I'd say we're on average older players from late 20's into 40's. We even have a couple that are over 50. Surprisingly normal for this game - very few youngsters in it.

When you say you are in silver and even in private league there were mk2 players - these are tankers - people who are cheating the system for easy games. Once you reach diamond on PC you will see genuine champions as well as tankers. You can't complain about a genuine champion because they are not tanking - they are just unfairly matched against you.
I have two accounts on PC - one steam, one gameroom (They both use the same pool of players).
In the gameroom one that came first I was seriously grinding to upgrade and to go up leagues, I have mostly 7/8 and 7/9 and am in diamond league - but the games are virtually unplayable. 50% of the time I am facing genuine champion players and the other 50% I am the top dog in games of bronze and silver.
In gold with a limited hanger (my steam account) I more often get fair games where what I do given my skill level - rather than the level of my bots - can make a difference.

The thing is. Why are you grinding? I play PC, android and IOS. For PC the goldilocks zone is silver or gold with a low level hangar to match - the amount of effort needed to get to champion and be competitive is ridiculous, and you know what you do when you get there? Seal club lower level players. Android and ios there is a competitive reason to go to upper levels - PC it just isn't there. I use a 6/6 hangar on pc and almost entirely play custom games - you still get small amounts of silver coming in from tasks and chests.
I am not sure what you are calling "goldilocks zone". If you mean the gold league, I don't care about that. In fact, the leagues don't mean anything until you are above Diamond league. The last three are not matched with the others. And I could care less about Champion league. I am no where near that level of bots and gear.
You don't need to grind leagues to be able to level your gear. You need to grind silver to start the upgrades. The gold I did get was just used to help speed up the upgrades I did have. But I don't need that. It is the silver I need.
But I just got through playing for about 3 hours. Out of all of the matches I played, only 1 time did I make it above 4th place. But we were slaughtered, because I had the highest gear, and a Gi. Patton on the other team melted my Leo in you unload of 4 Pinatas. lol.
I am done with the grind. I don't mind grinding, as long as it isn't made a pointless waste of time. I am just going to start my upgrades, then log back in when they are done. When I run out of silver, I will probably just use what I get from the chest that reset after 3 hours.
If they just fix the matchmaking system, I would keep grinding. According to Steam, I already spent 73 hours on the game since the first of the month. (That's almost 10 days). So it isn't that I have a problem with grinding.
Razar.
Goldilocks zone comes from not to hot, not to cold, just right. The most competitive fun available on PC platform is in gold league if you don't over-level your equipment. You will find that on PC above diamond league there are very very few experts and masters - it's diamond then champion essentially and a huge chasm between. You seem to be talking as if I'm new to the game. I am not and know that you have to grind for silver - on pc however I have given that up - it is seriously not worth the effort only to be seal clubbed by champions.

We are presently running two times weekly. 1pm UTC on Saturday (9am Saturday morning EST) and 1am UTC Saturday (9pm Friday night EST). Please PM me about the best way to get involved as we are short on players - I would like to get a 2v2 comp running in the next few weeks and an actual full team comp as soon as we have enough teams to do it. I'm interested in playing, Saturday mornings are better but Ill try to remember Friday nights. I mostly play Android War Robots during the week, and doing 6 pack there too. Are you able to go on the 6 pack league or the Aurora Nova discords - they are the two places that 6 pack are organised?

I've been getting root weapon components or silver from Silver Chests. So either good or ?dookie? essentially. I rolled the gold chest a few times and got Avenger components when they were easy to get in workshop do I gave up on gold chests. They are all bad really.

War Robots is fun, yea. Though I am REALLY mad at the fact that they mix in the people who are not PTW with the people who are. I see Fujins everywhere please Pixonic just don’t mix the non PTWs with the PTWs. Fujins are not, nor have they ever been, pay to win.

I, really, only get bent at the pilots who "save their bots" off screen until there is only 2 minutes left on the battle....by then they're the only blue bot on the field and playing against 4-6 reds and getting killed in seconds.... repeatedly....by overwhelming firepower and accomplish nothing. Maybe...if they fought the whole battle and ran as a wingman to a teammate they might affect the battle in a positive way.... (But don't be like me.... I live up/down to my name and mech out way too fast half the time... I'm working on this though, and in another 10,000+ battles or so I may find the right balance) I no longer mech out every game like I once did. only took me 4800 victories.

The legs locking up is more common on pc due to only having 8 directions and more likely getting the exact opposite one to what you were doing. So a bug, but a known one that is a 'feature' The shaking is from getting hit by specific weapons. PC has such a low number of players that they can't get a proper matchmaker going - I would recommend DMing me and joining those of us that play 6/6 custom games on PC. The problem with custom games is that you don't get rewards. Those are what I need to lvl up bots and gear, as well as do the WS grind joke.
I started around the 1st of this month (I am on PC). I have made it to lvl 27 (I think). After unlocking the 4th hanger slot, I have been using all the gold I make to lvl bots and gear, just so I can do some damage. The highest weapons are lvl 7 (2 Punishers + 2 Punishers T). Everything else I am working on. But I end up getting put with players that have most of everything about to lvl 12, and a good bit they have MK2 bots and gear.
When matched with others of similar level of build that I have, I usually hit within the top 2. That means that I get keys and gold. While the way the matchmaking system is messed up, even on the losing side, with lowest DPS, I at least get 1 key that I can use as a chance to get some gold. But in custom, I don't even get that.
If they would give rewards for full 6v6 custom matches, then I would be trying to do those every chance I get.
With that said, I wouldn't mind getting into a few custom matches with you. But sadly, my main time needs to be spent grinding.
I know that they are not able to keep players as much as they used to. But putting players in teams that can seal club others is just dumb. I would be okay with doing matches with 3v3 if there are not enough players. I have been i plenty that were 6v5 or 6v4. And if not, then they can either lower higher DPS builds, or raise lower one just for the matches, to be more balanced.
I know this looks like a rant. Actually, it isn't. It is more of a frustration. Back when I was playing on Android, I could see the potential this game had. But till the developers move past their only focus being money, it will not come close to that potential.

Yes. Totally possible. Some pilots are just gifted. I had the honor/pleasure of having ivan7 in both my clans before he joined the elite ranks. He made Champions League with mostly Griffins until he grinded for dashes then spectres. Situational awareness like a freaking oracle. Lmao. Some pilots are just better. I think the time would be better served improving our own play rather than assuming others have reached their station by cheating or using other nefarious means. Just had to comment that I love the profile pic.

Gold isn't worth nearly as much anymore. Second hangar will largely depend on what league you are in and what you have to fill it. Speaking of gold ... What good is it now? I don't really use it for deals now. I'm getting to the point where the stuff I want isn't offered in the daily deals. I try not to use it to speed upgrades. I know you can use it to get a Worshop item you're close to completing but is there another use I'm missing? I use gold to buy a 15 minute ag booster before I play a couple of games.

Please remember my name on here. It is the same name in the game and if you don't fight...I will leave you one man down. No matter how many robots I have left! "BOONEBOY" So it is written, so it shall be. All you Loosers, take heed! The decision is yours: Loose a robot, or loose the whole dang Booneboy. Loosely speaking. Because real winners never loosen up, even a little bit! I am trying to figure out if you are making fun of the spelling or not. Lose - to not win. Loose, something that could be said about shoelaces.

Yes, you have dropped below the border to bronze and not earned enough over 5 games to go back up - doesn't matter that you won the last one of those 5 games.

An RDB and a Tullumbas griffin..... An RDB and an RDB ? Am I missing something? sorry for any confusion. I have 2 griffins in my main hanger: one with piñatas and orkans [Mk2 orkans], the other with tullumbas and pins on [Just level 12]. with the slight weakening of orkans and their lack of stealth, double jump, healing powers etc, their days are numbered, but I will shelve them with a little tear in my eye and my thanks...
Orkan pinata is a DB (not an RDB) Tulu and Pin is an RDB

Well, they would be proud to know that you've carried the torch back to the U.S. Love the Aussies, had the pleasure of partying with some, and dating some when I lived in Hawaii. Ok, then you can relate, amazing culture and sense of humor (I mean humour).
I'll never eat Vegemite again, fair dinkum.
Marmite (nz, not uk) is better

Why not integrate it into a bot - if you want the heavy shocktrain you need to have the limitations of a bot with no other benefit. Of course you would have to double the upgrade times.

HA! Just saw this! Cracked me tf up. HA! Just saw this! Cracked me tf up. LoL Sorry for the delay in reply, reality had me in clutches and I kinda just broke free for a bit. My phone system is Android 7.0 I have managed to get (some) battles in and am now Gold III: Hi Drone Unfortunately Android wiki is currently Diamond and up - and very very few of our members are lower than expert. Essentially you wouldn't have anyone who could squad with you. This may change in the future and we will keep people informed on this thread. I would recommend joining Aurora nova at that level - great group of people with a similar outlook to wiki - but able to take lower level people. PM me if you need a discord invite link.

Welcome back - are you staying? Nah. I will never play this game again. It was good while it lasted. I played CoC for 3 years prior to War Robots and haven't played that again either. All good was just wondering. A fair few only play custom games now - I'm at about 80% custom games. The actual mechanics are still fun if you don't play their game.

I stopped playing (and visiting forums and Aurora Nova Discord) because this game was too P2W. Ironic I thought I'd check back after 6 months and I was tagged in a necro'd thread about P2W. Welcome back - are you staying?
