I can respect their size and reach as a community, so that's why I wanted to highlight them. That said, for precisely the same reasons as you, I don't particularly enjoy going there as opposed to here.

I get the frustration, but tanking discussions are a dead end on this forum.

Pixo released some numbers around their Black Market system today, so of course I need to lift the hood and see what's goin' on under there. Enjoy!

Hey folks, we issued an update on the site, but the TLDR is this: I've talked to admin over there, they're approving members as fast as they can but there's a massive backlog. As a result, we're extending the deadline 24 hours for this one.

Hey gang, the giveaway train keeps on a'rollin'. Today we're giving away a Kumiho. We've already seen winners get a Bulgasari, Haechi, and triple-pack of Scourges...and there's still a ton to give out. Here's the link for today's contest. There's a new one each day for a total of twelve days!

The farthest you can go and still hope to be accurate is to say that the matchmaker is "stacked" against you, because that's the design. To say that it is "rigged" or "fixed" is to stretch those words to fit. "Stacked against you" my foot...why do you have to sugarcoat something that's beyond doubt an unethical practice? Chest rewards is also a RIGGED model/algorithm so as to "push" players into paying for keys (or play continuously to amass more than a 1000 keys to have a remote chance of getting something of any worth). It's all rigged to bring players that don't want to pay a cent for the game, to despair and leave the game. This company is using unethical psychological tools (which will lead to its demise - I'm a chartered psychologist and used to be a member of the British psychological society) in order to induce addiction then blackmail you into paying so as to feel moderately competent. Lets don't kid ourselves, this game is for idiots, not rocket science by any means, the bots are modeled after the "stone, scissors, paper" game. Every weapon and bot has its "andidote". As soon as the player realises that it's all about beacons and time, the only thing to make you "a good player" is to have high level durable bots and 5 bot slots. That's the summary of the whole game. Pin it somewhere for all the current victimised kids (and future ones) to see. An unpleasant waste of time. P.S. I doubt that you'll pin it moderator because you are possibly part of the problem, maybe you are an employee of this company or you have some other kind of related interest. You are possibly going to erase it from here as well. Why would I feel the need to erase your post or impose my "related interest" upon it? Chartered psychologist, eh? Might want to brush up on "paranoia" and "delusion" in your trusty ol' ICD reference. Clearly your impressive CV doesn't include being a game designer, because you'd recognize the virtues of the "rock-paper-scissors" model you deride here for game diversity, health, and longevity. Nothing I said in the post you took issue with gave Pixonic carte blanche. But if you're going to contend that the matchmaker or anything else is "rigged," which implies deceptive intent, you'll either need to provide some kind of evidence to back up your claim, or perhaps reluctantly be consigned to the roster of windbags who similarly are unimpeded by reason in their bloviation. Oh, and welcome to the Forum.

It's moot for me. I don't spend cash on phone/iPad games. If the pendulum swings too far to P2W, I'm done. It remains to be seen what that break point is. I think it's different for each person. I'm concerned by what I read, but like others, I'm reserving judgment until the dust settles. That said, the game is vastly different in execution than the game I started playing well over a year ago. Some bells and whistles are good, but others aren't. Meanwhile some longstanding issues languish. You've just been issued a forum Strike, Poops. Excessive reasonableness is against the TOS here.

?firetruck? the gossipers, I'm in your corner. ? I would add that searches on words like "thunder", "paps", "angel", and even "boobs" or "fartbux" yield just as much as gossip as searches for "dredd" on that server

Strayed he PM'd me. aces123 Nobody defends clan poaching. If someone did it here, it's an offense against the TOS. BUT... that said... we're all (at least nominally) adults here. If Poopface kicked a puppy this morning on his way out the front door, or if @heavypanda habitually takes more than one sweetie out of the dish on his way out of the Chinese take-out, that might not reflect well on them, but I think it's fair to say we're not going to take up the cause on this board. I've had a lot of personal dealings with Nook J., and found him at all times to be above-board and solid. That does NOT mean that I'd automatically disqualify a report of wrongdoing, but it DOES mean he gets the benefit of the doubt. Had you raised this once and, not getting the desired result, moved on with your life, it would be a lot more credible. But going this far, with the majority of your posts here about this one topic... well, it makes you seem like a jilted ex-lover out for revenge. Perhaps it's time to move on, and enjoy all the other amazing things thos community has to offer.

How do you measure effort? ... I put in lots & lots of effort - I just suck at the game ... without dash bots Pretend you just bought a raffle ticket. You take the ticket and a pen, write your name down, and drop in in the bucket. That's the kind of effort I mean.

I'll say this- it'll be down to your effort and Lady Fortuna. No essays, voting contests, or anything else protracted. ANd hopefully, it'll be fun, too! Do I have to buy keys? Not a one!

Supposed to be out today. Unless they're synchronizing with the iOS update, which means they'll remain hidden for a week.

Edited to add: 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is going on with the forum lately??? We've had noobs crying because a free game isn't free enough, guys attacking a poster because his English isn't good enough for them, mods and others performing back-breaking mental gymnastics to defend the swastika, of all things (please don't even get started on that BS again), religious guys wanting to censor the forum over their personal beliefs, and now this jackhole making sideways threats to kill the game. Would it be just A-firetrucking-OK with you guys if we got back to lame jokes and robots blowing ?poo-poo? up? Take a few days off, and look what happens... Looks like I missed a few things. Mods defending swastikas?

I'm going to lock this thread. geribaldi, regardless of what one might think of what you do as a hobby, I at least note that you tested the waters rather than blasting it all over the forum, so thanks for that. However, this topic is against this forum's Code of Conduct, and therefore prohibited. There's another War Robots players forum out there with a higher discourse tolerance you might try, or the Facebook Group. Alternately, feel free to DM me to see if there's opportunity for a guest piece on MECH*SPECTRUM.

I wonder how this would affect the current lag and connection issues? The game is a bit unplayable these past few days. It would allow you to select the person you would like to experience the lag and connection issues with. #sharingiscaring
