I hope you meant LOBBING Hydras and Spirals. Because I suddenly had a vision of Hydras and Spirals trying to convince members of Congress of their effectiveness. I blame my phone's autocorrect. The news of war robot being just a test before real life introduction of gladiatorial robot fights to the death in the United States is fakenews. In other news, the Russians were totally in contact with the White House because of the elections and nothing but the elections. It's just a case that a candidate who dealt with boxing and WWE won them. Or that Walking War Robots and WWE are so similar. Nothing to see here. No it's not. the United States already has a "war mech" it's called the M1Abrahams perhaps you have heard of it? Saddams Russian made T-72's sure did, when we cut htrough them and destroyed them all in about five days time. ROFL And I thought it's NO politics here? Did I misread that in the TOS? Just asking cause well I cld comment but wont cause I'm not sure and dnt want to get in trbl. ROFL

So the player who hides in the back and contributes almost nothing gets the rewards while the player who leads the charge, does the most damage, caps the beacons that wins the game, and does most of the work gets nothing? Yeah try again please. That's a normal game as things are now. Do the damage, run get the beacons, get blizted, and thanks to other players who dont know how to cap a beacon, voila, U get nada. Frankly I"m a newb and I'm already fed up with the script kiddies and dummies who can't cap a beacon! So much so, I'm no longer playing it. Yeah that's right I'm no longer going to serve as cannon fodder so Pixonic has someone for ppl to blow up. They can create a damn bot in their game to do that.

Leagues are having two effects on me. 1) I love that winning is more important, so it places more of an emphasis on beacon capping. Pilots will get tired of being second best on a losing team to get only 3 points pretty quick. Hopefully they will learn to take the ten seconds to step over and grab the beacon next to them in hopes of helping their team win and getting better points. .... 2) It makes me hate people who drop even more than I already did. When I get top damage on my team and we lose a close game because we were short a pilot? That really bunches my panties up. Im not the kind of guy who will screw over other players because I dont like a map and it just ticks me off when I lose because some inconsiderate selfish dip decides to skip out because he wants a different map. Thats the one thing I like about holiday specials with the prizes to spin the wheel stuff. IT was all about damage and if players skipped out and you lose a match extra fast because you are overwhelmed, you dont care. It only means that you had less competition on your team to beat out for the top damage and the match is over quicker so you can start another and earn more. I sometimes was happy to see the game was lopsided 6 to 4 from the start. One fix I would consider adding to leagues is that you only get negative points if your damage is over something like 100K. This way if you tank a lot and only get 50K damage or something stupid, you dont get any negative points, which means you wont get demoted. To get demoted, you have to show you are trying to help some and still suck. People who join a match and drop out, or just let their bot sit there wont ever get the demotions they want. That or/and if you get less then 60K damage and your team loses, you get fined 3 gold. Nope. I was in a match today, got taken out, when I come back to respawn, I see the map, four triangles all standing there, next to the home beacon which is still white. HELLO BEACON RUSH should be fairly self explanatory...but it's not apparently. Ok nuff ranting for me today. Cya's tomorrow or the next day after.

I'd actually just come in, to ask/rant bout nerfing weapons, but saw this. And I'll prolly make some enemies with this post. Because I know that when ppl like enjoy something, they tend to get bent out of shape if ya criticize it, EVEN IF said criticism is valid. That's just how all we human beings are. We tend to want to defend that which we love. But...here goes.
I disagree, with, and have a problem with their practices re: the Low Priority Que. As I understand them that is. As I understand it, you get put in that. If your using the "cancel" or the "leave game" features. "Too much" setting aside for a moment, that what, constitutes, "too much" is never pointed out/stated. And setting aside the issue I have with the FACT nothing when you first begin playing the game, tells you about the low priority que. Like the tutorial you do for the first ten lvls....
I feel it's wrong, of Pixonic to sanction a player. For using the functions and features, Pixonic themselves put into the game.
It's tantamount in my own not so humble at times, opinion to sanctioning a player, for shooting their thunder cannon's at the enemy. Excuse my french but 「whiskey tango foxtrot」?
Why even make a function available like that, if ur going to punish ppl who use it? That's some real old-style soviet gulag type shyte for ya's there now. Take it from an old American who remembers seeing people shot, trying to climb over the berlin wall. (Yeah I know showin my age, and lots and lots o youngins today don't even know what the berlin wall OR old soviet union, even were suffice to say, NOT pleasant) LO
So because I do like the game, and enjoy playing it, most times on the one hand. On the other I agree with the OP. And this doesn't just go for Pixonic, it's true of all of the game companies out there. IF they, as a company, will not address, reply to, respond to valid, criticism's and serious issues, like lag on servers due to overcrowding on the servers. Then if and when ppl get tired of it and they go to chapter 11 court, oh well that's their tough luck. They'll be broke, and we won't have a game to play anymore.
Someone, who knows someone at Pixonic, needs to get hold of them and remind em, we the players are their bread and butter. And from what I gather there are actual serious issues the players are raising. If Pixonic will not, address or even listen to the players, concerns. And I'm talking valid, legit concern's there, NOT (so and so shot me and ble me up and I dont like it b.s.) Then perhaps we should all withdraw our support from pixonic until they do.
P.S. My intention in saying this, is simply to share MY OWN OPINION and thoughts on the OP. IT is NOT to offend, IF you were I apologize upfront and hope you can overlook any transgression. Regards, Cya's Operator8472 (btw how we change our avatars?)

Hi everyone! Hi there, sorry I didn't know that wld be helpful info or I'd have included in prior post. I'm only bronze 2, I think. I say I think, cause I get out of that one, to silver, then a day later I always get a pop up telling me I been promoted to bronze II again! LOL RE: what Platform, I'm not sure how to answer that q. So here goes. FB? What I mean is this. I go to the FB website then to the games then to war robots. Not on a phone though I use the puter. Weekly activity: Not sure how to answer that question either, other than to say usually I'm playing daily, + usually several hrs a day. Hwvr this past month I was offline due to some health issues I have. Came back to find a mess bout the low priority que....I knew THATS a bad thing from my brief time here. So I sent in a ticket about that. I felt it was highly unfair to throw ya into that, when your not even online to play LOL And if I may, I don't know what some terminology is/means. For example what's tanking, fading, and clubbing mean? All I know is I open my game, and play my mechs best I can, do my missions daily quests to get my AG/AU, try to capture beacons help my teammates win/survive battles...(Yeah I try to help by doing things we wld in the Army, if it had war robots instead of tanks.... like walk right beside/behind ppl so they can stay inside my shields,,,,letting them do damage while I take the hits etc....and as I can+ as the game allows me too, I upgrade weapons/mechs.... so I don't think for example that I'm tanking. See I told ya's I'm older and boring LOL

Sent Pix a polite message asking them if they were aware of the problem and telling them I wanted to keep playing but was afraid I'd end up in LQ. Then I got this back from them this morning.. Sounds encouraging ?: Hi! I am sorry to hear that you faced such difficulties and apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our team is aware of the problem with crashes which appeared in the last update. At the moment we are doing our best in order to collect enough information regarding the problem and find the best solution to it as soon as possible. Feel free to contact us in the future in case any other issue occurs. Thanks for reaching out to Pix about this. I’ve had this happen to me twice now since latest update (Moon and Powerplant). When it happens there’s a slight static sound and the screen freezes for 10 seconds, followed by the app crash. Happy to hear that Pix is on it. As some other people have commented, I’m also having sound issues when other players on the battlefield in-game fire Scourge or Gekkos. The sound blocks all other game sounds and is distracting. Hopefully this also is fixed in next update. And here’s another question; on the new Valley map there’s some pretty cool lighting/particle effects around the beacons. Why wouldn’t Pix update the old maps to match? Their inconsistencies at times makes no sense. Same here, I ALWAYS spawn, start bout three four seconds after everyone else, AND get "hiccup's" where my robot just walks in place,I thought that's just me though....

^^this. Plus to that there's another bug, but I think it goes unnoticed due to the following: 1) Scourges are rare 2) Many people play with no sound. However for me usually the sound of Scourge replace ALL sounds in battle. So when it fired at me I can hear only "whhzhzhzhzh". I also get this scourge sound bug, but not always. I'm iOS and have also been crashing - 3 times today it staggered to a freeze then blackout. Also had some new staggering (visual and sound at the same time) that is different than lag/ choppy. The crashing started for me in July but had been better until v3.2. Now it's bad again. I also get the reconnecting issue as a separate bug, and I swap between a good cell signal and a 150mbs wifi so I know it's not my end. Things seem to be falling apart all over the place with War Robots, like a crippled bot with a damaged leg and only one hard point left. Edit: running iOS 10.3.3 Rhino, how'd ya get a reply at all? I sent a ticket in, got the auto response, and that was it. Nada nothing else....frankly I'm not very impressed with their support system...or rather total lack of any.

The caliber of players and all around good sportsmanship are long gone. Just like human kindness and common sense. Don't get frustrated with the game anymore. If the other players aren't getting beacons on purpose. Leave the game. If 3 or 4 players auto kill their mechs at the beginning because they're too scared or weak to play a certain map because they, (loud baby cry), don't like it. Just leave. If players shoot at you when the game starts, you know they can't be trusted to win the game. Leave the game. I wish there were signs of players who have only 4 or even 3 mechs notated next to their name. That way i could decide to leave early because many of those people, especially in gold league and above cant hang with those with 5 mechs for the long game. I don't get mad anymore. I leave and stay relaxed. I don't give 2 s*!ts if I drop in league status. The leagues are a joke. Maybe i can go back to bronze. At least it was fun. Players do what they want, when they want and don't follow rules of gameplay. Especially new players. People don't care or have a heart to follow rules or what their actions make others feel. Lol. Oh well. I'll just continue to leave when needed and just relax. Humans will never change. Hahahahahahaha I do that a lot!!! Me too, + No, I don't do it intentionally either. Everytime I spawn, my mech drops down out of the sky shooting? And well since (thanks to the lag I think is the issue causing this) I'm ALWAYS the last one to load-drop so I thought everyone's mech did that when loading up. I mean by the time I'm in a board, everyone's already shooting. And no, that' don't mean I dont' try to take beacons or be a good teammate either. we all work with, what intel, and tech we have do we not?

Do NOT follow this advice. What the OP doesn't understand is that if you leave matches you get placed in a separate matchmaking tier called Leavers Queue. LQ is a sort of matchmaking purgatory where you will only face other Leavers and these players will be anything from Recruit League all the way up to the maxed hangars of Champion League. In LQ it's almost impossible to have a competitive game as you almost never have a game of 6 vs 6 (remember, you are playing only with Leavers after all). In fact, I would hazard a guess to say that the reason the OP isn't enjoying his matches is because he already found himself in LQ by accident, probably from skipping maps, and this is the main reason he is not enjoying his matches. Needless to say, if you follow this advice, you will also experience the same level of enjoyment (or lack thereof). While it IS possible to play your way out of LQ by playing every match all the way through, the number of matches required is often relative to how many matches you have left prematurely. Many players find it much easier just to start again on another account and start having fun again right away. In any case, I repeat, do NOT leave matches. You will end up regretting it, just as so many players before you who though it was a good idea at the time. Ignore this warning at your own peril. Golden Sabre SuperHero perhaps we should lock this thread. I would hate a newbie to come on here and experience the same fate... Dark, for a relative newbie to the game here. Uh, how do you know if you are in the Lq, and, if so how do you get out of it? Reason I ask, I have had to leave several times because the game simply locks up on me. And when it does, my Mech won't respond, the game itself won't respond. I can't go to say the menu window, can't get a mech to stop/walk/ fire stop firing etc...it'll start spinning round and round and round eventhough I'm not even touching the mouse. And then, after a match, I can't accept loss/win earnings etc...nothing works! To get things working again. I have to kill it using task manager. But after stumbling across this forum looking for a fix to the prob I have. I find out about this Lq thing and how you get sent there if you leave battles. I'd rather avoid that if I can. Thanks, I'll be watching for a reply, hope your not the wrong one to ask. LOL

Yes, the "temple" board as I call it, (one with the birds chirping in it) always locks up and freezes on me too. And the Desert board, everytime someone shoots a laser anyplace near me. Mech goes haywire just walks on it's own in whichever direction I was headed, and shooting nothing. Won't respond at all. I've had to leave a number of times the past two days because of it. As when it happens, the game just stops responding, and won't respond at all. Won't exit wont let ya claim reward/loss etc...nothing. I am a relative newb, I only started playing this game a few months ago. Man I hope I'm not in this Lq thing I hear about cause of this.
