So, I'm getting more and more fed up with Plarium's monetization schemes. Most lately is releasing new OP stuff that they keep behind a pay wall for months, and recently a Specialization Spree that wants me to kill 250 mechs in 3 days. Screw that. I have work and I have a family.
I'm switching my upgrade plans. No more scout hangar. Once they "discount" to move implants is back, I'm switching my pilots around so that my main hangar has as many legendaries as I can fit - ie, swapping Rosa out for Stefania on my Paragon for DL16.
I'm done spending money on this game. They are inching ever so more towards War Robots infamy and I'm just tired of it.
Anyway, yeah, I'm sorry, this is a rant of sorts but I was looking forward to building a Scout hangar and the Redeemer fit that very well because of it's speed. But TBH, the thought of waiting and waiting for it to be reasonably priced and then begin the whole cycle again of leveling and ranking it up just fills me with dread.
So, I'm just marking time now til the next mech game comes around the corner.

I am definitely getting tired of the p2w bull「dookie」. Been getting smacked down all this week when I match against humans. It's kind of infuriating when you keep outmaneuvering them but they have all maxed pilots and gold implants and can just outpower you regardless. I am trying to get myself in a philosophical mindset about how at least they're adding more players into the upper ranks and how I'm sure everyone with a weaker hangar than me gets annoyed when I win, etc, but so far I haven't achieved any zen. Not a good sign that the vlog didn't mention the Progress Path at all. It was supposed to get "fixed" this winter so f2p can finally get their hands on the "new" gear. Like MR12s which came out a year ago...
The good news is if you hold off on spending you'll start seeing the super-discounted offers for new mechs pretty soon after they roll out. I got several 2-Star mechs for $2.99 or so. Weapons are where they tend to hold the line on price but in mechs they're more flexible.
You have a really good hangar, so maybe just enjoy it and save up for a while. Pilots are definitely where I'd be putting in the resources, but no it isn't exciting. Just an idea but how about tinkering with lesser weapons? If I had the Coins I'd be upgrading my Pulse Cannons and Autocannons and trying to finally crank out the Accomplishments.

I did think about leveling up some of the early free weapons. That was one of the drives for me to build a Scout hangar. But, any resources thrown at them at this point would be a waste cause as you said, I'm also meeting lots of fully maxed players and it's annoying as hell. I'm just gonna focus on my main hangar now - sorry Shadow, back on the shelf you go for now - and when the next discounted implant swap comes out, I'm putting Stefania on my Paragon.
I think we're also going to see more sniper build with legendary pilots out there, so brace yourselves for more one shot kills with EM and RG builds. There's two legendary sniper pilots so that means people will definitely be running those. I had a face off against someone with one EM16. He had paired it with LA12. He got my Guardian down to a sliver on the first shot but I was able to hit him a couple of double salvos with my RG16. If he had dual EM16, I would have been toast. I don't like where the META is heading more and more towards one shot kills.

I'm sorry you guys are going through the same crap we have with War Robots.
A lot of pissed off War Robots players these days, too.

Plarium's shenanigans are nowhere close to Pixonic's, but its clear that they are definitely headed in that direction. I didn't use to mind the new releases that much, but with every new release, the power creep is getting bigger and bigger. At least in War Robots, there isn't really a single shot kill mechanism (at least I don't think so), and the SSK in MA is getting worse and worse. |
