Robocraft Discussion: Why It's Great

Hey guys Garens coming at you with another post. Today I'll be writing about... Well, read the words on top.

So, the topic: Why is the game so great? I'll tell you my arguments for this. This post was inspired by the fact that the servers are down for maintenance.

If you're a 'veteran' or played before the 'Yogscast Accident'(please don't sue me, I love all the Yogscast...), then let me tell you: I wouldn't be here. I would never have known about this game and I wouldn't sit here typing words about this game. So, if you're an 'old' player, then you may know more about this topic than me. I've just experienced this for the first time. You may have seen bigger maintenance times or more of them, or more frequent ones, but I'll tell you my ideas about it and you can do the same in the comments.

So, firstly: The Yogscast. They did GOOD for the game. There are a few points.

  1. So, let me tell you. I've seen the old videos of Robocraft on Youtube. There were unbalanced battles, with tier 10 and tier 1 robots in the same battle. There are MORE PEOPLE! Why would you not want more people to know about this beatuiful and amazing and awesome game? They just opened everyone's eyes to how GREAT the game is. They obviously opened my eyes. The second I watched all their videos on it, I went to my computer (As I was watching on a smartphone) and downloaded the game.There were probably A LOT OF people who did the same and stayed with it for as long as I did.
  2. The second thing. They made the developers, who are probably more amazing and awesome then the game, realise that maybe their servers are too unstable. There was obviously an explosion of people coming in with the Steam Greenlight thing and the people that came with the videos made Freejam, one of the best Indie devs realise that maybe they need more servers. Or more stable ones at best.

These two arguments are the ones I could come up with. And I know that this is a touchy subject to most people (It was when I started playing and general chat was a flamewar with people wanting all the Yogscasters going to hell) but I wanted to cover it as this is the biggest achievements the game had after the Steam Greenlight.

So, the point I want to get at is this: Freejam are GREAT AND AWESOME for making this game and in general doing what they do. They work hard, as this maintenance shows. I don't know if you've seen the 'Soon...' posts on the main page of the game, but I fell that the changes they are implementing are great. They are hard at work and if this means a little less of playing robot wars with big boy's future toys, then so be it. I sure hope you don't want me to hell after this post, because I defended the Yogscast. I do hope that you don't do that. If you don't believe me then please just don't read anything about this post, there'll be a new one tomorrow. I'll go now and thirst for more Robocraft, checking the servers every 2 minutes.

If you enjoyed, please let me know by putting a little comment under this post and following the blog by e-mail.

Anyways, have a wonderful day and have fun out on the battlefield.
