Is there an official War Robots background that we will have to work around? One minute I see religious dictatorships (inquisitor bots) and then next I see it's a competitive sport.

moody It's why I needed to step away. The game is no fun vs D3+ with 6/6. Griffins are no fun in general. Every match, in both modes, feels like I have very little impact on the match, and then I find out I'm topping the charts against an average of 10/10 hangars. Going back to smurfing with my minamalist account. I must say I have had more fun with a low level account than I expected - and have gotten through leagues far faster than I expected. At this point I am making a difference in every match - but I can see that stopping very soon. I got the griffin and leo specifically to be competitive in competition but I'm not going to keep it that way. I'm working on a nash / molot golem and a thunder schultz in the background for example. If you hadn't heard, there are competitions based around 6/6 hangars - imposed hangar based matchmaking. Of course there are still ways to wrought it but it isn't as bad as the current standard matchmaker.

Really really difficult to find Tinthefiends posts as a deleted member Dredd77 Wanted to show what the state of play a few months on gets. 2 week old hangar, I am not an incredible player in my own opinion. I am going to take this to 6/6 and 5 slots and see how far it takes me. Very nice, (higher average than my 9/10 hangar), glad to see you still exist!

You can still buy more wsp with the gold from tasks than you could get froma wsp task.

I should mention that I've revived a really old thread here. This isn't current news. Well, don't I feel foolish. Still interesting to see the differences between then and now. Avg lvl back then 8, now closer to 10. Also, interesting that his matches back then were fairly even in Silver2. Not so much the case now but I figured he must have gotten some lucky MM. My Matches in Silver 2 are fairly even. I will say I am way underleveled at 6 and under compared to the average. But I keep getting first or second damage so I'm advancing regardless of win or loss. I am in challenge games and about to attain silver 1. Looking at my league of 100 people I am equal lowest level at 22 and perhaps half are at level 30. There are two other people also at level 22.

Just looking at numbers, my account and dredds account it doesn't add up.
Me - Silver 2 - 1551 league points. Dredd - Silver 1 - 1518 league points.
I might have to check to see if I'm at the end of challenge games into silver 1.

Good read as usual although the actual playerbase that Silver1 gets thrown in with is actually a bit higher in levels. Not sure how far you made it up Silver 1 or what your sample size was but the wall doesn't really get going til you are solidly around mid Silver1. Sorry to disappoint but if you are just low Silver1, you aint seen nothin yet. Which might help explain the trophies drop in S1. The noob smackdowns by lvl10 gear would really curtail player enthusiasm. I should mention that I've revived a really old thread here. This isn't current news.

I appreciate the vote of confidence! I'd have liked to have thought so too, but the tide appears to be turning. No, you really should be.

Some of us have already started this . There's a 6 pack (max level 6 bots & weapons) league started on Android. Even has tournaments. Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹ is the founding creator of this awesomeness. There's people just playing for fun too outside the tournaments. It's a nice break away from the regular grind. How does a guy get involved in this? Sounds cool.. It's on discord discord.gg/8TQuKM

I'm running a second account in android silver 3 with about 52 victories.
I have not played enough games to be ahead enough on silver that I can just upgrade for a while. I am barely keeping ahead of the current upgrade and ended up getting a boa rather than a leo because it was a lot cheaper.
I am running a golem, a boa, a destrier and a schutze and doing ok. but I'm generally against leos and griffins a good level or two above me.
Just jump in and try to keep your head above water.

I'm surprised that you're 10/11 and still in diamond II?
I have noticed that unfair matches are rare unless there is a full or near full squad on one side or the other. Even where there are champions in the reds, there is usually an equivalent champion in the blues.

I've been wanting to have a powerhouse Punisher Griffin loadout for some time now, just that I don't wanna pour resources into building that just yet. They are effective as hell especially with the shield multiplier.. Whenever I see teammates with punisher griffins I'm like.. Wow... Whenever I see a punisher griffin coming at me I'm like.. ?firetruck?... There must be a special trick to using the bullet hose Griff (all Punishers) effectively. I thought the same thing as you stated, since one of my clanmates just tears s**t up with his. I got all my guns to 11, but everytime I put the bullet hose in the game, I'm underwhelmed and immediately switch it out. Seems like it takes too much time to do lethal damage, all the while the Griff is (usually) exposed. Seems like a PDB Griff would do more damage, although Puns do shred physical shields must faster. Maybe the key is getting all guns to 12; maybe that extra level on each gun makes a big difference. Aside: I've tried a Pun - Tempest Lance (Tempest L9) but again, didn't think it did enough damage to the oppo while my Lance is exposed. I also tried L11 Puns on the Ancilot, but quickly go back to Tarans. I agree with this. I leveled up a set of punishers equal to the rest of my hangar (level 10) and I just can not get the hang of them. DB, plasma both more deadly, rdb more deadly at range. This isn't to say that I haven't done some good things with them from time to time, they are just not a consistent performer for me so they are languishing - which is pretty horrible for a month worth of upgrade time and silver.

I actually agree.
90% of my battles are great.
10% feels like gepard seal clubbing a year ago.
6 weeks ago I was a lot closer to 100% It is seriously just dash that has changed that 10%.
I think that If I wasn't involved with multiple forums and chat boards that I would be perfectly happy with the current situation - while still thinking that the new bots are both over-priced and over powerful.

I sold all my components, it's my decision. I have 8000 au and I wish buy doc for fun, but in maestro ligue...i doubt. It is now more HP, lv 12 170k, 4 Orleans, but I must to wait to new update ? To wait to new components source? Pixonic does not speak very clear about. Do they in the near future change AU to components? Great that you have 8000 au, but you can only buy a Doc with Influence. Not gold. You can buy influence with gold (just like in real life).

you're in LQ since you always skip map that you didn't like. but since you're paid player, you have chance in getting out of LQ by emailing pixonic together with your transaction proof. if not, then you have to play normally without leaving any map.. only after certain amount of games, you'll get back to Normal Queue. I have never heard of a paid player having an easier chance of getting out of LQ than a non paying player?

So I've been just stockpiling gold for months now, not really having anything to spend it on because I've been more or less happy with my hanger and gold can be a bit hard to come by overall so I've been overly cautious about what to buy. I have 6449 gold (and 12,000 WSP if that counts for anything these days lol), and my hanger looks like this (all bots are lv 8 w/lv 9 weapons for the most part). Fujin with 3 Tulumbas. I virtually always start the match out with this one Griffin with Tulumbas and Pins Rhino with Tarans and Pinatas (Though I frequently switch weapon loudouts on this guy) Lancelot with Orkans and a Thunder Twin Thunder Carnage I also have a Galahad that was a fixture for a loooong time until he got benched in favor of the Fujin, as well as a Patton with Aphids that's seen some service. So knowing all this, what do you think I could spend my Au/WSP on? Or should I just keep greedily hoarding it? Lol I think a lot of people have ended up in this predicament. I ended up buying a second lance a couple of weeks ago. Still have 7000au burning a hole in my pocket. I have all the bots pre-dash. 7 orkans, 3 zeus, 5 gekko, 5 aphid.

Aside from where would you put it, I think a doc with 6 mediums would be ridiculously overpowered. Having the hit of a fujin or dash twice. I was talking about five. Nobody in their right mind would say the Doc is OP right now, I don't think the addition of a medium would be too much. The Doc would be a dangerous robot but not OP. Can still go down very fast as it has no special ability (Dash, Ancile...) Anyway will not happen. Plus that would be strange to have one salvo of 3 and one of 2, and I agree that two salvo of 3 may become too much. I use a lev 9 doc with lev 10/11 orks from time to time - haven't actually used it since the recent health buff. The super salvo give it a place in the lineup - nothing can put out that much hurt. Yes you have to play it very carefully but it's a ridiculously well armed bot.

If pix wanted to make a killing, they should ancile the ww bots. They would compete with dashers and what's to come-and folks would buy the hell out of them While what you say is true, I think there is enough of Anciles in the game. Plus we could argue that Jesse would need it more than the other two.
If you really want to bring back Jesse into the game, I'd say give him six lights. If you compare to the Patton, 2*3 is not that much more than the 4 slots (because of the cooldown), but that would still be enough to be a dangerous robot if ignored by the enemy. Doc could use five mediums as well, that would not be shocking at all.
Besides, those robots would have been perfect to be bought by gold. Like 1'250 for Jesse, 2'500 for Doc and 5'000 for Butch (like the britbots). Not sure why Pix didn't do that, bad decision IMO.

I can suggest one other option. Similar to 1/1. 1/5. Entry lev bots and entry level for several different weapons.
Like 1/1 very easy to put an instant hangar together.

The argument here seems to be 'long term picture' vs. 'live for the now'.
Gary won't survive past about gold - that's a fact. I take my level 10 out for light bot tasks, but for the games I am using it I am generally losing league points.
It was marvelous once - but it's dead (and galahad is even deader). please leave it buried.
(that said, I took out a punisher galahad a few days back and it did surprisingly well.)

Fair enough. As long as you are enjoying the game and not hurting the experience for others. Until the recent reshuffle of points I was in Expert. I was so busy capping beacons I lost 200 points before I figured out what was going on. No wonder beacons don't mean much these days. The black market nonsense has firetrucked the game, so damage it is, I guess. I'm treading water in Expert 3 as I also keep trying to win games and disregard damage.

As I think about it. Discord room to gather the troops at a certain time. Send the game invites and have a good time while on comms. The wiki clan has a discord room collecting dust. I have heard of this fabled wiki discord once. Was it only for IOS or were android invited as well? Of course, everyone who is anyone is on line.
