Ads button replaced the task change one. To those who unluckily have a WSP task, you can kiss your gold goodbye.

Lol pix has a real issue with adding new buttons, it’s like when team death match came out instead of adding a third button they just combined beacon rush and domination and put TDM in BR spot. Now since the ads instead of adding another button just replace the change task button. I’m sure the have other reason for doing what they do but it just looks as if they have a button shortage.

Don't let a mere button bother you. Much more bothersome things on the horizon. Hang around and watch the fun. It's not just the button dude. The lag, scam (I tossed more than $100 on my hover bot purchasing it & upgrading it,) new map (which I really hate) being the default map on most of my matches, getting toasted by the reds. Everything in this game is turning backwards. I'm starting to regret the amount of $$ I invested into this game. Time to find other means of entertainment....

Just left this on their Facebook page
"Look, guys, we get it, you want us to click the videos.
But I'm left speechless at your seemingly infinite capacity of 「fluffernutter」ing up even the smallest details of yiur game since you were bought by mail.ru.
Removing the possibility of changing daily tasks? Really?
Your attitude towards forcibly pushing the players towards doing something, no matter how ridiculously aggressive the tool chosen to accomplish it is, is beyond ludicrous by now.
People will watch all the video you may wish for to spin free bronze chests, you morons! You should give players options, not removing them for them.
Where have you done your marketing classes, at the Lubjanka?"

Ok, i'm a bit upset about this, i'm used to sitting through ads with all the mobile games I've played thorough the years, some now even, Into the Dead 2, Crashy Cats, and i don't even play those often.
But why replace a perfectly good 2 task replace chance a day? It's weird, i'm not saying i don't like it, I'm playing the ads as i type this and it's doing my task progress for me, you can watch up to 3 ads (Debatable, i only tried it once), but after that it insists you go battle before you do it again, which is fair i suppose.
it's just... WEIRD! It's such an alien concept to me, i'm used to reading my tasks and whispering myself my directive as i enter battle "Capture, Damage, Liberate" so i actually have an agenda to act like i do in-game.
I'm on the fence on this, It's odd because i changed my tasks a few minutes ago, i'm not a big fan of "Do this all in one round" tasks, so i got rid of it, but i saw this thread, checked back and they're gone, poof. Maybe after you run out of task changes it switches to ad mode? I need to test this further i think...

Well, at least you can instantly finish the task by watching a single ad.

The message is clear - "premium currency is going to be harder to get, but don't worry guys - we have all these new exciting promo offers for gold! Now you'll get more gold for every $ spent so it's a good change right? Oh unless you are a f2p then... yeah, the door's this way".
I think they realize that the game is old and it's slowly dying so they are turning it into a typical modern cash grab to milk this old cow as much as possible. The cow is gonna be dead in half a year anyway right?

The point is that the 150 WSP task is bogus: a normal 30 Au task allows you to buy 250 WSP with 5 Au to spare, if you so wish, or save for the component exchange or to buy, say, an orkan.

Played two ads - they added 14 each to the task (took me from 11 to 25 to 39). Got the task out of the way, but a bit of a waste and who wants the wsp reward anyway? Gold tasks are much better.

Well, at least you can instantly finish the task by watching a single ad. You need three adds to complete one daily task Edit: seems some tasks take 3, and other tasks just 2

Or if you run out of replacement points you simply wait 'till the next day to change it. That way you guarantee a minimum of 30 Au challenges. Now I can't do that anymore.

If you don’t like the WSP task, don’t get the reward even it is done, just leave it there. I have never seen 2 or more same task in my daily task list.

I don't mind. I get that "win 2 games with squad and don't quit" task today. I always change that out cause I don't really squad much. But today, I played 3 games, watched 3 vids, and boom, 30 gold. Easy peasy. Of course it could suck for some people if you get the WSP task, but come on, 150 helps when you're saving up for components, and watch a few vids, and boom, you get 150 WSP!

Well i looks like in certain cases this is actually better than just change the task and in others worse. Not too bothered actually.

Pixonic quietly shaving more off the abilities to earn au. Take your measly wsp earnings and convert it into components like a good minion

Every game I have that has ads in it, I click the ad then put the iPad down and go check mail or something on my phone for 30 seconds. A bit of an annoying waste of time, but less annoying than actually watching those drivel spots.

I agree with the thread. Pix is capitalizing on cash as is its ONLY goal. We've known this and it will not change. Typically, if I can say that now that enough of these mobile apps have risen and fallen, the cow dies is sold and resurrected by another who starts the fair to unfair cycle again.
Best options are to attempt to understand your foe and act accordingly to your own benefit. I.e. 'What's in it for me?" Pix actually has made it easy to get additional AU. Taken away the fun in going after daily activities which I actually liked WHICH does detract from spending time in the game so there is a cost. But like Danny Linguini stated you hit the button and walk away an actual match takes up to 10 minutes if it runs it's course. This is 30 seconds and you progress the task. 90 seconds and you have won the task however ridiculous.
Tactic like snk stated is to simply leave ANY WSP task in place FOREVER. It will not repeat, you have 4 other slots and if you EVER need it, it is there.
Pix gets paid every time that button is hit like many of you have correctly stated so of course they are going to force you to hit that button. Especially with BoT launch only 1 day away Nov 25th. Pix will very likely see an immediate down turn of 30% or more. Some will play both others will abandon but investment will cease. Whales will want to focus entirely on grabbing advantage in BoT the rest will go to be in a temporarily clean environment with higher ethics. (How long that lasts who can tell.)
But I digress my point is: Understand your enemy, exploit his weaknesses for your own benefit and know your own point of when to quit the war.
Happy Hunting everyone...

Ah... Thank you for the update. My outcome predictions do not change it just means that Pix has a momentary stay of execution. Imagining a call from the Governor's office just before the purp gets zapped in the electric chair.
