I am somewhat new. Playing for a week now. LVL 24, 4 bots at lvl6. I really enjoy this game. I'm not a geeky kid either, I am 55year old male in California. I am a small business owner. Married with 5 grown kids. So not the stereotype gamer. I am looking forward to the improvements. I am puzzled by a few things. sometimes we can "spawn" to a location and sometimes we cant. what is the limiting factor here? I would like to see ways to earn more gold. One or two at a time takes forever to allow use for upgrades. Not really interested in paying real $$ though... Sorry again PIX. I would like to, HOWEVER, thank the PIX crew for producing a great game. I really understand how difficult it is to manage this and deal with the whiners too. Some players look at the matrix so close that they only see the limitations and not the fun. There will always be limitations and cheaters... There is no way around that. Once you fix an area the players exploit they find another way. it is the little boy and the dike scenario all over again.
I suppose after I make lvl 30 I will be focusing on weapons upgrades. I do like the workshop. it is another currency for getting bots!! I got a Griffin from that!!! Also I won a Boa which was real cool!!
Wish there was a way to buy gold from silver.. maybe an exchange rate of 1000 to 1. I suppose that would be in the players befefit more than the game... wishful thinking. It would also be nice if "gifting" wasnt limited to real $$$. Who, in their right mind, would give a perfect stranger their hard earned real $$$. this one was not thought thru well.
Play nice ya'll

Two modes that come randomly. It says what mode at the beginning of the game
Beacon Rush You can span at any blue beacon
Domination You span at one given location

Welcome RedRaider, from one middleaged California sbo to another. Feel free to ask any questions of the forum. Lots of experienced players here that can help. One tip for you is you want to hoard silver. You never have enough later in the game. Don't squander it if you can avoid it, even though it seems plentiful. The goal to get your hangar levelled up is about 500m silver. Cheers!

I guess i ahve a way to go then. I am at about 5M now. I only use it if I can buy a weapon I want or a Mech. I really want to win 1K au so I can get my 4th slot in my hanger. 3 Mechs are not enough for these battles. Guess that means I suck at "stayin' alive, stayin' alive"...lol
thanks for the info.. I appreciate the input, always.

Welcome. Yes, save for your 4th and 5th slots. Do not,spend gold on anything else. You will see a tremendous improvement with each additional slot, for both flexibility and endurance. And pixonic can't nerf a slot like they can a mech or a weapon.

Hey. I'm in Master League but I do have a smurfed account close to yours. I'd suggest a fast bot for capping so you get some gold with wins and the rest of your hangar on damage to stockpile on that much-need Ag for upgrades. In lieu of gold weapons and bots you can start saving on silver and WSP bots and weapons (tarans and magnums) which are easier to be had, and focus on saving enough gold for a fifth slot, then orkans, etc. Don't waste your gold on speeding up upgrades.
People around here are disgruntled with Pix more so because they started implementing a Pay2Win model whereas the game used to be based more on skill than whose got more component-costing gear and shoots first.
Anyway, you don't have to pay RM. You can get by using Au, Ag, and WSP gear but likely you should stop upgrading once you hit a certain league; otherwise, you won't be able/will struggle to compete against people with meta MK2 hangars--I think many F2P people stop around Diamond League.
Welcome!

Welcome! Check the age thread, it might amuse you to know there are a lot more "experienced" adults on these boards. Youre in fine company!
Try to save up gold from the daily tasks and regular play. 1k isnt too far away. This game has a lot of bots but not all will grow with you through the levels. These boards are loaded with thousands of hours of play experience and youre bound to get great advice just ask away. Finally, try to read about the different leagues and decide which one youd prefer to play in. That way you can build your hangar accordingly.

Be a glass cannon. Build up weapons,but keep your bots low level. Otherwise you'll advance up the leagues and find yourself hideously outmatched at every turn.
