OK not really in a rage but I am leaving very disappointed. First off let me say these things... I haven't been on this forum for any time so I don't expect anyone to care. I haven't been playing long (8 months I think) so it's not like I'm a veteran player that War Robots is losing. I haven't got any further than Expert league so it's not like I was an expert on the game. I haven't done much here other than complain so I expect you to dismiss what I say as the ranting or a sore loser. That's fine if you do. I'm not trying to change your mind at all. Now that I got that out of the way... When I first started playing this game I was quickly hooked. I haven't found a phone App game anywhere near as good as War Robots, at first. I hadn't played any game that I paid for other than games I purchased and the very rare expansion here and there but I didn't mind giving my money to the DEVs at War Robots, at first. I thought they had a great game going and I wanted to support it. I liked that you could team up with random players and work together in a team play environment, at first. So what changed? First and foremost knife fighting is completely dead now. I worked hard to get my 3 Galahads and even if they aren't the best choice I usually did pretty well in them. I would find other Gals and battle shield to shield and didn't care if I got beat because I learned from each fight. Now they are pretty much useless. Any attempt now to get into a knife fight is ruined by some faceroller who spams his Tulu into me from distance. If I try to engage him he just has to walk or jump backwards and roll his face across the fire button until I'm dead. So, that's it for knife fighting as far as I'm concerned. Goodbye Galahads with their swiss cheese shields. I regret that I worked so hard to get you. Now, you could say learn to adapt to the changes and roll a Gekko Patton, A RDB Griff or an Ancilot and yes, I have in fact done that but it's boring. I see no point is standing as far back as I can and burning some guy down to half health before he can get to cover. Absolute snore fest. Not to mention I feel like a cheap douche. Like almost as scummy as a Hydradouche who just sits in the corner firing rockets at a target he cant see or the scabs that used to roll lvl 4 Gepards/Stalkers with high level Aphids so they can win against noobs with low level everything. Maybe sit back and firie Trebs every 23 seconds? LOL even more boring. So whats left? Roll a bunch of RDBs and stand outside of the range of anyone who's looking for a fight/ Spam Tulu at corners and still get hits because of their ridiculous AOE? No thanks. Sadly, Knife fighting is dead. RIP Now, what else do I have to complain about...? Black market? Just a scam to make you play for nothing. I think it was the third time I spent 100 keys to get 30 that I decided to quit trying. Imagine buying a $100 gift card and then going to buy something with it only to find out it's only got $30 on it... Yea, that's what it feels like to me. Like I was cheated. It' may not feel that way to you but I don't care. I also don't care if you want to say only open 1000 chests. Quitters? Yea I suppose there always were quitters but nothing like there are now. I find it quite the douche move to leave a group that was working to get YOU a win but whatever. Now people are more worried about a virtual league title. I could go on but I'm sure the TL DR posts are already being formed so I'll stop. War Robots was a good game but something happened that has made it total dogsh}t and I'm not interested in it any more. I'm going to leave it as a crapper game. Basically play a round here and there on the can. Kind of fitting since it's currently circling the bowl... My only suggestion is, if you want this game to get better stop paying for it. I know it's had to resist buying some gold to speed up a lengthy upgrade but believe me... When the DEVs started this game they wanted it to be fun and they got the membership they got by doing just that. Making a great game you could play for free on your phone but, somewhere along the way $ ruined it. Now the next upgrade will be whatever makes the weapons you spent all your time and money on absolutely useless so you have to catch up all over again. Don't kid yourself. As long as you keep paying for this game they will keep ignoring your complaints and suggestions to make it better. It's jumped the shark as they say and only a huge drop in purchases will make them listen. Guess if you see me playing again you will know what I'm concurrently doing. try not to picture it. I'll try again later to see if the issues we all know exist that the DEV's say aren't issues get resolved but I believe it's only going to get worse. happy facerolling.

Bro calm down, we're all into it!!! Run a bunch of stalkers and carnages and you'll not fear RDBs and hydras that much! I'm not forcing you to play but seriously, it's not worth quitting, the britbots will probably get a buff in the near future so they'll shine again. Also try a rog.

I'm not forcing you to play but seriously, it's not worth quitting, the britbots will probably get a buff in the near future so they'll shine again. Also try a rog. I don't a stalker, but I have a carnage. It's fun, but it's fragile. Like every other knifer, it's good for maybe one kill, and then there's usually not enough left to survive another encounter. I've got a ton of little fast bots, I've got mids, I've got heavies. And I've got a Rog, and like any other shiny new toy, it was a blast for a few days, but its weaknesses show up just like every other bot. If you're lucky enough to find a teammate to stick with AND will stick with you, you might get a couple of kills out of them; but those times are fewer and farther between, because all anybody is concerned about is maximizing damage -- if they're concerned about anything. There are so many things in this game that cause major frustration, more and more they're overtaking whatever joy there was in playing it. And every time they come out with something new, it doesn't fix anything, it just brings more frustration. So like the OP, I'm also rapidly reaching the point where it is worth quitting, because it is increasingly becoming not worth playing.

You can get about 3 kills with Carnage if you use it correctly, and if no tarancilots showed up! But well if you are gonna take everything seriously in the game then everything will frustrate you, I also get mad because of specific things in the game but we the players can't really change them. If you encounter something that can make you upset about the game, just joke about it, that's how I do when I lose rating points, used to get mad when I get -22 now I don't really care.

If you encounter something that can make you upset about the game, just joke about it, that's how I do when I lose rating points, used to get mad when I get -22 now I don't really care. I actually got 4 kills with my Carnage a little while ago. I grabbed the reds' home beacon on Shenzhen with Rhino, killed one to hold it then got wasted. Most of my team was keeping most of their team occupied on the side beacons -- and doing so quite well. I spawned the Carnage at their home beacon and there were a couple of worn-down reds that I picked off right away, then a couple more spawned close by but facing the wrong way, so I just blasted away, managing to get behind cover before they could line up on me, then popping out when the Thunders were recharged to finish them off. It's a thing of beauty when you get the right circumstances and play it right. I was actually a bit shocked at how much health I still had until a plasma something finally got me. Had another game before that on Dead City width a very aggressive team. I started in my Gareth to go grab a few beacons, and ended up playing most of the game with it. There was at least one teammate close by me almost the whole game, so I distracted and assisted on several kills. Again, I got lucky that the first few reds were spitting plasma, which the Gareth laughs at, rather than the parade of Orkans I usually get. But the whole game played like that, and it was one of the most fun to play that I can remember. Ironically I came in dead last in damage because I played the Gareth so long, but we won and I did have most beacons. And then there was the other game on DC..... I ran around capping beacons like I usually do, then look up to see only one blue beacon, the one I just capped. I got killed, looked at the map to see where to spawn, and FOUR blues were camped on the bridge behind spawn while I and one other guy were getting killed trying to grab beacons. That one quickly turned into a get myself killed and get out as fast as possible deals. Except for the brief moment where I spawned my Rhino on the bridge and pushed a couple of them off. But anyway... I don't even mind the games where I go -22, if I gave it a good shot and my team just got outplayed. You can have a good game and lose; it's the ones you lose because of stupidity that infuriate me. When there's no teamwork, when I'm the only one trying to grab beacons while everybody else is either camping or just trying to pad their damage stats, that's when I get killed fast and have no fun.

The game is made to get you to this point so you take out the credit card and run a bunch of cash on it to level up but then things change on you like meta or mm and you have to start over. I have poured some money in to it but it is my hobby so to speak. Otherwise I would be DOA from the home beacon. Just enjoy the game stop when it get crazy for you.

Firstly, don't quit! The game is still great, although I do actually agree. I wish pixonic would quit with the 「dookie」ty black market 「dookie」 and just let people buy what they want. You ran 3 galahads because they were OP, so pixo buffed rockets. They buffed them a little too much, but galahads did dominate the game for a while. Also, I run a thunder carnage... I took down a tarancilot with only one thunder left because he was half health and reloaded after only one burst at me.

Knife fighting is dead?!?!??!
Really??
While I agree the meta sucks at the moment, nearly all the top players I know are all running knife fighters. In fact, my clan doesnt even allow more than 1 mid-rang or sniper in hangar when we squad.
However, I would suggest that you need to learn to adapt to various play styles. Just because your Galahads worked before doesn't mean they work not. The meta constantly changes. Buy different bots, adapt, learn to use cover differently. RDBs HAVE been nerfed. But Orkans are still powerful.
And you really shouldnt be turning a corner without knowing what is there first. There are ways to do that. Range awareness helps a lot.

Really. I don't care about the "top players" because I'm not in their league. I thought I stated (oh look I did) what league I was in but sometimes the obvious isn't... I'm talking about the player in D1/EXP who spam Tulu/pin and 4X Gekko. It's pretty much all their is now. If you're a Legend League player good for you but it has nothing to do with what I posted. Maybe re read my thread or read everything twice from now on. I don't know why you are suggesting I adapt to various play styles. I thought I stated (oh look I did) that I had changed my play style and Bots but I find facerolling medium range BS boring. I don't turn corners without looking. Jesus, it's like you read my post but didn't understand anything I said... Thanks Tips. You were a great help. Instantly regret logging back in here. I won't make that mistake again.

The Galahad ain't quite dead yet! I recently played my Punishad after a long hiatus, just for kicks. Situation awareness is huge in this game, but so is luck. It's almost like playing chess in the dark. Certain set ups will eat other set ups and either you get lucky and get the upper hand, or you learn to play the hand you have and suck up the losses when things don't go your way. Take my recent play with Galahad as examples.
I was on the Moon map, and you know that centre beacon tunnel, the upper one, where you can watch the red team come over the ramp? That is my favorite place for a Galahad.
First game: I ran there, capped the beacon, and then kept the red team from advancing with my punishers. It was almost funny. There were at least 3 red Griffins, and they were all too scared of my bullet storm to do what they should have done. Used their jump and flanked me. I hammered a PDB pretty good. He kept going up and down the ramp, thinking that could get me. Of course he couldn't, and I eventually got him when he stuck his head out once too often. I eventually got toasted, but it was fun while it lasted.
Second game: The next game, I was on the Moon again. I immediately went for the centre beacon, and got immediately toasted by a DB Griffin.
It is what it is.

Knife fighting isn't dead... it'll never die as long as you need to cap beacons lol. So I guess you don't know about the upcoming deathmatch where there are no beacons. Helping to run the forums as well as being in multiple online chats with other players who are in the exact same league as you tells me that knife fighting is not dead. There are multiple clans out there with players in your league range all using knife-fighters. So I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are geckkos annoying? Yes. Are they deadly? Yes. Are they the source of killing knife-fighting? No.... Geckkos, trebs and hydras exist in nearly ALL leagues and are a pain, but that hasnt killed knife fighting. It just makes it harder, but when you get to them, the kill is so satisfying. From my reading of what you wrote, I dont think you have actually been learning. Going "shield to shield" against another galahad doesn't teach you anything. It's pummeling each other until someone breaks. And RDBs have been in the game forever. And in fact, I'm not sure what the complaint is considering this update even nerfed them. Also, the fact that geckkos exist in the champions league and so do galahads show that there are still ways to use them (though i would not recommend them right now) regardless of the league. When I talked about a change of playstyle, I did not mean strapping on trebs, but learning to maneuver and make use of cover more effectively. I remember being in Expert and wondering why the heck I was not able to advance past this league. It was as if I hit a wall. It was not until i started squadding with folks in higher leagues and realizing that I had been playing the game with a mindset that was getting me killed to quickly. I learned to be more conservative in my approach, use cover, be patient and wait reds out before attacking or running for the next cover. It's an adapting of mindset. But I'm not u really wanna hear that, as you seem to insist that it's everyone else's fault. I'm not saying that Pix doesnt have a lot to answer for, but we can't blame every single thing on them either

And they can't kill you in a single salvo like a DB... I can respect someone for wanting to quit a game. I quit Clash Royale and felt a huge weight lifted. But quit it for the right reasons so that you will never go back to it and think "darn it, if I'd stayed in, I would have had..." When a games gets to much, when it's all you can think about, when you're spending oodles of money on it and getting instant buyers remorse, then it's time to quit.

One of the reasons i quit leading a clan for season. Leading the wiki clan had been sucking the fun out of the game due to the stresses of leadership.

Before you quit, I suggest you annoy the hell out of both blues and reds.
Put in say, 3 fujin hydras + 2 patton noricums (none of these is premium), or all hydras or all noricums if you want.
Forget beacons, wins or league.
Just fire away like an idiot noob. Good anger therapy, try it ?

At the same time when you DO pop a bot by doing so, you can laugh!
