This week has seen the introduction of "Random Bonuses" but anyone that knows Pixonic should know that anything that they do is NOT random. What it really means it that Pixonic gets to more individually choose who gets what bonuses and when, all under the guise of "randomness."
As a for instance, in previous months by this time there would have been at least one 2* supercheast bonus for the lvl 30 account. With the random thing thrown in, the baby account got that (instead of a 1.2*)
And now there's 15% something for EVO Titans?
If the future of specials/bonuses is going to take factions into account, I think I'll just stop paying attention to these bonuses completely.

Hmm made me wonder if everyone's "bonusses" are the same? Just another thing that was crap to begin with and now even crappier. 1.2 multiplier to black market chests 2 days in a row now and a pissy 7% discount to pilot upgrades. Whoopdee doo! What's the bet that the 40% robots and weapons upgrades will be less randomer now as well. |

Before they all used to be the same, except for "lower level" only got 1.2* instead of 2* for Supercheast..Of course if you didn't have titans then you wouldn't get a "10% of titans" promo for the day.
Now they're all different.

Yeah, it's just another way they've reduced rewards. My baby account gets 7% on titan upgrades now

We get bonuses?!? I just thought pix was giving out free stuff to bandaid the “bugs” they frequently have.
I always thought the discounts and stuff was random, just pix throwing us a bone here and there.
Just goes to show ya how much notice I took over the yrs. I honestly just would log in and play giving little thought to such things. Free stuff, cool. Discount for upgrades, ok I’ll take it. Anything else well, if it benefitted me great. If not, hope it helped others.

And they spend time, effort, and money on doing this rather than fix shooting through walls or making it easier to find the pilot you want.

Everything Pigsonic does is with great intent... including most of the 'bugs'.

or making it easier to find the pilot you want.
Seems they did at least fix the issue where you get kicked out of the pilot screen after selling off 2 pilots. I had over 300 legendary pilots since I only open the 100 key black market chests for the abundance of pilots they still give away (surprised they haven't nerfed that yet). I was dreading trying to sell them and it is still such a massive PITA scrolling forever to find the multiple one/s you want to send to the unemployment line. |

It would appear that a new "feature" of this design is that it lasts from 24 hours from when you "reveal it."
Great, you think, I always get 24 hours to use it.
That also means if you reveal at 6pm on Monday, but 11pm on Tuesday, you've got to wait until 11pm on Wednesday to get the new "deal." That 3 hour gap between 6pm and 9pm on Tuesday, nothing.
Seriously, this new "random" thing must have looked real good on paper but the outcome is just horrible.

I got the 40% off upgrades this time round so at least they have not nerfed that one. Pretty much the only one I take advantage of.

If, for example, you always look in on War Robots 6 hours after your random event ended (and that's when the next one starts) then in a standard 30 day month you would only see 20 events and not 30 (assuming 1 per day.)
With the superchest filling multiplier, they're not putting the "1.5*" part in the event banner inside the key opening screen.

Okay but If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound? Probably but it doesnt matter because you're not in the woods to hear it |
