So I've had a chance to finally play some. I'm now 10 games in and I've won exactly 2 of them. Between the tankers, the premade All-Champion farming groups, the idiots, and getting victimized by the MM I'm pretty pissed off. At this rate, I'll get a Gekko next week. Way to go, Pixonic. Good job making rewards dependent on wins when you haven't addressed the tanking and MM issues. yeah , that's how i felt ... it took all day ... I now have a gekko to stick on the shelf next to the one I got in the last event The destroy task went quickly tho' - so I have a leo with a dubious paint job now i am on to beacon tasks I am surrounded by stalkers , cossacks & gepards who don't expect to make it through the match... sheesh! Getting beacons is tough today but they will come win or lose Hi guys, for me kills and beacons are still feasible to do but as for wins is like forever especially when rest of ur team is thinkin otherwise

Alright, task list has officially gotten ridiculous. I have to kill 28 bots FIVE times -- 140 kills -- for a Nat with a paint job. I don't even WANT another Nat, but I gotta go through all this just to get to another challenge. Kinda just about given up on this event. So far, for spending tokens, I've gotten mostly ..... more tokens. Except a lot fewer tokens than what I spent for them. That's a bit of a load of horse?poo-poo?. Oh, and I got a painted Leo, a magnum and an Aphid, which I can't do squat with until I level them up, and even then I neither have nor want anything to use them on. For all the hours I played yesterday, this event has been a major bust so far. This event is great for new players say just in bronze as it allows the a decent kick start. However for most players there us literally nothing desirable in the list save ancille and orkan (for some, not even) besides the Tempest. That said the anniversary event was the ultimate start. Together with premium a new player that plays all the way to Rog could expect 1/2 the weapons of viable builds (most prized needed one more of the same) two excellent bots with a high skill ceiling. On top of that one could expect an easy 6-8K worth of gold enough for 5tg slot and a few weapons or rolled in 1K chests for a lot more. This current event pales in comparison Yeah i do agree. Actually the anniversary event was expected to be mich better than every other yearly event, so every event will pale compared to it. Is this event spectacular? No. Is this event useful for new players? Yes. Is thia event useful to older players? Always better than a kick in the nuts

Task 3 of Natasha. Thumb is hurting. Lucky I went to the dr and he prescribed anti imflamatories. Now back to the Tasha. That paint job is a must have. Stuff the tempests.

Getting beacons is tough today but they will come win or lose I just added the 4th gekko to my reserve hangar. the plan is to stuff a patton with 4 gekkos, and when i'm really really pissed off i will field it in my hangar. Tactic: shoot asynchronously the 4 gekkos by singly firing each one of them consecutively, and then hitting the main fire button so it keeps the cadence i chose. if everything will go as planned , at any given time there will be always one of the 4 gekkos hitting the target, for the max possible annoying factor. i will have to level them separately for more colored annoying factor

llama4president : Corrected my mistake with Natasha tasks (it was "kills" instead of "beacons") and added deadline, as it seems that event finishes on 24th, so no surprises here. So, if there would be no new inputs - picture is final!

Oh, and the treasure chests are a joke, too. Of the several 10-token spins I've taken, I'd say about 90% of them have been for -- wait for it -- ONE token.
It's clear that my real world PowerBall luck has followed me to my virtual world.

Your are getting free stuff for playing a game you most likely were going to play anyway. The odds are not in your favor for anything short of a Gold Chest, and unless you invest in enough spins to get a Superchest your chances are like the MM, 50% return on investment....

May have missed an event but the only event I have participated in was the one with the stalker and Raijin and I used gold to open chests. I would definitively say a stalker and a raijin are better then a leo and whatever the 2nd one is. Just my opinion. We just popped $20 and literally got nothing...oh well, worth the risk. Not getting another $20 out of me though. Also likely just gonna stop the event quest as well...just too frustrating. I like the setup of it quite a bit but too many win a battle tasks. I would rather they load it heavier on kills and beacons...sitting there watching 3 "teammates" just run for beacons when I need a win blows my mind. Just started tier 4 and already grumpy...lol I would guess my win percentage is somewhere around 25% which makes for a seriously long event. ahh...So not really fair of me to compare a super event to this one. Gotcha. I figured it had to be something as the value for this one just isn't there for me. I was lucky in that we were only in 2-3 weeks of playing when the bday event went off...we did very well on the main account and for that...Pixonic got my loot. I think we popped $40 on gold and was completely worth it. Here we popped $20 and literally got nothing useable in weapons or bots but got a little gold. The silver was kinda pointless as we will all have plenty simply by playing. My plan was to play solely on my 2nd account hoping I could repeat the value I got from the bday event but that has changed...will chase up to the win tasks and then switch over to main account and get the easy free stuff. Sorry Pixonic...you can get my money for your next bday...may even buy you a card as well.

As an example, SINGLE update for Orkan lvl8-9 would set you back on 5,400,000 - yeah, that's right, ONE level of upgrade is 5 millions. warrobots.wikia.com/wiki/OrkanAnd the situation is the same with any weapon\bot.

Go for spirals. A bargain at 3 m for the same upgrade.

Actually considering how cheap is to upgrade Light weapons, i equate a lvl 9 upgrade on a medium/heavy to a lvl 10 in light slot.

There is no Raijin inside the Gold chests? Or is it included on this event? But yeah I have no need of the Gepard. Already have 1 :D Maybe if it gets buffed in the future it will be nice bot. Not sure those numbers correct. I got a Raijin out of some chest (not sure I remember which one it was, actually)..
