Why is everyone suddenly meching out?

Let me guess… red fields all Dux, Condors, and the jumpy reflectivity shield bot. Or they are 3-5 squad members vs non squads. ;-)

Definitely quitters in the mix too. Seem to get at least one every other match with zero or very low stats. I report them as “inactive during combat”. That clearly does nothing since it seems to be getting more and more common.

BB What he said.
Give it a week, it will settle down. Seems to have already settled down a bit for me. Matches seemed a little more "normal" yesterday.

Sorry, but yeah, I’m one of the quitters adding to the validity of the quitting theory. I/we can read the field and see within a couple minutes that this match is a waste of my time. Why should I spend time and power cells on a guaranteed loss? 2 or 3 months ago I could hang in there and we might get the upset win but now whichever side has the most Condors and Dux wins. I still don’t have any of the latest bots/weapons. Why bother, these weapons and bots will just get horribly nerfed two to four months from now.

I figured id not say anything. But I also quit marches as soon as I see condors or dux. I have better things to do than waste my time.

And before you say tanking or quitting is inappropriate. The jerk off who buys that robot KNOWS it’s imba. They KNOW it’s not a Fair match . So why let them deprive you of YOUR enjoyment for their own.

Now I’m even seeing players with maxed meta hangars quit as soon as they see a player on the other team with a similarly maxed hangar. It’s insane!

Yeah I never quit either and all the quitters in almost every match are making it miserable. So tired of being on bot #2 or 3 and suddenly no teammates left. Then I just go into pure beacon capping mode and see how many I can get. It’s my little game within the game.

Even the #1 War Robots-YT Manni only plays occasionally for fun now. Over the years many of us here have taken long hiatus every time Pigsonic got just a little too greedy. We all know it takes money to run a game, but at times when Picsonic does not listen to the majority of the player base many people leave, take a long hiatus or even a short break to do something else to get enjoyment out of life. When the game is the stress itself who will be playing it for stress relief?

Which is entirely the point. Most quitters are simply returning the favor from Pigsonic... you say quitters are making it miserable, sorry, Pigsonic does that by design. Why should anyone sit through an entirely miserable match because Pigsonic cant be bothered to be ethical or fair?

If you get dropped into a match that is essentially ruined from the get-go, no sense in staying. If enough people quit the match, it makes the game unplayable for whales, and unplayable for the non-spenders who elect to stay behind as target practice (unless thats how you get your groove on, then have at it). The more times that happens, the less people play and spend, which is apparently the only thing Pigsonic understands. Pigsonic will either have to mend their ways (yeah, right), or the game dies a slow death. The latter is most likely, as Pigsonic has always doubled-down on scamming and scheming, which has only made things worse for the player base.

For those who do stick it out, there is a "Never surrender" thread or something similar to that.
