If you tried to log onto Robocraft servers yesterday (9th November), you may have come across some problems logging in. These issues were due to our third party server provider suffering a power cut at their datacenter which caused network issues for our game.
To compensate all those who lost limited time Premium during the downtime, we've decided to give out free 3 Day Premium to everyone via the promo code below:

To compensate all those who lost limited time Premium during the downtime, we've decided to give out free 3 Day Premium to everyone via the promo code below:
After several hours of downtime, Robocraft servers are now back up. However we'll be tracking stability carefully over the next 12 hours. If we don't have any downtime after that we will release a 1 Day Premium code to all.
Thanks to every player out there for being patient during the unscheduled downtime.
Due to technical issues with our third party server provider, Robocraft servers are currently down. We're currently working with our server provider to come up with a solution to get everything back up and running.
There is no ETA on when service will resume as normal, but rest assured we're working on deploying a solution as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your patience. We hope to get you back playing very soon.
UPDATE #1: Servers will be back online at or before 4pm UTC. We will be releasing a 1 Day Premium code to everyone to make up for any lost Premium game time. Again, we'd like to apologies for the downtime.
UPDATE #2: Unfortunately we're still getting issues with our server provider, so we have no choice but to extend maintenance to 6pm UTC. Keep an eye on this news story for future updates.
UPDATE #3: Our third party servers will not be back up at 6pm UTC as anticipated. We are now pursuing an alternate method to get everything back up and running by putting in place alternate infrastructure. No timeframe on when servers will be back at present.
UPDATE #4: Servers are now back online and we'll be tracking stability carefully over the next 12 hours. If we don't have any downtime after that we will release a 1 Day Premium code tomorrow. [/b]

In addition to all the spook-tacular festivities currently going on in Robocraft as part of Hallowfest 4, we’ve discounted and updated our Steam-exclusive Spooky Bundle! The Halloween-themed pack is currently available for 25% off its usual price and has been updated to include the new 4 Spider Leg cosmetics, replacing the Flak Cannon.
The current in-game x5 increased legendary drop rate also applies to the crates included in this bundle. Fancy right?
A word to the wise; we plan on removing this bundle from sale on 16th November, so be sure to snap it up before it goes into hibernation until Hallowfest 2018.

Bats & Spiders BRAWL - It's land vs air in this spooktacular halloween-themed BRAWL. Who will be victorious in the battle between bats and spiders? Create Robot monstrosities and fight to the death!
BRAWL Rules:
Permitted weapons/modules: all weapons and modules permitted
Permitted movement: Insect Legs and Wings/Rudders only
Permitted CPU: All
Game Mode: Battle Arena
BRAWL Reward: x3 XP and x1 crate for first victory bonus
HUD - ON/OFF - Players can now hide/unhide the in-game HUD by pressing the +/= key. This has been added to enable streamers and video content creators to capture cleaner gameplay footage. Players can also turn on the HUD by pressing the TAB key.
Note: These items are classed as cosmetics and so cannot be forged
IMPROVEMENTS:
We have made a number of improvements to Wings and Rudder parts including Bat Wings and Rudders at all sizes. The rate at which they ‘bank’ and ‘turn’ and ‘elevate’ as well as their ‘thrust’ has been adjusted. We have improved the largest parts a small amount, and the smaller parts have been improved a lot to ensure less performance loss when using smaller Wing and Rudder parts. We have also greatly reduced the loss of performance the heavier your Robot gets - so rather than a 75% reduction in performance, you'll have a 50% reduction.
General improvements to Insect Legs making them more enjoyable to use in battle
Improvements to Hover Blade parts
Battle Arena rewards increased from 3+3 to 4+4
Steam Achievements have now been localised
OTHER CHANGES:
The rarity of all Spooky Cosmetic parts has been reduced to Uncommon for the duration of the Hallowfest 4 event
The drop-rate percentage of Legendary parts in all crates has been increased to x5 for the duration of the Hallowfest 4 event
Hover Blades are now affected by carry mass
Unity game engine updated to version 5.6
BUG FIXES:
Fixed a bug which caused a 'Photon Error' when a player purchased a Robot from the CRF and immediately dismantled it. This photon error would then lock a player out of their account when re-logging
Fixed a bug which prevented some players from editing Robots due to a "Cubes you don't own are placed on this Robot" error
Fixed a bug which caused default player avatars from appearing correctly in the party invite widget
Fixed a bug that caused your 'cube/part gun' to incorrectly display the number of laser wasps you own when completing the tutorial
