My hangar has been taking an absolute beating the last week and a half, been in Gold ll and had, previously been doing well getting close to the average of 3 kills per game and creeping up to 58% win rate, then came disaster.... Down to 2.6 and 34% War Robots .... Ouch. Out gunned, out played. Going to see how long it takes to ride it out. Bit don't think I'll delete the account, I'm only a part timer anyway. Anyone else had a tough week? Only ran a couple of matches on my Gold II Smurf account last night. One match, I'm thrown in with Masters on both sides. MM needs some tweaking if Gold II players are being thrown in with Masters. I've heard such stories from FB and Amazon players, but this was Android, where the player base is supposedly much larger. Needless to say, I didn't last very long. One player with a ?poo-poo?train fried my Gareth like a mosquito on a bug light. I'm seeing a lot more of a spread in all the matches I play, lately, as well... that, and the ones that are in my league are so much higher averaged weapon and bot levels that they might as well be a higher league. I just hide, flank, ambush, and retreat more. Lower scores... but it's quite satisfactory to kill level 12s and Mk2s with level 8 weapons...  |

I see the shiny beacon and feel the need to cap it. I've seen videos where adriannnnnn and other players don't feel the incessant need to cap beacons, but watch the beacon bar to see if they need to go cap one. For the most part, for the viewers' sake adriannnnnn tries to keep the game going as long as possible. Me, I always feel the need to go after the beacon. I keep promising myself that I'll sit back and use cover fire while others impale themselves trying to cap beacons, but I just haven't been able to do it. I continually mech out early, sometimes even while playing with caution. When ?poo-poo?trains are about, you're collateral damage even though you're safely behind cover. That's the really crappy thing about ?poo-poo?trains. But mostly I mech out because I'm an idiot, and can't seem to do anything but throw every single bot at the pretty shiny beacons. Sometimes my efforts win matches, but quite often not. |

I save that title for a Punk I know in my clan, on the Android side, and for another straight up Smug player that we are blessed to have as another member on the Android side. I have learned a lot on this account (the iOS acct that I referred to in that post you quoted) and in playing 6 pack with one of the players just mentioned. Basically, when you seem to be dealing with OP enemies... your first priority is to try and turn the odds in your favor... and the ONLY way to do that is to have a partner(s). That doesn't mean you pair up every time... you may have to be a "surprise" partner and use your teammate as bait... but turning a 1v1 in to a 2v1 can even out weapon and bot discrepancies. BUT, I stress this... as it was the best advice I have been given on how to win vs how to score well... YOUR TEAMMATE IS WORTH MORE THAN YOU. Unfortunately, you can't pick your teammates on a random match and you could be paired up with straight up rocks. It is only then that I let them be bait... but if you get with some good Blues, support them and defend them if they are aggressively capping... make them your beacon to protect... you will see a difference on those unbalanced games, as long as it's just 1 tanker or whatever that is causing the issues. A team of OP players or tankers that are playing with squad tactics will roll over most random seals... nothing to do about that. But yeah, I get ya... I'm kinda like "Dog" on that movie Up when it comes to beacons if I am not actively trying to be a good teammate, myself.  I mean, sometimes you have to do what you have to do and a suicide beacon cap in BR may be called for. And, sometimes, ya just have to go down in a Blaze of Glory because... AWESOME.  IMO, YMMV |

My apologies about my post last night. I blame the scotch, I was feeling a little extra feisty. Look, I get it. I have four Android accounts myself for similar reasons. But this entire forum is full of whining about the pay-to-win scheme. Old hat, people. Get whatever kind of enjoyment you can out of the game, or move on to another game. It's pretty simple. The game is what the game is, and Pixo isn't going to change. Coming on here and telling everyone "I QUIT!!!1111eleventyone" isn't going to change anything. Fine. Then let's all stand around holding hands and, I guess, drinking scotch if that's now a valid excuse for behaving like an ?poo place?, hold hands, proclaim how great Pixonic and this game are and sing kumbaya. No, sorry, but I'm pissed. I enjoyed this game for what it once was, and even supported it, and for my time and support they took the game that I once enjoyed away from me. If I didn't see everybody else here ?female dog?ing about the same things, I'd think I was the only one experiencing the misery. So no, sorry, we're not going to just sit down and shut up. I'll give ya something to hold onto, but it probably won't be my hand. I know you're mad. I just don't really care that much. And neither does Pixonic. -Which is my point, ultimately. Pixonic. Doesn't. Care. I've played a lot of games over the years, and a lot have dev teams that read forums and listen to their players.
Pixonic isn't one of them. So what's the action item here? Exactly nothing. Either enjoy the game, or quit the game. But coming on the forums and crying a river opens yourself up to buttholes like me that will make fun of you for caring so much when Pixonic obviously doesn't. |

I mean, sometimes you have to do what you have to do and a suicide beacon cap in BR may be called for. And, sometimes, ya just have to go down in a Blaze of Glory because... AWESOME. IMO, YMMV Funny you should mention teaming up. I was just in a match where I was in my Kumi on DC, and a Haechi came along side of me. We more or less capped beacon B at the same time. I let him head down to Beacon C with me alongside, ready to jump under his Ancile if need be. At beacon C, between the two of us, we were able to take out a Haechi and a Leo. I was able to shelter under his Ancile, and still offer my two Orkans to assist his three Orkans. I then made a strategic error. I thought I could flank a Kumi that we were both stalking. The Kumi got me before I got him. It was a valuable lesson learned. Android MM must be getting desperate. Last night on my Android Smurf account, my Gold II bots were teamed with and against Masters. Today on the match I just described, my Android Expert III bots were teamed with and against Champions. One of the reasons I survived so long at first was that I was playing alongside a 12/12 Haechi Master. If it happens again, I won't be so brazen, and try to flank the enemy with a Kumi that's only about 70%. |

Here's a little hint, since you seem to prefer to communicate through clever memes:
And by the way, Savage is dead.

I quit. I gave up the leadership of the clan. I didn't uninstall and played one match in the last month. I can't seem to get interested again.

I'm mostly playing to get in my daily tasks and to get supply drops. I play more often on the weekends, but during the week, it's not much more than daily tasks. |

I'm mostly playing to get in my daily tasks and to get supply drops. I play more often on the weekends, but during the week, it's not much more than daily tasks. For me there is no point. Being a loyal player has netted nothing. I moved to another game. Its interesting to see the similarities and differences. One thing that would keep me there in War Robots-if there were rewards for clans. In my new game, clan leaders can award players with materials for strengthening their characters. As a result, clans are a big deal. There are whole clan activities and clan wars with tangible rewards for winning. Also, the content in the game is constantly being updated-meaning the ceiling is being raised routinely. This eliminates the stagnation of being at the top. That being said, there are also P2W clans that dominate the top. But it is not like War Robots where all the OP players are aggregated in a few clans and no one else has a chance. Further there are alliances that really do help. Every game has P2W elements. I have to say, Im not sure I've seen one as bad as War Robots. Many of my clan members have moved on to the likes of Cdxx etc. Which is basically a collection of P2W and junkies who play round the clock. Not a criticism, but observation of the reality of the game. With the removal of any real strategy or direction, I have no interest in War Robots. |

Well, I just deleted my smurf account. So that's it, totally done with this train wreck. Probly lurk around the forum for a while longer, but I don't see myself contributing much any more. Most of my posts have been 「female dog」ing anyway, so nobody's gonna miss that, either.  |

If your Fed up of getting no where on the Android server then try Amazon. It's a different game and much more balanced then android. 5 months of play to get to champs league with no component bots. Take a look at my hangar I'm reverent bow on amazon. I have bad days from time to time but nothing that iOS or android have. If I lose a game I still gaining on amazon and very rarely get knocked any. Believe me i played on android and Amazon and it's a far better game of should I say far more fairer on the Amazon server.

How did this pop up on the front page? I must have been offline and viewing the offline version of the site from 2018? This happened once before.
Edit: this isn't general. Ok

LOL...ROFLMHO...I too have felt the flatulence of campers. I too have raged against Pixie....for allowing a five...5...year old to play...and have mommie’s couch to do it on. You and...well...the rest of us...feel your rage and frustration and depression...lots of five year olds have wiped my tears and snotty nose. Mommy!!
