I don't mind who speaks with pix. Can I propose the following questions to be asked?
1. What is pixonic's goal RE tanking queue? Are people in the tanking queue be left there to do their own thing or are they be punished while in tanking queue? (e.g. No gold/silver payout, no league gain/loss)
2. Is the intention of the thanking queue still allowing players to drop their trophies? Has it been considered a player who wants to seal club can still do so by using the tanking queue as the channel?
3. Has pix considered giving out higher rewards per match (e.g. Gold / silver payout) for higher league players to increase higher hanger players's motivation to move up in league?
4. What's pixonic's vision of ideal match making? So we get an idea what they are trying to achieve.
5. Has pix considered reducing the match making bracket so e.g. Gold league won't see diamond league or even master league players? Do we have a big enough player base to achieve this?
6. Has pix considered while keeping the league system, but use another match making comparison base instead of damaged based? ( not going back to the old system if it's dodgy but change the comparison reference)
Following questions are related to map design.
7. Pix did mention that they don't like symmetrical map designs (maybe because they are boring?). But what's pix' principle in keeping an un-symmetrical map "fair"? So far I only know pix is using distance to Centre beacon.
8. Why the new moon map has two beacons very close to one another just like the power plant which is one of the complaints about power plant being unfair? Because of the ability to easily hold two beacons from one spawn area which is closer to it has an advantage.
Additional questions (optional) I know war robots is not the only game from pixonic. Does war robots has a dedicated team working on it? Or are the devs having to work on all the games published by pixonics?
How many devs/testers are involved in war robots?
What's the main difficulty in merging ios and android player base together? (we should be one community right?)
What's the average league of the members in the PXNC clan?
Does any of the management team member plays the game as well?

Pixo listening to us?? the players? .lool...they .are running out of ideas and are here to milk the cow, pretending to be interested in what the players have to say. Or you can consider this an opportunity to measure Pixoinics commitment to improving the game. If the right questions are asked and they are not properly addressed in the next major update then your position is more or less verified. Enjoying that feeling of being right. If the right questions are asked and are addressed in the next major update then you can go and enjoy the game. Either way you win. --- I think Kull can handle himself for this. From Heavypanda's previous posts I would have though he'd be a good choice for a "prominent" community member.

Pixo will never let us win. Even though we win, we still lose, and get screwed one way or the other. I've learned to not expect much from pixo and just go with the pixo way and "adapt"

I'd like to enter into the running to talk with Pixo. I think I can offer some i sight that many tend to overlook beyond just the battles that would help.. Draw you in so to say.

I give a big second for Super-Hero Hum, you might not be a bad choice either! I would be honored. I would focus on whatever priorities the community agrees on, for my own part, my input to Pix would be the following: Hangers/Match Maker
A classic hanger score based MM/Tier System with more careful attention paid to weighting & bracketing to allow new players & old players to experiment & to progress in a more predictable/static environment. It promotes more activity & replayability. Allowing players to revisit previous content at their leisure as a break from the more "grind" oriented later stages of progression is a well-established attraction with examples such as WOW & EVE. Also A League system much like it is now with the addition of a hanger based limit for each league. For example, if you are going to roll out a 6/6/6/6 Ancilot you're going to compete in silver minimum even if your average damage is 0. Your either a tanker, need to level your bot, or start smaller & build your skills. How the 2 Co-Exist Players can choose to que up for either type of match. Matches in the old style hanger league will pay less of everything (Silver, XP, Gold, Event Rewards) compared to matches in the league system. This will encourage pilots to participate in the league system for greater rewards & the gratification of competitive ranked gameplay. Pilots not desiring or who are not ready for that type of play can still progress their hanger slower in the less competitive old system. Performance in the hanger league will have no effect on your league rating/stats. An appropriate minimum player level & possibly hanger level will also help protect established competitive players from having to "carry" severely under geared teammates. What's in it for Players: Replayability/keeps old content fresh, varied paths of progression/gameplay, the ability to play with clanmates/friends regardless of their progression level, worthwhile to eventually buy & try everything. What's in it for Pixonic (The similarities are shocking!): Replayability/keeps old content fresh: Less pressure to provide newer more powerful content allowing further residual income from work that is already done. Varied paths of progression/gameplay: Will attract & keep a broad player base of casual & "hardcore" players, healthy business model. Ability to play with clanmates/friends: Players are more likely to introduce new players to the game if they do not have to wait for them to catch up. New players are more likely to stay if they can learn from more experienced friends. Worthwhile to Eventually Buy & Try Everything: Not only will this mean more revenue for pix in the long run but they can even market exclusive items only obtainable through high-level league play such as skins, extra hanger slots (see bellow), "Nick Names" for their bots and even Robots & Weapons only obtainable & usable in higher leagues such as Expert/Legend. I think the 2 Tier MM system is a good all around solution for both Pixonic & our very diverse player population. Extra Hanger Slots:
This has been discussed in the community already & I agree with those who feel that more than 5 active bots in a match will lead to too many full 10:00 matches with plenty of fight left in both teams. This is as unsatisfying as seeing a heavyweight boxing match decided by the judges. If extra "Meta-Hanger" slots could be purchased/earned they could be used to have additional pre-armed bots, allowing the player to choose which 5 to place in the "Active" hanger after they see which Map they have spawned on. This would encourage people to play all maps rather than skip the ones they are not optimized for. This would also provide further incentive to invest more time/money in the game. Squads:
Make it so you can change up your hanger without having to leave the squad. Not such a big deal when with your clan (can use clan chat) but for PUGs (pick up groups) it's difficult to co-ordinate the reinvite. If you could swap your hanger without losing your squad connection that would make things run much sooner. I would also recommend a ready check/ready up system that is common for squad based games & increasing the character limit for in-game chat/integrates facebook messenger. Everything Else:
I think the above is a lot to ask but would go a long way to making a solid base for the future growth & enjoyment of the game for existing & new players. Other matters such as rebalancing weapons/bots, health bars, stat visibility, new game modes, filters, in-built coms are definatly important but should be built upon a solid foundation.

I vote for shaolinrogue too. I don't think Ancilots are okay in Silver III-II league though. At least Gold III or Silver I.

Seriously though, as a newer member and not yet TT I really feel grateful & would hope whomever the group of individuals ends up being, we can come to a consensus as a community what priorities we would like to present to Pix.

Hope you guys get the answers your looking for. Also hope you get straight answers.
However, from gaming experience, I suspect 'looking into it', 'soon', 'it's on our to do list', and the classic, 'we're working on it' will feature heavily.

Just so long as they don't have a vested interest in the outcome. e.g. a youtuber.
They did that with Vega Conflict. Paul Preece and lackeys turned up, the Youtube guys interviewing him basically let him get away with any mediocre answer; as they were more interested in getting him to come back (more hits on their channel). End result, nothing changed.

End result, nothing changed.I I am a YouTuber, this is true. I do not do or plan to do live interviews. I make videos for players and more specifically the forum community. If this is seen as a conflict of interest by enough people to cause an issue than I hold no grudge in withdrawing. I'm simply a passionate player who wants to see the game not just survive, but thrive & evolve.

Be sure to leave a comment on what you would like me to talk to pixonic about the more you guys stress the more we can express it to the developors After the spots are filled we will likely debate on what priorities should be communicated to Pix. When the discussion takes place I'll make sure you get tagged in the thread so you can check it out.
