Yeah, I was thinking if two squads were coordinated and could battle each other they could knock these tasks out fast. All the blues crowded on a beacon with all the reds just outside and every 10 seconds they switch places, running in and out for 3 beacons a minute for each side for each player. Could cap or liberate close to 30 beacons in a single 'battle'.
I've heard of squads fighting a specific other squad but it's hit or miss getting matched. When Pix allows choosing squad opponents they'll have to disable it for tasks like this.

Some guys were just sharing a beacon, while occasional players still were going for the kill, and from time to time bloodbath were happening for no apparent reason. Anyways, I have free weekend, and this event couldn't be timed better than this week, I am having a lot of fun :-D

I managed to get to the "grab the beacon" task along with the most population in our region... Springfield looked like gindergarden: ~8 stalker\cossack\gepard\destriers, all blue and red together, were running circles around beacons, and wasn't even trying to shoot each other. And a single Leo was trying to shoot somebody\anybody in this mess :-D And it seems to me that 90% of population playing these tasks knew that you can cap\recap\re-recap beacon, and it would count. So guys mostly were not trying to kill each other, just fooling around (because if you die - you need to run another bot from spawn, and it takes time). That was most surreal scene in War Robots so far for me. I'd leave that type of match. If you are grinding for the Anarchy Rog - you will still have A LOT of killing\winning to do, why struggle?

Or try to steal kills. I consciously target reds with the lowest health points for those tasks. I will even walk in front of teammates to block their shots and get kills. If thats true and your pulling that trick on people your a complete arsewipe! Seen enough of that kill steeling crap and barging in this event without some moron encouraging others to do it!

This is a dog-eat-dog game. They're forcing us to be competitive with our own teammates to complete tasks. I can't play 100+ matches per day, so I have to complete tasks by any means necessary. 99% of the players I play with/against have higher-level weapons than me... so I have to wait for my teammates to do most of the damage before I jump in to get kills. Yes, I'm upgrading my weapons from level 5 to level 6, but it's taking a long time as you already know.

These tasks ramp up fast.. Brutal! But the rewards and Ag are excellent. I'm def playing more now than I have in awhile. Me too. I just got the hydra. Oddly enough my win rate has also climbed to nearly 70. I hope the matchmaking system tanks me soon or I'll have a rough time for the later win match tasks.

I suggest that people who want the Rog concentrate fully on the tasks.
If you need 28 kills, don't bother with beacons unless there's a bot you can kill there or if it's on the way. Pick bots like db Griffins that can get you fast kills. Don't baby your bots, go in for the jugular. Aim for bots with low health. The moment you bot out, you get to start another game. So kill fast, die fast. Early game tend to have easy bots that die fast. If you need beacons, set your hangar up with fast bots and bots that can take defended beacons, don't bother with mid range bots. As is the same, don't baby your bots, every fresh game can get you 2-3 beacons easily. Ignore winning or losing.
Unfortunately, no easy way to get wins unless you go or plan to go into LQ. Anytime your team has more players with good bots, stay. Leave after a minute if team is bad. There's a chance there might be more ditchers on red and blue will win, getting you a free ditch win.

You don't have to be the star of the game, your team just has to actually win is all. We can expect to see a lot more stalkers, Garrys and Cossacks grabbing beacons. Yup, saw a lot of this tonight. I keep having games where the bottom couple of players are scoring less than 100k. They're grabbing a few quick beacons, then ditching the game to find a new one. At the start of each game there are at least three beacon runners (sometimes more), and they'll literally run over you to get to a beacon.

But with these tasks being so crazy, I wouldn't blame them if they were desperate enough...

The event task is getting so much harder and time consuming, need to play so many match to complete 1/60 task. I think I have complete 15-20% from getting Rogatka. Probably should just give up.

While free is always good, I think these tasks are way too hard. I'm going to when I have some free time sit down and calculate the amount of playtime required to win the Rogatka. However it would not surprise me if we are taking over 100 hours worth. Which considering we only have 17 odd days translates to about 5 hours per day. That is if we play legitimately without leaving.

Leaving games helps, though. I guess top tier tankers might have an easier time getting the Rog... but they probably don't need it. Arakos

Let's see, usual worker outputs 160 hours per month, you just need 150 hours per half a month. So you do your job for 8 hours a day, and play 16 hours a day, and there are 24 hours per day, so 16+8=24 means completely doable! Oh, and you have your weekends, too! So it might be possible to get Rog by the 12th of May.

Seems that it's going "win-destroy-capture" way, with number of tasks decreasing. So first it was five "win-win-win-win-win" in a row, now only 3 same task in a row. When this thing will get to single task in a row we will have done only 45 of them :\ What Pixonic demons have in mind?

May need a rest now. I had very bad game in a streak, average only 3-4 bots destroyed per match, 46 bots destroyed need around 13-15 game. The beacon is better on some map, I can average 5-6 beacon per match for 36 beacon.

Do we even know for sure if there is an anarchy rogatka in the end? Yes there is. Final task is hard, though. "Get 1'000 wins while being the top-damage player" Then you win the paint job, provided you already have the Rogatka of course.

I like it how the event has been going for 2 days and you guys are already complaining about not being able to finish.
Calm down guys. There is another 14 days left, which I am sure you will all be able to win the Rog if you play more than normal.
