I've noticed this as well and I believe it's a bug with snapping the camera to units with the hotkeys. Sometimes when double tapping 1, 2, or 3 I will find myself completely zoomed in.
This matches up pretty well with what I've seen in games though I haven't actually gone and tested it like this. Melee drones are definitely more powerful than gun drones as they have more health, do more damage to everything, and only take another second or two to get in range compared to a bullet drone. Healing drones also seem to have little benefit as it can take ages for a ball of even 10-20 of them to heal anything decently tanky. In that time it is almost always more efficient
@SneakyMaxx My usage of the word grind may have been confusing there as that's what I meant. I was saying to institute a system where I can take a weapon with an affect I like (let's use an example of a corrosive pistol) and then use the crappy pistols that I get from crates to power it up and improve its quality. @Godgib The missions are helpful in getting the money that we need and do definitely speed up the process of getting crates. My big problem is that the rate that loo
The bug report system is bugged right now [e digicons]x_x[/e] As for your issue, I also use dual monitors and if you full screen Servo with Alt+Enter it snaps to my primary monitor and works just fine. Just be aware that the game does not contain the mouse, so you can go into the other screen and tab out on accident.
One problem that I'm having now is the quality system for gear. It doesn't matter that I have a slow proc up cpu and a freeze rifle if the freeze rifle is of such low quality that the loader pistols I started with do more damage. I think it would be a good addition to allow us to grind up weapons to improve the ones we want. In this way, I don't have to wait for the loot crate to drop me a specifically the right element and type of weapon and high quality of it. I
I think the big thing to remember that is different between DoW and this game is that the characters were designed for both melee and ranged. Obviously some heroes were better at one than the other, but they were at 100% of their capacity to fight whether they were in range or melee. In Servo, if you put a gun in one hand and sword in the other, at best you are only ever doing 50% of the damage you could be if you dual wielded the same thing. You can only ever use 1 weapon at a time,
I haven't actually come across spike damage weapons in game, and it isn't specifically listed in the manual. I'm guessing that it is another damage type like hack or smash, but again, that's just a guess.
Weird. Well at least you have the info you need until that gets sorted out. ^.^
The short answer is yes, the long answer is everything but special founder-only parts that we get for free. So you will be set back, but don't start from absolutely zero and you get exclusive parts. At least that's what I've been told.
Seeing as I started this post string, I suppose I should give my experience on this now. As of right now, I have one servo set up for drone killing, one for sniping turrets/servos, and one general use servo. My anti drone servo has a grenade launcher with a grenade head, a volley launcher, and an AoE sword that i picked up. My anti-servo has a fire rifle and a missile launcher and basically shoots a servo until the fire procs and then missiles them. My last one
Hey Tchey, There's a brief description of these in the manual in the vault, but here's a recap for you. Anytime you see something like "deals 50 Hack over 5 seconds" it is referencing the damage type hack. It is just saying that it deals a bonus 50 damage of the damage type hack over 5 seconds. For status effects, EMP deala bonus damage to shields and can stun, Fire makes a target attack faster but take double damage, Cold slows their movement and attack speed

This is something I really would like having as well. If I could just pick the drone while the factory is building that would be very handy as right now I build a factory, and comr back to it to find a whole bunch of melee drones that have appeared. On this topic, being able to set a rally point with a right click would also be a big help when I want to assign or reassign multiple rally points quickly.
Woohoo! Online play! I think I was in your last one Sneaky because you mention the lag. I had the Servos named Lil' Blink, High Octane, and the Godfather. It was fun to see other people's Servos tromping around and blowing stuff up rather than the same AI ones. I'll definitely be back tomorrow!
@BXP_Godgib: I have been getting them, usually after upgrading bloom mines but before the drones or turrets. I can win that first engagement just fine, it's the second one that inevitably pops up when you try to push after the fight that I can't seem to win. My servos are usually all shot up, my drone army is crippled, all my abilities are on cooldown, and now I have to overcome the servos that just dropped back in while their turrets spray my units. It may be I still just have to fig
Hey guys, Here's my steam url if you want to add me for some games - http://steamcommunity.com/id/Exophos/home/ I'm free to play most evenings (EST) and would love to finally get some online action [e digicons]:D[/e]
@steveonce I'm also running this off of a laptop and the only time I have any real issue is when there are lots of simultaneous explosions or sparks from the drills on screen. I haven't seen any massive map so far, so I think if you can do the tutorial you should be fine.
Hey well, There is a skirmish mode against four difficulties of AI right now. [quote who="stevenonce" reply="1" id="3542799"] I don't forsee too many mods for this game allowed (if at all). Think about it, every game mode, every type, you unlock gold and/or parts. If I could mod the game and make an easy way to unlock stuff, I'd be super OP in multiplayer PvP. Makes the game not fair. [/quote] I think the easy way to fix that would to make custom mode
I did open my crates Godgib, I got a whole bunch of head, torso, and leg parts, an emp fist, a shield, and a cluster rocket launcher. Things are better now, I got another crate last night that had a grenade launcher and a missile launcher which has made things SIGNIFICANTLY better. As far as strategy in PvP I've been doing early bloomwells and then going T2 as I drop a few factories and an armory. I've been captaining with Blink, so in the first skirmish I'll drop
I feel as though I'm the minority here, but in the round of Medium Co-Op with the AI that I played on map #2, I was able to win. The only real close call I had was wave 3 when I hadn't teched up yet to get a second servo but my turrets were able to hold it together. I think the big deciding factor here is whether your servos are ranged or melee. I had a rifle, a twin pistol, and a twin piston servo, and once I got to the later round the piston one was dying ext
Hey, Having just completed the tutorial and a few skirmishes, I figured I'd give my thoughts so far. Servos - Cool as hell and look awesome stomping around. Customization - I'm loving it so far, still don't really have enough parts to do much, I can't even fully equip the three servos I have. Pilots - Reece's power is really interesting, still figuring out when to use it. Blink is super useful for calling servos in mid-fight. Hauk is useful

Hello community! I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself, and say how excited I am for this game! I'm seeing a lot of games and companies that I recognize and love. I'm a longtime rts fanatic, playing Age of Empires 1-3, Empire Earth, Dawn of War 1/2, Orcs Must Die 1/2 and the vast majority of the Total War series to name a few. On top of this, I have always loved the mech genre, playing Hawken, Mechwarrior, and several Armored Cores, so this is an awe
