Hover = 10,000 components Storm = 10,000 components
Gold is worthless once you have 5 slots and a couple of Au bots. WSP is even more worthless, silver is more important for upgrading.
BTW, for what it's worth, Hover is ~$50, Storm is ~$13, depending on currency and taxes

You can buy components for gold. So it is just nearly worthless. Of course, you can buy them up to 10k only for selected items (Scourge/Tempest), because some offers magically disappear once you reach certain thresholds. But you can get a Tempest of Scourge for gold nevertheless.
Oh, forgot. If you win 30 battles and get 10 gold in each of them, you can shave 1 day off your 600 days that it takes to get your hangar to Mk2.

Aren't Hangar Decks going to be purchased with gold? Also for a lot of newer and mid-range players gold is still essential ? I'm 120 Au away from my 5th slot, no Orkans yet (I want 4...) and no Rogs (I want 2) and no Gareth (I want 1) --> I'm guessing this will take a while ?

And the second hangar too. So, not totally useless. And besides, can one ever have too many orkans?

Gold can buy WSP = generally better deals than pure Au on the components
And if really bored, Gold can buy skins

Looks like RL money costs for Hover and Storm are fairly reasonable. $62 CAD for Hover, and $16 for Storm. I gotta be honest. I'm tempted. I like the idea of having an all jumping hangar. I have 3 Rogs and a pair of Griffins I rarely use. But with a Hover's speed, I can shelve the Griffins permanently and build a DB hover quite easily.

They only seem reasonable after the stratospheric prices of DIESS. I'm pretty sure PigSty planned it that way. Those people are diabolical geniuses.

When I started the game, the Lancelot and Fury BOTH seemed unreasonably priced. It's new gear. You can't have it priced for free or for same as the old stuff. And it's reasonable compared to the dash bots and the Inquisitor. Plus, with the Hover so balanced, there's very little chance it'll get nerfed any time soon, and it might even get a buff to encourage people to get it.

If you truly have everything you need from Gold, there are other ways to spend it. -speed up upgrades -convert to WSP for WSP offers -promote weaponry to Mk2 -shove it up your 「bum-bum」 -Blow it all in the Battle Royale spinner to finish off a Components deal that is worthwhile (ex. Shocktrain, Haechi, Ember) -Buy a snazzy new paintjob for your favorite robot (unless your favorite bot has no paint job, to which I say, get to work Pixonic!) -stare at it.

Gold is not worthless. Gold is valuable for trading in for WSP so you can buy components. That's the value for gold. Strange how not so short time ago I thought WSP was worthless. Now it's valuable to me again after the daily deals.
Of course this is all silly of Pix. They instead should have just made the new bots have a gold or WSP value, or combination value, to save us from this. If the master plan is to one day only have components then ok I understand it then. But if the plan is to keep having all these currencies forever then it's stupid.

Gold and WSP is what you buy components with. Before, both became worthless after a while (when everything you wanted to upgrade was bought). Now they will have value much longer. At achievable 2000 Au and 20k WSP per month rate, War Robots will be shut down before you get a full Dash-Shocktrain hangar as F2P.

I would also add that to me The royale spin is just a way to trade au for premium.

4 tarancilots+ zeus fury aint worthless. Boring, yes. I got your point and agree, if one has it all, now its time to pay for new stuff. Still, i think a new player can still go free/cheap, if she does smart choices. This, speaking of beeing competitive. If its yust for fun, well, there are so many otions.

Whether or not the prices for the Hover and Storm are reasonable is subjective. Personally, I'm not paying for them, but then again I haven't spent anything on this game since 2.6.

So I'm in diamond, with a 8-9 Hangar. I'm silver limited. So speeding up upgrades is a non-starter. The very fact were discussing converting gold to another currency reinforces that it's currently worthless. After I get a few things to 12i might consider MK2, maybe. That's a long time away though. Bake royal is a good sink that again translates gold to another currency at a very poor conversion rate - I have taken the premium a couple of times, but since you can get both premiums for less than 30au typically, it's not really a use for gold. I already have all the paint jobs I want. So yes, maybe it's worth something to some people, for me it's another pointless currency.

I find TONS of value still in Au. It is the currency I am in most need of. My goal in the game is to have one of every bot and four of every weapon all at level 9 so I can literally configure any setup imaginable. I don’t even have a Brit Bot yet and am in constant need of Au.
WSP and Ag are no problem for me. Never have been and never will be.
Now for someone who is in Champ league, I could definitely see it losing its valu cause only a handful of bots can be used to compete there.

Au is very valuable to me. I just bought 6k with RM. -component offers -speed up upgrades -(maybe) buy a second Lance
I'm in Android Expert I with a level 9/10/11 hangar and still not Silver limited, I guess a reasonable amount of activity and Premium helps here. So my upgrades are limited by time.

That last point might have been intended by you as a joke or sarcasm but I really enjoy watching my gold and silver accumulate. Before the Halloween event came, I had exceeded 12k gold and I didn't (and still don't) own the 5th slot, a Rogatka or even a single Orkan. Even though I knew I needed these, I just enjoyed hoarding gold too much. Of course, I spent almost all that and most of my WSP on the Haechi offers but I regret it. Watching gold grow is so much fun. There's something about self-restraint that's really rewarding and empowering.

Good to hear because with the 3.4 update AU is reduced in value yet further. So I have a good amount of Brit Bots and a Rogatka and all the gold weapons I really care to have. Maybe use it for paint jobs in the future. BTW are paint jobs a one off I assume they are?
BUT now with the ads you can reduce the upgrades by 20M per ad and you get 3 free a day and 1 after every combat so it reduces the upgrade time significantly if you play a lot. If you don't well then it's pretty much the same but in that case it doesn't sound like you're spending AU on upgrades either.
I had built up over $15K in AU in a foolish hope that maybe, just MAYBE, Pix would offer a new AU bot. Now it's just oh yeah lets just upgrade that with AU rather than wait 5+ days.
Anyway I agree pretty much the value of AU is decidedly lower. Hold and hoard if you enjoy that its about as much value as doing the same with newspapers these days. Just IMHO. Happy Hunting.

That was the best time to spend Au for upgrades for bang for buck. My silver piles up faster than I can spend it, so upgrading 1 Ancile and 4 medium weapons shaved off 22 days of time.

I don't think gold is dead. still very valuable. But it has been devalued by, discounts, in game inflation and alternate currencies.

Of course, you can buy them up to 10k only for selected items (Scourge/Tempest), because some offers magically disappear once you reach certain thresholds. But you can get a Tempest of Scourge for gold nevertheless. Not true i had a losing streak with many missing offers, mostly for the offers i hold most components but i got offers for everything last days progress slows down but you can get what you want

I'm confused. Don't you just save up 30k gold and then get the dash from the battle royale? Probably less due to getting some of the componets while getting the 30k gold if you are mostly free to play.
