Seems I just can't play anymore. My irl schedule has become increasingly active as time goes on, and I figured I coulf at least play War Robots for a bit while winding down from the day. That's not the case. I tried, but it just wasn't happening. Dropped into TDM as my first two randos, and legit just didn't care. It wasn't even fun pushing a Zenicum natasha into crossfire.
I guess I've just accepted that Walking War Robots is never coming back, and that this game is definitely not Walking War Robots.
I'll be sticking around here when I'm actually short of things to do. A half hour on the forums, just reading, has more feeling to it than trying to pickup a match that isn't piss poor in game.
If I do actually ghost, it probably means I finally found a decent book.

Hey, maybe you will feel better when you don’t play this game anymore. If you really don’t like it than with time you wont even look back. I think that’s the nature of this scene. If you don’t want to play don’t force yourself to play. Makes no sense. Consider yourself Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Good luck tho and its nice that you will browse the forum from time to time.
Another old timer bites the dust. So many have gone quietly :-| ?

It's not even that I feel bad, I feel better than ever actually. It's just one of those things where what I signed up for is dead and gone.
All pix has accomplished in the last 6 months is creating a generation of players that will vouch for them with the temporary freebies they gave out when they launched their new resource chokes. There are so many people that can say "I've only been here 6 months and I have -insert meta/component items here-" to naysay any of the new dissent that may arise from their price gouging and dishonest practices.
No more than throwing out cookies to a selective bunch to keep the majority chasing the carrot. It's not the first, and won't be the last time this happens.
I vote for what I support with my resources, including time, and the current iteration of War Robots and Pixonic, just aren't worth any of that.

And yes I have noticed tons of newer players with all new stuff! The older players get shafted IMO. They are baiting in the newbs. |

And yes I have noticed tons of newer players with all new stuff! The older players get shafted IMO. They are baiting in the newbs. They're shafting the newbs too. Anyone that downloads and starts this game today has NOTHING compared to what those that were around for 3.4-3.7 had access to in terms of freebies. But, the nature of people tends to lean towards "That wasn't my experience, so your experience is invalid", so the people that have been around for a few months are going to take their chance to say things like "LOOK AT ME!!!1 IT'S NOT PAY TO WIN SEE?!?!?" And "Everyone has Inquisitor and Kumiho, they were easy to get!", not realizing that the griffins, leos, and other assorted AG/WP bots they're frying are people that didn't get, or will not get, those kinds of oppurtunities. It's why I can't take Adrian's youtube seriously. Is he a good player? I would hope so after 4 years. Does he have any idea what anything outside of the top leagues are like? Yea, no. Did he have 32B+ Ag and 30kish Au pre dash bots? Yep. The biggest thing I've had a problem with in the community and forums throughout my time here, is that people only see how the changes have affected them, and completely shut down any complaints by those the changes have hurt the most, scrubs and newbs. It happened when they first doubled the upgrade times and cut Ag: "Newbies can catch up to LV still and play with the big boys, thats fine, no worries" It happened when the MM swapped: "What do you know about War Robots silver league player, everything is great in D3+!!" Then it was "Expert 3+!!!" And now, everyone is shafted and the people that 「dookie」 on my opinion two years ago are quitting. Lovely stuff isn't it? |

I've come around to the opinion that War Robots is now just a testing area for Mail.ru to see what they can or can't get away with.
Take an established game and ruin it with multiple currencies, strangle holds on the f2p progress and see what people do; will they buy, will they quit, will they suck it up and keep on grinding? Change the game system to introduce greater levels of frustration that the previous mechanics, introduce overpowered bots and weapons that exacerbate the situation, introduce MKII to worsen it even further, then water down the ability to collect what you want through artificial blocking mechanisms; keys for pandom items (Pix + Random), tokens to present the illusion that you can get something you want through choice, but making it considerably difficult to do so, supply drops / honour rewards for the illusion of giving things away.
I guess this is their 'gathering data' scheme.

You know what you need? A griffin or inuisitor. The new carrier map offers a rare chance to relieve that frustration. Nothing soothes the soul like watching zenith-noricum natashas and the like dissapear beneath the waves after you walk up next to them and engage your jump drive. |

I need a game where pickup and play has a better chance than 1 in 40 of enjoying my free time. I need a game where the economy isn't as disparate as the US. Guess I need to stop playing videogames altogether. |

New players should really work out what to go for first though as it's time consuming to farm and build the right teams. |

New players should really work out what to go for first though as it's time consuming to farm and build the right teams. My 'free' time is compressed into short bursts, and will only get tighter once I start doing my own thing on top of work.(No one ever became wealthy working for someone else, ya know?) Even something as simple as fighting games have content walled behind more cash. I don't own any gaming systems, and the only PC I have is work only(I won't even come here on it). All that being said, grinding is out of the picture for any form of entertainment. Guess I'll have to go back to DMing lol |
