Where’s Wall-E Contest Returns!Back by popular demand, the Where’s Wall-E contest has kicked off! The weeklong contest sees [AurS]DPhill announce a certain bot/weapon combination, and then participants have to find one in-game and snap a screenshot of it for points. The top two finishers at the end of the event walk away with 500Au apiece! [AurS]DPhill last ran this contest in March and it was a tremendous success. Don’t miss your chance to participate! For more details, please visit the #ios_events and #android_events Discord channels!

Okay, for those of you not suffering from polling fatigue, I want to determine which War Robots bot is the Forum favorite! These will be quick snapshots- one a day then locked- so make sure you get your vote in!
We're now in the third round and closing on on the champion!
The criteria can be anything you want- it's YOUR vote. Strongest bot, fastest bot, bot with the cheerier disposition, whatever. We'll keep going until there's only one bot standing!
For extra fun, let us know why you voted the way you did!
Good luck to all bots!

In today's piece I take a look at the third-party availability of Gold, and what it means to buy it. Thanks for reading! I have spent much of my time playing in punk-rock bands and publishing zines and i can say that I truly thank you for your ethics of supporting the arts. Do they owe us a living...

Regarding the pricing of the wild west bots, or any items for that matter: if I have to make a decision on whether or not to spin, i would just assign my value to the items. For example, I don't have a jesse and having one would be nice. But even if it were priced at 1250 gold I still wouldn't buy it now. The most I would pay to buy a jesse is sth like 500. In that case I'll just assign 500 to the item. That would give an even better assessment of the EV (of the value to the user) of the spin outcomes. Also, I think there are 2 minor things your method does not account for. The first is the bankroll. If the player has less than 8000 gold and is never going to spend money, there is always some chance that he'd go below 1k gold before reaching the super chest, and thus not able to get the super chest value contributed by previous spins. The second is that values of items can change in one cycle. Let's say you don't have a Fury, and you are willing to buy it at full price so the value is 5k to you. But you'll never want to run a second one, so a second one would be worth 0. Now on the first spin the EV is X according to the values you assign to the items. If you get a Fury on the first spin, the EV of your second spin will be <X because the value of a Fury went from 5k to 0. If the EV is marginally positive before the first spin (which is my current case), it can easily go negative during the course of a cycle and net out negative overall. Just nitpicking tho. Thank you for the nice article. Always a joy to read. These are the kind of points that often go unnoticed, but they're really damned good. Ideally, if someone was super smart about this, they'd recalculate their EV after each roll. Most folks don't get that granular, so they get fifteen Gepards even if they come out ahead. If you want to get SUPER granular, though, we need to include the Ag values of surplus bots. And that's a whole lot deeper than I'm willing to go for a casual guidance column. Thanks for the feedback, bro.

I would go for another super chest. Not just because it gives wonderful prizes, but because it's fun also:) I got 2 butches, 1 doc, 1 jesse, 1 lancelot, 4 orkans, 5 aphids, 5 zeuses and several gekkos with only 3100 gold spending. The choise is yours. Haha, ye I love spinning the chest. Just worried I may not get lance/doc/jesse (bots I really need) If those are the only things you want/need out of there, then yeah, I'd buy a Lance

I have. I just want people's opinions as I am on the fence and need a push off it. Gotcha! I'd say calculate your personal EV (like I did in the second article), and if it's > 1000, go for it! If not, I'd pass.

Here's a funny thing about that- after awhile, it got to where you almost didn't want to win a bot or weapon, because it meant you weren't going to get a rebate. So there's no assurance there will be enough winnings to do it. Now that said, the EV on a Gold chest if everything you can win is good with you is +20%, so over a number of spins that works out pretty well. But your odds of losing value is 2 in 3 (ish), so the less you play, the more you're subject to risk. If it was me? I'd play once, and make a decision from there. The most you can lose without winning anything is "only" 500Au. Like the logic there, I think I'll give it a go. Thanks! Come back and tell us how it went!!!!!

Great stuff as usual! Any suggestions on minimal gold outlay? I've got 4K au and pretty sure it would not get me a supershet - do I pass on spinning the wheel unless I purchase (or earn) more? I'd wager that you'll get a superchest with that much if you keep spinning with your winnings.

You know how to start...but do you know when to stop? I break it down in today's By the Numbers feature- and address the concern of inflated Wild Bunch pricing's effect on the chests' value.

Everyone knows who will be the winner this time. That other bot does not even stand a chance. Can't even bring yourself to say its name, can you... #deadbotwalking #deadbotscuttling

and if the dash mk2 comes out it would be near useless. And if wishes were horses, I'd have a lot of horses. Then I'd sell em to the glue factory and get rich quick! Love this answer. Always been more of a cattleman myself...

The only weakness : it encourage camping. I can already imagine campers sniping from a beacon. For that to be viable, you'd need to do it on some specific beacons only, like the one usually located in the middle. THIS IS ME, INDRICOTHERIUM, DANG QUOTE BUG! Anything that helps my campers to camp in a useful spot is cool with me. And with the healing a small one time packet when flipped, what are the odds the camper is getting there first to flip it? Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from quoting other people without adding any content of your own.

Dredd77 , it definitely has potential. I'd like "just game" alone at the bottom. ...and what the hell, we'll try it, why not ? Had to get 2nd opinion from the misses.....smartest woman I ever met What, no "please?" Tell the smartest woman you ever met to teach you some manners. But here ya go. One for you and one for our mutual friend.

My next thought Dredd77 , is do we want to be the most hated clan on War Robots? I still hate the Flex clan because they were known clubbers back when I was getting clubbed Taking off my anti-exploit hat for just a moment, there's something to be said for your "overall neutral" position. Maybe that's your selling point, your differentiator: neutrality. Leave your moralizin' and sanctifyin' at the door, we're just here to blow up robots. You in? Tankers, clubbers, anti-tankers, anti-clubbers, whatever- if they're good team players, you've got a place for them, leave the petty squabbling to the armchair ethicists on the Wiki Forum. Here's a concept I threw together on that, based on elements of neutrality (Switzerland), flames (nitro), and a no-nonsense approach. Just a concept to illustrate, not an actual suggestion. I've obviously got no skin in the game, except I like you guys and I'd like to see you do well. But if I may say so, you guys could use a "brand" that sets you apart, much as we have in AN. Look at all the "Clan X is recruiting, come play with us!" The question anyone should ask themselves is, why? What makes Clan X different from any other clan. If someone could go to a dozen clans, why would they choose Nitro Squad?

........hmmmmmmm, I may have to weigh the potential pros and cons of that. It's really not something I feel comfortable with at first glance. What if Pix decided to actually punish tankers, what then? I have 4500au spent and 108 banned pilots ? No risk, no reward. And nerfing rewards is probably about as bad as it's gonna get

That's sort of what I mean- a clan FOR tanking, not a clan that became that, but was its founding principle. Fill a void! Imagine- NITRO SQUAD (Sabre) Nitro Juniors (Ms. Sabre) GAS TANK (Blastronaut) Nah, I'd just call my tanking clan Aurora Champions. Make sure you recruit "DREDD77"
