how much longer do you think you have until you call it a day and let the sun set on this game?
I was thinking it over recently, especially after i read some of the newer posts. I can see how some may not see hacking, because i do see it, just not as frequent. but is that due to the match you play, or the time of day, or is it in squads or with players you know?
i have seen hacking both solo, squad, and in time drops. its not an everyday thing, but it happens. i get it. but whats it gonna take for you to throw in the towel on this game??
i ask because it seems more an more are getting fed up. even some of the old familiar faces that took a time out and have returned are all 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is going on...
so bendies was a big one, then its big brother blindies came along.... and now we have mars and its turret.... although i havent run into one yet....
so whats your boiling point and decided enough is enough??

I don't know. It feels like the wierder it gets, the more I'm drawn to showing it up with the legacy gear. It might be the masochist in me, but I'm still having a lot of fun. just in a different way

Yeah, im not spending. unless Pixo shows that they will attempt to deal with hacking and fix their own bugs im simply trying to get bang for my buck. The consitant contempt pixonic shows for the player base is disturbing.
Mars is what it is usual op release for later nerf. A poor practice but what is expected now.
Seraph bug is BS, that and the teleport bug go unackowledged and unfixed. Wrong just wrong.
Crap drop rates? I dont buy....
Icould walk away any time at this point and the future looks bleak. The way pix wants to direct their hacked game!

They have absolutely mastered riding the line without crossing it. We all get frustrated, but never quite enough to stop playing for good. I myself have taken a fair few breaks, but always come back. This game manages to always be just good enough…

i havent had the urge to up an quit yet, but i do notice i play less an less every week.
i figure new meta comes out, i will arm accordingly and do my best to piss them off. other than that, i havent hit that spot just yet. maybe its my lack of giving a damn.
we all have our moments, then the dust settles and we continue on.

For the record I'm still really enjoying morning play. They seem to be balanced matches win or lose.
Even the solo uber-hacker that turns all the beacons red and blasts around with a hellburner doesn't bother me much. it's kind of an *eyeroll* and I move on. The sublte hackers get me cranked up and if they start invading my mornings I'll call it quits. For now I'm Mr. Zero Money but I'm still riding the train.

One thing I do want to also mention is I think my community involvement definitely helps keep me in this game. This forum and 6 Pack really are great places to be, despite the state of the environment they exist in. Even during my summer hiatus, I was a regular to 6 Pack and Shawn’s time drops. I also would not be surprised if some days I spend more time in these places than the actual game. It’s a cycle almost: these communities keep me interested in the game, and the game keeps me interested in these communities. I definitely think I could have fallen off this game by now if it weren’t for the community.

I`m still enjoying it enough to be thinking that I`ll not be stopping any time soon. Although, I`ve not been playing as much of late, but, now that winters coming around again, I`ll probably be spending more time playing and less time sitting in the garden in the sun with a few beers. I don`t come across too many hackers (not obvious ones that I notice anyway) so don`t find them to be a major problem and all the major frustrations of late, Bendies, Blindies, new super OP bots, seem to pale into insignificance once you eventually get some of your own - course, now we have the new Titan Viagra thingies that are, obviously, now the new super annoying OP latest frustration.

No timeline here. My personal head canon and self imposed level caps keeps the MM ranging from excellent to bearable.
Six Pack and Shawn's time drops also play a big part in keeping it fun, especially 6 Pack. Damn I love 6 Pack.

It might be the masochist in me, but I'm still having a lot of fun. just in a different way Kind of the same. I like the challenge of competing and beating those that always seem to be 2 or 3 steps ahead with bots and equipment. The game engine is still fun if you can get past the over the top magic BS.

As long as I can keep rolling out my Rogs and Striders to meet the challenges of the pixie circus, then I will keep on keeping on. Ive been doing it so long now that it seems its my mission😂
The satisfaction of using older gear to best the new stuff is the key reason I stick around, as well as participating in this forum.

This more just to get an idea of what keeps you coming back, but also what just might tip you over the edge to walk away.
Not being a negative Nancy, just trying to find a way to keep people involved in the game.

I was nearly done until I made some changes in play and attitude. Left me clan so no more Points or Season or League pressure. No more Meta for me. Enjoying my Invader, Mender and now my Bltiz/ Magnum Otto. Dropping like a rock in Leagues but as the great George Costanza said…. “Jimmy cracked corn and I don’t care.” getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0f969772-5f0f-478f-8fc1-e74a60d078f8

Not being a negative Nancy, just trying to find a way to keep people involved in the game. I see, well to be honest I am on the cusp of deleting everything out of my hangars so I dont have any incentive to redownload this pos app. The only reason I keep coming back is addiction to those moments it works, and in this sense War Robots is no different than some of the abusive relationships Ive been in. The company are engaged in criminal activity and getting away with it, and they constantly spit in our face with nerfing our investments, making broken 「dookie」, and not resolving game breaking issues, which brings me to this. Frankly, I barely play anyways, but when I do, even though I have shared a few epic moments, I will tell you my assessment - I am astonished that I keep coming back, as the quality of the app performance itself just gets worse and worse. Setting aside the other issues, every single match I am in, and that is not even a slight exaggeration, every match I am in, there is near constant lag, disappearing targets, wasted salvos, 100% indestructible opponents, my 3.1 maxed stuff getting insta-killed like Executioner is already a thing but near full hp being the activation threshold. On top of that, every session I jump in to play the game, other frequent performance issues include being unable to select my 「fluffernutter」ing mech, being dropped in 20s late, total app freeze, I can move and shoot but nobody else is moving or 15s later suddenly everyone is moving but theyre in way different positions, or I get kicked to hangar, or app closes, all despite having a great device, perfect internet connection, and thorough troubleshooting. So nevermind the nerfs and op stuff or dual gravity amp durations or an impending Executioner module and a community manager saying straight to our face they love this module and the idea of being able to instantly nerf a decent % of another players robot, the game is near unplayable and I gotta seriously step back and ask myself 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 I am doing wasting my time with this 「dookie」 again. So honestly, my timeframe is probably within the next couple days when I get a chance, everything will get deleted so I have nothing to return to.

Sad the curiousity of the game keeps us in a death clutch, coming back to the same broken record. it’s more like a car garage to tinker and fart around in lately, especially since I’m not mechanically inclined, except for jeeps. Maybe that’s my fascination with spiders, being a multi Jeep owner my whole life.

There is more and more ‘subtle’ hacking going on that is frustrating. Many of us can tell you which clans do this. It’s the slight 20% defense buff, the immunity to shieldbreaker, the dmg boost.
I had a luch one shot, I mean one shot, not one clip, my Indra with 700k health left running 3 dmg reducers.
It’s the Sereph on the ground that 4 of us in the clan can’t dent in damage running full dmg bots.
There’s too much strange occurrences going on that make it much less enjoyable.
All most of us want is fairness without hacking.

Early Monday mornings have always been a good time for me to drop my wee bots and actually have some fun after the weekend 「dookie」 show has ended. But not today, first match had the red hacker that turns all the beacons automatically. So I punch out of that one and land in the next one where a blue doofus is bombing around the map at ludicrous speed in a hell burner, ignoring the beacons but amassing 10 kills and a loss. Never had back to back hack matches before. Timeline is adjusting

This january2023 will mark 5 yrs of playing this hot mess of a game and I think I will make it that far. When i started this 2nd account I wanted to run what I wanted to run, for the most part I stuck to the plan. Over this period I spent $500 including my old acount, so I did not go crazy on spending . As to why I keep playing I love poking holes in pixos matrix and drive the reds nuts. Case in point Hover which I have not run much until I got the new Rad weps and they are kind of rad. As soon as I tried them out on the Hover I knew I had something that will drive reds cray cray. Then I got my one and only Otto pilot haha. Specifically target Seraphs with it and kill them with it. Can you imagine the shear rage I create with a red to know that a Hover blew up their god bot. So at some point I have an entire red team try and track me down. At least I know I got their attention. At the moment not upgrading much saving Ag for Hover to be mk2/3 and weps as well. Also even though it happens less people being on the same page and getting the win ,not ever knowing or meeting such peeps in person, is kind of cool.

I cannot leave.
I don't really want to anyway, but I have too much time and money invested. I have my channel now, which could end up making me more money someday, and already gives me new content for free. I love the game, and there is a part of me that actually enjoys the cycle of new stuff, although I will be honest the Seraph meta is really taking its toll on me.
If I had to say, I'd say at least a couple more years.

All the complaints about hackers and lag are immaterial when you're playing vs hangers that grossly outclass what you're running. One way or another, you're getting smoked by the magic missiles, random 「dookie」 coming through the walls, and gear that's max meta vs your Lt. Tryhard stuff.
Personally, I'm currently entertained and throwing in more money than I should. It's a distraction vs RL which is a colossal 「dookie」show for me. It's also a decent diversion vs CODM has gotten a bit stale for now.
I just wish the MM were even marginally better and there was less of the princess 「dookie」 in the game. Pix gonna Pix, though.

I play less and engage in the forum a bit less, but I probably won’t stop until I get kicked off. I don’t play any other games and because of my gaming addiction issues, I will not start another one (I got dragged into this one, as some of you know, by my son. And as a way to engage with my kid, I jumped in hard). So this is my last gaming hurrah so I will hang on until the bitter end.

Amazing how it sucks you back in time and time again, isn't it? This is my third or fourth cycle of going in hard, losing interest, making a smurf, losing interest, quitting for the next game. Having recently rediscovered some of my old old accounts (including my very first hangar with Foxy Boa and a Mk2 Ancilot), I am now playing an old hangar in low silver league with Strider, Stalker and Rog - using non-magic wpns, only blue modules and nothing higher than Mk1.6. Having a blast - much more so than the 'main' account in low champs. So timescale? Dunno, when I get bored of this old (non-meta) hangar, I guess.

Much as I try to find new ways to engage with this game (my anti-Meta hanger) I find myself coming quicker that my interest wains. Fair games are becoming fewer and fewer. Honestly, If not for this forum (YOU guys are my clan) I’d be done. Anyway…

I definitely slowed playing by a lot and quit spending .. maybe a few buck on a deal to keep the vip.. other than that, hardly anything... they killed the titans.. Pixonic sucks a*ss ..shot at a seraph three full rounds with murometz blinders and could not kill it, i stayed with it just to see if i could actually kill it.. Pixonic truly are a bunch of as*sholes!!
