It has been said many times on this forum....many times indeed.
This time it is real. All across the discord channels many big time players, from most of the top clans, who have dropped serious coin over the years, are hanging it up or have hung it up within the last couple weeks.....at least on Android. In all the years I have been playing, I have never seen this many serious players leave at one time.
Us minnows and the FTP will only save it for so long, but if lag issues and late drop issues are not fixed, many of us will not be long in leaving either. It was a good, but bumpy road.
This game is finally dead......

This game is finally dead...... It's dead when I can't find a match in NA or EU within 60 seconds and we're far from that.
The game, given its current state, sucks. True. I don't deny that. I also had a lot more fun playing it in the past, especially after they released Pilots, so I could breathe new life into bots like Lancelot. That was awesome.
For me, the downfall was the Titans, which I find boring as I want to play War Robots and not flying bull「dookie」 robots and a lot of the new game mechanics I highly dislike. But yeah, still playing my five to maybe ten or fifteen matches per week.
Game's not dead. Yet.

You know the top dogs on Android well. Pay attention to who has dropped out of clans like GODZ and others. Some I thought would be in it forever.

I was very close to quitting after Titans. Luckily my clan brothers and I are tight. I am still around. Once we ensure that WE R will be the first clan family with 2 S ranked clans, I and others are gone.

It had a good run. To bad Pix never heeded much of our warnings, complaints, advice. Plundering a player base will only get you so far. The move to the New Economy was absolute stupidity that chased a number of fans away.
Personally, I think I have update fatigue. Too many changes, too often. The significant nerfs to prior content doesn’t help either.
Also, the advent of the Titan meta has made me realize that my component generated silver updating bots/weapons aren’t as significant anymore. They disappear in seconds. If there was one thing Pix could count on me purchasing, it was premium. Now I don’t see any reason too. Especially with Ravanas and damage resistant bots running around. I’m not getting much.
I don’t like the direction the game is going.
I’ll start spending more when I see the player base increasing.
That means Pix needs to increase the fun.
Stop chasing away players.
i think they could right the ship if they committed to balancing the game and initiating more skilled play with less pay to win mechanics. That’s just a humble opinion though.

I'll give War Robots my personal final chance with the Remastered version, as I think, that it looks and feels pretty awesome on the test server. If Pixonic continues what they have done in the past six month, at least to me it feels like the power gap and other things have widened/accelerated, the game will lose a lot of players in short time, as it's just no fun if you have one guy in a match doing 4m to 6m damage, killing 10 to 15 bots, while the rest of the team does not matter, due to 「dookie」ty match making.
Maybe things will change for the better with War Robots Remastered. If not, I have no reason left to continue playing.

You know, I'm hoping that Remastered will save things, but the pessimist in me says that, given the way pix handles incremental updates, and the bugs that come with them, Remastered has a good chance of being a dookie show.

I don't know about the end, but I am playing much less lately. Might just be normal cyclical stuff, but maybe not. The game is so far from where I started playing it: fantasy elements, monetization and all the excessive out of game maintenance clicking...

Could be good, could be bad. Doesn't matter. Playing War Robots feels like the end of a relationship. And there's other girls out there, you know.

No, it isn’t. It will be over when Pixonic notifies the community that they’re closing shop.
Just because some top players are hanging up their gloves doesn’t = the end. This has already happened before when they introduced the league system, and again during the shocktrain era....tons of people stopped playing and some once strong clans fell apart.
Despite some serious issues, many people are still playing and doing what they can, we’re told things are being worked on, and a lot of effort is being put into a remastered version of the game. These are not indications of a game closing down.
I’m also in an S clan and hear the chatter in numerous discord servers. People are fed up with game issues and of the cost to stay on top is going up. Some are quitting, some are simply done paying like they did and will just cap their hangars where they’re at, maybe occasionally adding something new, but not like they were. Some are just taking a break until stuff gets resolved. What is really going to be interesting to see in particular is the leveling of the playing field, because the cost to max pilots and the stacking of pay to play is going to prevent or drastically reduce the ability for certain clans to maintain dominance that largely comes through paying. And this is one major reason we may be seeing some people quit - if they can’t or don’t want to pay to have the upper hand, but they are attached to always having that upper hand, then they will move on. For some people, War Robots is not merely about having fun with friends, it is about being on top at all costs.
However, we cannot conclude that just because we see top spenders leaving the game that it means the end of War Robots. All it means is those people left the game.

My fault I know, but still.... start the ad, hit the home button, and open the app again, but not via recent apps drawer. boom, you can watch an ad in 2 seconds I might be in get-off-my-lawn territory, but even at 2 seconds, I've got better ways to spend my time. The War Robots UI (outside of the match) has so much in common with a digital slot machine its embarrassing. For a guy who stopped watching broadcast TV 'cause he didn't like commercials, the whole experience has really degraded. I want fewer fantasy elements, less blinking lights, and a close-enough attempt at balanced matches so that I can at least pretend my skills matter in the fight. That is not what War Robots is about. Its not even about the money. I've spent about $3,000 on flight-sim peripherals over the last two years, and could have easily spent that on War Robots if there was any kind of value proposition. #Imnotthedemographic.

hurry up bro we may beat you to that double S clan..... Android doesn’t have double S clans? Well, to be fair, WE R as a family is only just over a year old. The main clan came from the remnants of Death Row and rose to S very quickly. My clan, WE2R, started at the same time as the main clan. We were supposed to be a feeder clan and we still push guys up if they want to go, but our core has become guys who just do not take this game serious enough to do top clan squads, but still enjoy squadding heavily. It was hard to build. Until we got to A, we had to constantly deal with inactives and could only duo most days. It has gotten much better. A rank and above draws players who really like the extra benefits and has allowed us to raise our hanger requirements. WE R no merger or renamed clan. WE R grassroots grown and still young. But I do congratulate you and your clan family. Having 2 S ranks is no small feat. It really is a chore building a good clan. More of a chore than I want to do again. Right now I have too much time and energy invested in it, but once we reach the goal.....I am out.
