Hey guys! From seeing videos, this mod looks great! I'm still having trouble with my computer, though. Everytime I try to load a game or even testing in the garage, the game freezes. There's no arena's available for me to choose in the arena tab. Anyone know the cause of this? I made a post about this in tech&sup. awhile ago, but wondering if anyone here might know (hopefully this ain't breaking any rules)

Also, Ripper looks DAMN beautiful.

Is there gonna be an update to this, to balance all the component's stats out?

This is probably gonna be a stupid question that has already been answered, but will other robots like stinger, major damage, OLL_E, Matilda and other original house robots be included in the Christmas update? I could see stinger as a potential problem as he's got a very thin body, but if you could do it, I can be sure there will be a lot of stinger vs Saint matches.

PS I'm new to the forums, but not to the mod, had it for a month now and love it

Ooh.

Any talk with the UK teams entering Battlebots Season 2, to try and get their Season 2 bots into RWRA2?

I'll let you guess, from the fact that this is Robot Wars, a company which is not BattleBots, which itself is a company that really doesn't like copyright infringement. :P

Why isn't Envy in this mod?

This release will come with a balance patch for the components. Component updates will continue (mainly with cheatbot2 and replica components being balanced and added to the main roster) for a while after the "last" main release. There'll be at least 1 or 2 further updates to components.

Yeah, but I figured that, being that they're UK builders, and all...

Y'know what, never mind. I ain't read the Battlebots contracts, so I don't know what the contitions are. Still, I look forward to the bots that are already advertised!

YES! This is gonna be the biggest addition to the mod - the ability to not just battle existing robots, but to make your own that truly stand a chance. I can't wait.

The fanboys of robots complaining are one of the reasons we're stopping development and I've never heard any of them sound as self entitled as you just did.

Thank you to FOTEPX and Tommy who are showing genuine enthusiasm though, HB and I really appreciate that. Mr AS is indeed gonna continue to iron out the components and their balance after we're done, that's basically gonna be GTM exclusive updates so count yourselves lucky

Badger · « **Reply #2571 on:** January 05, 2016, 05:31:11 AM »

Wait, you're stopping development? That's an awful shame, unless you've completely finished everything you wanted to do. This mod has definitely created the best RW game of them all, and I'm truly grateful for all the hard work the whole dev team has put into the project.

cephalopod · « **Reply #2572 on:** January 05, 2016, 05:49:54 AM »

I don't think everything we wanted to do will be done, but committing to it with the lack of enthusiasm most of the team has for it at the moment is just not right.
I personally wouldn't want to make promises we don't deliver on because the support some of you have shown doesn't deserve that, so we're getting together what we have and a couple of extra bits as our final expansion.
There will be a nice mix of retro bots, our friends robots, and a few house robots too, as well as the new studio arena you can see in that render. Not too bad of a parting gift, in my opinion :)

jackster96 · « **Reply #2573 on:** January 05, 2016, 06:55:31 AM »

Looks awesome as usual, bit of a shame about it being the final expansion but if there isn't any enthusiasm when making it it would more or less become a chore? but this mod Is the most amount of fun I've had with ra2, is there a chance it could be picked up again later on? Can't wait to play the expansion

You got it.
There's every chance there will be additional stuff released in time but, officially, this is the end of the cycle.
As mentioned, Mr AS will be putting out balance/component updates sporadically to help the building aspect but for replicas and arenas this will probably be the end.
Thanks for the kind words though, we all appreciate it :)

RedAce · « **Reply #2575 on:** January 05, 2016, 07:58:23 AM »

Where exactly on the Facebook page are these fanboys whining about exactly? I'm still a bit confused by that as they should be grateful for everything this already has and how much time you guys put in this thing. I don't mean to sound harsh about this, as I appreciate the time and effort put into this.

...Oh yeah. New Studio Arena and such. Cool.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #2576 on:** January 05, 2016, 08:13:10 AM »

I know exactly how you feel about the fanboys Craaig. If I were able to (and I can't) I'd pass on my BBWiki admin privileges and retire. Thanks Ben.

I love everything I see in this picture, especially the new studio arena and the new Hypno-Disc!

DaSnowingSteak · « **Reply #2578 on:** January 05, 2016, 11:27:16 AM »

The new arena looks promising and the bots to thanks for this.
