Another forum coming soon: warrobots.proboards.com/I've communicated with a representative of Pixonic and they are open and interested in moving away from Reddit and into a more centralized/dedicated forum. We'll see what happens. Hopefully this ProBoards platform will allow for advance features and plugins otherwise we will have to find something else. Shows how long you have played the game. Cos before Reddit was linked in-game, this forum was the link that was displayed in the game menu. Part of the reason Pix removed the link was that they could have slightly more control over what happened on Reddit. - Pix previously had their own forum and died a terrible death due to their inability to moderate the forums. The only reason you have had insider information here previously is because Pix approached us to be insiders. - As for damage tables, those are all over the web and many were first done by the folks at the wiki (who founded this forum btw). - If being anti-Pix led to bans on this forum, I would have already been banned as well. Anyone who says that this forum is "pro-Pix" obviously hasn't read the Rants section and the stuff we allow so many including HEATHEN HERETIC to get away with. - Finally, while I personally have no issue with profanity, I do appreciate a nice and welcoming forum for folks of all ages. And if we are seriously thinking that maturity is defined by how many firetrucks we can drop, then I fear for the world. - But for the sake of the greater War Robots community, I'm always stoked to see more community outlets and resources.

I'll be more than happy to confirm with my Pixocontact that yours is the official War Robots forum. That way, we can remove all doubt for those who might hold a different opinion!

In fairness, I will say this HoneyNutCheerios. While I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the "officialness" of the Forum you are organizing, if my Pixo contact comes back and has a different opinion, you'll be getting another Forum strike. And we both know what that means. Of course, that's all hypothetical! I have no reason at all to doubt you, so am delighted to lend my assistance!!

Yes, I'm pretty new and I don't know much about the history of Pixonic but I intend on enhancing the community surrounding the game. You're going on a bit of a tangent but let me add to or clarify to what you're saying: - The arrangement is that I will be building a full-fledged forum and "handing over the keys" to Pixonic. This will be inline with their wishes to present an image that is accordance to their game (it's as you said, they want to keep it PG, positive, family friendly). - Damage tables (as images) are not "advanced features" and "plugins". Don't know where you got that. By advanced features I mean databases , API's (social media), interactive UI (just flash and bling, to make the website more lively), and some creative things on my end (that every forum needs) such as a dedicated art threads (for those sig requests), design kits, contests etc etc I really hope this works out and that Pix is on board with it. It's a big undertaking.

For the record I'm not anti-Pixonic. But I'm certainly not a fan of deliberately designed frustration and player abuse either.
It seems I may have been right. Pixonic doesn't really want honest player opinions at all. They just want lick boots and compliance.

I'm a little surprised to see some of the resistance to another board. It may become a clone. It may become something different or complimentary. It may end up being none of those things. But I'm there, and here. Why do coke drinkers want to bash a new soda company? I think variety and choice are good things.

Pixonic doesn't really want honest player opinions at all. They just want lick boots and compliance. Opinions are fine but they must be expressed in a respectful manner. To say that they don't want honesty and just want "boot lickers" is false since they are continuously taking efforts to improve the game based on player feedback and data (as shown on Reddit and their Facebook page). By the way, what do you mean by "player abuse"? Who is abusing who?

Hopefully as time goes on more and more boards/communities will pop up. Players need options, they deserve so much more!! :')

You can say things you dislike about Pixonic and/or game changes without being punted. Just saying, but if that were true, we would've had to ban everyone after the new mm hit. As a side note, congrats to the creators of the new forums!

I am 101% sure Pixonic is NOT building new forum on a free platform. Just know that for a fact. There is an official forum coming, most probably (because they are working on a one-site-to-rule-them-all project), and most probably there would be a forum. But it would definitely be on their own platform.

By the way, what do you mean by "player abuse"? Who is abusing who? They are not trying to improve the game and they are not listening to the players' complaints. That is evidenced by the fact that they have not fixed the matchmaking algorithm. They simply refuse to fix it despite the countless complaints about the unfair matchings it creates. Along with that ridiculous ranking system the whole thing was purposely and deliberately designed to be tanked and to create clubbers. Anyone with just one working neuron can see that. Because if it wasn't deliberate it suggests a level of intelligence that doesn't even touch ret*rded. So I'm going with deliberately done so as to be polite. More evidence that they do not listen to us came in the form of the recent addition of that awful iu in the last update. They were overwhelmingly informed that it sucked during beta testing. Yet they foisted it upon us anyways. And they are making us endure it despite the massive amounts of complaints about it. As for abusing players I say it's abuse to place players with no knowledge of even the existence of the LQ in there to be run down and stomped on a daily basis by Pixonic's tanking and clubbing Champions. I say it's abuse to not inform players of everything that is required to earn one's way back out of it as well. I say it's abuse and dishonorable to continue punishing players who comply fully with the only two rules set forth by Pixonic for them to get out and then not keep their word and let them out. Pixonic talks a big game about "fair gameplay" by its players but does not play fair itself. Pixonic cannot even be trusted to keep its word to its players. I've tried polite. So have many many others. If I see and smell a rose I will say it's a rose. If I see and smell bullsh*t well then I will have to say it's bullsh*t. That's what honesty is and there's little enough of it in this world. The moderators here will probably not like me going on another rant and I apologize to them for it...but then you did ask. As for another forum, good luck with that.

There is one thing I don't get in some of the above posts. This forum is chock-full of criticism of pix. I have neither seen nor experienced any pressure not to criticise. Am I missing something?

i just wanted a forum board that pixonic can really see and read so that i can tell them to simply improve higher rank rewards and daily quests They DO actually read stuff on this forum and have a presence. On that note, we forward a lot of material from here to them direct. Especially things we think wold help improve the game. side-note: I apologise to HEATHEN HERETIC if it I made it sound like he was anti-Pix. I was just making a point that we don't ban folks for criticising Pix. Pix already HAD their own forum and they blew it because they were not able to moderate it. That's why they directed traffic here initially as well as Reddit and why they also advertised this forum on their official FB page and why they made some of us insiders. Again, glad for anything that add value to the War Robots community, However, it's against the TOS to misrepresent things. And claiming something is official and "Coming soon" falls under that category. Maybe you should check through the history of various things before claiming certain things. Kinda like click baiting ain't it?

HoneyNutCheeriosSorry to inform you, but we heard back from Pixonic: They say that they have not talked to anyone about new official boards and if you have talked to anyone, that person was not authorized to communicate on such matters.The following part is being quoted verbatim: "We don't have any plans on moving general discussion boards to "official" platforms of any sort for now. New website is coming, that's true, but we will lead people to already established platforms from there." So the website will lead folks to places like Reddit, War Robots FB, the wiki, this forum and whatever else Pix deems worthy. In the future, please do not make announcements and promises without proper clarification and verification. I shall now leave this to the larger Mod/Admin team to see if they would like to take any further action for the misinformation.

Nothing wrong with more forums... and I respect greatly some of the dual board members. The relaxed atmosphere, (more adulty?), is, I am sure, a draw. I wish y'all the best! Look forward to reading some of the posts!
The only issue I have is someone coming on here to claim anyone not Pro Pixo is kicked. There ain't a person on here who hasn't had something to complain about either with the game itself, or some form the PR or CS that Pix has, or any number of other things.
I have defended many of the things Pixo has done (sometimes wrongly), but I have 「female dog」ed about things that needed changing, too... here on the Forum. I only see bans for blatant disregard for the Forum Rules.
Agreement with said rules is validated when you register. IF you are a member, you are subject to the rules. If you break them, you are warned, then banned if the warnings don't take hold.
As far as individual banning justification, I have no idea what the criteria is that they have to go by to determine ban-worthiness, so I won't comment on any particular ban... but I truly have never felt that I couldn't say my piece about anything here... that wasn't specifically stated as subject matter that is not allowed.
So, just FYI if anyone actually cares about my opinion, untrue accusations about this forum being one of the first things I see from a representative of that forum, posted HERE to stir up drama... does not make me want to visit. Drama has never been my motivation for being on any board, and if drama and shade throwing are the image that is being portrayed, I don't feel the desire to go.
Not that that is any great loss to y'all... plenty of folks there more knowledgeable than me and that play more than I do... so no worries, I'm sure. But that just didn't sit well with me... and it may not with others who just aren't saying anything. Something to consider if you are wanting to share the members with this site... Or... maybe that's the image y'all want... and if so, plenty of spoon stirrers that would enjoy it! The only reason I would go to read at this point is I love Paps' HPs', Rocks', Thunderkiss', and a few more folk's posts and always enjoy reading what they have to say and how they say it... be it here or there
Just my opinion... which is not worth much more than the change in my pocket... (which actually equals a pair of nail clippers, a pocket knife, and some lint, at the moment...)

As for another forum, good luck with that. HC- While I'm certainly no fan of the new MM, how do you know that it's not working as intended for Pix? We can all agree it pretty much forces players to upgrade and tier camping is no longer viable. So who's to say (with the exception of Pix management) that it's not acting exactly as intended? Forced Upgrades = Higher Demand for Ag = Higher Demand for Premium. Wouldn't the counter argument be that the League MM is exactly what Pix wants? Not listening to player feedback? Do you have the figures on player feedback from test sessions? Again, how do you know that your preference (related to the UI) was the majority voice? We have no idea what the majority voted for, so there's absolutely no way to say that "your" choice was the right choice. Also keep in mind, Pix spent time and money on the new UI. Saying "just scrap it" may not be possible based on how much resources were spent on it's design and implementation. I absolutely agree that LQ for newbs is BS. Them being punished for something they don't know about (or are warned about) is pretty crappy. Definitely agree that an explanation should be provided at loading screens for player awareness. However, Pix should absolutely be opaque about how to leave LQ, else it opens another way for players to exploit parts of the game. Whether liked it or not, LQ is designed as a punishment for players "not playing the game as intended" (Pix's words, not mine). Getting out should be harder for players, not easier. Take it for what it's worth bud. I'm just trying to provide a different set of optics for you to see your complaints from...
