Ok, so the subject line is a little ominous, but that's just the hook. I recently came into possession of a brand new iPad Pro, so of course the first thing I installed was War Robots. Rookie tier is laughable. I mean, I'll admit, there was a bit of a learning curve when I started playing on my Android phone, but it's a 3PS, not a steep curve at all for me. I took top dmg and MoC in 5 of 6 matches so far, using a level 2 Cossack with a level 2 Gau-T. Can't wait to afford my first Geppard (after slots et al of course). So anyways, thought I'd start a bit of a journal thread for my experiences being a 'forced' restart player. There's a lot of old salties around here and sometimes it's useful to go back to school. Comments and discussion are welcome as always with me.  iOS PlayerID: UD4NIT Player_Name: The Dæmôn L?l?th |

Heh, don't I know it, but only player level 5 so far, not bad for about 30 minutes of playing. Thunders unlock at plvl 10, gotta grind first.
See Also: Rookie Special Offer. I laughed. $4.99 for 1.6m Ag and 1800 Au over 30 days. Riiiiiiight.

Hey Lilith,
I did a second account as well on my iPhone; my primary is on an iPad Pro
Same experience....I drove up to lvl 15 quick. The mag geps are a pain but manageable. Trying not to coin at all with this account.
Will be interesting to share experiences with you.
Cheers

boomsplat : Totally no spendages on the iOS side, Pixonic got enough of my moneys to get half to Au for my Android's 5th slot *blush* Currently at level 11. I've screwed up my upgrade flow a few times, and unbalanced my hanger enough to get knocked out of rookie tier and wound up with my ?bum-bum? getting handed to me by swarms of Golems and Pattons. Had to buy a new set of bots. Currently saving AU for 4th slot. Then it will be a toss-up between getting a Taran [Orkan] for a Cossack, or a Gepard to make a Pinata arsehole-bot. Upgrade target waypoint is L4/6. Relative to the gold farming runs on my Android account... how do these fools EVER win? You CANNOT convince me the below team is a gold farming or seal clubber's team. And yet in running the matches it's pretty much the same for me[, going all the way up to low-silver farming with L4/8 hanger]. It just takes a reload or two more to finish my targets off, and the vast majority can't seem to be able to pilot their way out of a wet sack. I haven't even seen any TMGeps as yet. Current Hanger: Cossack1/Gau-T4 (current upgrade queued), Destrier1/Pinata5, Schutze1/Thunder5 Stats: 14 victories, Max Dest 6, Max Dmg 219948, Max Win Streak 6; Last 50: Destroyed 3.3, Damage 115789, Victories 73%. The next person to suggest to me that I'm a skill-less testicle-less n00b for exploiting gold farming and the like is going to get sneered and farted at. Pretty damn sure I got the skills

Adding L5 Pinatas on a L1 Destrier and a L5 Thunder on my L1 Schutze definitely kicked me up a notch in the MM. Seeing a better mix of peeps that at least try to pilot vs. headless n00bs. Been 'clubbed' a few times by TMGeps, and had to bail on utterly hopeless teams a few times. Y'all know, the usual. Play it again, Sam...

So close to my 4th slot. Less than 100 Au to go.
Even with just 3 newb bots and Camper for competition, still took 1st damage in one round and 5 kills in a later, and MoC many times. Also got wiped several times, but yanno. In his defense, he was running a full set of ThunderShuitz [sic]
Not used to typing on this thing... "Sent from my iPad"

I got my forth slot, this is the result...  And here's me hanger:  It doesn't seem to matter what bot ya give me, I can kill.  On a side note, although I have some issues with Apple, I gotta say the screen on this iPad Pro is a beautiful thing. <3 |

ok, true confessions time. I bought the rookie discount Gerard. Three days of premium for the exp bonus, and my fav little bot, for $5? That is not all that unreasonable in the freemium markets. So I doubt I'll spend any more real currency, but now for sure my next upgrade buy is an Orkan. That will hold me just fine for up-to-silver farming and general mayhem while I grind out the 5k Au for my 5th slot. So, is this considered "clubbing" yet? Kinda feels like it, and I like it...   |

Considering you are already a well experienced player yeh it's clubbing |

Here is my junior hanger. having fun running around and nabbing beacons and killing bots. At lvl 17 already and holding my own against higher powered bots to some degree. Definitely not the top scorer in every match and I lose sometimes when coming up against bots like a thunder schutze. Quite fun to be playing this hanger as well, although less frequently than my primary hanger. Weps are lvl 1 except for the pins and kwk (5) and punisher (6). Debating the Gep.....but I won't put ep mags on it if I do. Cheers  |

Yay!! Finally got my first Orkan ^_^ Next will be a Taran but waiting for WSPs of course. Buying that newb discount Gepard has really helped, not only in combat worthiness and gold farming, but also in the EXP gain boost bringing me closer to the better toys. Yeah, I'll eventually put Mags on, but of course, in the mean time however I'm in great shape for the endless grind for my 5th slot. So what really impresses me is that with foreknowledge, I've been able to take my iOS account to such a level so quickly. It took me a lot longer to reach to same point on my Android account. RTFM FTW.  |

I pulled this one off using just my L3/5 Orkan Cossack, 1st dmg and MoC Won so fast I never died and so never even pulled out the Piñata Gep. Ok, ok, totes bragging, but it is a journal thread, so there's an excuse.  |

Tis all good. Sounds like a fun exercise, but not one I'll be embarking on anytime soon, so I'll just have to enjoy this vicariously.
