I know for a fact there are currency difference's in this game,a couple of months ago the most expensive offer deal appeared for me showing £100,a friend in Canada had the same offer and with dollar to sterling conversion it should have been around £70 for me. Maybe Plarium thinks English players are all wealthy,or gullable I'm not sure which !! Back then Red Fiend recommended I use VPN when I make purchases to make it cheaper, not sure if it would work though. I wasn't even thinking about prices... that's not just Plarium though... War Robots does that, too. It may be something that is set in the respective app stores, though, and not the developers, themselves... I don't know for sure.
I was thinking about MM and the difference in player populations. I hear the Russian server is chock full of 3000SP Mortar wielders, for example, and would be great training!
I was just using my experience as an example for one reason to use an VPN to mask your actual location for various reasons. |

So, when I decided to remove someone from my Friends list, it's usually with some thought. I look at how many joint battles we've had, the last time the person last played, and squad power.
But...
This has to be the shortest "friendship" ever. I friended this person after he/she won a CPC game against me. Later on, we played a couple of back to back games together. After the second game, I immediately unfriended this person for his/her complete lack of situation awareness and for having no concept of team play. When I play solo, I do things like hunting low HP mechs, control chokepoints (can be construed as camping) and do the weave and bop out in and out of cover. But, when I play in a squad, I'm looking for opportunities for team combo plays. Like teaming up with a tank or providing fire support to keep reds in cover, or deploying my Stasis Field to cover team mates even when it does nothing for me. Anyway, this person was a complete glory hound and while he wracked up the kills and achievements, kept getting in my way. For example, the last straw came when on I think the map is Versa Annex or something (sorry, don't really memorize the map names). Anyway, there's that long fire corridor on the right from the side beacon and it's ideal for snipers to cover that lane to keep reds from flowing down into the centre beacon. I'm in my Thanos Guardian, prepared to do just that and the little bugger spawns a Shadow with AUTOCANNONS and is busy running around in circles and firing like he's got mini-guns. I couldn't get past him cause he's in front of me, and due to the games mass buggy mechanics, a Shadow can push around a Guardian. I thought, maybe I'll just wait for the idiot to run out of ammo and then he'll head for cover. Nope. While he's reloading, he goes into stealth and keeps blocking me. He finally dies, but by then I'm on reload due to all my missed shots.
After the game ended, I immediately rejected his next game invite and unfriended him. Sheesh...what a moron!

It's hard to be perfect without being on Comms... but they should at least try to keep up with what the team needs instead of playing the game like a solo player. |

I've seen those teachable moments...like sometimes I've joined a squad and the people there has played a previous game together, and one person is "chewing out" the other, or apologizing for having a camper on their friend list. The chat feature sucks in the game cause I can't type fast enough with just my thumbs with my phone in landscape mode. My thumbs just aren't long enough. Ultimately, it would be better to get these people onto this forum where I can really smack them around! JK....or am I???   |

Yeah, I’ve cut ties with a few of those ‘friends’ as well. I’m pretty judicious about removing friends, pretty much using the same criteria as you. But every once in a great while I’ve ended up with somebody who just totally rubs me the wrong way in actual game play, whether they’re glory hounds or just completely situationally inept. I ain’t got time fo’ dat. Ain’t got time for teachable moments either, unless somebody asks for the help. In fact I’ve got a couple more that are teetering right now. I usually give them a few games to redeem themselves, because we all have bad games (some of us abuse the privilege, I know); but sometimes it only takes one game to know exactly who and what you’re dealing with, and then ...  |

Ok, time to seriously clean up my ‘friends’ list. Again. Had half a team full of those glory hounds this morning. One just likes to kill stuff, spends the whole game sniping because he can’t stand being shot at going for a beacon - if he even knows what a beacon is. Usually gets most kills on the team, zero caps. Another was just the opposite - grab beacons at all costs, including teammates and their mechs. Had one push me out of the beacon circle, and out of a stasis barrier into a jav salvo. Being that I had less than half health left, I needed that cover. But his stats are obviously more important. It was my Panther, too - could have lent barrier support for the rest of the game. First guy is off my list, second guy won’t ever make it on. Now I’m off to do some more scrubbing.
It’s another one of those days where I just hate everybody.

「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is wrong with CPC? Why does no one want to play CPC games? All anybody plays is TDM - tournament or 5v5 ⦠same maps, just shoot reds - BOOORRRRRRRING. And what the hell is the point of playing 5v5 when the tournament is running anyway? My hangar is built for CPC. Because I prefer it. It works ok on some TDM maps, but I hate TDM. You either get useless AI, or you spend more time fighting with your own teammates for the one or two good cover positions. Itâs really friggin tiresome playing the same damm maps over and over and over and over. And over. Yet there are âfriendsâ who just keep pulling me into those same games. Over and over and over and over. And over. Whatâs wrong with you people!

Over and over and over and over. And over. Whatâs wrong with you people! I don't play as much as most people, so I don't get tired of TDM as much... unless I hate the map that day... but still... CPC is more fun. When I do get the rare time to really play a few games, I prefer the gameplay of dealing with beacons as well as mechs to the grind of one map all day for Tourney, too.
But to answer your question... Resources. Tourney pays out more A Coins than CPC and there are more and more squads, even with lower leveled players. Best way to win in those games is to have squadmates I guess.
At least 5 x 5 quickmatch is random.
But yeah... CPC is just more fun IMO. I think they need more maps and better rotation between the ones that they have... I have seen Patterson 4-5 times in a row, many times.
Also, I think they should expand some of the TDM maps and make them into a CPC version... Some of them, anyway.

I play cpc when I want a few quick games, especially for events like spawn a bot three times. I play tourney for resources, two or three a day usually, just so I get something from that. I also play whatever I get invited to, to help friends. And I like playing with members from here. :-) |

I win 5 games, and on the 6th one, boom, lose. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 I seriously doubt MM will allow any solo player to win six in a row before it arranges for you to be snuffed out.The best I did yesterday was four in a row,then MM made sure I was placed against the usual 3000+ SP Railgun one shot one kill brigade three times in a row as punishment. Even running as a full squad we got to 5 in a row and thought this is it,we got placed against a full A.I squad that steamrolled over us and even swamped our spawn point. I'm that frustrated I don't care if I complete this event now. |

Well, I pushed last night in TDM because I saw that the first place guy only had 1600 points and I thought: another 100 A-coins, why not? So, I finished the event, and got 2500 points in TDM thinking that this morning, I was gonna wake up and be 100 A-coins richer. Nope...that first place guy, with a squad power of 900, basically beat me by one win with 2600. So, all those tickets and all that time grinding all for 50 A-coins. Sheesh, it's just a matter of who can stay up later! I ain't gonna stay up that late!
Well, I'm taking a break from TDM today and maybe tomorrow. Just gonna let myself fall back down.

Got 6th place, 25 a coins and other stuff. Earlier I was mostly playing because I got invited. As to the 6 wins task I do well when inviting friends with high sp. If I get 2 or more we usually win. |

I'm wondering when this game does finally go global how they will deal with Tournament round closing time, possibly be linked to various servers worldwide.As it is now Western Europe finish time sucks whereas certain other countries are nice and convenient.

When they go global, I hope they put in an Open All Chests feature. I'm sitting on 60 silver chests and 50 gold chests and don't have the patience to sit there and keep opening them one at a time. Seriously, I can get carpal just by doing that!

I’d be happy if they’d just lose the tap for every individual item in the crate and go straight to the whole crate content list with one tap. What’s the point of tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap … tap … when they show you everything in the crate anyway before you can TAP again to move on to the next crate and do it all over again. These devs get paid by the screen tap or what? |

I think it’s time to take another break. After a fairly decent string of more wins than losses, I’m finding myself cussing at this game more and more again. I think the latest AI buff was the icing on the cake this time. Even if I’m winning, I’m just not playing very well and slipping lower and lower in every match’s team standings. I’ve been spending a good bit of time and resources on tanking up my gear, so the problem is quite likely me. My patience for getting through the crap games just isn’t there any more, not that it was ever much to begin with. Joining a clan has only made it worse, because I feel like I should be getting better, but instead I’m getting worse. So, for my own sanity, I think I need to back away for a bit.

Nope, not just you … I’m seeing a lot of chatter about AI. I know I’ve been going through most, if not all, of my hangar a lot more often. Of course the top dogs with near maxed hangars are all claiming they’re glad they finally have a challenge. I just find it ironic how these things always seem to happen right after I make a big addition to my hangar. I plunked down the 50 clams for a RG a few weeks ago because of everyone talking up how they melt reds. Well, all of a sudden mine very rarely melt anything. I dumped more resources into tanking up my LA thinking it was that, but that didn’t change anything. Maybe two hits on a mech with half health is good for a kill, but most full health reds are surviving three hits … when I actually hit them three times. Javs, Carbs, MRs, they’re all pretty much the same story - nothing does anywhere near the damage it used to. It’s almost funny how a full volley of anything leaves the target with enough health and ammo to take me out. It reminds me too much of my time playing W R - I’d make a step forward acquiring or upgrading gear, the rest of the game would take two. |

BigBear I play solo consistently and the MM will at some point allow you to complete the "win 6 battles in a row"task. I never sweat that one. Then again, I play more than the average pilot.

There has been much talk on the "official" discord server about the AI buff since the last server reset,of course Plarium aren't saying anything and not replying to the questions from the discord moderator's.
I am seeing where as a full salvo of my near maxed MR 8's that used to kill a red is now leaving some health no matter what bot it is.
You would think that after two years of being in Beta release they would have sorted their AI out by now.
