I havent played well over 6 months... My whole setup was 4 lvl2 Geps lvl7 Mags to stay lower tier I couldnt upgrade anything. Now since i returned, every si gle match i get wrecked. I keep playing high tier, much higher than I used to be in using same setup.. what is going on? Did they change tiers? Am I completely screwed? Did I waste all my gold ? I am still getting 2nd place but I get wrecked.. So many heavies full of mags and other gold weapons I just cant fight in lvl2 geps lvl7 mags.. Please someone help me. I want to start playing again and farm.. But I cant anymore and these were my only source of income and pretty much only decent stuff..

You are now placed in matches based on league points. Equipment level has no role in matchmaking. Q: Am I completely screwed? A: Yes, but so is everyone that doesn't have a 12/12 hangar of gold heavy bots Q: Did I waste all my gold? A: Yes

Honestly, and I am not gonna sugar coat this, you are going to hate what happened to the game as you knew it. It has changed a lot, and the era of Mag Geps has evolved into league scoring and damage ability match making. On the other hand though, there is a new appreciable level to the game that can be enjoyed with the right attitude and desire to compete.You will have to pretty much discard your old hanger and start leveling competitive setups which can be found here in many threads...
All the best.

I wonder if you might be better off starting a new account. At least that way you will be getting the gold for level advancement and can start building toward good current game hanger with possibly less pain.

Best advice I can give is look through your inventory and see if you have any medium or heavy bots you may have leveled up in the past and take your weapons off your gepards and try that. The Leo is a tough bot stock and you can put Magnums on it that you already own along with a Thunder and have a decent bot for relatively cheap.
Sadly, The game is nothing like it was when you left. If you want to continue to play I suggest you get used to losing often. 40% to 60% win rates are pretty standard now if your playing in your proper tier..

You can recover but it will take time. I to had a gep hanger with weapons lvled to stay high bronze/low silver.
It will take two-three months, but if you have medium/heavies or shield bots in inventory, you can compete again.
I have been lvling up a leo, griif, carny (actually bought that since new mm) and two brits. Have then to lvl 8-9 and weapons to the same mostly. Starting to have a measure of confidence again.

The mag gep is pretty much dead. It can't survive trading fire with the heftier hangars that are normal now. In fact, full mag gep hangars were part of what pushed Pixonic to overhaul the matchmaker. The only thing resembling the old bronze tier you played in the very lowest leagues and you'll still see heavies there.
If you just came back after a long absence, you probably got sorted somewhere in Silver league. On Android, that would be like dropping you in a shark tank. Lvl 2 geps are very fragile and the lvl 6-10 weapons on your foes will pop you like a balloon unless you are great at grabbing cover.
You're going to lose a fair bit until you get down to a manageable league, probably somewhere in bronze. Toss some aphids or pinatas on a gep or two and bench the rest. Dust off your pattons, leos and griffins and give your magnums new homes. The Ag heavies and whatever wsp bots you have are your friends.
As others have mentioned, when you get to a 40-60% win rate, you'll have settled into your new league. The more you win, the more you climb in league and the tougher your toes get.

Ahhh I thought high(er) level equip on a full Gep hangar was a Gold Farming+clubbing setup?
Forgive me if I am wrong, but is OP a seal-clubber?

At least your Geps are low level. The Mags are still viable as noted. Get battered but get your silver. Griffin is still the solid Ag bot and getting to a 6/6 DB is obtainable in a few weeks.
Farming techniques are still in flux but you are never gonna get back to the 10Au that you had been getting with your MagGeps. You may be able to go with a beacon capping hanger to still get the 5Au bonus.

About the only thing you can do is try to salvage the situation. If you have a little gold or just happen to have a couple Orkins lying around I'd slap them and some aphids (again if you own any in the background) or Pintas on a Griffin. Throw the rest of your mags and a Thunder on a fleet of Leos or all Leos if you don't have the Orkins. Having a 5/5 DB Griffin and a few lvl 5 Leos with lvl5? Thunders and lvl7 mags isn't great but you should land on your feet and do okay after you are done free falling to where that hanger should be. After you stabilize start working towards a hanger with a Orkin/Pinta Griffin, a mag/Taran Griffin, one of the Leo (would prefer 2 but you only have four slots). And maybe a Natasha with either Pins/noashorn or Malot/noashorn. It will not be great but will start you on track to get a hanger that is competitive in the current meta. If you want to leave one Geapoard in as a beacon? capper in the short term go for it.

Shouldn't take too long to lvl up a Gep. I'm bouncing between high silver - low gold with an Aphid Gep at lvl 8... Not that I would use more than one though.
Team up with bigger bots. As long as you're helping kill the red they are fighting, I'm sure they won't mind the support.
Get good at using cover. No more walking up to a bot blasting away.

I don't think it's screwed. You just keep losing for a month and you'll see the better end.

The game is nothing like the one you left, if you're able to maintain 2nd place that's extremely good.
In the new system you'll need to adapt, Gepards are not the easy ticket to victory anymore, instead diversified hangars are the key.

Short answer - they removed the loophole you were exploiting. Build a real hangar. It'll get better.

I started playing 6 months ago. Game is so different today. Clubbers got their just deserts when leagues were introduced, and got wrecked by Galahads and Lancelots. I heard one Rhino took down a herd of Geppers by itself lol. I no longer hear the constant droning of pew-pew-pew on the battle field. R.I.P. 2017.

If you have loads of upgraded Mags and don't want to lose the money you spent on them, you should :
* Buy a Gareth, put it one Mag and add a Taran => That's the closest thing to the old MagGep you can find. * Buy a couple of Leo, put it three Mags and a Thunder => Six Mags used (seven including the Gareth). * Buy a Griffin, put it two Mags and add a couple of Taran => 9 Mags used
There. With only 1'250 gold (that I'm sure you have considering you clubbed) and roughly 10'000WSP / 6M Silver, you have four very competitive setups, all while reusing 9 Mags.

vitoCorrect - your clubbers-club hangar is outdated. We all get wrecked now and the better we play the worse it gets; unfair matches, tankers, etc. As an example, my avg. L8 hangar goes against L9...L12 most of times and battles are seldom 6vs6. Newsflash good sir: you see a game change that punishes most players (at least most of the ambitious/skilled ones with non maxed hangars) came in a form of a ?special?ed matchmaking system. Major reason for this atrocity to come to existence was fact, that there were times when a big population of *ekhmmm* less-than skilled guys, running the 2/7...1/12 full gep hangars kept damaging the game by exploiting newbie players in totally unfair match conditions. Yeah, "satisfaction" of 100% win rates is no longer and option for you.

I don't get the "I am getting crushed; I still get 2nd place" mentality. How was the game supposed to sustain you always or alnost always getting first place? There were 11 other players in all those games. Were they just supposed to "get crushed" but not you?
In the new system you can still play your geps. Your league standing will adjust. You'll need to adjust your expectations of dominating others and getting far more rewards than the average player.

vito...I can't say I like your OP sadly. Do you really want to play War Robots again or do you just want to club defenseless players to increase your own benefit? If you're really looking to play again I suggest two options... #1 Follow the guidance listed above by many knowledgeable pilots as far as your current hanger options/upgrades. #2 Start a new account and get the new player package for I believe $5.99 which will get you the Silver and Gold over 30 days to build a decent hanger and than upgrade from there. From what I've read on the forum/experienced the old days of seal clubbing/farming have been nixed and you need to raise your game. Good luck in your endeavors!
