Five tasks just for a wepon I have already 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 then five tommorow for a other wepon I have. So your talking having to fight in 25 battles with a light bot just for a magnum then tommorow I don't know what then the next day on and on. I can happily spend money daily but what is the point there saying they want design ideas for four new bots. I got to spend 1000 pounds just for Christmas presents for family and Christmas party etc do you think it's fair to charge nearly 90 pound just for parts no way ever. I am sick to death at the cost these greedy devs are charging. I've been on games that charge 12 pound for battle cruisers super frigates 1 month 1000 gold per day u know stuff that helps you grow. The past week the best reward I have had is 400 keys no bots no weapons no 2000 gold just 400 keys. I have over 600 freinds on facebook I recommend this game. Too I wish I did not. Lower the costs it's greed pure greed nearly 100 pound for rubbish your not interested in us poor who have family to support your just after cash I'm getting to a point were I'm ready to delete this greedy app and u know I'm soo bloody close

How about snow on the ground in some of the games besides Yama? Or am I being too reminiscent of BoT? They put Jack-o'-lanterns all over the place for the Halloween event. Why not Christmas lights and holly? Not even a Menorah to be seen. Shameful.

Agree, so many possibilities for creativity and humor, and so much Christmas fail on the part of Mail.ru.

It's complete greedy laziness!!!!! Frustrating as ?fluffy bunny?.
It's always been lazy ?bum-bum? operations from them. Why do you think we have the same EXACT task list event after event after event. They just insert different major prizes and let it rip, another event with a tad different graphics. With all that money they're making, you'd think someone would be forward thinking enough to hire people to make these events more interesting or at least sub contract someone in for each event....

Cash out while you can. |

If they come of course.

Do you know the cost of game development (programming, design, graphics, sound) in Russia? Considering how the game is free, it's unfair to expect something like that... The game clearly does not have enough paying players, so they have to cut costs and lay off people just to pay the bills. Or maybe the prices are just too low compared to the cost of producing content. So if you can, please please pay for a Mk2 DIESS hangar, preferably two. It's a pittance, and if we all just chip in, even just one grand (it doesn't buy a full DIESS hangar, but it gets a few good Mk2 bots, a bargain really), then maybe the game will again improve. |

In fairness, Pixo has put in a lot of development time to create revenue streams that generate revenue and reward players rather than treat them like an ATM machine. They've added new features like hangars and several new bots so i do not blame them for recycling skins this time. Anyone complaining is complaining b/c they already have the skin.

They could’ve put in different skinned bots like the fox Boa or phoenix Golem in place of the ones they already put out in the past...

Even if Pix is getting robbed and they only making a fraction of that mark-up, they would have the cash flow to hire a few new personnel to somewhat revise the format they had the time to do originally. I wouldn't be surprised if their management is taking home sickening bonuses this year compared to modest ones in previous years. |

New music, little spoopy decorations, subtle skulls in the ground, new Halloween skins that can be used year-round. They did an amazing job for Halloween IMO. Just wish the festivity would carry over to Christmas ;-; We would all be merry and tell ghost stories and Carol around the beacons rather than shooting each other... and anyone misbehave, Ole' Santa Lancy would blast em. |

Actually I am pretty sure 3.5 will have a Christmas theme. I mean, more than the Merry Christmas gambling scams.
So we can be grateful we have two weeks of no wonky theme... If we are really lucky, all the doomsaying above is actually correct, and we won't have any even then, but I doubt it...
I mean, the Monster Natasha is ugly, but the Mummy Leo is just horrible. The skins should change to something less... out of place, outside of Halloween.

I for one am getting tired of the events. I was having a lot of fun right up to the start of the event. I was winning more than I was losing and most of the games were intense and FUN. The last couple of days has been one losing streak after another. I FINALLY completed the stupid Magnum task! Wuhoo! Got another Magnum! Next one is for a Natasha. I've got 3 Nats now! I would sell them, but the skins they come with doesn't get me any more silver.
Just had a game that included 3 Chinese tankers who were squading. They steamrolled over the blues. If that wasn't bad enough, the blues weren't really doing anything but hanging out by the home beacon. I meched out in about 90 seconds flat!
So, I say, "bah humbug" to this Christmas event!

I get a free skinned Griffin that requires a moderate amount of time to grind for. Same for the Stalker. That's pretty much the highlight of this event for me.

I do admit that the events are same same but different.
For a game that players can play completely free, there is whole lot of whining going on.
That aside, more bots and weapons can be a good thing with the new Hanger decks. Still mega expensive though, but to have a brawler map deck and a open map deck, or a BR deck would be great.
I would have liked to see a hanger deck as a prize rather than a bot or weapon.
I am certainly not going to bring my levels above 9, so I will level up more different bots.
SOooo, I will play, grind, cap and win.
And get me a cool green Griffin. That I will have to level up...sigh
And don't forget, new players will think a shiny new Magnum is awesome!

I got the Aphid yesterday.
I am so glad FBGR is such a smurf fest even at Champions league. I mean, you get to Champs by playing enough. There are plenty of Silvers (and not ones who tanked, but new accounts with smart Ag hangars) who wipe the floor with half of those who have grinded themselves to Champs with non-effective hangars.
Anyway, my only annoyance is blue Kumis, who steal my precious beacons on beacon tasks. And I'll probably never have one.
Now I am tempted to grind all the way to the Orkan (because I could use one more, in case I ever get a Haechi), but... it's such a long way even at FBGR (and Amazon is the same I suppose).
Other random note: I saw a tanker! Someone in Silver with more wins than me and plenty of non-DIESS Mk2 gear (so not a whale, but a dolphin or something), and those permanent Champ trophies. I just can't figure out why (s)he tanked, that gear should give basically same results in Champs... Maybe (s)he got bored of still being clubbed by DIESS squads once in 10 games or something (IOW not an issue), but I don't know if Silver league is salvation from them at FBGR.

I have only been paying for 1 month and I am already Silver II Level 30 and have 1M silver. The game is becoming significantly less fun when you start to run into a player with a hanger of ULTRA EXPENSIVE bots and they level your entire team. IMO the game loses its appeal when you start running into these "star wars" bots. They actually look stupid with their rush capability and distract from the whole metal on metal fight until end then appeal. I make decent money but I cannot justify spending hundreds or even thousands on a hanger of top of the lines bots and weapons. Pixonic is TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH with creating a game for everyone. If they allowed you to sell bots that you paid with gold back to gold and allowed a fair exchange for silver to gold etc things would get better but I would NEVER recommend this game to someone unless they have money to burn.
