Sounds good to me, a ranking system based on skill not activity and more transparency! Good on you Pixo..

This is great news! Now we need pixonic to mention this site somewhere in-game. Maybe at the end of the tutorial have a banner pop up that says "Don't waste your gold yet! Check out war-robots-forum.freeforums.net." Perhaps not so blunt though.

All of your support means as much to us as Pixonic's To start out you could like our facebook page and tell your in-game buddies to check us out. I wish my clan mates would browse the forum too but as maxed players I guess they just don't need it.

We should lose the freeforums.net part of the url. War-robots-forum.com and warrobots-forum.com are both available.

And also help us improve and suggest improvements to the wiki, not just the forum.
Cos many still use the wiki as the primary source of info. And the staff we have are all volunteers who cant keep up with the changes to the game sometimes.
This is a community effort!

You should see if Pixonic will allow you to give out some gold. They are giving Adrian Chong 25k to give 10 people 1kAU each. I think that would help get some people's attention.

This is fantastic news! Everyone complaining about whether the changes are likely to be good or not is missing the point. The most important thing is whether Pix maintains this channel of info to the community. As long as there is SOME info being leaked it shows that the existing player base is likely being valued more heavily, which will hopefully mean fewer stupid sales and more work fixing things we actually care about. It doesn't matter if these fixes are perfect; what matters is that it's likely they're ACTUALLY happening at all.

Just a suggestion. Depending on the influx of traffic that potentially may come through over the coming weeks and months... it might be a good time now to start segmenting certain areas of the forum. e.g. The Clan recruiting section you might want to split into IOS and Android. Also, maybe consider breaking that up into Silver/Gold/Top.

The MM announcement does not sound like good news, and frankly, I think that a LoL-style MM, or any Elo type matchmaker for that matter, would be terrible for this game. Why? Equipment is highly unbalanced, especially level wise, in this game. The Elo system works in chess because quite obviously everyone starts with the same pieces, so the only real determining factor is skill. It works in LoL because even though player champions might be slightly unbalanced in comparison to each other, they (correct me if I'm wrong) all start each match at a low level on roughly equal footing, and how unbalanced they become later own depends entirely on player actions during that match. I greatly dislike this proposed direction. Much of what LoL does will not translate at all to War Robots. Honestly, if this happens then I want to have all my WSP, Ag and Au refunded so I can actually build a hangar that aligns with this stupidity.

@curry pot As the game stands now match making isn't working, the potential problems you have cited with a new system are already happening. The system needs to be patched for loopholes but I see little problem with high level hangers (with low win rates) getting matched with low hangers with high win rates. the aim is for a theoretical match should the difference be too great, then the system should rebalance until games find an equilibrium. I find I'm at a good place in match making, I win most and lose some, about half of my games I carry the team to victory. I'm already being matched with hangers MUCH BETTER than mine, yet it doesn't seem like it's helping these players... Pix has needed to do something for a long time. As it stands clubbers especially the MagGep clans are really hurting the players testing the waters and trying to decide whether they'll continue or not. Sure, right now you can argue that MM is broken and I would agree with you, but I still think that the proposed direction is terrible, and the MM has the potential to be a lot more broken than it already is. Just because the MM system isn't working for you doesn't mean that it should go in such a direction. Yes, Pixo needs to do something, but an Elo type MM (like the ones used in chess and LoL, which Pixo is planning on emulating) is definitely not that something. If you read my post earlier, then you should already have an idea of what Elo matchmaking is and why I believe it won't work in War Robots. Yes, the problems already exist, and I hate to repeat myself, but the new MM system will not make fix them- in fact, it only stands to make them worse. You mention being matched against against much stronger players, and yet you still manage to win most of the time- that's the exact kind of player that the MM change is going to hurt the most, because when it begins to factor in wins and match performance much more heavily than hangar stats, you can rest assured that you are going to face MUCH BETTER ( sic) hangars much more often.
I am going to go over this again. Under a Elo type matchmaker that Pixo is planning on, if you win most of the time (which I am assuming that you do), your ranking would go up and you will keep facing progressively higher ranked players until you longer win most of the time, and you can bet your soul that the large majority players you end up with are going to have much better hangars than you. You can say goodbye to relatively fair matches (i.e the ones you can carry) because the new MM will try to make your matches "fair" by giving your opponents a material one (i.e. MUCH BETTER hangars) to offset your skill advantage. The only players that stand to gain from the new MM are players who have no idea what they are doing and maxed hangars, since they cannot be matched any higher regardless of how well they actually do. MagGep clubbers would of course get their just desserts, but that's irrelevant if you are playing above low silver- or if you are a seal clubber yourself. Hopefully the new system will not be a true Elo and will have some safeguards in place to keep game balance, but I cannot see any good coming out of it. In any case, change is by no means always beneficial. For example, do you remember back when you could make over a million Ag per game, and players began complaining of having too much of silver and nothing to do with it? Pixo cut the silver rewards to well below half of what they were before, and made all upgrades longer and more expensive. Be careful of what you wish for.

I think it includes 3d models for the bots. Nope, it doesn't. It's 2Gs of image files (PSDs, etc). I doubt they'll include 3D files otherwise people will start 3D printing and selling on eBay. LOL>
