Love the free Leech giveawaway

I agree...of late, I have killed many leeches, esp. with T Falcon......

Against my 9/10 hangar, any MK2 hangar melts me in seconds, so good for them. But, even MK2 leech can be erased.....but, there are usually a few other MK2 reds around a leech, which prevents me from staying alive to get it.

Only a fool, or cheater, will roll leech out by itself. It really is a needy little 「cotton headed ninny muggins」!

I'm probably one of the noob leaches out there, rather use my strider actually

I’m one! Mine is L7 now, I don’t have all the module specials, but *do* have Storms and Coronas.

Thing has a bite - really shows it off, too, when you can take the damage you get while showing off.

This damn thing being everywhere, learning to pilot one seems like the only way to discover its weak points - and thereby learn how to defeat it. It’s sobering to realize how deadly Spectre would be if It had DR...

Ghost Lancelot for the win! 

   I took out a stealthed Loki yesterday with my low level Leech. It felt soo good. 

It’s funny because most whales never drop their Titans so they don’t know what they’re capable of.  I’ve had so many Leeches with high level Last Stands run within 100m of my Arthur...

Ya know, rather than respond to your Leech question, I feel compelled to comment on the frequent bashing you do of players who pay. You are a “trusted contributor” here, and I am of the opinion that a person in such a role should find ways to support the variety of players in the game, not just f2p. This forum is full of f2p, AND players who pay different amounts of $ for game content. When forum members constantly trash talk players who spend money on this hobby, it creates disharmony. It is one thing to mention someone is a whale, but when we start making derogatory comments slandering people as ?kitty cats? and no-skill pay to win, it is not productive to the conversation or harmony of this forum. Please find ways to convey your message without including that type of slander or it just becomes yet another beat a dead horse rant to move to rants. Why can’tt people just respect there are people who pay for content and also have skills, and just play the game and have productive dialogue about gameplay? The whole subject gets exhausting.

Leech the must have in any L1 Museum.

The need for harmony is pretty consistently a paradigm that authority and privilege advance to avoid hearing criticism. The reason that "whales" and top Champs get criticized as much as they do is that yes, the gaming experience against them can truly get THAT frustrating and unpleasant. And since people usually game more than they post on the forum, that would mean they are the most inconvenienced out of the playerbase. Frankly that tends to show when new members join the forum because they tend to be all piss-and-vinegar ranting about the whales.

I know the whale criticism and how deragatory it can be, really gets to some folks. Folks that I like in the game and on the forum. And I sympathize, I really do. And the reason why I sympathize is I got to know them, usually through the forum. Before I joined this and got to know people I wouldn't really have cared. This forum is a mixer and that means hearing all types and letting them vent. In short DIS-harmony. But that's how we all get to know each other.

Point is, I'm not trying to dismiss people's feelings but harmony is a paradigm of domination and trying to dominate the game AND the discussion is too much against too many. F2P and low-pay players can be overly insulting and miss the mark in their criticisms. But top Champs can totally be oblivious to their problems (and oblivious to the level of their obliviousness). I have definitely seen a bunch of both by people who totally didn't realize it (and yes I am definitely on that list myself). Maybe we won't learn a dang thing from it but odds are higher that we will as long as we're talking.

In short, screw harmony, let's be real instead. I wouldn't want the Moderators and Trusted Contributers to only be made up of the least critical voices in the community. Seems like a recipe to shrink the appeal of the forum to most players, rather than expand it.

Thanks for sharing perspective. I think you misunderstand though. The moderators here value differences of opinion, the people?s’ right to express themselves, and having a place to commiserate. However, there is a line. It is not about domination here, it is about two things: respecting each other, and promoting a productive dialogue. Without that simple baseline, the forum becomes bogged down in excessive toxicity instead of valuable dialogue that enhances the game experience. Without mutual respect, certain people are made to feel unwelcome here or that they will constantly be attacked for their way of approaching the game. So in order to establish a culture of respect and productive dialogue, we are increasingly moving slander and anti-content anti-Pixonic anti-pay threads to Rants, where they belong. I will sign off with an example: if someone creates a thread calling people no-skill ?kitty cats? for using content that kills people from beyond the range of most weapons, we will move that to Rants; whereas if they were determined to discover countermeasures to the longer range weapons and share that, we would have productive dialogue befitting sections outside the Rant section. General Discussion and Tips & Advice is for productive game dialogue, not ranting or slandering other players; that’s what Rants is for.

This forum exists for the War Robots Community, not just f2p players, so it is everyone’s responsibility here to respect everyone in this community, including players who pay to enjoy game content.

Currently I am at level 69 so the odds are good that I will land this frozen Robot-Grade Oil Sucker.

? beholding my epicness. ??.  Gotta admit I’m a bit critical of players gear. When I see a dude with 5 maxed leeches with maxed pilots, and he has just a few thousand victories, that’s all I really have to know about his experience in this game. I know that I go against the grain more than most, and that def affects my perceptions of what others are doing.  To each his own, but I don’t identify.

IMO leeches are just the latest crutch bot on the scene, I don’t see any relation to my preference/affliction for 5 bot collections though, all my bots are FUN and challenging to drive, they require a lot of care and intensity to survive in the field. Leeches...nope. Any experienced pilot will excel in a leech, even lesser experienced guys will. I respect ability and skill, it’s almost impossible to display ability and skill in a leech IMO.

He's addressing not only him, but to everyone who trash talks about players who use real money in game.
