Late arrival

Err... No.




Now you can start giving me names.

well, with that hangar it doesn't matter who is on your team, so I don't see why you won't go into battle with Nashas, just gives you an even higher chance of earning medal of capture.

A full Gep hangar including two full of Aphids and two with magnums? You'll find no sympathy from me for any reason. Also, when you start telling me you're choosy with a hangar like that I'm inclined to double down on my "no tournament victories bound to happen" suspicion.

You're the victim of other players who dropped out of the match for whatever reason, and you are the last minute backfill....I think nothing more than that.  The only way to get around it is to run in a squad - harder for MM to drop you into ongoing matches as backfills when there are 2-6 of you seeking a match.

regarding your other question on why some start walking before you, I occasionally run into the same situation even when 6 of us drop as a squad.  We had some hypotheses but nothing proven on why.

cheers

Or maybe the Gep pilots team was worse?

Yes, it does matter. If hostiles now what they are doing and you got enough campers on your team, you get sweaty fingers just from keeping all the beacons from turning red same time.

And it just is so much more fun when you have team mates taking the battle to the enemy together with you. That is one of the good things about clans, or when you have some friends to platoon with. If one has never been in a really good clan, I can only encourage to try hard and get an invite from them. The welcoming alone is great. Just make sure you speak their language (...my russian was somewhat nonexistent at one time). Right now, I personally do not feel ready for one of those top-10-clans I got invited to. Tried, but as their weapons were all maxed-out to lvl. 12 I did not score that much damage as they did and felt less worthy. Working on it, but it takes so much time.

Hi Muhlakai

pardon my ignorance, but are there tourneyments you are competing in with War Robots?  The only tourneyment I can think of is the clan tourneyment in the spring....I don't think you are referring to matches.  I'm trying to understand your point about gep drivers lacking the determination to do well in tourneyments when I'm not aware of any such thing nor any data.
if you are referring to an open tourneyment without tiering, then I would agree that a squad of gep drivers maxed for silver would most likely get wiped by a squad of max gold bots....but I don't know if that is related to the determination of the pilots.  I've been in silver squads where MM put us up against maxed gold hangers because someone left a gold bot in by mistake and we fight tooth and nail to win.  I've had other gold bot drivers fold and die at the sight of a gep....is that determination?
You have interesting posts so trying to understand the basis of your conclusions since you are castigating an entire group of bot drivers.
cheers

Not an entire group, boom, just this guy. Feel free to read again for clarification. I don't think all Gep drivers lack determination; there are good drivers in Geps and bad drivers in Geps, just like any other frame. I'm saying that quitting because he just doesn't like playing with certain teammates is a delusion of good driving. His determination has nothing to do with his preferred frame at all.

My win rate is typically 80-90%. I don't skip any maps and I play every match I'm given, regardless of whether I spawn next to five arty Nats or next to 5 knife fighters. (Note that what I have in my hangar has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.) He's skipping maps if he thinks he might have a handicap from the randoms who spawned with him. If you only knew that single difference about our two driving styles, which one would you put your money on if you were forced to bet?

To top it off, he brags about a long win streak. What does that win streak mean, exactly? It means nothing more than he's correct about playing only when he's fairly certain that he's got an overwhelming advantage. So it's clear that he has a large *desire* to win, but not the *determination* to learn how to win no matter what. I can carry a team of randoms to victory under almost all conditions, regardless of who does or doesn't have Gepards dropping into their side. He can tell, with an extraordinary degree of success, whether it's going to be a tough battle and avoids every single such instance. Which one of us has the determination to overcome any challenge on our way to victory? Even if we were both running clubbing hangars it wouldn't change the fact that one of us has much less determination than the other.

Does that clarify things?

You are trying to look down on somebody, you don't know anything about, when all you do, is clubbing newbies,
while just having the best equipment, money can buy? I don't see the skill in that. It's like bragging, how good you can drive a car,
when racing with a mercedes against a bycicle. And then you are picky about your teammates? Sorry, but in my book, this is so low...

Ah yeah that explains it then. The gep pilot did not pilot his bots carefully, and you were ready for the fight. I tend to not pilot very carefully either when I'm in Gepards tbh, if I lose all my bots then oh well, on to the next game. When you are in Gepards you are aiming to get the 10 gold as fast as possible most of the time, so if you have to cornershoot in engagements then it's not really worth the time. Good job though, you'd be pretty happy that you didn't have to clear the remaining reds by yourself.

You missed the point. I wasn't saying I used such atrocious equipment, but that the disservice was quitting just because his teammates were.

Heck yes, I do! I never skip a game and I never skip a match.
- Blues are arty and the Reds are mostly Raze/Ruin? Done it. (Nearly won it too.)
- No one else grabs beacons? Done it. Won it.
- Blues spawn with multiple Destriers and Reds are low Gold tier? Done it. Won it.
- Playing solo and Reds clearly have voice comms? Done it. Won it.

I typically have an 80-90% win rate, I've never spent money on the game, I've never owned a Gep or a Rog, and I tackle everything from the MM head on. I'm not looking to win Points (er, Player) of the Hour; I want the "Holy crap on a stick that guy is a beast on the field" award. I also often find that games I thought would be fun aren't and vice versa.

...so does that help?

Who cares just play and have fun. Why do people care so much about win Rate. You don't even lose alot of silver from losing.

Very, thanks. So I misjudged you on your first posts to this thread and apologize for having de-evaluated you in my post of Nov 27, 2016 at 10:25.
