Why is everyone here always being so 「female dog」y about everything i get it the game sucks pixonic sucks everything sucks if its so bad why do you keep playing other than to give yourself something to complain about its not like anyone actually gives a 「dookie」 anymore because half the rules arent even enforced these days so why whats the point of this place at all beyond being a well of negativity why are you here when you dont enjoy the game and have nothing good to say genuinely i donât understand it just feels like such a waste

I love this game! It is the best game ever, run by the best devs!
Oh, wait, we’re not on the official discord…. Sorry…

It hasn't been the best forum it could be lately, but we haven't all given up on having fun. It's just not easy to generate positivity in the current climate.

It's a cycle for me. Played the game for a long time, then quit for over 2 years. Started again and I think I'm nearing to the point where I'll stop again. For me it's all connected to leagues: as I'm raising through leagues before hitting champion the game despite its flaws is fun, but when reaching champion much less so.
As for negativity (or what I call criticism): when I see something that is off I point it out, and most of the times attempt to fix it. Serves me well at work because either I can do something about it, or when brought up somebody else can do something about it. But obviously I cannot fix Pixonic.
But when it comes to Pixonic it raises my ire because as a consumer rights advocate I think they are getting away with things they shouldn't. I don't mean to tell them how to run their business but by law they should not be allowed to nerf items they sold, should be always required to post clear odds for their mini lotteries and etc.
Lastly, as unpleasant as it feels to some, negativity has some use. I think we have warned many players what they are getting themselves into via reviews and yes, to some extent through forum posts. I might be wrong, but I think War Robots frontiers has flopped so far despite being a decent game precisely because the bad reputation Pixonic has.

See, this is exactly what I mean: had a long string of really bad matches, was considering walking away from the game. Then switched to playing domination mode only and last 20 games were really good, fair too. Didn't mind few beatdowns sprinkled in there.
Some might say we have love-hate relationship with War Robots, but I'd argue a better way to describe it is we have love relationship with War Robots and hate relationship with Pixonic.

Dude, you do realize that youâre 「female dog」ing about 「female dog」ing forumites that 「female dog」 too much? âï¸ð
When I joined this forum years ago some of my first posts were 「female dog」ing posts, then someone 「female dog」 slapped me and I stopped 「female dog」ing so much. It is the way

It is the way Somebody slapped you for complaining? I thought in the old days people were smacked for not complaining enough on this forum. I remember one time mods were busy or otherwise unavailable and one thread got so nasty and personal that Pixonic was complaining to head mod about it. Things definitely went too far back then, that's one of the reasons we have separate rants section now. In the old days all that was in GD, and in it was LOT more lively too. I got thread locked once or twice for political back and forth with somebody. But under different name, nobody remembers it so it never happened. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) But the "complainers" vs "take it or leave it" factions are probably as old as the forum itself.

Started playing in 2015 and went through all the ups and downs. Always really enjoyed this forum but at a point really found myself only complaining about the game and not enjoying it. Barking at the moon so to speak.
Clean and sober for 10 months now (from the game... ). I still check out Predator and YouTube on occasion to see what the latest and greatest is but honestly don't really miss War Robots. It was fun for those years but dead to me now. Still check out the forum now and again but seems like same old, same old from Pix.
I guess I'll keep waiting to see if something (miraculously changes) or this turd finally gets the big flush.

It's a roller coaster ride for sure. I think this game is more like an addiction... or an abusive relationship... You don't know why you keep coming back for more punches to the face... you just do. Honestly, I would have to say it's my worst addiction.

... Clean and sober for 10 months now (from the game... ). ... Two years! I've been out for two years and then earlier this year this bam!, I get a relapse. I blame Tyr, Nodes and this forum. In that order. It's been a blast for last few months but eventually you rediscover the reason why you left in the first place. Edit: Now thinking of quitting again but just started upgrading demeter and will build khepri soon. Definitely want to try both out and after that the game can drown itself in that orbital strike, turrets and bendy bullets no-skill mess.

Just don't go to hacking. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) As far as Demeter goes... it's probably one of my best bots and most fun. I keep it in the hangar always. Khepri is still pretty decent too if it's leveled up.

Even though I got my beloved Tyr almost leveled to MK3 it's just not cutting it anymore. The shield is not enough and it's not fast enough to keep up with team and heal. Which defeats the purpose. Mender is not cutting it either, would love to have the ultimate version but these are hard to get. I can find my happy place in the game. The issue is the bendy bullets can find me there too, hence getting to end of my line. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I get it all the time in my Weyland, and it moves super slow, so I just adjust and setup healing stations near the action to help out the team. Granted I have it kitted out as a mega tank which helps, but the fire power of the Weyland having just 2 heavies does take its toll.

But then I realized the demeter is probably the most difficult bot to play right and requires some experience. Certainly more challenging to play than almost anything else I'm used to so far. Nodens requires a lot of attention because you are tracking who needs healing, who needs to be suppressed and where the fight is heading next. And of course all that while tracking potential targets at the same time. But demeter requires understanding of not only entire battlefield but also having good idea how individual skirmishes are going and which ones are worth jumping into. Otherwise you'll be sending your demeter on suicide missions, which is what I have done. Of course it also didn't help that I was impatient and fielded demeter level 4 with igniters. That's just won't cut it, even in expert/master league where I was at the time. The only thing remotely close to meta that I own is one porthos I won, and that's being leveled and will go on demeter to give it little extra sting. Not ready yet, but definitely there will be demeter round 2.

I use maces on mine. I also run Jerry to boost my blues

I really do like the game. I wouldn't still be playing it some 8 years later if it wasn't enjoying it.
I understand the game and play it on my terms.

I go overseas for a few weeks, and this is what happens... lol
「female dog」 about people not 「female dog」ing enough about stuff. Then 「female dog」 about people being positive about the game, then 「female dog」 about the people 「female dog」ing about all the 「female dog」ing.
I was going to 「female dog」 about all that, but I dont want to get stuck in an infinite loop.

Whilst on this rant/anti-rant theme, predator is still my favourite but what is with the latest style of delivery with the "baby talk" and deliberate stuttering with every enemy encounter?
