How do you feel about Windows 10? I'm just getting used to windows 8 currently.

I think there's been enough cool looking bots made that an RA3 BOTM could be serviceable.

I find it funny that for being devs that are supposedly super passionate about the game and actually took input from this community they don't seem to have realized our obsession with wedges.
Their biggest mistake was not coming on here and actively asking us what we wanted out of a new game. They lurked, for sure, considering some of the features they did add, and references like the SFTW replica in the game; but they did so blindly, without any direction, and only picked up bits and pieces of what people have talked about wanting. If they came on here and asked, we could have given them a list of the things that RA2 did right, and what kinds of new bits and pieces we would have liked. Edit: Guys, we have feedback and bug report threads that aren't getting any posts. The least we can do is organize our thoughts and hope that these issues can be worked on, instead of just being miserable pricks.

I would just like to remind the GTM community that you are essentially the only reason that Robot Arena 3 exists. The fact that we've been holding on for so long to an abandonware game made over a decade ago, complaining to ourselves about all the cool things that would be able to happen if a third installment was made. Through all that time, we've modded the hell out of RA2 and pushed it to its limits to try and achieve those things, but this has been the efforts of a select few modders in the community. There have been a handful of alpha releases and frameworks for games teased throughout this time, but nothing substantial ever came of any of it because it was all just individual people at home, messing around with modeling and coding as a hobby. What we have here, today, is a semi-functional, real, RA3, which is backed by an apparently very committed, but at the least a VERY REAL development team. And what they've released today is not exactly what you or I wanted, but it is a real, tangible game that has been made JUST FOR YOU. You aren't enjoying it, and they know that. They've been listening this whole time, and that alone proves that they very much want you to enjoy the game that they're making. We owe it to them to at least give them the benefit of the doubt, and help them make RA3 the experience we want it to be, and the success that they can be proud of. Please focus your feedback into the following thread: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19013.msg701890;topicseen#new

This is the official place to discuss feedback regarding RA3 during the course of its early access development. Anything bug related should be reported in the following thread: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=19008.0There are a lot of issues with RA3 as of its initial release. However, the dev team has shown that they are committed to listening to feedback from the community to improve the game. We ask that you keep all discussion in here both CIVIL and CONSTRUCTIVE. It is also important that we tell the developers what we like about the game so far to ensure that these features remain in the game and can also be improved upon going forward. Please try to follow the following format, provided by LiNcK: Feedback area: (Chassis making, item placement, online, etc.) Game Version: (Steam > Properties > Local Files > Current Content BuildID) Reported On: (Date) Feedback description:Recommended fix:Priority: This thread will be heavily monitored to ensure that its usefulness is upheld, to promote the improvement of Robot Arena 3 as a game. The following are feedback posts that were made before this official thread was made, and as such do not follow the suggested format. I've spoilered them to avoid clutter, but feel as though the authors of these opinions have a right for them to be heard. My list of reasons why this game is bad.
UI is old and looks outdated.
No weight classes.
Scale of size is terrible.
You can only move at one speed.
You have to very precisely move components into place as there is no snap to grid function.
You can not edit a bot once you've uploaded it to the Steam workshop.
Components can go outside the chassis.
Components can be overlapped with ease.
You don't need a control board to wire up a robot.
The online functionality is broken. The host always wins.
You can move before the game starts when in online play.
Servos and burst motors stay in the air when moving the start/finish and therefore cannot be judged easily.
Parts can go through the robot during gameplay. (I was able to break the burst motor basically)
You can't make a two wheel robot properly.
The chassis can be distorted to be put through itself.
"Havok" explosions have happened on multiplayer.
Camera constantly moves down in the bot editor at times.
Camera angles have to be changed via mouse.
The skinning system is terrible and needs to be reworked.
Train runs robots over, does no damage.
I'm going to consistently update this list when I remember more reasons. I'll also add a reason if someone says it to me.
i was going to analyze something playable but RA3 isn't as it is now
-it tried to traduce the game in french and failed
-no 2 layers option only for bots, which would simply
-building a 2D layer in 3D is very confusing
-building a chassis is confusing in general.
building:
-clunky. there is no collision mesh at all, when i put some zteks on my baseplate they were put halfway through the chassis and i had to raise them for them to be properly placed, and when i raised them, since it didn't raised by increments one ended up higher than the others
-when i rotated a motor, first i couldn't rotate it before placing it (so it ended being badly placed) but then when i rotated it it wasn't by increments either, so i had to try several times to have a motor that was rotated 180° from the other and then i'm not even sure i could put it properly
here. then i asked for a refund.
don't buy it right now. maybe they can fix it but as it is now it is unplayable.
OK, so with my limited playtime here are the main things I've come up with:
Pros:
Being able to move, rotate components after we've added them is pretty sweet
As above with chassis points, I actually think the chassis layer stuff is very well done, after I had some trouble with it initially.
Deleting 1 component deletes all the components attached to that component
I played 1 online match and as the host it worked well, except player 2 not loading in properly. But I assume that'll be fixed.
The bot exchange is pretty dope
The actual battling physics is better than RA2 I think
Neutral:
Floating components. It should probably be a big con but I enjoy the freedom it gives, especially considering you're locked to a grid
Cons:
No rotation lock, so it's hard to get components to line up properly
Same as above for vertical height adjustment
All component placement is locked to a grid until after placement
UI is very poor all around, but especially in the botlab. Consider even copying RA2's UI scheme, the current has very little info, and as such it's impossible to know how many batteries you need, for example
Motors in general are too weak
Drive motors impart too much torque on the chassis, and for some reason it feels like components don't affect this, so it's really easy to make a bot that cant move anywhere because it just backflips
Can't move any motors in the botlab
The AI is abysmal, most of the time they immobilize themselves
The damage points in battle are too large and don't mean much, overall there's hardly any destructive feeling in battles, there needs to be more feedback to the player
There's a ton more but I can't be arsed to remember it all right now, may or may not update this list of cons.

Yes guys, I've been playing for about an hour, and I think that with our feedback this can be made useful.

Also considering streaming if anybody's interested. I've just got no idea how to stream, so I'd want to gauge interest before I put some time into figuring out how.

I think it's likely that they kept it that style just so it is easily recognizable as the fan favorite that it was in the past.

Pictures are going to be pretty much the only way any is interested in this, mate.

Well this has turned into quite a mess, hasn't it?
A much bigger deal has been made of all of this than need be. This is all over one person, guys.
I know we aren't always extremely swift in dealing with significant matters, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that there's actually a good handful of us now, who all live in different time zones, work a variety of different hours, many of us are students and part of the work force, and have more going on than just GTM. And in the past month or so we've made a conscious effort to refrain from stepping on each others' toes when dealing with the little stuff, and making sure we're all on relatively the same page with the big stuff. (A lot of this having to do with how much Nary and I used to butt heads) Coordinating all of that takes a chunk of time. In this particular instance, I can take a chunk of the blame for delaying, as I've had a fairly busy 24 hours and they wanted to make sure they had my input.
I'm not sure if anybody's noticed, but I'm not really involved with the day to day operations around here much anymore, I simply don't have the time and I haven't been that involved with the community either. I'm mostly around at this point to weigh in on things behind the scenes.
My point, basically, is these things that have the ability to set a precedent going forward, we need a little time on. Give us a day or two before you start demanding results.

Signing onto the case folks. I'll get the crew together and figure out where we go from here, hopefully we'll have this figured out tomorrow. Most likely we'll be asking for community involvement in the final decision. Stand by.

tl;dr you want complicated components to be made up of multiple individual components? That would be rad.

I feel like we can't honestly hone in on problem areas until we've been playing around with it for a bit
