Misery. The key to winning stuff from the super chest?

Once supply drops arrive, avoid the BM like the Black Death plague and it might put you out of your misery.

when supply drops hit live, I will ignore the BM for good.

Was just going to say that. Unless you're one of the idiots that actually bought keys, they are totally free. I understand the frustration of grinding out 1000 keys and not getting something you wanted.. But in the end, it was free. You were going to play those matches anyways. Take what you get, move on, and better luck next time.

Keys are as much a currency now, as Au or Ag, and your frustration is understandable.

I have won 5000 au, 5000 au and a lance from gold chests and earned components for a hover, 2 storms and nearly 1 shocktrain from gold, silver and grand prize chests.

Good for you, only things I have won is a Gareth from a gold chest and a scourge from a super chest. Both are gathering dust in my hanger

Don't pin your hopes on the supply drops. It just dropped off the release map and may drop off again since no BoT :-). And when it drops on you in the game it may contain a big fat red carrot.

I seen a SS of the Dreadnought map and had to do a double-take cause it looked like BoT

I have faith in Pixonic and I trust that they don't screw up something so simple as supply drops.

If it doesn't force me to spend any RM, then I'm in and I'm aware that this a tactic of Pix to keep the player base.

However, if they can manage to pull this off right, they might actually be able to pull in more players.

Supply drops are going to be crucial for F2P in the long run.

Well explained post T34, however, I truly believe that the SD system will keep the F2P players at bay and stay longer. F2P outnumbers the whales and without F2P players the whales will get bored with no one to play with.

warrobots.net/en/posts/165:
-Rewards include Silver, keys and components.
-Rewards are NOT random.
-Supply Drops contain a fixed amount of Silver, Keys and Components based on your league.

I'm assured by Pixonic that I can stick to this game longer without needing to spend anymore RM so I can only hope that they can do what they say. Acquiring components solely through BM isn't going to guarantee to get me what I want since it's a form of gambling unless I pay straight up with RM.

I don't like to pay for overpriced things that aren't worth their actual value, it's like buying a $300 toy to end up throwing it away when I have no use for it anymore or get bored with it and only to regret it later on.

I know the Haechi isn't actually worth $300 (Pix's BS way of overpricing stuff), but around $50 sounds like a fair price to me, I would certainly buy it, many others would too by saving up their pocket money or gift from New year or Christmas Eve.

For example, a child asks his parents if they can buy him a Haechi as a gift for Christmas Eve for $300. What would they say? They would obviously say NO after hearing $300 because they know money is hard to earn and there is better stuff to spend it on like food and clothes.

So that's why I have high hopes for SD to enter the game soon.

Oh trust me, I've got my fair share of Aphids back in the 3rd Anniversary event out of gold chests hahaha!

Well hope your further tests return you favourable results!

About 30 days

Guys, a quick reality check. This is all an illusion and everyone is worse off!!! From the whales to the F2P group. There is nothing free here!! If you think you are better off and getting free stuff u r mistaken. Even with the SDs.

To illustrate my point, jump in your time machine and go back to the time of the ancilot domination. Slow and big like dinosaurs

Russel did a calculation a long time ago and if memory serves me well he came to an earnable figure of about 1000 gold a week for the average player. A Lancelot was 5000, a Galahad 2500, a Gareth 1200 and a griffin well nothing. These were top bots. Do the math and that was your earning and budget. Also in about 20 days you could max out that Galahad or what ever and job was done.

Now back in your time machine and spin back to today or perhaps even to the time of the supply drops. Makes no difference.

Today your earning capacity is slightly more with the BM gold rewards here and there and with picking up no cost components via play.

But look at what you earn today and what it buys you. A kumi is about 26k, a bulgi 28k and a haechi 32k. With RM a Lancelot was around $40 odd and now in US $ a haechi 220. Tempest was a weapon that survived from that era. Jumped from $20 to $100. Ha ha, your earnings went from 1000 to 1100. You can quibble about the numbers but the truth is v close to what's above. Collect a haechi in 3 months? Awesome, free haechi. But 6 months ago you would have already earned close to 3 lancelots. Or maybe 2 lances and 2 galas. A meta hanger! Then upgrade them and job is done. Now you have to go on a second round of upgrades.

This is like you had a job paying 100k and the CPI rose by 500% (that's about the CPI in WRs). Then you go to your boss and ask for a pay rise to keep your real income at the same level. Than he says, here you go bud, I will give you a 6 pack beer every day and you can spin for another case and if lucky you get it. Then you walk away with your extra bear and the extra 6 pack that you won on a spin wheel that he gave you free keys to spin just for turning up to work. A person who thinks is getting a good deal is nothing but a fool.

That's War Robots today and that is the exonoic tourney we are on.

PS: some mentioned previously but I am sort of very suspicious now that silver earnings have been nerfed. Now we will get it back in the supply drops. Ha ha. We will get 25% of it back. Also makes sense in the light of the "free" premiums we are getting from the spin wheels. But even that seems to be coming to an end with the intro of Jessie's and zeuses into the mix. This is the sort of stuff that will happen with the monthly supply drops. KumI first than something like a Zeus.


Edit: most are so busy looking at the supposed free stuff, red carrot collection mechanisms and how to win with the gambling mechanisms that most don't realise the hyper inflation that just took place. What a distraction. We are talking about which chest to open and Pix is laughing their heads off as they got away with inflating prices by about 5 times.

Oh, and I discovered thanks to @waggin why supply drop was postponed. Their “completely nit random” chances were impossible to comply with Apple rules :-D
