.

btw you got the years mixed up. They added tank tracks and healers in 2014
