Insider Update

I respectfully disagree that the pricing is correct. I can't imagine that of the millions of players a significant percentage already have them, but would not wager a guess. But it's all but been confirmed that they will nerf them and it's highly likely those individuals will react. You want to make customers happy to pay you and happy to play. They built up the suspense and made them very powerful to yield a big payoff - and clearly it has worked. But now they are in a corner, as the majority will not pay those prices and those who spent now will not like a lowered price or lesser power.

I totally agree with your previous comment. If things were priced closer to $7.5 I myself would probably buy one - and I LOATHE paying for additional content in mobile games. I am willing to buy a whole game or suffer advertisements, but buying individual components bugs me. I own being a cheapskate and understand the devs deserve to get paid, but this model is too easily abused - especially on mobile where games can close up with little notice and you have nothing. At least with console games you know you can always play what you bought because the big companies are much less likely to close up shop/servers. Mobile games do not share this longevity.

For some reason, all those years ago when Wannabe first aired on radio I misheard zig-a-zig ah as "lick a sick ox ah"
I thought it odd to be honest but then agian, considering the type of music at the the time, plausibile to a degree.

I think every piece of equipment in this game is extremely step.  Those hourly offers are ridiculous.  I really love this game but I didn't realize it would be a lifetime quest to obtain a Lancelot or a tempest.  I guess I'll get a Korean bot when I purchase that real life Ferrari....

Pix has really made a money printer here and amount of cash some ppl spend is ridiculous if not stupid.

I'm not playing War Robots much these days and try to keep it rather relaxed, stay out of the "wanna have, must have" circus. As many, many other threads suggest, there is a certain amount of frustration in the player base. The time ppl spend on attempts to achieve some illusive in-game goals is astonishing. Side effects is some pretty good read on this forum...but still, is it worth the effort behind it?

It's a game. Things you buy don't really exist. It's not even a theater ticket, since with lottery you cannot really know what you'll get.
Game should be considered imo a form of entertainment. Is it really so unique to be worth spending money which could buy you a new/used console of newest generation plus some games for it? I just bought 1TB PS4 slim, practically new with HZD for just above 200$...it cannot be nerfed, doesn't have tons of bugs that will be solved with next update...bringing new bugs. I can also buy other games for it for less then few-day War Robots premium cost. Those games will stay, can be sold as well as the hardware...and yah, it uses 60" screen

I know there is a crowd psychology behind it, they created a demand with all this dash-bot hype and now after seeing few of those OP bots in the wild some ppl are spending hundreds of $ just to have access to this non-existing goods, which value is a subject to constant speculation on dev side (yep, it'll be nerfed).

IMO in the very core, this game, like every other, is simply meant to be source of fun. There are tons of other games on this or other platforms to deliver same effect. Give you same feeling if you like...and if you want something competitive, try some PC or console titles in multi-player mode. There simply are better/more optimal ways to get the fun factor...I mean same amount of fun/satisfaction/challenge, etc. All in all the whole thing with War Robots went now brutally on the P2W side for those who strive to stay on top...if you want to maintain the edge, have a true winning chance = mm says you must pay.

Guys it's your cash, but don't you feel this spiral spins sometimes beyond ridiculous? What I'm trying to say is just chill a bit, take a fresh look at a broader picture and find your fun in all of it instead of clicking the $$$ on the electronic bait.

Nerf & buff, divide & conquer...

I've preordered the GOTY version of Fallout 4 (XBone) with the same basic rationale. 

Most people dont seem to realize that a HUGE number of players bought $500-1000 worth of keys, spun them, got their dash bots and then asked Apple for a refund. And in nearly all cases I have heard, Apple gave them all the money back.

Yes, they keep what they spin.  Kinda hard to backtrack if they have already used the gold won from spins to speed upgrades etc...

I agree they are jackasses.  But their rationale to Apple for getting their refunds is that Pix misrepresented how easy it would be to get a Dash.

And I kinda have to agree with that one.  I dont think anyone has a problem spending money if you KNOW what you are going to get for the money spend (ie a Dash).  But to spend money for a CHANCE is quite silly.  Especially when some folks get a dash from a single Silver spin and we have had cases of folks spending $400 and getting zero dashes.

I dont agree, but I do empathize.  But yeah, the situation is totally being exploited.  Though Apple makes it clear that they will only do the refund ONCE for that reason given.

I agree with you mate.  I'm not saying i condone it, but I truly suspect it's many folks way of just giving Pix the finger.

But what are they recouping?  It's just digital code.  LOL....

But to reiterate, I dont agree with the practice

if you accidentally click to buy something, that makes sense. but asking for a refund ion any lottery is stupid. agree totally, as you don't go to vegas to get money, lose, and ask for your money back.

How, exactly, does one go about manipulating the MM on a silver-level account?

With any luck that song stayed with you all day, Make it last forever, friendship never ends

Tanking and fading aren't the only ways to manipulate MM. The gaps are so wide and obvious that you can park a rajin in them and still fit a lance around both sides. 

Pix is still using blunt instruments to achieve its goals. 

That's plain and simple fraud. A violation of implicit contractual agreement...Pix is in the business of selling non physical 1's and 0's...They have to take full advantage of the limited time to maximize a highly perishable digital privilege through artificially inducing scarcity in a thing that is infinitely reproducible. A paying player is actually renting access to digital non tangible content and is never the property of the buyer ever.

If indeed players have full hangers of 12/12 Dash hangers hours after release by fraud refunding , this is out and out banable offenses.

That sucks ballz for them but somehow I don't feel all that bad for them either.

They tried playing us good players by trying to game the system against us and got played themselves...HA!

And now, they're going to "fix" the delivery mechanic because we were grumbling? Ha! Does not make me feel sympathetic for them at all.

So not only are they losing a bunch of money but also a lot of player good will. Oh irony!
