 Getting annoyed here......I'm in expert 3 just below 2 and now every single game has atleast half champions league players. It's like bronze league 3 constantly playing against diamond league. This guys hanger is clearly bought and paid for. His scourges killed my 1 haechi in literally 7 seconds.......thing is he wasn't even a good player...I killed him with my worse hanger but damn this just sucks the fun out of everything |

Im as stubborn as a mule and this actually makes me dig in more vs goad me into paying. But agree 100% that is the strategy. Had been thinking about getting the new SWBF II to put some space between me and War Robots, till I read they are on the micro transactions train too. They’ve reversed a little now but it’s clear this is where game development is trending. Maybe it’s time to carry a deck of playing cards around and go the route of digital hermit gamer. Think people would mind if I set up a game of solitaire on the floor when I ride the subway to work? |

Lol sake....these micro transactions are everywhere...however War Robots is playable without spending a penny. Let's say you place each day for 1 year. You can easily amass 100 gold per day taking into account tasks. This gives you 36,500 gold. That alone is enough for 5 slots, a fury, lancilot, 2 Orkans and 3 Zeus and other bits and bobs...lets not forget freebies like black market and other events. You could even have enough to buy a dash bot...all without spending a penny

I believe that the scourge was advertised as the anti dash weapon. Logic dictates that if your in a Haechi, and you see triple scourge, you should not engage. I'm not sure this thread is about how OP scourges is, how messed up the MM system is, or how someone may have made a judgement error.

I don't think the impact of the kbots would have been that huge if Pixo had released the new weapons at an affordable price, possibly less than an orkan or a taran and released them way ahead. But they had to make it ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Its like they come up with a basically good idea then some monkey in a business suit (and authority for final approval) waters it down or totally 「illegitimate child」izes it to earn as much as possible before the idea is implemented...oh wait.

The scenario was on Shenzhen and he was hiding behind a building so couldn't see what he was packing until he dashed out and slaughtered me  |

Its like they come up with a basically good idea then some monkey in a business suit (and authority for final approval) waters it down or totally ?illegitimate child?izes it to earn as much as possible before the idea is implemented...oh wait. And that is the crux of it, I think... the level of exclusivity.... and their approach. Mini-rant, I'll hide to not elicit sighs from those that are tired of it:
That and releasing new stuff that, even after testing in a weakened state, was overwhelmingly NOT wanted. They release it anyway, and buff it so much it is a PITA and has so many negative aspects as to be a reason to quit playing all by itself. Of course, all of the new stuff is priced outside of most folk's reach for a mobile game, whether by necessity or choice, doesn't matter. Granted, you can sort of grind for some of it, reasonably, but Pix is deffo shady for doing things the way they did. But even in their more onerous choices, it's their game to do with as they will. If they choose profit over quality and customer loyalty, that is their choice. It will devalue the brand, more-so than it already has, over time... but as of now, they must be getting enough back to keep going as they are. *shrugs*
And of course, what makes the medicine hardest to swallow for me... they allow all of those changes in an MM that allows the money making, now "prestige-able", new stuff, to get all the way down into Bronze. Not at normal levels, but fully "prestige-d." The "fix" for that... LQ... punishes the folks who drop from unbalanced teams... but not the perpetrators that add too much weight to the scales to tip that balance because they easily circumvent the "punishment" and shamelessly drop.
That said... I still play when I can because the original devs made a fantastic game and built a foundation that still has something more to offer than most games on mobile devices... but as I search out and play new games and divide my time.... the play is less. They used to be my only time sink for entertainment. I'm normally simple in my game choices. Pick one then dive in. Not anymore. And my $ spending has gone from $60 or more a month to... well, I've spent a little for Au to speed up some 6 pack gear at various times... and bought one Ancile for one acct when it was offered, along with some more Au, for 10$.
Beyond that... until there is more delineation between leagues... and some proof of a swing towards gameplay balance that is actually enjoyable, I'm as dry as a well in a desert. And less and less inclined to even play. Is what it is, though.

Maybe also I slight misjudgment from me as well...sometimes when running my 1 Haechi I do get a little cocky but for good reason I normally do 500k+ damage each game in that bot alone when I play it. It's getting really dangerous for KBots now as everyone knows their weakness to tarans, Zeus and now scourge |

It's getting really dangerous for KBots now as everyone knows their weakness to tarans, Zeus and now scourge Thats the inherent imbalance with OP bots and weapons. The imbalance scales up however, as more skill is added to the equation. I hardly use my haechis for precisely this reason. It allows me to play sloppy so I get worse when using my other bots (rog, doc, jesse...) |

There is no defense against the Shocktrain you cant even hide behind cover as some 「special」 on your team will stand in the open and get hit over and over killing everyone on his team. Ask me how I know..... Now its almost every match I am seeing multiple Dash bots with Shocktrains. If you play at advanced level you will have to pay to play or like getting your 「bum-bum」 kicked over and over. You don't make much gold or silver that way Bro. |

I see maybe one shocktrain every 10 games or so and that's having multiple champion leagues in each game |

A few are trying to push patents on such an aspect. The thing is (I hate it too), but you're playing a free-to-play game. If you're a free-to-play player; you'll never be a top dog in such a game. Even if you spend a little money on the game; you'll never be a top dog in such a game. If you aren't the whale spending big $ then you are the plankton/krill they eat up. |
