Dev Jam - Agility & CPU Progression System

[fighter33]

CPU limits on Tiers worked pretty well. You had one limit for all bots. So let's say you build a max cpu bot out of t1 cubes and guns etc, then you had a big bot, but because of the tiered parts, you were t1. If you build the same bot again, out of t10 parts, then you had a max cpu t10 bot. Not sure if it worked exactly like that though. It worked atleast.

if they added a CPU-based tier instead it will be great. so no 2k CPU Impaler in T4

+1 the result is not only viability for smaller designs but allows new players to build something simpler and have a fighting chance in T1 without having to pay for their CPU per bay... What a stupid idea! Yes I think FJ are entirely missing the point of everything we ask for.

The idea that all new players need to build little bots to get used to the game is even dumber!

How will FJ keep new players when they get their creativity limited right from the start?

little bots suck.

There is no use too them since there is no scaling so building small is pointless.

2nd new players aren't retarded. you can like find enough videos on youtube telling you to rod force and use the damage routing system.
Making new players make litle bots just nerfs their creativity and actually limits their learning since you can try out less with less lego bricks to use .. obviously

also have you seen small laser accuracy ?

you want new players to sit in a 45 min match as they all try to hit each others micro bot with practically zero damage weapons with practically zero accuracy ?

Eh? T1 is literally blockspam of 2000CPU bricks. Those T0 and T1 smgs can hardly destroy a brick without running dry. CPU limitations will result in smaller builds, allowing T0 smgs to be more effective in combat. btw, Those lasers are equally accurate... its just the placement that matters.

Forcing lower tech robots to also be lower CPU results in an overall reduction in breathing room for such bot designers - and encourages overtiering.

The true issue with low tiers having a high TTK is that weapons lose too much power with every tier lower. T0s and T1s are hardly used for this reason.

A problem that I recognized less than 2 months ago.

With higher base damage for lower tier weapons - blockspam at lower tiers would be less of an issue.

I agree a bit, tho FJ needs to permanently remove overtiering... If that's done, imo lower tiers wud be far batter even with CPU limitations.

Should i just copy my bot 100 times now to get free bays?

If you want to make an manual copy after update, then YES, you can make an 100 copy right now.
And then, after update, you will delete one robot from your copy and make an manual copy from ZERO CPU.
