I know there is always work arounds.
That being said, IF Pix was at all interested, and I believe they are not, in eliminating tanking, then why are bots allowed to spawn with no weapons?
It was stated in a previous thread, Pix put a stop to being able to remove bots from hanger spaces, only replace them, "to prevent tankers" from spawning with only 1 platform per hanger deck.
I'm calling BS here! mark it!
Anyway, if not for tanking reasons, why would you spawn a Destrier naked?

I did it once not for tanking purposes but just to see who I get matched up. Used 5, Level 1 weaponless destriers. Still got matched with strong players.

Plenty of people are using a second, third or so on hangar with only one bot in it.
You might as well just accept that Pix want tanking in the game.

Just within the last day or so, I was playing my Smurf account and encountered a tanker on his/her way back up the food chain. They had three hangars: #1 had Mk II bots and weapons, #2 had a Smurf hangar consisting of misc. level 6 and 7 bots and weapons, #3 had one level 1 Cossack with a ?poo-poo? train. |

Yeah, it should really stop you from entering a match unless you have at least one slot filled.

I may be wrong, but I believe any account that is lower than your main account can be considered a "Smurf" account; one that is a mini account. I purposely limit my Smurf account to level 6 bots and weapons.

It allows them to go down the league. |

I don't understand how this would prevent tanking. Having weapons or not is irrelevant to the outcome :/
Correct me if not so

Less damage is done if you have less weapons equipped. (I think) |

Sorry if it offended you and made you talk this way to me , though I don't understand why . Best of luck first I was being factious . I was not offended. I also dont understand how this offends you. however I didnt mean any offence. second: your post didnt and still doesnt make any sense to me. I dont see how it applies to the main post. Maybe with a little more explanation you can tell me how your reply applies to players spawning with no weapons. thanks in advance. |

Less damage is done if you have less weapons equipped. (I think) What about self-control? Just because a player has weapons doesn't mean they have to fire them. I've seen maxed out players who don't even bother to load up on your typical weaponless all-Cossack hangar because the outcome is the same regardless. In fact, they can fire their weapons as much as they want to, as long as they aren't hitting their opponents. |

To tank using all Cossacks insures low (if any) dmg from you, for -22, and it provides minimal silver for red team, as silver is based on dmg, and you can only do so much dmg to a Cossack with low hp.

Anyway, if not for tanking reasons, why would you spawn a Destrier naked? having one bot in a hangar is called a “one bot challenge.” The goal is lasting the whole match with just one bot, while doing the most damage. Most of the time when I run my single bot hangar, I’m still doing more damage and grabbing more beacons than half my team. I’ve even gotten 10 gold using just one bot. That’s allowed, ditching your bots to lose is not allowed. As for spawning a destrier with no weapons. I’ve done it accidentally before, sometimes that to battle button is more alluring than remembering you forgot to add weapons to a bot, although it’s pretty clear when your hangar shows up. I’ll still run the bot if I notice it when I’m already in a map, it can still cap beacons and be a distraction. Ship happens. |

Why would pixonic state that I can run a one-bot challenge on their own website if I’m not allowed to? Granted, running the bot out to get killed is tanking, but lasting a whole match and doing 790k damage in one bot, that’s not tanking in my opinion. |

I’ve also still got a copy of pixonic website mentioning the one bot challenge, seems they took it down. I don’t know how to do a screenshot of it, but here’s my post on it my clan’s Facebook page. m.facebook.com/groups/150998345430092?view=permalink&id=288280178368574&ref=bookmarks |

Oh thank you!! I can die now a complete man! I have the answer!!! I was trying to help. It's a gamers name and I remember it ever since I first run into it back in the day . Sorry if it offended you and made you talk this way to me , though I don't understand why . Best of luck Please try to remember that not everyone is familiar with all the slang. I've never seen your term before either. It appeared to myself you were attempting to be humorous and I thought the same as RedRaider in a laughingly sarcastic way. Because at least part of that word means a male sex organ here. So please don't take offence. |

I see a lot of players with multiple hangers with one full and another with just one slot. I've even seen a player that had five one bot hangers. A definite whale as each slot was occupied by a single maxed out bot. Guess what kind of bots and weapons. Go ahead, just guess. You can probably imagine it. And yes for those curious, it appeared to be an asian player by the characters in their name and clan. I really wish I had screened that. I was just so damn mad about the loss they caused our team I shut off the game before I even thought about it. I keep hoping someone else will run across them in Android and post it.
But PIXONIC can't fix the tanking unless they actually move their granite 「multiple dookie delivery chute」 to do so. And that would require dynamite.
By letting players buy multiple hangers they just made tanking that much easier in the manner already mentioned. They can't force players to fill their extra hanger slots and they can't not allow them to use them. That whale I mentioned had apparently just opened an account and bought their extra hangers and equipment right off the bat. They were running in Silver last I saw. A 1 slot hanger buying another five 1 slot hangers. Either too much money or they had outside help.
These players won't get any extra slots in their extra hanger/s until they choose to acquire more slots in their first. And PIXONIC can't force them to do that either.
Tanking is PIXONIC's wallet opener, or so they believe. They will punish players for leaving maps/modes. They will punish players who self-destruct if reported and anyone there actually cares to check on it. Most of all they will punish players who refuse to spend money on their little fixed casino-carnival by repeatedly introducing them to the players that do as often and as lopsidedly as possible. Sure you can play for free. But be ready to get your 「bum-bum」 handed to you often enough to frustrate the money out of you.

Best of luck Thought I would reply to this after others had a chance to see the thread. My question was "what is a smirf account?" Your answer was "shlonglor" or whatever. That doesn't answer the question and neither did your smart ?bum-bum? reply. Troll somewhere else. You don't add to the conversation and you obviously are clueless to the matter at hand. This is a misunderstanding, so please let me explain. I remember a story about a player called Shlonglor. He along his team created new accounts using Smurf names and played with these profiles instead of their normal accounts. They did it because people where shutting down modems when they run into them cause they were very good and back then, when the connection was lost you were not credited with a loss. So the "smirf account" notion got his name from that player. That's what I was told back in the day and for some reason it registered in my memory. To be honest don't know if it holds it's just what I was told. You asked "what is a smirf account?" and so I replied shlonglor is the answer  I wasn't trolling nor wanted to play smart. I understand why you would perceive it as such , so please accept my apologies and let me clarify that the intend was the complete opposite of it; I was trying to add to the conversation and give as much info as I have on this issue. Thanks |
