I'm here today to rant about what is ruining the game for me. And I imagine there are probably other posts on the subject, but I feel it deserves to be brought to the forefront. The black market and the Lunar New Year would have you believe that what you get each time you participate is random and you can get anything you see when you spin the black market or tap a tile in LNY. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have seen the Black Market SPEED UP slightly to skip over a choice prize juat to wind up on a piddly bit of silver or a few keys. Less keys than the cost of a single spin! Call that a PRIZE do they? And the LNY is in no way random at all. The prize order is set and if you want the bot or weapon it dangles tantalizingly before you, you'll have to pay enough gold to redeem each and every tile. This is the most blatant and ludicrous "screw the player for all we can squeeze out of him" setup I've ever heard of and I for ine am through paying Pixonic one red cent. The game can be playes for free and from now on that's what I intend to do. Such is the price of greed, Pixon-ticks (blood sucking parasites).

The Random Mode isn't exactly random either. I got TDM 8 times out of 10!
I remember talking to some programmers once upon a time, and they said that from a code perspective, it's actually impossible to code for a random event.

9/10 for me. Yet never gotten 9/10 BR or 9/10 Dom. Hmmm, why does Fuxonic want us to TDM so badly?

I was thinking how idiotic the LNY beacon cap tasks are when you get TDM 5 times in a row. All it leads to is loads of self destructs at the start or kamikaze runs into battle.
The icing on the cake is TDM in the current version - the first time round it was a terrific brawler bash particularly in BR mode but the current iteration is just "hide your spydra bot behind a wall and shoot brawlers" - yawn.
It is ironic how the battle fields are decorated with gold dragons, glowing lanterns and the entire game is given a "Lunar New Year" theme yet the event is simply a Lunatic Year Old rehash of previous events.
That being said the gameplay is still good - I have been unavoidably tanking on beacon cap tasks so I have gone down to Diamond 1. There are a lot of Dashbots about but they are driven by people without thumbs so they are easy targets. It a strange contrast: the pure gameplay mechanics are great despite the absolute buffoonery of Pix's development team!

I don't hate TDM as much as I used to, but it's still the easiest way for people to tank. 1 tanker is an automatic 4 - 5 points to the other team. It's hard to come back from that.

Funny how they include desirable prizes in bronze chest but can never win them. Wiser to open a silver or gold chest to better your chances than what bronze chest has to offer.

Kolalabear: Agree with you 100%. Neither is the 'Random Battle Mode' anything but random. Took me 36 hours to complete one daily task of capping 13 (when did it climb to 13)?
because all I'm getting is TDM. Even today 8-10 matches are TDM. Fed up with it!!
