Please work on incentivizing beacon captures.  I agree. As much as I like the daily tasks that reward for damage and kills, I sort of think the game would be better if daily tasks were based solely on beacon captures. This would bring back a mix of robot sizes into the game and make the game more about winning than damage dealing. Many players still ignore the beacons and go for damage only since ignoring the beacons can cause you to lose (bringing you down the leagues) and the high damage is great for silver and if you win, gold. |

It means they want to tie the unlocking of more powerful bots and weapons to league progression, but they can't because we already have access to everything. :-) Well, they could lock things until you reach the required league. As an example you can't select your wsp bot unless you're in diamond. Can't select your gold bot unless in Masters and so on. Although, introducing it now would lead to a massive rage fest from most of the player base. However, tanking down to gold, can't use wsp/gold bots, would alliviate some of the strain on newer players. |

Totally disgaree with this. You can keep yourself out of the Quitters Queue by just playing the game rather than quitting, and your AU earnings would be unaffected from normal gameplay. Some people refuse to play certain maps that are unfair in their layout. How can they be unfair in layout if everyone plays them? |

U quit a map others play leaving them a man down because u decided to specialize in a certain map or 2 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 generalise like the rest of us do try every map ffs ppl theres only 5 lol |

I play all the maps, but I understand people who doesn't want to play certain maps.
You play for fun, even pay for it.
It's not a job, so if they don't have fun in a map, I understand they leave it, since there's a button that allows them to do so...

It is true that some maps skippers specialize in only-brawling maps. I don't specialize in maps at all. I run what I want. But sometimes, I don't want to waste my time walking the entire map to get one beacon and getting blasted by a Trident Fury. There is no fun walking. |

Subtract Silver, Gold and WP from personal account as penalty for those who consistently LEAVE.

Diminished rewards will likely drastically reduce the number of players in LQ. great to see a response to these issues. How and if they choose to address fading will be tue next interesting point. Incorrect. There is currently no way out of the LQ. There are a million ways to get stuck in it, but no way out. Reducing rewards is a great way to get people to quit. I've reduced my play to 2-3 matches per week until either, they take me out of the LQ or they get rid of the LQ. I played a few hundred matches without leaving for ANY reason over the last 7 weeks. I haven't even had a lag drop, and I stopped answering any phone calls when playing. I'm still in LQ despite a hundred or so emails |

Finally - and for me it has more to do with Pixo actually delivering upon their commitments than the actual leavers. Pixo created LQ as a way to discourage the disruption in game play....but they made it attractive. By eliminating or diminishing rewards, they will deliver upon their statements. Nope, we will all just move out of the LQ to ruin your regular matches.  You can't get out. There is no way out. |

Maybe 6/6 is perfect for silver now, when most of tankers are locked up with me in the LQ , but at the time I "had" to lever down my league points I can assure you there were time zones when the game was impossible for me to play. I'm well aware of how the tankers affect the game. Thanks for the cheering up. I've being getting beacons and killing robots since april the 10th, and I'll keep doing it until I finally get out of this hell. I really hate LQ. But after almost a month down here, patience is reaching its limit. ... Ah! And now Pixonic decided, that the only two weeks that I could earn a couple of gold per battle, they are going to remove it, just to punish the bad guys... I'm so, so, so deeply frustrated.... The requirements are: Play All Maps - you cannot 'Skip, Leave early (Punch-out) and you must "play" the duration; do damage, destroy Mecha, etc... If it seems to be taking an inordinately long time, you could try and speak with Pixonic. They may tell you how much longer you'll need or any other pertinent information. They may even release you on Good Behaviour with time-served. It's a long shot - but worth a shot. Good hunting and hope to see you, soon .. This is, of course, completely false. There is no way out and Pixonic won't give you any details. They just tell you not to leave games. In which case I shouldn't be in LQ but I am. I'm just not going to play until I'm out. |

You would not be in the "Leaver's Pool" (Legendary Pilot) if you did not violate the conditions set forth. You have to understand that for every Map or Match that you Skipped or Left, you affected five other Players. So, the ratio is 5:1 or possibly 11:1 if Pixonic includes both Teams in the calculation. If you Skip a Map or Leave a Match while in the Legendary Pilot, you are compounding your dilemma. |

I have been in LQ 3 times.
Easy to get out, just play all maps, stay to the end.
About 6 games?
I get put in for Skipping Springfield, and I never drop a Bot, still put me in LQ

My internet connection is fine but I'm being forced to go to Hanger.
Does this result in LQ?

They do have server problems a reasonable amount of the time, which they have lied about, then blamed our wifi and gear, then admitted the problem, and then denied the whole thing. |

If you Skip a Map or Leave a Match while in the Legendary Pilot, you are compounding your dilemma. Realistically, you're just speculating. Even the people I've been emailing with at Pixonic don't know. They can't/won't give a straight answer and they keep contradicting themselves. This mess isn't my doing, and I'm quite sick of arrogant douchebags who try to make it out like I'm the bad guy. About 2 months ago, I started dropping games whenever I ended up in battles with maxed out bots. It's a bunch of bs for a 6/7 player to be against all 12/12. You make some silly comment like "it affects 11 other people?" Well let me explain something really quick here. It affects them that I'm even in their matches. I shouldn't be. I have dropped 2 games since 2 April. 1 because it was 6v1, and I was the 1. The other was a lag drop. By the way. Pixonic told me in an email that lag drops, map slipping and leaving after being meched out do not count. They only count (according to them) people who are deliberately under performing or leaving early. we now know that this is complete BS, also, how are they determining what is under performance? It's their mess. Their problem. They need to fix it. Not me. Trying to put the responsibility on me is complete BS. The only thing I'm understanding from them is that they just don't want my money for some reason. That's a bad business plan. Not to mention that people are posting new games to play in lieu of this garbage on their Facebook page. A little transparency would have gone a long way. Now, unfortunately, they need to go and fix various accounts like mine, or they are going to lose even more players. Worse for them is that these players they really screwed over appear to be a quite vocal lot of people. The player loss rate will only increase until they resolve this LQ and the crappy MM issues. Not to mention that lag and locks where the controls won't work are issues I never had before and are now becoming big issues for many people. Myself included. The overall quality of this game has gone down the tubes since December. Not a lot of happy customers, and that's a certain recipe for missing quarterly earnings guidance at the next shareholders meeting. Just the concept that accompany would go out of its way to aggravate its customer base tells me that they won't be in business long. |

I hope your problems get resolved... but, I hate to say this, they sound like YOUR problems... I have known of several folk who have gotten out of the LQ in a short amount of time. I know of one that was stuck for weeks. He squadded a few games and then all of a sudden was out... *shrugs* I don't know what has happened to get you stuck there, but your insistence that it is the same for everyone as it is for you, is the same sort of blanket statement that you were saying others were making about you. In essence, it is NOT completely false and BS that playing the games all the way through get people out. IDK why you are different and won't try and guess... but you lose credibility when you say something IS when it most certainly ISN'T, just because you are seeing it. Again, I am not saying you don't have an issue, but I AM saying that what you are dealing with is NOT the norm. I hope Pix can fix your account! Try squadding for a bit! There is a thread full of folk who would be glad to run with ya and give the reds a team effort! Good luck! |

But just know that it's not some cookie cutter experience from iOS to Android and from player to player. What you see isn't what I see and what I see isn't what Blast sees and what he sees isn't what Dredd sees... etc. Perhaps, but Dredd77 sees all. |
