Heard a rumor that the iOS and Android platforms are merging soon after this update... saw it on Reddit too... anyone else here that?
Possible theory: Think the lag so many have experienced lately is because they had everyone on as few servers as possible while they got the rest ready? Hopefully it won't get worse...
I do want the merger though... hopefully better MM.

Pros: Better MM Android death squads can now fight iOS death squads (and leave the rest of us out of it) The Manni v Adrian "who's the better player" debate can be settled with a showdown Smaller platforms get consistent ads Cons: iOS has to deal with Android cheaters/hackers Smaller platform players get hanger shock with all the skilled/high level hangers in Champions League

You heard what I heard--believe that was from a Dev livestream and some YT'ers. Could be circular reporting. They've been saying platform merger for the last 2 years, but it seems like it will really happen sometime in 2020.

From what I've read, Steam, FB and Amazon aren't included but haven't heard much lately. I'm also wondering how "soon" this will happen. The platform merger is kind of a big deal for the game and I'm sure Pixonic will want to properly socialize it. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing it'll include the new Factory map. Thinking by March.

The Manni v Adrian "who's the better player" debate can be settled with a showdown Adrians Battle Rec account is on Android so that debate could be settled now, especially since Manni only plays his BR account

What makes you specifically say March? Curious if they gave a general time frame, you estimate based off of past update cycles, or a random guess?

I hope it happens soon. Be nice to play against some of the players I used to 3 years ago on iOS.
If they are still around that is
If not, then a whole new group is fine too.

The rumor I heard was THIS update... I agree that I would have expected more fanfare if that was the case... which was why I posted the thread... maybe we can get a confirm on that? Someone? Hint hint Ⓑⓞⓑ Ⓓⓨⓛⓐⓝ

I play on android mobile phone and been dealing with those running emulator. But rarely facing cheaters or hackers. Is this kind of early reason if iOS players unable to compete with maxed high skill players of android?

Pixonic has built in keyboard controls directly into the War Robots to accomodate that.

Oooooo...... Does this mean that I can finally kill you and you can finally kill me At the very least... maybe even some squads if the game's MM improves enough for me to play more and get in Champions League... I've decided to focus on some decent gear for a bit instead of anything and everything to 9-10... although it won't be super META awesomeness... it'll at least be competitive... I'm game if you are!

As a veteran of many âbig-dealâ rollouts and mergers, I must say I am NOT looking forward to the merge.
Experience proves that even when âwell prepared and well-handledâ moves like this can destroy a business entirely - even when the business *isn't* based on live-action data-streaming.
Sometimes, making a salesmanâs lies come true is the worst possible outcome. Part of the problem is that salesmen and not programmers run shops like this, and that situation has a very bad habit of not listening to the coders when they say âBAD IDEA!â
Since my basic impression of the situation at Pix is of a bunch of big-talkers with money connections who canât code 「dookie」, I am sadly anticipate a disaster. If they have the non-programmerâs typical sense of invulnerability, loss of pilot/hangar/equipment data is practically inevitable.
Iâm prepared for the game to be unplayable (more than it is now, yes) for an extended period; depending on how lucky/prepared they are, it could well be the end of the game. Theyâre supposed to MAKE money, after all.

Yeah, about that merger - So, on facebook I kept seeing all these memes of Android players beating up iOS players. The following is the only thing Ive seen as a rebuttal to these memes from iOS players. The following is Android players preparing for the merger with iOS

("when more people show up at this party, it is bound to become a disaster!" aka, iOS + Android) cmoooooon. It will be fun! sure it might have hiccups, but what is life without a bit of variety... and hiccups!? hehe

I have a LOT of crap that I just haven't sold yet or that are collection items) might be a worthy endeavor to take prior to this happening... just in case your worst case scenario occurs.

Am on amazon. New acct, strongest bit is l7 gary with l10 leadhose. Fighting mk2 leeches, ao jun, literally indestructabke phantoms, maxed specs etc etc. Every. Single. Game. Platform merge can't come fast enough! Skill can't win when they can kill you in 3s and it takes 5-6 full clips of leadhose to kill them! Fun fact: most new era heavy bots hal faster than l10 pun - pun-T combo can damage at 300 yards On the plus side - those occasions when you can kill a few princess bots in a basic Gary are epic.

That is the cause of the lag then huh. I am being spawn 10 sec into game, and experiencing seconds long lags in game lately. Almost unplayable.
