What for you is War Robot’s Golden Era?

That is not true.

Ah this is only iPhone data

I started around January/February last year, and I had no idea about leagues or ranks, and I just remember things changing very fast. I remember saving up Au for this amazing bot called a Gepard, and then being completely disappointed and disgusted because it was junk by the time I got it. I think I was so disgusted by that experience that I deleted the game and started over from scratch.

Once I started figuring out how things worked and got a ton of valuable information from right here in this forum, I got hooked. I was out of work at the time and was spending way too much time playing it. No money, though, because no paycheck coming in, so everything was obtained the hard way. There was also an event shortly after I started where I got a whole bunch of stuff that was pretty cool for a relative noob. I had my share of ups and downs, wasted a lot of time and silver upgrading stuff I never use any more, but it was all part of the learning. 

That's when it was good, even though I felt like I was constantly behind the curve. Yeah, the game still had its issues, especially with MM having major growing pains. But I really think that time is when the seeds were planted for the 「dookie」 show the game has turned into now. Everything they did around that time was laying the foundation for monetization first, and game play be damned. Just a few months after that they went totally off the deep end. 

Just before dash for me, though the ancile shield should have gotten a 35% nerf. Ancillot was OP

For me, the best time to play was right before Brit bots were introduced (when light bots and weapons were king) up until the introduction of leagues. I don't know why everyone complained so much about those days. Yes, back then mag geps were an op set-up, but at least it was affordable for rm, and easily attainable through grinding. If you wanted to "seal club" you had to do it with geps lvl 2 and weapons at 6,6,5 to stay in what was "bronze tier". Also if you stayed low lvl like that you didn't get yamantu, it wasn't available till "silver tier" (mag geps at 4/12).

It's funny how now everyone complains about tankers. One of the reasons the league system was created was to stop the mag gep terror, but instead it created tankers. But if the cheapest gold bot and wsp weapon in the game is the meta, where's the money in that?

I really miss Walking War Robots...

Before leagues came out was the golden era.

Before the new MM (leagues), regardless of the Gepard "problem" (I laugh when I think about that now). War Robots was super fun and beautifully free to play

Right after they changed pins/pinatas to Smart reloading

Mag Geps, Walking War Robots, hangar based MM, teirs, back before Brit Bots, was the best the game ever was, imo.

I really liked it when the Brits were released. I ran a pair of Lances, a pair of Galahads, and a Gary for a long time. Loved that hangar.

was that the time that their shields block all rocket damage and the backpedal thing? too bad I didn't get to see that.

I started to play War Robots around Christmas, 2016, and my favorite period of time is when proximal explosion was accidentally removed by the new patch. At that time, you could sidestep to avoid rockets completely, which made many light bots actually viable under the predominant RDB environment. Sadly they claimed it was a glitch and reversed it in next patch, made RDB dominate the battlefield again...
