Official News on Change in Queues.

Alright. Hot news off the press! Hot news!

Hotfix for invisible resources/Black Market issue is in the works, and will most likely be applied tomorrow.

If you're experiencing it now, try switching your device's language to English.

Pursuer will be in the hotfix too

Stay tuned

Nerf. Typo in patch notes. Already fixed.

Actual should be(and is now)
2325 -> 2215 (per charge)

Bump, because I don't see them in the link you posted @why?

Tankers are being dealt with. Seems legit...

If you're connected with PIXONIC in any official capacity then why don't you just peruse these forums and take a gander at all the anger Random has created? If not then the rest of this will be meaningless to you but heartfelt by myself and many others.

When we open the game we want to be able to pick the game mode/s that WE want to play. Not be forced under threat of LPQ for not enjoying or wanting to play the mess that PIXONIC decides to drop in our laps. I HATE all three of the newer modes. I do not EVER want to be forced to play BR, TDM OR KOTH for ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. I endure it while squading only if I am not the squad leader. I stress ENDURE, not enjoy. PIXONIC cannot force players to like or enjoy their new game modes. Attempting to do so has nearly crashed the game into the ground and buried it.

I no longer play on the regular Android servers anymore because I will NOT be treated like poo and have the game rewards withheld from me just because I cannot stand playing the game mode/s that PIXONIC attempts to choose for me. Screw that. I know what I like and what I do not. PIXONIC seems to care less for OUR preferences and WE are the ones supposed to be enjoying the game. And quite a few of us are very obviously not doing that at all anymore.

I'm forced to play in the Amazon servers where Domination is the most assigned match and I only have to drop out of a very few matches to play the only game mode that I do enjoy playing. But one thing I have noticed is a dramatic and steep drop in depth of the player pool there. Nearly 50% of the bots in the matches appear to be non-person droids. They do not even play as well as a rookie. They shoot willy-nilly and almost never go near a beacon. It's a giant poo on a gnarly stick is what it is. But at least I'm not forced to play that which I absolutely hate.

Two game modes only is all this game can handle and still function as a form of player enjoyment. PIXONIC should have realized this when they noticed there weren't enough players interested in certain modes to create quick matchings. Common sense is an extremely rare commodity everywhere it appears.

TDM would be fine IF the match timer was removed and the beacon bar turned into a counter instead of a possession meter. Two ways to win with the possibility that one team could with both ways. Most beacons taken and/or all opposition eliminated. And get rid of all of those damn "covers".
Those who gripe about the large maps, let them gripe. As long as it isn't dropped on them too often they should be able to get over it. Isn't that what multiple hangers are for?

And KotH is just more poo on a stick. A beacon that comes to you so you never have to move. Yeah, that was genius(sarcasm).

But that damn Shocktrain is a huge game killer also. A weapon that needs no skill at all that can eliminate an entire team in just a couple of minutes. I've seen it. Been on both sides of it except that I wasn't the one wielding that piece of poo. Nothing spoils you day like getting eliminated by ricochet multiple times in multiple matches without ever getting to fire back. I'd love a minute in a small room with the poo-for-brains that squatted that pile out of their head.
And now they're adding new two bots with built in no skill needing abilities to inflict damage and destroy bots. Just more evidence that skill is being replaced with big clubs that kill everything they touch just by mashing that big red button.

There is no way that the game can ever be turned into an eSport with those items in the game. Player skill MUST be paramount for the audience to become engrossed in it. It has to have real competition in it which the Shocktrain, Hellburner, and Mercury just do not give or allow.

To hell with all of that. This ain't War Robots or even Walking War Robots anymore. It's just a really screwed up mess. And its days are numbered so long as PIXONIC keeps with their current course of development.

Sorry for the rant but it's what I feel. And I don't see any weak adjustments here and there fixing any of it in a meaningful manner.

Mod in official site+player+content creator.

If you ask me, the result isn't predetermined.
When certain levels in league are reached, especially the end/start of one it has a high confluence of two types of players. One who are going up because they want to progress/are good enough to progress and the other who are tanking/plateuing due to skill. So, either they will be eager, good players, or not. The fact that MM is also a siding scale- meaning that people from the adjacent leagues can be roped in also plays a part in this. Sometimes you might be roped in to counter one high level player in the Red's side while the rest of reds and blues are not that skilled/powerful.

One other thing I've noticed is that if you are doing well, you'll face better competition and more challenging conditions(Which some want to overcome with new gear, but I mostly shuffle bots around, change compositions, ranges etc). There's no evil motive in it, just taking measure of skill. If you're doing poor, MM will usually give you a helping hand (while balancing you with someone else from Red). These are all personal observations since you asked for it. I'll also ask the team for a better analysis.

Are there any plans on rotating the other game modes through the separate queue? It would be nice to have regular rotation schedule every three days

Well...you're correct. It's taking us quite the time and manpower to process the tanker reports because of both their volume and to verify. There are way too many shades of gaming the system going on, so have to process them all ...*shudders* hence, doing it manually, by hand.



Sad to say, some part of that is attributed to some players reporting any behaviour they think doesn't match their standard, like reporting someone piloting an Arty Natty. Annoying, but not quite illegal.

On the contrary, a lot of the "whales" who seal-club turned out to be loaders+ Their farming involved Time-Drops, wasting matches, skewing numbers then seal clubbing to gather their Silver(Yes, we had those too, Time dropping to funnel all damage to one bot).

Give me some more hypothetical stats. I'll ask around.

7,800 victories.
Diamond 2: 2779 pts
Champion wings: 13306
LvL: 12 Inq MKII / MKII LVL 12 weaps
Bulgusari, Spectre, Haechix2 all MK2 LvL12 with MKII LvL 12 weaps.

On another note. Is Pix ever going to prevent the ability to run a hangar with less than maximum number of bots. i.e Hangar 1: 5 bots. Hangar 2: 1 bot.

I try! thanks for the encouragement needed that!

No worries. All of that is being kept track of. The Hotfix scheduled for later today is gonna fix it. For an immediate but temp peace of mind, switch the device and War Robots  language to English.

Bull?poo-poo?. Tanking is not actually THE problem. Because the problem is NOT that the Champion players can load their hangers with all level 1/1 ECU/Cossacks. We should never be penalized for wanting to play our inventories no matter what level the equipment. I've been doing that ever since I started. The "leagues" do jot mean anything to me and ranking in this game is done in a completely ridiculous manner. Screw that. THE problem is that players can LOSE ENOUGH RANKING POINTS to drop ranks in the first place. PIXONIC needs to put an end to point loss at every rank level a player attains to stop tanking. By that I mean once a player attains a higher rank they cannot move backwards, only forward. If they choose not to go forward then good for them. Locking rank doors behind players is the correct and ONLY way to properly address tanking and clubbing.
