Can't get out of LQ

There is nothing "fun" about the LQ. Anyone who thinks it is is a sadist who either likes being stomped or likes stomping those weaker than themselves. Although in saying that I must be just a bit of a sadist since I really enjoy screwing over the very highly upgraded players in there by intentionally using just my sniper and artillery bots and not caring whether my teams win or not. Just so long as I get the damage I need to not be considered as leaving matches I'm done doing anything else in there.

Oooookay... Maybe your situation was / is a little unusual. Dunno how many would be that... Sheltered? Buffered? Isolated? Uninformed? Unexposed?
Somewhere there's an adjective that suits...

It is VERY fun to hear. And the reason is that I was under the impression that War Robots is a single player, too. For several weeks.
Because I don't play much (usually it's 1-2 games per year), so my previous one, RealRacing, was single player with ability to play with real people.

Sooooo I though in War Robots you COULD participate in a multiplayer mode, but usual mode is single player practice.

Soooo I'm kind of with you on that HEATHEN HERETIC

Yeah, I got some games to "try out" new weapons\bots (How would Vityaz with Punishers do? And would I be able to use Destrier with 2 Spirals instead of Spiral+Molot?) so I start the battle, got into the fight, don't like the new setup, leave the game.
No biggie, it's just the stupid computer bots - it's obvious that real players won't be so stupid about the beacons, right?

And in some time, when I saw the forum\wiki sites, I realized it's multiplayer at all times. Except for it isn't. Turned out first several battles WERE actually simulated. And I'm fallen under the impression lately that Pix is introducing A.I. controlled bots now, like Battle of Titans is doing. 
But that's completely different story.

I see why LQ is needed, it's just done badly right now. 
And I would really like A.I. bots to help me out, the best solution would be helper bots - the real team player that sticks with you and help.

I saw this on the opposing team in a match recently in the LQ...




Notice that these have almost the same name with identical hangers but different ranks. AIs? One person playing two profiles? Twins playing around using the same setups? I might have have though one of the latter options except that these two were not squading. They aren't even clan members. And if it was one player they managed decent scores with both hangers in the same match.
My theory is that Pixonic is experimenting with AIs using the LQ as their test bed.
Random matches have been taking inordinately long periods of time to generate. Several times I've let the timer run for over an hour just to see if it will ever start. Got bored and canceled the countdown to battle so I never did find out. But these cancels are probably causing my karma counts to be reset back to zero and continuing to screw me over in getting out of the LQ.?

Then my own theory that Pixonic has become desperate with their special sales is also seeming to be a reality. Too few players means they've managed to run off most of their core players and regular sources of income are drying up. The people claiming that Pixonic is doing fine on the stock market tend to forget that War Robots is but one of their products.

A while back I made the claim that Pixonic was deliberately tanking the game in order to destroy it. If they've run enough players off by use of those ridiculous leagues and its tie in with the matchmaker they might succeed at doing it very soon. I've lost a huge number of potential squadmates from my FaceBook game profile in the last two months as they have announced their departures from the game. And overall it's frustration with that sh*tty brown MM has been the biggest complaint in causing them to quit playing. A lot more just do not appear in my Friends squad lists anymore, it's about 1/4 what is was at its highest count.

The game has a lot of potential in both brawling and strategic gameplay but Pixonic has chosen to emphasize the brawling aspect totally ignoring the possibility of strategic gameplay.

I'm a big fan of strategic combat. I can play d*mn near any other PvP game and get the brawler experience. Very few games give players the option to go toe to toe while also giving the player a strategic aspect as well. War Robots does this in your first 5 player levels but quickly after that the strategic goes right out the window never to be seen again. I'm figuring that's why comms in the game is a rarity as well. In my experience if players are using comms it's 99.9% of the time just to shoot the sh*t and socialize over any real tactical use.

I'm really hoping BoT is going to be the game that replaces War Robots for me. I rarely squad anymore since I was really wanting the tactical teamplay with comms. Most of the maps are just too small for it anyways. And Pixonic is just adding more like them. They're brawler maps exclusively making tactical comms useless and strategy is just non-existant.

Ok, I don't know what's going on but I sure ain't complaining. My last six matches have had no Diamonds-Champions and only a very few Golds. And all those were low Gold. Did they kill the LQ? I've heard no news.

Aaaaaaauuuugggghhhhhh!!!!!!! Godsdamnit!!!!! Pixonic has screwed me over yet again!!! It appears they've put everyone back into that 「fluffernutter」ing hell! I've been doing my best to not get put back into that damned hole! I was really enjoying playing decent matches again and then I suddenly find myself back in there! ?!?!?!?!?「whiskey tango foxtrot」?!?!?!?!?

HEATHEN CAT is finally out. Six and a half months of doing exactly what I was told to do. Began my stay in the LQ with 436 wins under my belt, 543,521 top damage and a Silver 3 ranking. Got out with the same ranking...

Because up to an hour ago I was facing Recruits-Champions, all mixed, in every match. Now I'm clubbing my way through Privates-Silvers. I feel like a sh*theel doing it, but I'm not changing up my bots to match theirs. I'll just live with it until it's over.

No, not leaving matches early. No skipping any maps.

The b*tch of it was that Pixonic utterly failed to tell anyone that anything else would be counted as "leaving" by their "log". In fact we had a Pixonic rep tell the gaming community that if we canceled the match countdown before a match started that that would not be counted against us as "leaving". That was a complete lie as we found out later.

Another thing they failed to tell players was that we are required to do damage in every match or be considered as "leaving" as well. I only found that out by asking about it directly. And only after I had been farming Au running all ECU/bots for over 2 1/2 monthes trying to fulfill the only two criteria that Pixonic would acknowledge. What was chapping my 「bum-bum」 was the fact that Pixonic simply refused to release me after I did fulfill what they told me to do. "Do not leave matches early and do not skip any maps." That was easy. It was the rest of their untold sh*t that I considered unfair, not only to myself but to every other player also affected by their un-spoken/written rules.

Almost anyone else would have just tossed the game, but I just couldn't. I also wanted Pixonic to acknowledge their duplicity. Like that will happen.

I'm just glad to have my main profile loose again. I have no intention of getting put back in that hell again. I just hope it's not another temporary reprieve like the one we got before 2.9 was implemented.

Hey Heathen.. That is a very good news to hear!!!

I got myself into LQ yesterday because I was leaving matches after getting a couple beacons for the beacon mission and now the only way I can get a match is by having someone host a squad battle. Do these matches count toward getting out? I understand penalizing for leaving matches, but not finding a match in 8 hours is a bit excessive......
