It must be only non-forum players who have win rates over 50%. -Amid You know, normally you'd say correlation is not causation, but I'm strting to wonder...

well i'd tell you the same everyone told me when I only asked a question: Stop crying Shut up and play Is there no end to the complaints. Seems the self nominated board censors have decided you can only state what they like..... I'd take this opportunity to tell you that having a different opinion is a far cry from censoring...but I'd hate for you to think I'm censoring you.

... to be fair, it was your luck that let you down... you chose to spin, which is gambling, not a guaranteed double-your-money... :-) Examining the payout tables, there is a 64% chance that you will get something of lesser value than what you risked. Pixonic doesn't tell us that. That, my friend, is not simple bad luck. That is a corporation that wants your money. As opposed to...all those corporations out there that don't want your money?

I really wish Pixonic would stop trolling players with astronomical prices for sub par bots. This is just scamming people. Much like the non linear progression with the bar for the big price chests, the closer you get the more you need to progress. So, quick at first to lure players in and then when they have already committed, raise the bar drastically and scam loads of money out of them. It makes them seem kind if dishonest and seriously lowers the regard players have for them. If you don't like the price, don't pay it. Unless they're making false promises about the bots, it's nothing like a scam. The filling of the super chest bar, I do feel that's dishonest.

Not only am I pinning it, but gripe threads might start getting punted to Rants if they get too out of hand. Expectations are strongest when tempered with realism, folks.

Oh man please save your gold and do not buy a Doc. 7000 gold is a lancelot or fury with a nice start on a load out. A doc is a very sad little bot that can't kill much of anything, and maaan can it not take a punch. I levelled one to nine and after losing my mind trying to make it work, I threw it back in the hangar, grabbed a carnage with two thunders on it and sent some reds straight to heck. What were you running on the Doc?

I'm not convinced that they're high on the power level. Certainly not the Jesse or Doc. Even the Butch for those who have it isn't some unbeatable monster. More like collector's items.

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 second round! 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! Read more: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/5950/robot-rumble-round-doc-fujin?page=1#ixzz4fVPd4coM

There are other insiders such as Adrian and other famous youtubers. Not sure about the War Robots Player's Page though. Yeah, there are more Insiders through other avenues than there are through the Forum, I believe. So being a community contributor is another path to go, for sure.

No need to trash the forum on your way out. It's not trashing to say that I've read so many of the same types of posts that they are utterly predictable and not worth reading. I still help the noobs but find myself typing the same things over and over. All this while reading the same MM and glitch rants over and over and over again. While we are on the subject, it seems even Mrs. Golden Sabre wants me to stay on ( I think she uses me as an audio Cliff's notes of the forum)...so I will continue to type and read the same things #warrobotspurgatory Right? It doesn't take long to figure out that the 500th time you've throat-pumped Crusty the Sock, it's not quite as romantic as those early days were. What? Just me...?

</div>It is. We talked about this a little earlier in clan chat, it it crystallized for me that skipping is less the issue than system gaming is. I still don't like skippingl but if someone's not tailoring a hangar to a narrower map selection and just saying, "screw it, I'm not running across Springfield one more damn time tonight," that's a much less objectionable thing for me.

Man, I want one. I just can't do it. That is so much gold. I have the Tridents for it. It just looks very "wild west" with those cannons.... Maybe I'll risk some spins... Your chances of getting one on a gold chest are apparently 0.29%. I wish you luck, my friend.

Are any of you going to shell out that much Au for one of these? The Doc with Orkans or Tulumbas would be my preference, but for 7,000 Au? You can buy a Lance and a Fury for the price of Butch, and still have 4,000 Au left over. I have never tried these bots, but I have faced them all in battle and they weren't very difficult to take down. All the people in this forum who have tried them out seem to say they are not that great. Are they going to be rebuffed to make them worth the $? I'm getting a Butch.

The clan doesnt have an official stance at this point. Nitro has members on all side of the tankers debate. To be perfectly honest blastronaut contributes to the clan and squads frequently, he plays within the rules established by the developer. Ill opt not to share my thoughts on the topic to avoid derailing the thread however. Just out of curiosity, when you squad with a tanker and you're not a tanker, do you drop into a tanker queue or regular one?

We absolutely pass along things that we feel should be brought to their attention. Are you restricted in releasing what Pixonic responds with, regarding those problems? There are times we are told information that we've been asked not to disclose, yes.

I do not think as a Pixonic Insider, he has the office to "raise" questions with Pixonic. As far as I have seen, Insiders are giving us news, not participating in a dialogue with them as such. Also they do not have the liability to ask questions even if raised by ALL forum members. More like, they can, but they don't have to. If all 'Insiders' do is give news, I am sure that Pixonic can do that themselves. I feel that the Insiders should present certain things the majority forum says to Pixonic, just like a representative should. We absolutely pass along things that we feel should be brought to their attention.

If the argument against map skipping is competitive advantage, then anyone playing the game on a pc via an emulator is also against the rules, yet this forum has a guide telling people how to do it and in Weeds own words on that thread playing on a pc gives gim a huge advantage. Seems like people are keen to pick and choose what competive advantage is ok.

As for the effect on gameplay, you don't need anecdotal evidence. If I build a hangar custom for Power Plant and skip every ohter map, then I have gamed the system for a competitive advantage. I feel that's wrong, you don't appear to, and on we go...

In fact, I applaud the initiative in trying to learn the ways and customs of a board you're new at! But Why? is right. It's not a duty or obligation to serve as an individual ombudsman for Pixonic, but rather a general liaison between company and community. Now, that's not to say that from time to time we don't do that- quite the opposite, which is why I suggested another Forum Insider might be willing to go to bat on this.

This is a great resource – would you object to some of these links being added to the respective robot pages on the wiki? Not one bit! The more knowledge out there, the better!

You are one of our Pixonic Insiders, as such you have a direct line of communication to the developers so can get an answer quicker than any ordinary player. Low level players are suffeing in the LQ, I am afraid I dont understand your reluctance to ask Pixonic a question through the insider channel. If your position is that map-skipping should be enabled or unpunished, I'm not going to help you. It's a non-starter, I'm sorry mate. If your position is that newer players don't know that map-skipping comes with a peril and it's only fair to warn them, then I agree with you, but this is already known by Pixonic and there's no reason to ask them again. The way you phrased your initial query seemed to point to the first... but I could be mistaken.

Whether you approve or not its a legitimate question and one that should be answered by Pixonic. Sure, go for it, I'm not impeding you.
