We have seen a lot of really overpowered and stupid things in the game over the years. I remember the Spectre reign where people had full hangars of them. Or the Hawk suddenly removing Fenrirs and Falcons from the Battlefield. But I don't think we ever got something that would completely counter literally ANYTHING the game had prior to it's release. The Reaper is an entirely new level of Broken. WIth all it's stats taken into account. Simply game-breaking in every regard. And the same seems to happen with the Rook Titan, too, which may also be the only Titan not affected by Reaper that much.
Reaper doesn’t have a drawback. Literally killing everything that you have at 1100m range. Damage must be nerfed by 90% if they wanna keep all its other features. It’s insane! Or reduce its range to 200m, making it a brawling choice similar to sonic weapons.
@@fluxhydraWhy would they make a sniper weapon 200 meters. The only thing they should do is nerf damage and make it unable to bypass resistence. Gauss should counter resistence and reaper should counter reflector and forcefield. Honestly i dont like the weapon being able to counter defense which shouldnt be bypassed but yeah... Devs are insane
@@bobuxsniffer6956 Not necessarily soon. Reaper likely hasn’t accrued the minimum/target revenue, as you see few people with it. Let’s see how long it will take for the weps to become commonplace within the meta, and soon thereafter a nerf can be expected.

So basically the reaper is a counter to literally every kind of defense system which have introduced over the years in war robots. The only thing that cant be one clipped are titans. Thats completely insane. My bots cant even handle prismas rn and they introduce this op weapon 🤣
The reapers ability to ignore basically every form of protection excluding shields is insane and when paired with crisis, nothing can prevent themselves from getting hurt (how often do we see physical shields besides angler nowadays). Crazy
Good, I'm tired of all you cowards playing a WAR ROBOT game and hiding behind cover and wearing 10 shields. I thank the Robot Gods for the Reaper, now you sissies can't hide and have to fight like a man.
The Reaper's defense breach needs to be removed and change it like getting increased damage when protected with reflector or forcefield rather than ignoring most defenses in the game What do you guys think?
Don't worry.. just like every new stuff after they have made enough money it's time to Nerf it and move to the next big stuff.. this too will get nerfed in a few months
@@A-beverage-of-sortsGood idea on paper , but bad in practice. Reflector shields reflect back 50-70% of damage received, so a damage buff in place for defense mitigation will result in you killing yourself faster.

@john-paullewis2386 I miss the old days... back when orkan+specter and raven/Griffin with taran and magnums were meta. Now the game is becoming more and more painful to play
I realized what you said in this video and quitted the game about 7 months ago... I had a newly maxed Fenrir with maxed pilot, drone, etc.. , and all of a sudden a Mars turret (alone) only the Turret was able to destroy my Fenrir without the Mars taking any damage, and the turret shots were going through the wall I was standing behind because of a (bug), 2 minutes later, same happened to my Khepri, and that was it for me... Never coming back, just watching your videos cause it's fun! Cheers
@@icy6672 yeah this whole game is always pretty laggy in general and I'm playing on pc (android emulator), before remastered update i could play on my old tablet without any lag :(
War robots has become a pay to play game rather than a pay to win game. It ropes people in and then forces them to pay money, then once they burn out more people are roped in and are forced to pay more. It is a very common and horrible business strategy used by mobile game developers and I am very sorry to see War Robots go that way. Thank you for your amazing content Manni, I've been here since the beginning, and I love your videos. I want to say that your community will totally support you if you choose to retire from War Robots content, it has become a sad, sad game that only wants money. We love you Manni, keep up your good mood!
This is like the Shocktrain situation back then, it’s range was high considering the meta at the time. And the only thing balancing it out was physical, and stealth. It’s completely absurd how a weapon goes through the development process for months, and is given a broken ability to keep the meta shifting, and to keep people engaged not in the game, but in there shops and “events.” If you can even call them that anymore:/
this is very true, I have a baby account that first encountered a titan at level 15 and is fighting enemies who have mother ships and drones while it is level 24, these are things that a player at this stage in the game shouldn't even knows existed at all yet, pay to win also becomes worse when you are on PC because you cant watch adds for free rewards like IOS or ANDROID players do so even if you are fighting an account that is the same level as you they likely have better robots and better equipment just because they get to watch adds for free rewards, I feel this as well is intentional as most people who are able to play on PC will likely have more money because computers are more expensive than phones so they know we have more money we can give up. This practically makes F2P impossible as even if you loose a game you will still climb up the leagues and encounter stronger and stronger opponents. At least you get a decent amount of resources for the PVE game mode which is the only reason I'm able to maybe at some point afford titans.
Ophion on the test server gets an absorber every ten seconds it feels like. Absorber meta is coming back. It was perfectly balanced the first time it was tested, with no absorber on rising and falling, and they had to make it broken by adding the ability on rising and falling. It has been proven since the au jun that robots that can fly and keep their abilities on rising and falling are way too strong
I 100% agree with you. When I get crushed by a new robot or weapon, I have purchased tokens or silver to keep up. Avalanche is a perfect example!! With new pilot skills I spent about 5000 gold to have area damage through shields. Next update they nerf the damn thing. Yea me!!
Next ability. Phase attack. Robot can freely switch between phase shift and has the ability to hit enemy robot that are in the same phase. While phase shift is active, all weapons can freely pass through structures and physical shields.
To be honest, i prefered purple shields over 7 seconds of stealth given by the Beak drone. You cannot fight some robots if you dont bring Quantum Radar. Its so annoying to look at the enemies chewing up your hp while you are unable to do anything
Quantum Radar is useless, by the time you have cycled through the enemies in a crowd, its ran out. A waste of powercells, I would rather heal back the damage. Maybe an auto lock on to stealthed opponents or more time would be handy
Manni i know that the stealth meta is frustating but i think it's a little bit better than absorber meta. i think it's better because it triggers less times( or maybe i'm wrong) and you can hit enemies ( i mean you cannot target but you can hit enemies at least), not like absorber, that you are invincible the 50% of the time.
Yes, I also think its a bit better than the Absorber Meta. I agree. But why does it always have to go like 99% in one direction? Why not try to make a healthy balance in different metas.
Manni i love your rants they have become some of my favourite videos after the vortex, thermite videos. you are our voice !!! . finally war robots does have scientific revenue as me and my dad play war robots but as i spend a bit more money than him i get items normaly priced and then he will some times get deals with a few pounds taken off the price for no reason
I think the most balanced meta is when Ares, Ao Jun, Leech, Ravana are around. Skills are still required when facing the enemy, The Strider is a proof, if u play it well, nothing can catch up with it.
Did you see the claw jaw talon nerf? It is UNBELIEVABLE that war robots can have you buy a product and change it into a completely different product after you’ve bought it. I dont wanna quit wr, but at this rate I cant afford to keep up w/ the meta.
Yeah I noticed that. Though most of my upgraded weapons are from Decay, Hazard and Blight family so they’re not affected… for now. Kinda balanced imo devs haven’t touched them since release but I can totally predict that they might nerf these weapons to oblivion so people ditch them and go for the new OP choices. So right now I’m not upgrading those weapons until I see the future balance changes for them. Gotta be careful with my spending too 😮
18:56 I had the same foughts but as my friend had started playing WR completely F2P he gat the same offers as I did even though I've spend over 20€ in a year
I get how people would hate it, but I think its balanced because everybody spams bots with force fields and reflectors since we’re in that meta, but the reaper is the perfect counter. It balances things because there’s nothing more annoying then dealing with harpy’s, sirens, skyros, and seraphs
Manni i agree with you sooo much, i feel like the game is getting more and more unbearable to play and as a free2play player i am getting annoyed by this whole pay2win thing and i see some more problems at each update... The game is just getting destroyed at an accelerating rhythm and it almost break my heart to say it bc i love this game but it's too different from what i expect from it. Don't worry about the "bad" mood videos, sometimes they are necessary and i love how you explain and point out all the problems... i really wanted to thank you for what you do for us and this game and be aware that no matter what we will always be behind you, keep up the good work😁❤
I've been playing war robots since the beginning and quit after 2 years bcause of work. Then abt a yr ago, one of your video appeared in my yt and brings back all the memories that made me decided to return. I've been actively watching your videos and playing WR since, almost every time I opened youtube I watched your videos first and that's because how good and honest you are on reviewing. Sadly I've stopped playing WR since I watched your videos on how stupid and money-oriented updates that Pixonic did. But thanks to you now I can spend my money on other reasonable games. I really hope thay I can see you talking about one of the other games that I played someday and I hope that you can move on from WR as well. Best of luck to you bud, I'll still watch your videos tho. You know..cause it's you 👍👍
At one time it was a reward to fight against the stronger players. You won and won then took your loses. I liked it. Now with auto die, and helping it loses its good mood.
Manni, as always you're right. That's why I've stopped playing since last month. Five years ago I stopped six months. No fun no game But I still see your videos because of how you do, what you said and to be actualized. Be well my friend here in the game as in your personal life. See you in a match ( I don't know when). 👍👍
The thing with f2p is that less than 1% of the players cover 99% of the development cost. This means, as long as the whales, who spend 5 digit values on new stuff every month are happy then you are golden. I mean, just think of it: let's assume running the game costs them 1 million a month due to developer salary and an average whale spends 10k euros a month. Then that would mean, that out of the millions of players you just need to have ~100 whales to break even. So if 1% of those who regularly spend money on the game (so 1% of the 1% who pay) which is 1 in 10000 players are those that pay 10000€ a month, then with a million players you would still have the 100 whales you need. And war robots has not a million players, but many more. That's why from a business perspective, what they are doing is smart. All that counts are the whales, nothing else. It's hinestly sad how far the gaming industry has fallen.
I think a good weapon that isn't too overpowered but is still powerful enough is the decay/ unknown decay. It has perfect range for the firing style it has and good damage, overall pretty balanced.
Manni, I love how you describe this and you are so right. I have been telling everyone how match making puts you up against players with stronger content to push you to purchase more. Reaper is seriously broken, the new kestrel Drone is broken, the new stealth meta is broken. Just as you said, Pixonic goes way overboard with everything acting like they never get people to buy their new content. Maybe pixonic is tired of needing to update and introduce more stuff for this game so they may be trying to literally kill the game. Let's help them and all quit. I was a pretty serious buyer, ever-increasing Orochi and fafnir came out, I began to spend and quit spending once Imugi came out. I have spears, Anglers, Nethers, harpies, Sirens and everything else but I have 0 imugis, only have 1 heavy new laser weapons and one light, have a Lynx (From your giveaway) and one stake (Also from your giveaway) but unfortunately, don't have the Lynx pilot, don't have another stake, and am far away from the crisis and Reaper weapons and I honestly don't care anymore. Saving money by not playing WR anymore and enjoying it more than ever. I just watch your videos to support you cause you care about the WR Community but maybe you should quit as well. WR is only going to get more and more broken
Couldn't agree more. A weapon that bypasses every existing mechanism of defence in the game is just......well.....stupid. Add to that that they go hand in hand with Crisis which also gives extra damage ability AND shieldbreak ability all in one. Then you've got the pilot that gives even MORE damage along with various other extra damage pilot skills. It's just crazy. You basically can't leave cover unless you use phase shift or Anglers electric shift ability and now they're nerfing Angler AGAIN making it even slower, you won't be able to use that to counter Crisis either because it will be so damned slow!! Like you said though, it's all by design. Pixonic and their endless greed.
Pixonic came up with this Reaper that can bypass any type of defensive system in the excistence except the Phase Shift. I think y’all see where I’m going with this. Anti-Phase Shift in the future?
Manni, remember the 5 strong orken ancelots everywhere..... IM STILL FKN HERE BROTHER!!! Running with 5 strong menders and indra, gargantuar/pentaguel. Still all useless now, sold my 2 reapers.
Funny how pixonic said they weren't gonna add resistance adding or bypassing things many years ago and then they added that stuff later on when most people forgot about them saying that lol
That was such a great breakdown of the simple problems this game has. I appreciate you speaking about the issues in such a great and logical way. Great point about the reaper contradicting the description THEY GIVE of multiple defenses.
GREAT, my Guass build is now worthless because Pixonic wants to add a new weapon that is better in any way. It's almost like Orkans versus ultimate Orkan things. Why can't they at least make it so that the weapon only bypasses, forcefields, or reflectors, and not make anything prior obsolete Weapon rebalance (at the most!): Forcefields: It can penetrate 50% of it, but it still gives a chance to the weak robots that rely on it. Reflectors: ignore, but you still take damage Defense systems: (1. that's a Guass's thing) 2. penetrate 75% of it at the most Damage: 7k
Mani I been playing since the beginning walking war robots. Over the last year the game has killed its player base with the release nerf repeat bs. Now it’s just totally absurd. The amount of real money that needs to be spent is in the 1000s of dollars for this stuff. The ultimate weapons are ridiculously over powered aswel
the fact that these weapons ignore the theseus pilot has been bothering me for a while now. it clearly mentions that the pilot ignores any kind of defense mitigation, yet in practice its purpose is non existent. with the theseus pilot skyros would've turned out to be one of the very few niche counters to these weapons, but in reality it is nothing but a sitting duck, what an utter shame.
Manni, the best way to sell a product is as a solution to a serious problem. So they’re making stealth a serious problem for everyone and then later on, introduce a module/drone/something that can counter stealth. It’ll make hundreds of millions
I was being sniped from a Reaper Crisis while i was in my Luchador from 1000 meters away... Even if you have 2 maxed out repair amps you do not stand a chance... 1/3 of my HP went NOWHERE in an instant. That thing probably had nuclear amps fully loaded man, reflector is so useless too this feels so underwhelming...
19:31 PIXONIC DOES THAT 100%. I have 2 accounts and they're almost on par with each other. One is of course more dominant content wise but they're similar. The dominant one is the one that I had spent a lot of money on and the offers are okay-ish (I was mostly buying cheap offers) but the 2nd account HAS EVEN cheaper, hence even better offers and I made only 1 payment on the account. It even gave me free tokens (for ads) when there was the 7 day token event but my other account didn't get that deal because I simply spent more money on it.
At least with the absorber shields you could still attack them when you get up close, but now you can’t do that unless you have a good spot to shoot them (with still missing 65% of your shots) or it’s a bigger robot your shooting at with face hogging
The Only Way to Balance this weapon is changing from 6 shots per round to 1 shot and keep the damage of that 1 shot, Do Not multiply the damage of that One shot 6 times!! And did I mention that the range should have been 500ms or 600ms instead of 1100??
Agree with every word you said. This game getting more and more broken. All this time i spend my money to create strong robots but now all of them are garbage... all flying robots now are useless... So, what i got??? Lost money and time... I don't know, should I continue to play or let it all go to hell 🤔 At least thank you @ManniGaming to share it
@Manni_Gaming. cool Waiting to win ultimate reaper and ultimate crisis 😀😃🙂 It's really good that you doing this content. You also sad about prices for purchase. It's TRUE. Before I started to buy gold or silver, average price was around 12 - 18 euro. Now normally prices starting from 23 and more euro. So, once pixonic see that you making purchases, they increase the prices... It's been 2 weeks I stopped to buy resources. Angler got the baff, some weapons also... try to guess in which robot or weapon invest now 🤔
At this moment (June 2023) I had been playing the game for one month and started following Manni, Adrian and Predator. My spending into the game increased one month later. Around this time Pixo introduced the Rook. Manni and others criticized it heavily, too. By end of September Pixo announced the nerfing of the Reapers, AND a whole bunch of robots (Seraph, Angler, Mars, etc), which had been nerfed before, making them basically useless. My main hangar took the full hit. Reason for that? They introduced even more broken robots: Newton (Titan), which was basically killing with one hit all Titans (save the Rook) and the worst: Ochokochi. At some point I learned to kill the Crisis-Reaper (Loki and Lynx very effective). Predator gave us possibilities to kill the Rook (for example Sharanga, Sonic Weapons, three Cannibal reactors). But Ochokochi.. that new thing was killing Titans and everyone else. HP up to two million. I had no chance with my hangar. You need three team mates to bring down an Ocho, the problem was, people were having full hangars with M3 Ochos. By mid Sept Manni announced he would leave the game. Two weeks later he had to return. I uninstalled the game two days ago (Oct 4 2023) and hope to never come back. The initial fun I had was stripped away and as an adult, I would certainly not keep playing the game Pixonic wants. It's simply too much money (€1000+ only in July!) for just a GAME.
it's actually pretty sad that most of manni's recent videos are mostly criticism due to how broken the game is now, i completely understand why pixonic is just not going in the right path
I encountered this robot a dozen times on the battlefield. It’s all fun and funny when it’s your teammates using it on the enemy but when their using on you it’s not!! These weapons are capable of talking out my entire hanger even my 150 max titans with max modules gets destroyed in seconds.
yeah manny i agree with you that when in early days the matchmaking was so balanced everybody had a leo or griffin and almost same weapons but recently i logged into the game and played with my ares and a shell bot came and destroyed me then there was a fenrir which was not dying because of my old school weapons and this is because getting new robots and weapons is so difficult because it takes 3 days for some 180 components to be build and also they take around millions of silver which is so difficult to get by playing just 1-2 hours and gold is like impossible to get it takes month to have 10000 gold and there's a ultimate luck event where it takes about 10000 for a single spin and platinum i have never been able to have a 1000 to buy a robot
hey mani thanks but I'm not participating in the giveaway 😅 I've stopped playing the game because of unfair gameplay but I can't believe that when i used to try to participate I've never selected but now i am 🤣😅
Manni if you read this I’ve been subscribed for years and I learned much of war robots because of you but I don’t play it much because my account got deleted because they taught I was a hacker and I did spend 10 euro on the game with max meta weapons and robots please do seomthing about it bye😢
Lets be honest Manny, the only reason they continue to release broken bots and change the Meta is so that people drop insane amounts of money into the game to remain competitive.
I realize that pixonic is a company and its goal is to make money but it just seems like they love playing the short game and not the long game. If they continue to make these types of decisions, it will do nothing but erode their product to a point that no one will want it.
I just started playing WR last year December I'm level 23 I stopped playing team games because my device is bad things are expensive as hell and obtaining things example gold and platinum is hard I don't even haven the 5 slot in my hanger unlocked and hearing manni as often as I do makes me sad😢
I think the “Meta” isn’t the problem. This all started when they introduced modules that allowed every robot to have shield, jump, stealth and so on. All they need to do to return the games glory is take out all models and rebalance the drones so they don’t give these passive effects. Additional damage, speed, defense even jump for fun is fine but allow specific robots the abilities only they should have. Plus, as a rebalance for the drones, replace these OP abilities with things like a decrease in the reload time or a longer duration last stand. I mean come on it’s a games the options are limitless so for anyone wondering, manni included, they can fix the game. Maybe they need help or just someone new on the team but I see no reason for any of this nonsense. Like for manni to see please maybe he can offer these options to pixonic!!
War robots definitely has different prices for different people. Things on my main account are always 2x or 3x more expensive than the same things in my baby account. And my baby account gets lots more extremely good value deals and offers than my main account does too. It even gets more rewads ads every day. I've messaged pixonic about it but never got a response.
HEY MANNI! An update on my hanger, through the grinding of keys, I now have a razador mars, a sonic Skyros, and still the Skadi Fafnir, I have a talon Seraph, and now(I call it the nether that counters nethers) my newest and most powerful robot yet, the scald nether, the blastcharge goes through and even breaks the nether's forcefield so it becomes easy to kill them, I've been using it for a day and in that time j probably kill 30-58 nether's with ease. I hope you make a video on that, I also use dread scald since y'know I used the keys, and the ones I get from my boxes are special weapons, so I hope to see a video with 4x Dread/Augmented scald on a Nether

At least you get a decent amount of resources for the PVE game mode which is the only reason I'm able to maybe at some point afford titans.
Ophion on the test server gets an absorber every ten seconds it feels like. Absorber meta is coming back. It was perfectly balanced the first time it was tested, with no absorber on rising and falling, and they had to make it broken by adding the ability on rising and falling. It has been proven since the au jun that robots that can fly and keep their abilities on rising and falling are way too strong
I 100% agree with you. When I get crushed by a new robot or weapon, I have purchased tokens or silver to keep up.
Avalanche is a perfect example!!
With new pilot skills I spent about 5000 gold to have area damage through shields. Next update they nerf the damn thing. Yea me!!
Now imagine the ultimate Reaper.
Dont think we'll see ultimate versions of weapons that are new. I hope so anyways.
We will not imagine that.
Just delete the game
Pixonic -ahaa nice idea u are hired
Every next shot does 50% more damage
Next ability. Phase attack. Robot can freely switch between phase shift and has the ability to hit enemy robot that are in the same phase. While phase shift is active, all weapons can freely pass through structures and physical shields.
To be honest, i prefered purple shields over 7 seconds of stealth given by the Beak drone. You cannot fight some robots if you dont bring Quantum Radar. Its so annoying to look at the enemies chewing up your hp while you are unable to do anything
Quantum Radar is useless, by the time you have cycled through the enemies in a crowd, its ran out.
A waste of powercells,
I would rather heal back the damage.
Maybe an auto lock on to stealthed opponents or more time would be handy
Manni i know that the stealth meta is frustating but i think it's a little bit better than absorber meta. i think it's better because it triggers less times( or maybe i'm wrong) and you can hit enemies ( i mean you cannot target but you can hit enemies at least), not like absorber, that you are invincible the 50% of the time.
Yes, I also think its a bit better than the Absorber Meta. I agree. But why does it always have to go like 99% in one direction? Why not try to make a healthy balance in different metas.
@@ManniGaming Cuz then the money wont flow as quick as it does now :D Manni, pls check my comment up above, ty
Manni i love your rants they have become some of my favourite videos after the vortex, thermite videos. you are our voice !!! . finally war robots does have scientific revenue as me and my dad play war robots but as i spend a bit more money than him i get items normaly priced and then he will some times get deals with a few pounds taken off the price for no reason
Lets appreciate the hard work Manni puts into these videos man
Thank you, Sir!
Hard work? He has the best of the best! 😂
the worst part is
when everyone gets reaper
pixonic will nerf reaper, says “rebalancing “.
I think the most balanced meta is when Ares, Ao Jun, Leech, Ravana are around. Skills are still required when facing the enemy, The Strider is a proof, if u play it well, nothing can catch up with it.
Shotgun meta... best nostalgic meta in the game, after that the game was a peice of garbage nonsense all the time, starting from the ravana
Love the sound design of the weapon, love the way it shoots, hate the weapon itself.
Did you see the claw jaw talon nerf? It is UNBELIEVABLE that war robots can have you buy a product and change it into a completely different product after you’ve bought it. I dont wanna quit wr, but at this rate I cant afford to keep up w/ the meta.
Yeah I noticed that. Though most of my upgraded weapons are from Decay, Hazard and Blight family so they’re not affected… for now. Kinda balanced imo devs haven’t touched them since release but I can totally predict that they might nerf these weapons to oblivion so people ditch them and go for the new OP choices.
So right now I’m not upgrading those weapons until I see the future balance changes for them. Gotta be careful with my spending too 😮
Love the rants Manni, very valuable type of content on this channel!
18:56 I had the same foughts but as my friend had started playing WR completely F2P he gat the same offers as I did even though I've spend over 20€ in a year
I'm "impressed" that prisma not nerfed in time the reapers was launched, but we know it would come soon
Nothing makes me smile as fast as blowing Manni up and watching him leave the match.
The Reaper is unbelievably OP. It dominates is every single game I see. it in. What was Pixonic thinking?!
Pixo management has never played War robots.
As a sniper, I agree... As a brawler in short range, its relatively quickly destroyed, even when its not leaving its stealth cause its so large.
I get how people would hate it, but I think its balanced because everybody spams bots with force fields and reflectors since we’re in that meta, but the reaper is the perfect counter. It balances things because there’s nothing more annoying then dealing with harpy’s, sirens, skyros, and seraphs
@@kameronfeliciano1991you mean nothing more annoying than basically every bit in the game
This is why I love watching you Manni, because you feel what other players like us F2P players and is not scared of ranting about it on Pixonic!~
Danke für dein Video Messerschmitt und bissig wie eh und je .Du sprichst Dinge an die ich wahrscheinlich nicht bemerken würde .Super
Manni i agree with you sooo much, i feel like the game is getting more and more unbearable to play and as a free2play player i am getting annoyed by this whole pay2win thing and i see some more problems at each update... The game is just getting destroyed at an accelerating rhythm and it almost break my heart to say it bc i love this game but it's too different from what i expect from it. Don't worry about the "bad" mood videos, sometimes they are necessary and i love how you explain and point out all the problems... i really wanted to thank you for what you do for us and this game and be aware that no matter what we will always be behind you, keep up the good work😁❤
I've been playing war robots since the beginning and quit after 2 years bcause of work. Then abt a yr ago, one of your video appeared in my yt and brings back all the memories that made me decided to return. I've been actively watching your videos and playing WR since, almost every time I opened youtube I watched your videos first and that's because how good and honest you are on reviewing. Sadly I've stopped playing WR since I watched your videos on how stupid and money-oriented updates that Pixonic did. But thanks to you now I can spend my money on other reasonable games. I really hope thay I can see you talking about one of the other games that I played someday and I hope that you can move on from WR as well. Best of luck to you bud, I'll still watch your videos tho. You know..cause it's you 👍👍
Imagine them adding weapons which will counter Phase Shift 😂
dont give them more ideas
literally anglers will die.
That's my only counter to be able just to survive regular 3-4 sec fire at my bots, nothing else works. Ridiculous.
At one time it was a reward to fight against the stronger players. You won and won then took your loses. I liked it. Now with auto die, and helping it loses its good mood.
Would you say that the Titan sonic weapons or the reaper are better?
I miss when stalker was the king of capping beacons with those double magnums
Manni, any chance you could do a fun throwback video with Nemesis or Tyr robot? I think it will also be nice to make this a playlist 👍
I gave up a while ago and i wanted to see if things got better and i came back to this
At least phase shift is the only way out of this lol.
Manni, as always you're right. That's why I've stopped playing since last month.
Five years ago I stopped six months. No fun no game
But I still see your videos because of how you do, what you said and to be actualized.
Be well my friend here in the game as in your personal life. See you in a match ( I don't know when).
👍👍
The thing with f2p is that less than 1% of the players cover 99% of the development cost. This means, as long as the whales, who spend 5 digit values on new stuff every month are happy then you are golden. I mean, just think of it: let's assume running the game costs them 1 million a month due to developer salary and an average whale spends 10k euros a month. Then that would mean, that out of the millions of players you just need to have ~100 whales to break even.
So if 1% of those who regularly spend money on the game (so 1% of the 1% who pay) which is 1 in 10000 players are those that pay 10000€ a month, then with a million players you would still have the 100 whales you need. And war robots has not a million players, but many more.
That's why from a business perspective, what they are doing is smart. All that counts are the whales, nothing else.
It's hinestly sad how far the gaming industry has fallen.
Manni:i'm not gonna sugarcoat it
Press ability
Tap hold fire
I have crisis I just need to get reaper
Awesome video 😁
I think a good weapon that isn't too overpowered but is still powerful enough is the decay/ unknown decay. It has perfect range for the firing style it has and good damage, overall pretty balanced.
You can threaten Phoenix by saying I will quit and make them nerf everything 🗿🗿🗿
😂the nerf the gave the rust rockets is funny
Manni, I love how you describe this and you are so right. I have been telling everyone how match making puts you up against players with stronger content to push you to purchase more.
Reaper is seriously broken, the new kestrel Drone is broken, the new stealth meta is broken. Just as you said, Pixonic goes way overboard with everything acting like they never get people to buy their new content.
Maybe pixonic is tired of needing to update and introduce more stuff for this game so they may be trying to literally kill the game.
Let's help them and all quit.
I was a pretty serious buyer, ever-increasing Orochi and fafnir came out, I began to spend and quit spending once Imugi came out. I have spears, Anglers, Nethers, harpies, Sirens and everything else but I have 0 imugis, only have 1 heavy new laser weapons and one light, have a Lynx (From your giveaway) and one stake (Also from your giveaway) but unfortunately, don't have the Lynx pilot, don't have another stake, and am far away from the crisis and Reaper weapons and I honestly don't care anymore. Saving money by not playing WR anymore and enjoying it more than ever. I just watch your videos to support you cause you care about the WR Community but maybe you should quit as well. WR is only going to get more and more broken
Uhh Manni.... Try this stupid weapon on the Carnage or Natasha!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Manny you’re the best honest TH-camr…
Couldn't agree more. A weapon that bypasses every existing mechanism of defence in the game is just......well.....stupid.
Add to that that they go hand in hand with Crisis which also gives extra damage ability AND shieldbreak ability all in one. Then you've got the pilot that gives even MORE damage along with various other extra damage pilot skills.
It's just crazy. You basically can't leave cover unless you use phase shift or Anglers electric shift ability and now they're nerfing Angler AGAIN making it even slower, you won't be able to use that to counter Crisis either because it will be so damned slow!!
Like you said though, it's all by design. Pixonic and their endless greed.
So agree with you Manni. Nice talk
"I'm trying not too make this a rant video", said Manni, 15 minutes into a rant video 😂
Pixonic came up with this Reaper that can bypass any type of defensive system in the excistence except the Phase Shift. I think y’all see where I’m going with this.
Anti-Phase Shift in the future?
Manni, remember the 5 strong orken ancelots everywhere..... IM STILL FKN HERE BROTHER!!! Running with 5 strong menders and indra, gargantuar/pentaguel. Still all useless now, sold my 2 reapers.
Man I remember when you had like 50k subs, was following ever since. Keep up the good mood!🎉
Funny how pixonic said they weren't gonna add resistance adding or bypassing things many years ago and then they added that stuff later on when most people forgot about them saying that lol
Once again you are completely accurate 😊
That was such a great breakdown of the simple problems this game has. I appreciate you speaking about the issues in such a great and logical way. Great point about the reaper contradicting the description THEY GIVE of multiple defenses.
Siren description:
The Reflector doesn't fully protect the robot, but it "CANT BE CANCELLED BY ENEMY ACTIONS OR ABILITIES"!!🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
GREAT, my Guass build is now worthless because Pixonic wants to add a new weapon that is better in any way.
It's almost like Orkans versus ultimate Orkan things.
Why can't they at least make it so that the weapon only bypasses, forcefields, or reflectors, and not make anything prior obsolete
Weapon rebalance (at the most!):
Forcefields: It can penetrate 50% of it, but it still gives a chance to the weak robots that rely on it.
Reflectors: ignore, but you still take damage
Defense systems: (1. that's a Guass's thing) 2. penetrate 75% of it at the most
Damage: 7k
Mani I been playing since the beginning walking war robots. Over the last year the game has killed its player base with the release nerf repeat bs. Now it’s just totally absurd. The amount of real money that needs to be spent is in the 1000s of dollars for this stuff. The ultimate weapons are ridiculously over powered aswel
Manni has the most goated intro
Still miss😢
*BRUTAL*
as a man can kill
You breaking down that 5 time stealth orochi was so funny lol
the fact that these weapons ignore the theseus pilot has been bothering me for a while now. it clearly mentions that the pilot ignores any kind of defense mitigation, yet in practice its purpose is non existent. with the theseus pilot skyros would've turned out to be one of the very few niche counters to these weapons, but in reality it is nothing but a sitting duck, what an utter shame.
Manni, the best way to sell a product is as a solution to a serious problem. So they’re making stealth a serious problem for everyone and then later on, introduce a module/drone/something that can counter stealth. It’ll make hundreds of millions
I was being sniped from a Reaper Crisis while i was in my Luchador from 1000 meters away... Even if you have 2 maxed out repair amps you do not stand a chance... 1/3 of my HP went NOWHERE in an instant. That thing probably had nuclear amps fully loaded man, reflector is so useless too this feels so underwhelming...
19:31 PIXONIC DOES THAT 100%. I have 2 accounts and they're almost on par with each other. One is of course more dominant content wise but they're similar. The dominant one is the one that I had spent a lot of money on and the offers are okay-ish (I was mostly buying cheap offers) but the 2nd account HAS EVEN cheaper, hence even better offers and I made only 1 payment on the account. It even gave me free tokens (for ads) when there was the 7 day token event but my other account didn't get that deal because I simply spent more money on it.
10:25 what is next? Steath meta down in recruit 3 because cossack has 10 stealth when landing and during the jump?
Lol, thats was clanmate he blew out the sky
Remember the TH-cam video where the Pixonic COO (?) was addressing shareholders? He spoke at length on their business plan...."we sell power!"
At least with the absorber shields you could still attack them when you get up close, but now you can’t do that unless you have a good spot to shoot them (with still missing 65% of your shots) or it’s a bigger robot your shooting at with face hogging
The Only Way to Balance this weapon is changing from 6 shots per round to 1 shot and keep the damage of that 1 shot, Do Not multiply the damage of that One shot 6 times!! And did I mention that the range should have been 500ms or 600ms instead of 1100??
Agree with every word you said. This game getting more and more broken. All this time i spend my money to create strong robots but now all of them are garbage... all flying robots now are useless...
So, what i got??? Lost money and time...
I don't know, should I continue to play or let it all go to hell 🤔
At least thank you @ManniGaming to share it
@Manni_Gaming. cool
Waiting to win ultimate reaper and ultimate crisis 😀😃🙂
It's really good that you doing this content.
You also sad about prices for purchase. It's TRUE. Before I started to buy gold or silver, average price was around 12 - 18 euro.
Now normally prices starting from 23 and more euro. So, once pixonic see that you making purchases, they increase the prices...
It's been 2 weeks I stopped to buy resources. Angler got the baff, some weapons also... try to guess in which robot or weapon invest now 🤔
At this moment (June 2023) I had been playing the game for one month and started following Manni, Adrian and Predator. My spending into the game increased one month later. Around this time Pixo introduced the Rook.
Manni and others criticized it heavily, too.
By end of September Pixo announced the nerfing of the Reapers, AND a whole bunch of robots (Seraph, Angler, Mars, etc), which had been nerfed before, making them basically useless. My main hangar took the full hit.
Reason for that? They introduced even more broken robots: Newton (Titan), which was basically killing with one hit all Titans (save the Rook) and the worst: Ochokochi.
At some point I learned to kill the Crisis-Reaper (Loki and Lynx very effective). Predator gave us possibilities to kill the Rook (for example Sharanga, Sonic Weapons, three Cannibal reactors).
But Ochokochi.. that new thing was killing Titans and everyone else. HP up to two million. I had no chance with my hangar. You need three team mates to bring down an Ocho, the problem was, people were having full hangars with M3 Ochos.
By mid Sept Manni announced he would leave the game. Two weeks later he had to return.
I uninstalled the game two days ago (Oct 4 2023) and hope to never come back. The initial fun I had was stripped away and as an adult, I would certainly not keep playing the game Pixonic wants. It's simply too much money (€1000+ only in July!) for just a GAME.
Hı bro are you thinking of selling your War robots account to me ?
it's actually pretty sad that most of manni's recent videos are mostly criticism due to how broken the game is now, i completely understand why pixonic is just not going in the right path
one day you will get weapons can shot though any wall , and then pixonic will bring angel in the game , and later god will appear.
I encountered this robot a dozen times on the battlefield. It’s all fun and funny when it’s your teammates using it on the enemy but when their using on you it’s not!!
These weapons are capable of talking out my entire hanger even my 150 max titans with max modules gets destroyed in seconds.
yeah manny i agree with you that when in early days the matchmaking was so balanced everybody had a leo or griffin and almost same weapons but recently i logged into the game and played with my ares and a shell bot came and destroyed me then there was a fenrir which was not dying because of my old school weapons and this is because getting new robots and weapons is so difficult because it takes 3 days for some 180 components to be build and also they take around millions of silver which is so difficult to get by playing just 1-2 hours and gold is like impossible to get it takes month to have 10000 gold and there's a ultimate luck event where it takes about 10000 for a single spin and platinum i have never been able to have a 1000 to buy a robot
hey mani thanks but I'm not participating in the giveaway 😅 I've stopped playing the game because of unfair gameplay but I can't believe that when i used to try to participate I've never selected but now i am 🤣😅
Manni if you read this I’ve been subscribed for years and I learned much of war robots because of you but I don’t play it much because my account got deleted because they taught I was a hacker and I did spend 10 euro on the game with max meta weapons and robots please do seomthing about it bye😢
Lets be honest Manny, the only reason they continue to release broken bots and change the Meta is so that people drop insane amounts of money into the game to remain competitive.
I realize that pixonic is a company and its goal is to make money but it just seems like they love playing the short game and not the long game. If they continue to make these types of decisions, it will do nothing but erode their product to a point that no one will want it.
I wish the WR community would do what the WT community just did.
Does anyone notice the typo in the title robotzs instead of robots
I just started playing WR last year December I'm level 23 I stopped playing team games because my device is bad things are expensive as hell and obtaining things example gold and platinum is hard I don't even haven the 5 slot in my hanger unlocked and hearing manni as often as I do makes me sad😢
Damn i need me some reapers. They probably work just as well on good ol behemoth
My Skyros MK2 level 4 max pilot skill got killed in 3 sec today from reapers...
11:30 because thats make not money🤷♂️
I think the “Meta” isn’t the problem. This all started when they introduced modules that allowed every robot to have shield, jump, stealth and so on. All they need to do to return the games glory is take out all models and rebalance the drones so they don’t give these passive effects. Additional damage, speed, defense even jump for fun is fine but allow specific robots the abilities only they should have. Plus, as a rebalance for the drones, replace these OP abilities with things like a decrease in the reload time or a longer duration last stand. I mean come on it’s a games the options are limitless so for anyone wondering, manni included, they can fix the game. Maybe they need help or just someone new on the team but I see no reason for any of this nonsense. Like for manni to see please maybe he can offer these options to pixonic!!
So true... I used to love this game , I am now questioning myself...
yamatau gameplay on test server is literally a bunch of reaper crisis sniping each other from spawn very fun and balanced
Nothing that can't Reaper handle 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
War robots definitely has different prices for different people. Things on my main account are always 2x or 3x more expensive than the same things in my baby account. And my baby account gets lots more extremely good value deals and offers than my main account does too. It even gets more rewads ads every day. I've messaged pixonic about it but never got a response.
HEY MANNI! An update on my hanger, through the grinding of keys, I now have a razador mars, a sonic Skyros, and still the Skadi Fafnir, I have a talon Seraph, and now(I call it the nether that counters nethers) my newest and most powerful robot yet, the scald nether, the blastcharge goes through and even breaks the nether's forcefield so it becomes easy to kill them, I've been using it for a day and in that time j probably kill 30-58 nether's with ease. I hope you make a video on that, I also use dread scald since y'know I used the keys, and the ones I get from my boxes are special weapons, so I hope to see a video with 4x Dread/Augmented scald on a Nether
@Manni_Gaming. One, I can tell it's the not actual one. Two, I didn't participate in anything
imagine this meta with many Reapers, it will be a duel, whoever hits first wins. This meta is a disaster.
The damage is to crazy😭 it can kill my seraph mid flight😭😭
