For a while now, I have stopped playing war robots in favor of team fortress 2. War robots has become too set in the meta for me, as only very specific loadouts can hold a candle in high levels. The lack of communication in the actual game and how you can see everyone, makes the game to bland anymore for my taste. In tf2, on the other hand, there are none classes, with many different loadouts, with 75% of weapons viable, while in war robots it is either plasma or splash that can be used, due to the way the currency works. In tf2 the there is no premium currency, and all weapons can be collected by random drops. The hybrid setup in war are almost never as good as specified ones, leading to very set in stone ways to can combine weapons. Even close range plasma and splash are told to keep separate, or risk being out gunned to a bot packing just one or the other. Tf2 has much more varied weapons, each designed for a purpose, yet still the same type of weapon. For those that don't agree with me, please understand I am at the point where it is just grinding for silver, no new stuff for my bots. This is very boring for me, and has lead to my absense. I will still rarely look on the forum, more with school starting back up, but it will be sparingly. Thank you for being a great community, but I cannot stand the repetition of war any more. Good bye war robots, and may the rest of you have a great time p!aying it.

Good bye war robots, and may the rest of you have a great time p!aying it. Seems like you missed some things. Punishers and molots are now viable, as is the new tempest weapon. For better or worse, hydras and gekkos are also viable. The UI was updated and a new game mode was added. Rhinos are once again viable as well. Is TF2 free now? War Robots is free. Conveniently, it can be played on a smart phone. But the graphics aren't as good as some of my PS4 games. Overwatch is all the rage now. Maybe you should start that up. -Amid |

Well sad to see anyone go but best of fun and luck with the new game. I agree tho and I am picky about games - some can get stale quite rapidly and then it's better to move on to the next. I am still enjoying War Robots - new game mode is like a blast of fresh air and my Zarnage has 2 x lvl 10 Zeus...  |

SATmaster728 , I can definitely see myself getting to that point. I've only been playing for about four months, and having just reached Diamond 2 for the second time, I can already see how I'm going to be hindered moving up much further without certain requisite higher-level loadouts (cough....Ancilot....cough). I've still got room to move with my current hangar, but I can already see its limitations that are going to need a lot of gold and a lot more upgrade time to fix just to be able to get knocked around by better players. Hey, take some time off. Maybe drop in and keep upgrades going if you have enough silver on hand, and at some point after a break it might be fun again. Meanwhile, I might have to give tf2 a look -- maybe a little diversion will keep this game fun for me a little longer. Good luck!

I do have 1, but I'm still playing 4 other bots and I would consider a DB or RDB griff at least as potent. I think if you are getting stuff up to 9 or 10 you will make Expert easily. |

I can relate actually. I've been playing literally daily since Feb 12th, but now straddling between Diamond III and II on Android, I kinda feel like I'm going nowhere. Upgrades really start to get slow and expensive at lvl 9, and it's the worst time to be low on Ag.
I used to be in your clan actually, for about a month. But with my going solo most battles and being in a weird time zone, I didn't have much online overlap with other clan mates and felt like I was becoming a dead weight, so I've gone ronin again.
Once my Premium VIP is up a month from now on Android, I think I'll hang it up too, at least for a while. Might still keep the Gameroom account going though, but we'll see.

OP Dont be sad this game is freaking trash anyway along with Line: Get Rich. One best free games is Path Of Exile and Asphalt 8 airborne require real skillz and not some solely on an algorithm that is fixed depending on dev's if their in good mood or bad mood if they want you to win or lose.his match I though we were gonna win but it turned out we lost. the MM is ?firetruck?ing pathetic. we were out up against two players with 5 hangars the rest were 4. our team, one person only with 5 hangar. I;m always the best player, but always keep getting kicked in the nut sack back down the ladder. if you think im pulling nonesne out thin air about MM making system then you can read this illiteracyhasdownsides.com/2017/04/19/starcraft-ii-csgo-matchmaking-systems/ I'm just revealing the truth this game is a scam by these poor Russian communist wanting to take the advantage naive player's into spending real money for exchange in game currency  |

I'm contrarian enough to refuse to get a Lancelot (or Fury for that matter). Plod. Plod. Plod. I don't care about the meta as long as I enjoy the 'bots I play. If that means I never make Champions league, so what? I find the leagues a bit of a distraction from the serious business of having fun. And they aren't really leagues anyway. If you are in a league aren't you, you know, supposed to play with other people in, like, the same league? Or is there a meaning of the word "league" (other than a measure of depth) that I am not aware of? Sorry to see anyone leave. Do pop round now and again. |

War Robots is constantly changing, maybe you'll find something completely different if you let it be for a few months. |

Yes, this game becomes boring especially this kind of matchmaking. I miss the old hangar-based matchmaking. It's more fun to play.

Dont sweat bro . Its not your job or problem to like this or any game . Thats the games job and problem . If team fortress pulled that off for you , then good for team fortress.
This game indeed drags its feet when introducing new content . From my experience most app games of this nature would bring out a new bot or weapon every version update.

Well, I was rookie back then... seal-clubbed by fast running light bots with three magnums. I said to myself, 'Wow, I want one of these!' Now, I have 5 gepards collecting dust in my attic. Gepards can't survive long on a higher league--I'm in Diamond 1 League btw. |

I keep thinking they might get a speed and HP buff sometime but I'm not holding my breath. I'm in D1 iOS |

Does anyone wonder if somebody is whining on the TF2 forums right now about how stale that game has become and how they are going to play War Robots instead?
They're probably not. They probably knew to move on long before the point they felt they needed to whine about how awful the game was on the forums. Well, one can hope so.

Gepards can't survive long on a higher league--I'm in Diamond 1 League btw.[/quote] Seal clubbing could have been pretty much eliminated with minimal tweaks to the matchmaking. 3 tweaks would have been necessary: (1) Weigh weapon rank more than robot rank. The old matchmaking thought that a 3/12 Gepard is worse than a 7/4 Gepard, which is obviously nonsense. A good value system would have been to consider 1 weapon level equal to 1.4 hull levels instead of 0.5. (2) Include total wins. That's the one stat that can't be manipulated. That is, give players a matchmaking boost that grows linear with the number of wins, but is capped by say 1000 wins. That is, a player with 500 wins would be penalized enough such that he will never be in a bronze league. (3) For leagues, use the hangar-based matchmaking system (so a champion league player could be pitted against silver players), but adjust it to be a bit more like ELO - if you beat a player that is way above you, then you'll gain more points than if you beat a player that is below you. In other words, that Champions League player would gain only very few points, but would lose big time if he loses the battle. That removes the incentive to use light hangars in the hope to be pitted against noobs. Transparent, easy, elegant. Forget about tanking and LQ, no incentives to tank/leave. |

Gepards can't survive long on a higher league--I'm in Diamond 1 League btw. there was an even easier solution. set account level thresholds. Brackets would be 1-10, 11-19, 20-28, 29+ with the same hanger based MM. Or you could break it into only two groups:1-19, 20+. set up like that, only the 19s could club the newbies. The 30s with the loaded hangers could only club as low as 20. problem solved. |

It takes about 50 games to get to level 20. And even if you reach 30 you'll have a 6-6 hangar and would be up against TT guys. |
