Thoughts on the module rework after the test server.
Let's talk in economic terms.
I believe the main buyers in War Robots are:
Meta players
Those who invest in any kind of robot and equipment they love.
I’m the type 2 player.
One of the things I love most about War Robots is the high level of customization. The ability to make robots playable based on your own needs and preferences thanks to customization is what makes War Robots unique.
I believe that any business decision that reduces the customization of robots in the game is like throwing money down the drain.
I’m a fan of exotic and unique builds, and I pay money for these builds every month. If I know that I can’t customize a robot I like to my liking, I literally have no reason to buy anymore.
Predator WR (the YouTuber) is very famous for his unique and unconventional builds, and I love that. But if the module rework limits this, there will be fewer exotic and unique builds, which are what make the game varied.
So, the only thing left to spend money on would be meta robots and weapons. But in my opinion, that would leave a lot of money on the table, because a significant portion of Pixonic's revenue comes from microtransactions for non-meta builds.
I think the vision for War Robots should be making robots more customizable without disrupting the META > NERF > NEW META > NERF > NEW META business model.
I’m no one to judge this business model that relies on constantly motivating players (customers) with new meta builds. But in my opinion, in addition to the Meta, it should be possible to make every robot even more customizable through:
•More weapons
•More legendary pilots
•More pilot' skills
•More modules
•New classes of upgrades/customization like "SOFTWARES": modifying the robot’s central computer to increase stats or sacrifice speed for firepower, or, increasing abilty cooldown time to gain more durability, and so on.
•More skins for robots (one of humanity’s irresistible urges is to have something unique that others don’t have); limited edition skins every 2-3 weeks would make aesthetic customization a separate business $$$.
•More drones.
This way, the META players would be happy to have their broken robots, and all other players who spend on microtransactions would be ultra-happy playing their unique robots!
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!
