I also forgot to mention, I run Gareth to capture beacons and usually meet other Gareths and it doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot. I don't shoot and after a while some of the players will stop shooting as well and then I capture a beacon and back off and he does the same. We ended up getting 16 beacons for me and 14 for him. Make love not war we in it for the same goal Seen that couple of times, too bad you can't win a game for each other several times :-D Hahaha but for real it feels really nice when the other person understands what you are trying to do and goes along with you. There was also another game where this guy didn't attack me so I didn't either so stood next to each other while I was firing at his team and he was firing at mine LOL! Wish I had recorded that.

I wonder what all those regular players who are not reading this forum thinks... War robots gone completely crazy?

Okay, another unpopular opinion coming though. THIS! My Level 3 Cossack agrees wholeheartedly as the dust streams from his shoulders and he admires the Level 9 Taran strapped to his side. My lineup was completely wacked for beacon run. lvl9 ECU Cossack, lvl1 Gepard that I recently won, lvl2 Rogatka that I recently won, lvl3 Carnage I haven't upgraded decently yet (however, due to "rush" he is a blast) lvl9 Griffin from usual hangar. I must tell you - Griffin feels SO SLOW after playing all those guys, I think maybe replacing Griffins with Gareth\Rhino

So Vin wins by cheating, screwing his team over, etc. Should have left his kind in TL for the event.

I'm running a Level 6 Stalker with 8 Pinatas Level 3 Cossack with L 9 Taran 8/7 Thunder Carny 8/9 PDB Griff. Although one of his Tarans is L1. Of course. Lol. As soon as I complete this task (On step 1 of Rex Stalker) Will replace Griff with another stalker who will get the Mags. So much fun lol. Gonna be setting alarms to keep my Cossack and new stalker levelling.

I AM in TL and always have been bro, and I like it here because you can easily get to higher leagues for rewards while fighting players from all leagues. It's fun being able to play with the top players on the charts. Also, I have no problem when other people leave my team in battle. I wouldn't have needed to leave battles if I wasn't in TL. Don't like it ask Pixonic to change the match making then we can all be happy.

RusselDo you have an aphid gepard? My clanmate has lvl.12 and he is basically 2-3 shotting all the griffens. Quite an amazing bot.

To be honest I think pixonic specifically designed TL for tankers to do what they do so they don't disrupt the other players who don't tank. I'm free to play so I didn't buy my way to the top, but I do have a lot of work on my hangar as well not to mention I only have 4 slots for bots. My bots and weapons are lvl.9 - lvl.10 so I do fine in TL. I'm usually 1st or 2nd on my team, but I feel really bad for those low levels that are dragged into this league because of the algorithm that Pixonic uses so private and bronze are going against champion leagues. The league that I should be in is gold, but because of tankers league, I got up to master 3 and claimed all the rewards. If I squad, it's back to regular matches and everyone is 12/12 in masters league...so yeah TL is a heavenly safe zone for me LOL Thanks for the understanding llama4president Shahmatt

I'm doing 2 minute games. It's the only way these tasks can be completed reasonably. As far as cheating and letting my fellow blues down? Well, so far not one has let me finish a kill or get to a beacon without a fight. So your on your own fellas... unless you're in my squad

I won a Gepard this event, and also won 1 Aphid already :-D And while putting Aphids to Gepard is the best thing that can happen to Gepard, I still have only 5 slots, and there are many, many bots I would rather use That's why I don't like him. And being slower than Cossack, Rogatka, Stalker, Carnage, Gareth doesn't look "gepardish" to me :-D

Sharptropicalfruit - Was doing some of the math in my head regarding taran and figure at least 60 gamesm. Figure 50/50 probability to start, plus an additional false 50/50 result pushed on us by PIX. That's a lot of game play. Doesn't sound free. Free is something you get for not doing anything. Huh. I thought "free" meant something you got without paying for it, not by doing nothing.

Okay so I'm going to do some quick calcs to work out how much time this is estimated to take: Assumptions: 1) 10 minutes per game (yes actual game might be a bit shorter, but factor in load times, needing mini breaks etc) 2) Assuming average of 3 robot kills per game 3) Assuming average of 3 beacons per game 4) Assuming win rate of 50% 5) Assuming only whole numbers count. So if you have killed 6 robots and you need to kill 7. Tough, you need to fight another whole battle to complete it. *snip* Uh....138 hours? no bro lol I've played about 40 hours and I'm on my first task on ancile here is my proof: P.S. I've tanked about 1200 battles already. Even though it's detrimental to gameplay, it's the fastest way especially if you are in tankers league. My battles in TL average to 50% and I'm not wasting time to play a 10 minute game in the case that if I lose I wasted 10 minutes. No, instead I can tank 8 games in that time to increase my chances of winning multiple games in the time it takes to play one. For beacons, the fastest way is get the two closest beacons with a fast bot (I use gareth) then tank and start another. I finish 45 beacons for raijin in less than 20 minutes. For kills, either drop to a low league and squad with a clanmate and seal club the 「fluffernutter」 outta those newbies (harsh yes I know) or play it normally. I was in Diamond 1 so dropping to silver was too time consuming, I ran a thunder carnage to avoid others stealing my kills since my shots takes a chunk out of the enemy bot. If it takes a while to get close to an enemy, I tank and start a new game. Also, because of the beacon tasks I've seen a huge increase in cossacks in my games which is nice for the kill tasks. This how you get to Ancile in 3 days My kill task on raijin was 60 each so I expect 11th prize should be about 74-76 and beacons 85. If there is another win task it should be about 20-21. Note - 5th task on trebuchet is bugged you need to finish 34 battles to get 1 beacon each no matter how many you captured during the game. Good Luck All! I will be getting 11th prize tasks tonight(hopefully) and will be posted on my clanmate's page a.k.a llama4president Good luck on the event! You do have two weeks to do it, but final exams is coming up so I'm rushing to complete it so I have no distractions! Okay so all you have to do to win the Rogatka in say 60 hours instead of 138 hours is to tank about 1,500 battles? Okay great. Thanks for the information.

FYI, last task before rog is orkan. First set of task is 45 kills. Squad up! It is only 45 kills? I'm on 3rd step for Ancile and it is 73 kills....I mean if the kills are decreased I'm not complaining lol Also, for the question of tankers league, I don't think you can get out, but there are cases when I'm the only diamond on my team and everyone else is silver and below with a gold player. I'm sure Pixonic created it so those who prefer to tank can do so without disrupting the other players. But yeah, my victory count rose by 500 and I've been keeping track of my win rate %. I wouldn't suggest those with low level hangars to go tanking because you might become agitated when you are fighting opponents that are way out of your league after being placed inside tankers league. Every once in a while I get matched with a legends league player and it's actually pretty fun seeing how they play and can learn a lot from them. I matched with the #1 guy on legends league I think his name was Jerkyl and Hyde something like that. He was rocking 3 gareths, a galahad, and an aphid leo and he destroy the opponent's team with just gareths. When you fight stronger opponents, strategy triumphs over brute strength. When I squad with clanmates, I'm usually the beacon capper for the team so even though we lost 4 players and it turned into a 2v6, we still won because the opponent got cocky and decided to rush us. I'm doing a lot of tanking to get ahead of the tasks so I can focus on my finals, but normally I don't usually quit the game unless the opponent has captured all 5 beacons and our beacon bar is already very low.

Could you provide email? I got to trebuchet task on Saturday and I also sent in a report to pix then as well. They asked for screenshots and more explanation so I gave them what they wanted. I think they were skeptical at first, but as more people got the task and the complaints started coming in they couldnt ignore it. You can file a report in game on the menu it.

Curious. Do you get out of the tanker league to get kills? How long does it take? You can't get out of the tankers league. Even if you collect the points for Champion The only time you can get out that I know of is when there is an update so it resets it, but I'm back in after a day or two lol

Would have been a lot more casual friendly without the "Win X games" tasks. Most people are begrudged by "Win 8 Battles" Daily, I can only imagine what 3x win 15 battles feels like playing <50 games a day.
