All: With the release of custom matches we now have the ability to create the games we want. I have sugested in the past "cossack fights" (vs the mods no less) and Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹ has started running level 6 and under games. What is lacking is a way for us to discover who is on line, who would like to play, under what conditions and rules. What we need to build is a system that lets us find and fight each other when we are available and willing. Before I go and build something need to get feedback from as many of you as possible (regardless of platform). Filing out the following survey will let me know if it is worth my time to build tools for us! goo.gl/forms/LtJ4JXsC1D1sZdmt2If there is anything that you would like to see, do let me know. Realize that I am limited to doing things external to the War Robots client (I will not hack the client to do this)! Lastly if your technical and are willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty or have the ability to provide infrastructure (server or database) I really want to hear from you, many hands make light work! |

For now people can come to the deplorables discord.
Things are sorting themselves out as we speak, as rock and I hammer out the details.

Thanks so much - you guys are the ones to set this up right. I’m not real technical, so I wouldn’t be of much help I'm sorry. I’m a lurker on the deplorables discord and you guys have a good thing going. I only wish more of you were on iOS. I’m sure I could learn some skills from you guys. I’m also in a European time zone, so you guys are online mostly when I’m going to bed. That just leaves me and Russel to get together and drown in the details lol. Filled out your survey. Thanks again for the initiative at this crazy time  |

Man level 6 and under (with no component Robots or Weapons allowed?) is my dream. Can we do this?
I'd happily give 100 bucks toward a level 6 and under tournament!

If you get something on iOS let me know. My guys are all about running some light bots or doing low level weps/bots battles.

Great Idea Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹! This is Awesome way to add some structure to Custom Match Maker! We ran some battles last night and it was Hella-Fun. Fill out the survey form so the league can get an idea of what pilots want play. Right now utilizing Level 6 to make it accessible for many. SoCal |

Oh boy I'm excited for custom matches, even more so I'm excited people are stepping up to cultivate these matches. Finally brings variety back to War Robots.
I'm iOS and don't know specifically the mechanics of building custom matches but I've been thinking about what I'd like to see and how to coordinate them publicly (ie non-clan).
1. I have lots of ideas for custom battles: only wsp bots, only wsp items, only jumping bots, only mediums, only energy weapons, only bots with their default store weaponry, only gold items, only 50kph+ bots, only this, only that; with more possible restrictions on top like no anciles, no missiles, no this, no that. I make up my own criterias and play solo because it's fun to figure out a hangar. I'm sure others have ideas all over the place too.
I think there should be a place where people can post their ideas for custom matches. There will be popular/common battle ideas, probably mirroring the old tiered MM, like only low level light bots. But I'd like to see a section where everyone posts their niche ideas, I'd check that every day, see what new little challenges are out there.
2. For the more unusual battles there will be less people interested or able to compete. To manifest such battles I think the person will have to include a time window for the matches. So they post their idea and time the following day to actually compete. This way people that are interested get a heads up and can indicate their intentions. Maybe even a time 2 or 3 days out. Or maybe no specific time at first and let those interested say when they could play and then a time gets coordinated from that. And popular ones could get regular weekly or even daily time windows in multiple time zones.
3. So now you have a custom criteria and interested players ready at the same time. How do you get the battle going? Again, not knowing the specific mechanics I'm guessing there's a single player that has to type in the player IDs of everyone else that wants to join.
I think all of this could be coordinated on these forums with a separate section for it, although it'd be clumsy. Someone starts a thread with their idea and time window. Then others can post their intention to play, and then at the designated time they can post their players IDs. So at that time the manager/captain can revisit their thread and enter those IDs to finally manifest the battle.
Hmm, thinking about it it might be better to private message the IDs to the captain so that unscrupulous persons have less chance to troll.
A site dedicated to coordinating such battles would be way better. I'd love to see a list of upcoming battles, sorted by time, with automatic timezone adjustments, with a convenient and safe way to show my interest and share my ID.
Also, I don't facebook. Is FB required for custom battles?

For those of you wishing for cross platform play, consider getting a Facebook account going. If there's enough interest we could pull that off as well. My stuff on Facebook is past 6, but I could retool things for a 6/6 or 5/5 league there.
Let me know.

Though Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹ has been running these on android, the tools I'm building will work for both. Your free to point any one you like at the survey, the more responses I get the better. I will probably push the survey to reddit tomorrow and then FB the day after, but I have no objection to it being shared beforehand. |

Great Idea Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹ ! Right now utilizing Level 6 to make it accessible for many. SoCal Accessibility is important, but the play at level 6 is much more measured and you have more time to show skill because you're robot doesn't die in 3 seconds. I completed the survey. My body is ready, and I want a tournament. |

I can suggest one other option. Similar to 1/1. 1/5. Entry lev bots and entry level for several different weapons.
Like 1/1 very easy to put an instant hangar together.

Because everyone wants a Thunder Schütze! I promise you that I will NOT build something so narrow as to limit this from being an option! I plan on writing very little in stone! |

Some other ideas that I want to test out: 1) Artillery only. Any bot, only Ancile, ECU, Noricum and Zenit allowed. 2) Nashorn only. Again, any bot, only ECU and Nashorn allowed. Maybe KangDae too, as it got less DPM. 3) Drunken orgy! You drink 20ml of vodka (gin\rum\tequila) for every bot YOU destroyed! The logic behind this - if you are playing good you must get handicapped by getting drunk. Video feed however required to show proof. And it must be live translation! 4) David vs Golath. One ANY 12\12 bot vs full team of 1\1 lights (or maybe 1\5 lights, because some weapons come at 5 5) Fortress assault! Double Ancile Raijin is the heart of the fortress, and by destroying it enemy wins. 6) Rick and Morty (Batman and Robin?) mode! You MUST have your sidekick (Ancile Schutze or ECU Cossack) nearby at all times, and when it is destroyed - you MUST eject your bot! Thunderkiss , zer00eyz I can try hosting some of that on iOS platform too, under your name ;) |

There has been some great response over on the discord channel. There is a text channel to log your ID# to help set up matches!
