Just watched three ad (Why in the FORK can’t they find some new ads? Am tired of the Homestands/Fishdom/Township block!) and got ZERO reduction on my Rime upgrade.
What in the fork....

Why do you ruin your game experience by wathcing ads? If they make you complain, don't watch them.

One of my favorite personal War Robots-related rants is, how I can't stand ads, and how that is one reason why I don't play on Android at all, because their very existence just annoys me. If Pix made a way to just disable and hide the ads with the money they get from ads (not a lot...), I might be tempted to return there.

I just stated an upgrade and the 4 hour reduction worked just fine.

That happens every once in a while with all ad-based stuff - just a bug. If you leave the upgrade screen and then go back into it, you'll start getting credit again. At this point, I always check to make sure I get credited before running another ad so I don't waste more than one.

Iâve seen a few times where thereâs been a bit of a lag between when an ad ends and when the time gets taken of your upgrade or whatever. I donât think theyâre messing with it, their crap servers just canât keep up with even that simple task.
Now I do have an issue with the ever-increasing length of these things, the double ads (where you close out and it starts another 12-second segment), and the never-closers, where you hit the X square in the middle to close it and get taken to the App Store like 5 or 6 times in a row before the 「fluffernutter」ing thing finally closes.

Pix has the worst, scummiest ad provider. I play on an iPad where 95% of the time the close button does work, but some ads you have to be very accurate. However over the Christmas holiday I just took my phone and omg, like you said, every ad was near impossible to close. But occasionally on my iPad an ad will open Safari or App Store without any interaction. I’ve looked into how to disable this behavior and there is a way for AppStore at least but it also disables updating apps and would be too much of a hassle. Now there’s minute long ads with a ‘next’ button mid-way through to get it to proceed. I just quit War Robots when I see these. Every other game I’ve played that has ads, none of them had these scummy behaviors of opening other apps or having a tricky close button or minute long ads. I think we could get Pix to change provider by telling Pix how annoying the ads are and writing 1 star reviews and stating it’s because the ads are so scummy. In one of their monetizing strategy videos the presenter said their workforce was getting demoralized when they were getting a bunch of 1 star reviews for something which lowered the overall rating to mid 3 stars and it was important for them to correct this. They react to enough 1 star ratings, lets make it about scummy, white trash ads.

Currently deployed and working with lousy internet. Sometimes it lags so bad it shows I have a video when I don’t and I know I shouldn’t. Watch the add and no reduction.
Pix, masters of lag. My 2 cents but who knows

I hate the ads (especially as a paying customer) and all the Popups when the game loads.
