Will Everybody Just Stop???

And I will see your rant

and whisper back "Uno reverse card"

 Nicely done, Rorschach

If people stop calling out all the BS, players might think the game is actually in a healthy condition.

Us constantly voicing our disdain for all the crap is a constant reminder to Pix that they haven't addressed the most important issues. Us being silent is literally the worst thing we can do if we want to help fix issues.

As the saying goes "People often confuse a quiet society for a peaceful society."

This is a rant actually, about other members venting or discussing what is wrong or expressing their grievances, which everyone is welcome to do. We have established that this type of content should be held in the Rants & Revelations section, not just because it can get quite toxic, but because we wanted to create a separation between general War Robots game discussion, and discussions that are specifically venting or talking about the negative aspects. We’re not trying to protect Pixonic or hide the dark side, we’ve just given all that stuff it’s own area. And not only is there plenty to talk about, it is necessary, and as we can see from sections of the Reddit, official Discord, and their official FB page, even Pixonic encourages players to express their positive and negative views of the game, and to give them feedback. Does that mean they’ll always do what we want? ?, no! In fact, it seems in some cases they listen to the feedback and specifically do the exact opposite, often! So while I agree the game is pretty cool, telling people to ignore the issues and praising the game like nothing is really wrong isn’t going to draw a lot of fans.

If you don’t want to read complaints about the game, don’t go to that section, and don’t spend so much time looking at such posts. General Discussion and the Tips & Advice sections are where you should focus. 

??That’s a mighty big period, I’m gonna steer clear for a few days

Except for summoning.

Yeah! You guys be nice to Pixonic

We certainly all know you will Danny, you don’t need our permission, but no direct naming and slandering particular individuals in the process

Maybe nobody ever looked. Whatever the case, that type of thing is being reduced in the forum. Thx for your understanding

With the greatest of respect to you, OP, what did you expect in a 'rants' section? The mods specifically made this section for ... rants, to come to rants to complain about the existence of rants is ... well, worthy of a rant! I don't recommend that kind of thing for your own mental health. Mods have been clamping down on ranting behaviour spilling out into other sections of the forum (a pretty thankless task), so that leads me to suspect you went out of your way to read our rants? Why would you want to read rants if you didn't want to read rants? Honestly, the more I read your post, the more frustrated I got at the points you make.


'But it hurts me that you insult the game.'

Well that's a problem. It shouldn't hurt you. Why does it hurt you? Separate yourself from the game. I can tell you right now, that the game (Pix) does not give a single thought nor care for you.


'War Robots is a great game, and whatever situation it's in right now doesn't change the fact that it is the best game ever.'

You might make an argument for War Robots being a 'great' game, but I definitely don't think it is the best game ever.Far Cry 5 is far superior.


'You guys shouldn't be mad at what's wrong, you should be happy for what's right.'

Can't we be both? I'm furious at times at the MM and blatant greed of Pix, but I am delighted when I have great, fun games. I post about both, mostly positive/neutral stuff.

'At least they're not giving up on the game (unlike PvZ Heroes and a few others), which is something not a lot of games are boasting about.'

Why would they give up on the game? This is their job, it makes them money - a lot of money. I do not think this is something to congratulate Pix about. Players sticking with the game, spending money (like I do) despite the nonsense of Pix, now THEY deserve credit. ( I will happily accept credit for this.)

'They are doing their best to try and fix the lag and crashes, so don't rant about it.'

Are they? I'm not sure how you could make this claim. Not all the rants are about lag and crashes. I don't experience lag much at all on my laptop. My main problem is with the MM, DELIBERATELY designed to force absurdly unfair matches.

'Look, they are making so much new stuff ATM, so be happy with what you get.'

No, I will not be happy with what I get. I am a paying customer. This is a ridiculous argument. You just said they were trying their best to fix the lag and crashes, and then say that they are making 'so much new stuff'. Don't you see the problem there? That's one of the things people have been ranting about.

'War Robots Remastered is supposed to fix lag and make it more enjoyable, so just stick with them.'

I sincerely hope it does for the players, it looks great from what I've seen so far.

'This is not a rant BTW.'

Yes it is. It is 100% a rant, but that's fine - because this is the rants section.


'I dno't care what people say, War Robots is my favourite game and nothing you guys say will change my thoughts and opinions.'

Good, I hope you keep enjoying it. However, I suggest you stop coming to read rants if you don't want to read rants.


'Period.'

That sums up your OP - a bloody mess!

Thanks very much ... but my retirement from modship was self-imposed. I turned in my keys to the office when I took a break from the game and didn’t think I’d be coming back. I also didn’t think my very negative attitude toward the game developers would be a good look for someone on the forum staff. Not to mention it’s a lot of work. 

I don’t begrudge the mods here, they’re a good bunch if guys and I get what they’re trying to do. Things can get out of hand and the atmosphere can quickly deteriorate when the dialog is allowed to get too personal. They draw a little tighter line here than on most forums; but with feelings running as strongly as they do around this game and players sometimes venting their wrath on other players, I get why they’ve clamped down. It’s a tough balancing act between allowing open discussion and policing bad behavior — but then it always has been. 

However, this is the Rants section, and I strongly believe that people who are unhappy with where the game is and where it’s going should know who started it down this miserable path. There’s basically one guy who sold Pixonic management on this current BS monetization strategy with total lack of concern for what it would do to game play, and the resulting impact it would have on the long-term viability of the game. That directive was the single most significant event that created the environment for this wildly out of kilter power gap we’re now enjoying. The guy is on record boasting about it, so if you ask me, he made himself a target for the ire of the game’s unhappy player base. That’s quite a bit different from hangar-shaming or singling out whales for creating the power gap, and I don’t think there’s anything overtly toxic about pointing it out. 

Rollo left...Orionpax too.  Catch all your favourite washed up War Robots players on Earl's server I guess

Whats right about the game?
