Ya.
I have been loving this game and rolling with the punches and the spits in the face that Pix gives its player base on the regular. And yes, i know it is very stereotypical to complain and 「female dog」 about game developers on forums. But this pilot change MIGHT just be the last straw for me after 4 years. People can only take so much abuse.
Before the judgement flies in. Yes i actually DO spend money on this game... a few dollars per month... sometimes per week. but never the eggsorbidant amounts that would net me maxed out top tier anything. Im only 5700 champ level. NOTHING tier 2. 4 actively used lvl 40+ LPs. the cost has pushed "end game competitive level" goals for me (and no doubt many others) from distant future, to probably never. gold cost increases of 3-4x higher are not only ridiculous, but the added costs to try and push them into the desired levels becomes largely out of reach. I do do not buy 100$ worth of gold in batches on the regular like some. I spend 1-2$ on gold per month when the 500-600 deals appear. that is it. outside of the rare premium deals, i really dont spend for anything else.
That said, this is the exact scenario why I never wanted to dedicate hundreds of dollars into this game... the more i dump into it, the more they will want. And sure enough, If i wanted to level up any new pilots or LPs, gonna have to pay out the nose... want to reroll a pilot for new bots? pay out the nose. I will feel much better being able to walk away and quit having only dumped a few dollars a month, than if I had spent hundreds of dollars on this game... walking away from something I would have dumped so much money into would feel TERRIBLE, and by that standard many of the big spenders just simply cannot. The psychology of it all!
Anyway, outside of my lame little rant, what do you guys think? Last straw for you? Quitting too? Now, maybe, waiting to see how it pans out?
im still undecided. kind of still waiting to see how it pans out, but leaning more towards quitting time... *shrug*

Considering. But anything they do to completely kill the game helps me leave too. I’d rather watch the trainwreck until the end than quit, but that’s just me.

At some point there will be the straw that breaks the camels back - is this it? Only time will tell. As long as game stays enjoyable then I am fine.

If I can make t through Ares, Leeches, and French Mings, I can make it through this pilot thing. "Darn you, Pix!"

Fair enough, everyone is much calmer and chill than I had imagined... I commend everyone for being so! Considering. But anything they do to completely kill the game helps me leave too. I’d rather watch the trainwreck until the end than quit, but that’s just me. I think i may end up in this boat. I spend so long playing, that I am considering just seeing the sinking ship and its rats escape... very curious how much longer new player moneys and endless liquid cash players can keep this boat afloat. At some point there will be the straw that breaks the camels back - is this it? Only time will tell. As long as game stays enjoyable then I am fine. True words. Unfortunately, everyone has different levels of what they could consider "still enjoyable", and a change like these pilot costs could take enjoyment out of the game for many. the only light at the end of tunnel for me so far, has been that they didnt REMOVE pilot progress forcing players to purchase what they had already achieved/leveled up. I honestly thought Pix would have done that, but luckily no. at least they leave (most) player pilots in the xp spot they were already in.

Not for the new pilot system.
The fact that every single bot in the game can jump now bothers me greatly. I saw a jumping Hellburner today. Yikes!!
Also I fear Hawk could really break the game.

Also I fear Hawk could really break the game. Isn't that odd, I thought the Hawk was more "meh" than scary, but, it's a largely uninformed opinion on my part. Let's see how things look on the live server. I hope you're wrong.

Quit? Probably not. I’d say maybe play less, but seeing that 1-2 games a night is already about all I can stand lately, I don’t know if that’s possible. I’ve just about stopped the $1 gold offers unless they tie a really juicy free enticement to it. Next to go is quit watching ads altogether, which is already a major chore since 6.0 (can’t wait to see how 6.2 ‘improves’ that experience, too).
It will probably be a combination of things, of which the new pilot system is just one more straw in a seemingly endless hay field. The game is barely playable since 6.0; if 6.2 makes it any worse, that will most likely be the last straw.

I just switched most of my bots to legacy with no modules. With the exception of my Raven and Hover that will still be partaking in my descent. Screw the meta. ?

I probably won't quit but at the same time, I barely play for one hour per week. Seems like Magic Robots isn't the game for me anymore lol.

-broken targeting, wont stay locked when using manual targeting...
-pilot AU costs, increase 3-4x...
-pilot AU skill rerolls, increases 3-4x on TOP of initial manual selection, then required AU to RELEVEL the same skill slot... (MAKE SURE TO SELECT SKILLS BEFORE YOU LEVEL A SLOT!!!)
-pilot AU skill random rerolls, increase 3-4x, no longer cost effective to gamble...
-2x OP bots on the way...
-green crack spammers get to jump/dash with any bot...
Ya... the more we are finding out about the changes, the more I am utterly deflated in motivation to bother playing. Enjoyment of this game got sucked out of the room in one fell swoop. I was already at only about 1-2 matches every other day, think i may just stop playing matches for the most part. I am going to passively play, cycle my ads and use them to slowly do upgrades, etc. But active games? nah. until they address this outrageous pilot cost change, ESPECIALLY the skill re-selection of maxed skill slots forcing to spend AGAIN To re-level is outragious, UTTERLY stupid.
These changes are not just a spit in the face, but they may as well tell people to their face "I do not respect you, I do not care about your enjoyment of the game, I use you purely for wallet drain, and maximizing profits while we still have people that give us money" ... additionally "you are a sheep that I can string along into giving us cash through underhanded pay/reward systems, and further implement things that force you to pay AGAIN and MORE for things you already have".
I feel like an abused/battered girlfriend over the last 4 years having made excuses for Pix over the years that kept me playing and self blinded to how bad they treat me (the playerbase). jeebus.

I will just keep playing. I don't really care all that much what Pix does to try and make more $$$. I just like to play the game. I am in and out of Champs... sometime I am kicking some serious butt...but there are times when I cant even get out of the spawn area. I just want to build a few bots and kill a whole lot more. Spending money for pixels is basically spending money for nothing. Just remember, if you spend real $$ on this game expecting to "win", there is someone out there spending even more $$$ to make you lose.

Pix seems to have a competition going on internally...the point of which seems to be trying to make players quit - or at least cling to that razor-edge without letting go and falling into oblivion.
I’m never more than a game or two from quitting. War Robots is on a VERY short leash with me, used up all their credit, they did, and are running on fumes. If it weren’t for BoT, I’d’ve been gone in May...but BoT has made me a different pilot, I think a better pilot, in War Robots.
I DO NOT THINK THIS MAKES ME A GOOD BoT PILOT. It has made me a better War Robots pilot, that is all. But that has fundamentally changed my relationship (ie, patience) with the game.
Will any of the current bull push me farther away? Very possibly, but so what?

Seriously... more people have spontaneously made that connection than any other analogy, even on this forum.
Just an observation... carry on...

You've clearly never met or understood a battered woman if u think these pilot changes are anywhere near equivocable.
That being said, pilots? Meh. The only people who would complain about this r ppl running LPs.

I think the point is that Pixonic/War Robots is a 「dookie」ty roommate/partner/coworker, no matter how you slice it. Not totally unlike cats, BTW: we typically put up with behaviors from cats that would have us demanding to speak to the manager if we âreceivedâ them from people.

‘the cost has pushed "end game competitive level" goals for me’ - lol, end game, whachu talkin bout end game? And competitive? I don’t think that’s what this game is about anymore I used to get really frustrated by this game too but then something happened, I got a new #1 game: Sky. It’s not a fighting game so probably won’t entice many here but if you can find something else to be your main interest then like others have said this just becomes a silly game that’s fun to fart around in. The power and cost inflation, even bugs, don’t faze me anymore from part acceptance and part Sky.

$300 dollar Bots.... i survived, plus i startef Playing when the Gep Age was in Full Swing.
yes people were actually Paying $300(some had Full hangars) just to have a Leg Up on everyone. back then i actually Lucked Out and Won a Haechi right before Components Rolled out.
Pertaining to Pilots, i just Dumped all and decided to go "AI" for all my Bots.

I quit. The upgrading/caring about pilots part. It joins the: not caring about the meta Not using active modules Not using boosters Not caring about the leagues Not caring about the outcome of matches... much. Still working on that one.
