PIX keeps on losing player base... So they have to merge the two biggest player bases in IOS and ANDROID, they really have no other choice..
The MM has been doing worse, because there is less and less of a player base available, as people get frustrated over the direction of the game and it trying very hard to steer whats left of its playerbase to buy into it with rm..
Going to be interesting when it is done.. But because I think it is a huge need for PIX right now, I think it will happen sooner than later..
I mean this has been talked about for as long as I have been playing the game and I came in in 2.6 right after the release of the britt bots..

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.
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. Maybe... I was just shooting in the dark... it would make sense IF this is happening soon. But it's all unconfirmed conjecture at this point. |

I want to keep Amazon War Robots seperate as its more fun than Android. With about the same level of hangar I get first places much of the time. I also dont get trampled as much by maxed munchkin bots.

I mean this has been talked about for as long as I have been playing the game and I came in in 2.6 right after the release of the britt bots.. k Yes, it is a circle. The process accelerates itself. The more unfair the matches the more people stop playing, the more people stop playing the smaller the playerbase is and matches become more unfair because of which more people leave and it goes on and on and on.
They'd not do something of this volume if they'd not want to support the game for years to come or if the numbers were so bad that they couldn't squeez out a couple more years out of the game while staying profitable. For once, player interest crosses Pixonic's interest. Making the game live as long as possible.
Better MM is a positive biproduct for us (might be, have to experience from first hand), but Pixonic does not care about MM, they are happy with it the way it is. They are merging platforms to slow down the circle instead of tweaking their algorithm to force more fair matchups, that tells a lot, therefore my expectations are very low regarding the positive effect of the merge.
The only thing I needed from the merge was to have cross platform accounts or to be able to move my iOS acc to Android, they said nothing about that in their merge announcement video. I was very disappointed with that, but moved on quickly and started a new account, that I don't regret at all. I miss my old stuff though, but fun is up.

this should be done. every game has cross platform and the world didn't end. it's a basic feature in games. they don't even cross off the basic. all they do is spend money on stupid monetization features then remove them, then make more. that's why the game goes nowhere after 5 years and looks so under developed.
can we get a squad joining that works. less lag. better management of inventory, etc. more stats. come on, every game has that basic 「dookie」

I'm very disappointed that steam and amazon won't be on common platform. Steam players would like to show the other three platforms what we can do with mouse and keyboard....   |

It was. It would have been less of a joke if War Robots was more of a game of speed and precise aiming, that's where m+k gives you real advantage. As in first person shooters, for example. But War Robots is more about timing, positioning and of course superior hardware so more precise controls are not giving you much advantage. Btw, by your standards the FB/ Steam could also be considered toughest because you also have whales and "free players with skills" and you get matched with them from gold/ silver league. |

I think the lag is because of pple like me playing from areas with bad lags. Lololol |

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? Biggest clue is they said the merger would happen “shortly” after next week’s update. Since Pixonic is a business, and their fiscal year gets broken down by quarter, it makes sense to launch the platform merger and drive revenue as close to FY 2020 as possible, or at least Q2-Q4. The fact that they’ve been very quiet on the topic tells me they still have a lot of work to do with rolling it out to the player base. So, my hunch is by end of Q1 latest, which is March 31st. Hopefully Feb. |

How do you know War Robots has been losing player base? From any kind of hard numbers or just personal feeling? I agree with you that they have no choice but to merge. However, the reason for it might be because with their power stretch the user base would have keep growing exponentially. Quite possibly the user base is growing but still cannot keep up with the power disparity. |

Quite possibly the user base is growing but still cannot keep up with the power disparity. Probably from all the low masters and expert players showing up in Champion league games. Telltale that player base is worse than before. |

How do you know War Robots has been losing player base? From any kind of hard numbers or just personal feeling? Simple .. I have been in Masters League for a year or so and midnight matches a year ago, 3-4 seconds, mostly Masters League and Champions League players... Now it can be over a minute waiting, and many times you are mixed with S clans to Diamond.. MM seems to be dredging up who ever is on.. Lately diamond players getting mixed in makes no sense, I would rather it be 4 on 4 if you cannot find the players.. Diamonds just get slaughtered and I am sure it is no fun for them, nor is it fun for me to get put in matches against maxed out S clan players.. When the MM is struggling that much to put together matches in the late night, there seems to be much less of a player base.. Personally I think this game saw its peak over a year ago, and it has been slipping in popularity since.. That from how hard it is advertising as of late.. Seeing the ad's on YT a lot, also on FB, never saw War Robots Ad's in my FB feed before.. Listen, I still play the game, so I like the game.. not a big fan on some of the changes.. But I do like the fact that PIX is still working hard on the game whether I like the direction or not.. Cheers.. |

Android death squads can now fight iOS death squads (and leave the rest of us out of it) The death squads work for Pix (and not just work for free, they pay Pix for the privilege) to show the rest of us what paying to win does in this game. They have a job to do, no chance of Pix allowing them to leave the rest of us out of it. |

PIX keeps on losing player base... Always relevent: steamcharts.com/app/767560#AllA bit over a year ago Pix "improved" (they did mostly look great, that has to be said) the graphics, making the game unplayable for half of the player base. This is why there is the dip from 687 to 350 in one month (end of November - end of December 2018). Then they reverted it a month later, and remarkably the player base has recovered to fall 2018 level, slowly but steadily. Note that this shows only the Steam side, FBGR plays on same servers. Not sure how things are on mobiles, that would be an interesting chart. |
