It’s not just match making but also the event boxes are rigged to screw you up for your hard work!
There used to be more joy in winning stuff even if you lost 60% of your matches but this is no longer the case since those fraudulent bingo boards were introduced.
Whatever your choice know that it’s Pixonic’s fault

I can totally understand all of these and suffer them too. This morning was a good example of loads of these problems all at once. Almost a compilation of Pix's screw-ups, lack of interest and care for the game or player base. Logged in, watched 3 ads, for no reward, as after watching each one, the game crashes, forcing me to have to reset FFS (this has been happening for months!). Then, I get to my first game, on Carrier. Get shot through the walls and then encounter the 'you can't spawn next bot' problem, another old bug. I'm already close to quitting, but I play a 2nd game, only to join the game at 9m 42s with ALL the beacons red, a Hacker In our spawn and my bot didn't touch the ground. So, made my complaints and have quit for the day, I'm not wasting any more time on it. It's sad and pathetic they cant fix things and don't care.

This level of tragedies would be hilarious if it weren’t so damn frustrating. It’s like any comedy where things just keep going wrong and it is supposed to be funny. Only it’s semi-real life and it can throw us into a rage. I’m not belittling the condition because I know it is real, but I have a PTSD relationship with this game right now. My rage was so severe the other day, I really cannot go in alone. I kinda want to play today, but I can’t bring myself to go in solo. I suppose it is a good thing in a way…

Oh well. That'll be a wrap for me folks. Third iPad in several months. Yes, I have apple care, but I won't be replacing it. It'd be like a crack addict who smashed his crackpipe in a rage, felt a glorious glow of freedom from the addiction, then went to the store and got a replacement. Many of you are old enough to know what G.I. Joe said... and I've always known games are not good for me. This is the exit I needed for the other half of the battle. That is just an exit from the game. You'll likely still see me here and on discord. And I am going to hold out hope that the new ownership rights the ship. If I see signs of that here, I may swoop back in sometime in the future. Doubtful because I clearly cannot engage with games in a healthy way, but who knows. I don't have may other vices...

GO HAVE A LOT OF BEERS!!! dont even think about this game for a bit. take time off for yourself sir.

Yeah man, I don’t blame you for having enough of things after literally loosing your device to this forsaken game! I hope to see you around, you gave us some good laughs and memories! I really gotta say, thanks a ton for starting the Time Drops, that was a genius idea. We all had thought about it I’m sure, but you were the one to actually do it, so hats off to you for starting what is essentially a second 6 Pack at this point! It has done wonders to increase my involvement in the community and interest in the game in general. If anything, we’ll remember you for that, so take solace that you left a lasting impact somewhere in this dumb little game. I hope you don’t completely regret your time in the game. Obviously it was not the most enjoyable or healthy experience, but surely there were some diamonds in the rough, right? Cherish the good memories, because they are the ones worth keeping. I hope to see you around, commander!

Well then!
That's one way to quit
Myself, yeah, I haven't played a game in a month now, mostly because I've been playing my oldest love of all time; Asheron's Call. It went dark in 2017, but about a year ago, some truly dedicated folks revived it via emulator.
I've been lost ever since.
But I'll do the same, I'll visit discord and chill, maybe even play a round or 2, but yeah, Asheron's Call forever!

Obviously it was not the most enjoyable or healthy experience, but surely there were some diamonds in the rough, right? Cherish the good memories, because they are the ones worth keeping. I hope to see you around, commander! I still love the game, and it is because I love it too much that it goes toxic for me. I tend to go all the way in everything I do and this game can take you all the way in (you've all seen my hangers - its obscene). However, I am a stickler for fairness and there are so many ways this game does not enable fairness and often directly rewards unfair advantages. I am 100% OK losing in anything if the odds of winning were truly even (gear, player capability, etc.). I know that is no easy feat, but Pix understands they can benefit from unfair advantages and to a large extent, exploits that. Even more, I loved playing with you guys and if I had the ability to limit my playtime to only with friends ,I'd likely have been able to stick it out. But per the above - I tend toward toxic relationships to gaming. I do not regret the time in the game at all (maybe a little bit on the money spent, but I've spent money on dumber things in my life - money is just a thing. The experiences I had with you and others here were worth the price, and it is not even a consideration). Thanks for the Kudos on the Timedrop. I plan to pop in to talk trash now and then and you are all welcome to use the discord whenever you want - it is why I set it up and I am not on a Toxic rage destruction campaign - my iPad already took that wrath

As others have said. Thank you for the time drop. I very much look forward to Wednesday and Saturday nights for sixpak. And also Fridays for time drop. As a family man, I don’t get to go out like I used to. So this gives me something to look forward to all week. Very much appreciated bro!

It definitely sucks but itâs probably for the best big picture⦠hopefully the new ownership does decide that having a healthy cash cow is smarter than having a sickly one full of hackers, rigged events, lag, janky targeting, bull「dookie」 matchmaking, broken hitboxes, a buff/nerf cycle tuned to $2k/month, and *checks notes* 「fluffernutter」ing MK3 tokens⦠And when that day comes and/or we find a game that doesnât suck, I hope we ride again!

My blood pressure definitely doesn't do well during War Robots play What bothers me most by a wide margin is just today my son told me he is afraid of me and it is 100% because of my game rage. I am a great dad to my kids and I'm not physical with punishments. I trend toward stern, but fair and principle based. I never considered that when I am screaming at my iPad that my kids would get freaked out. In retrospect, it just shows how much of an idiot I can be - hearing your dad rage-scream, regardless of reason, would be scary to a pre-teen. And my son is definitely on the sensitive side, so I have some work ahead of me to rebuild our relationship. That is a strong enough reason to walk away and would have done so if I didn't rage my iPad into a new shape. You all know I've been nothing but transparent here with you all - whether with my spending habits, my issues, my advice on the game or life. I hope by sharing here someone can learn from my lesson in advance and avoid an issue. Because of this latest development I am really going to look to move my account and will post about it in a way I hope is acceptable. I cannot in good faith come back to the game (until my kids move out )

Seeing as how I'm been disturbed by watching my kid turn into a rage monster over something that happened when gaming, I think it's very important to recognize how it looks to others when you do it. I'm sorry that you've had that lesson and I wish you all the best in mending that wound with your child. He'll get there. I don't know if his age or your opportunity supports it, but maybe get involved in something like Scouting or 4-H or another activity that enables y'all to do outdoorsy hands-on stuff together.

The game will be here, i'm just worried about YOU and the things your fam is seeing this game do to you.
