'' That’s why we’re gathering data and analysing it. And there are already some interesting insights to share. For example, low and middle leagues play all modes almost equally, without any drastic preferences, while higher leagues prefer Beacon Rush over TDM. And higher the league — the bigger this difference gets.'' load of more bullshit. Reading this boggle my mind. First of all, how can you claim that low and middle league players choose to play all modes equally when actually the modes are actually ' random' and not by choice . Yeah.... pixconic more full of shit trying to make themselves look good toward the naive players.

how much do you want to bet that the newer bots & weapons (older ones too: Ex, dash bots) we will not be able to create those components. everything about this game is fabricated to milk the whales as much as possible, there is no way Pixsonic will give the newer contents that easily. Most likely we able make bots that is garbage

I'm fed up pix/mail with they're ability of lying but don't have the ability to fix the real issues here.
The random modes is designed to get the players to spend more $$$ on more hangars to play a specific style for that mode . There was never any real problem with the queue waiting time since the day of this game was born, watch any old clips of war robot youtubers playing solo matches. notice any waiting time take no more than 60 seconds? .
Shocktrain get nerf because payxonic bagged enough money so they get nerf. This how pay 2 win is designed selling power over skill. If player's stick to one play style, payxonic won't make money. what you do? You nerf an item and introduce a new item that is better. This push out the old meta and put them into a new meta play style.
The report tanking form is a joke if they actually fixed the MM they wouldn't need a form.
2.0 work shop is taking forever because they're not making any money out of it.
The community has addressed the main issues here billions of time and yet payxonic & mail has always steered the other direction. I can draw a line that payxonic & mail are only focused on selling power over the moral player's value. In another word, this game is a selling service.

why bother making a guide when clearly pixsonic is going to nerf the dash bots in few months in order to throw the current meta out and "hope" to get the whales buy the new bots.

'' A report system is in our plans so that players could mark abusive behaviour or cheating. The feature is still in development, as we work through different concepts and options but plan to introduce this feature in 2018.'' your tankig report form failed miserable and now your going implement another anti tanking system and this will stop tankers? Aha who they kidding “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”

Lets start off with some truth: our relationship has been on the rocks for a long time now. To be frank a good number of the players feel like they are being ignored, and that your being exploitive. We have had meetings, we have yelled, we have boycotted and yet your hell bent on staying the course that your on.

This is a mistake.

You are a company that once called itself “little Zynga” - they had faith that their marketing efforts would always be able to replenish the customers that they burnt out, burnt through. The problem is that customer acquisition without retention isn’t a way to build a sustainable business, or brand. More importantly the pool of players in the “giant robots” genre isn’t nearly as deep as you might think. Those that enjoy the genre most are fickle, and will be loyal to a fault.

These are the people who can talk about war robots in the same breath as battle tech, mech warrior and Armored core. These are the players who are abandoning your game - the love is gone because the trust is gone.

I don’t know if the choice to isolate yourself from your customers was a willful one - but from the outside looking in it sure looks like you ignore us intentionally. You only seem to show your face in public when people praise you on the few social media platforms that you participate in. We only get a direct response from you when you slip up and let us know that we don’t matter. The pattern is very apparent. You say “however simple human psychology fact - it is more likely for someone to go out there and complain than praise” and we get a player meeting. We protest and you say “how dare you”, and we then get “we hear you”. You slip up and tell us that tanking isn’t really tanking and then you give us a FORM to fill out -

Lets look back on that player meeting - we told you that you were making WR feel like a job. A year on you gave us paper work to fill out as an appeasement strategy.

Lets look at the pattern: You screw up, we complain, you say your going to address it and we buy into it. Or you give us half measures that you later take away. Fundamentally though you never really address the issues, things never really get better.

It took me a long time to figure out why. Not only do you not listen to us, you don’t really use your own game. If the level of play in your last live stream is any indication, you really should spend some quality time with your product. Again, much like Zynga you embraced being data driven but fell into the classic data driven trap because - "If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.” It wasn’t just the live stream that made this clear - it is a LOT of things.

The way you keep buffing molots screams “I never used them” because they weren’t really under powered 2 buffs back - your hell bent on turning the damage knob and you forgot that their big issue is ‘cycle time’. More Power.

Lets look at how players are ranked: More Power

Lets look at how clans are ranked: More Power

Lets look at why tanking is a problem: Power

Lets look at why people hate MM: Power imbalance

How is gold distributed post match: Power

Lets ask a champ why they don’t play KOTH: Because wining helps my league score, but not my activity, not my clan rank — it fails because everything else in your system is about power.

Lets look at how leagues work: You have a power sorting algorithm. You tried winner take all and it failed — and what your left with could find the fattest war robots player if you replaced damage with a scale.


But it isn’t the only issue. War robots used to be about choice - what to purchase, how to fit your bot, what league to play in. You went and took all of that away, you gave us components, and gambling, you made MM a crap shoot. In an impressive move you managed to turn GAME MODES into a lottery. It is as impressive as it is sad that you managed to turn something that might have been an enhancement into something that alienates your players. To quote Paps from the forums:

"Yeah, oddly enough...I tend to not play at all when I can't use my own time as I see fit.

If I wanted to play poker, but every time I went to the casino the only available game was roulette, I'd be just as likely to leave without spending anything as stay and waste my time and/or money doing something I have minimal interest in. Thanks but no thanks."

This was an open letter, and to the players as well.

We need to get behind a simple unified message - one that every one can pick up and get behind, one that is (for a change) demanding a positive change rather than complaining about what has passed. Skill and choice not power and chance. This isn’t about your pet issue - it is about ALL the systemic issues.

Skill and choice… it is a dead simple message that every blogger and youtube who cares about the game, can repeat, and amplify. Those that don’t want to beat the drum of skill and choice, well stop reading, unsubscribe and tell them WHY.

If you are producing a blog or WR videos then you clearly have enough passion to invest in the game, maybe you even love it at some level. Well if you don’t get up and fight FOR it then it will die - maybe not tomorrow but sooner than you think - Skill and Choice is a drum you can beat, it is a positive message you can send.

Just keep repeating the message Skill and Choice not Power and Chance till the fixes are LIVE.

who cares let this game die naturally on its own. They saturated the chance of getting components in 3.8 further just to compel the players to spend their real money into this game. We can draw the line how greedy these guys are.. it must be their culture or their ethnicity ,or even both. as a top tanking clan, we found a way around it.
The only reason MM is never going to be fixed is because they want the premium the player's to take the full edge over the non player's, it's the game design chance over choice. I don't know why they choosed this path but it definitely a toxic one.

Pix has done it again devaluing the currency once again. If you bought gold you can refund it back here is the link https://www.reddit.com/r/walkingwarrobots/comments/8j0rfj/psa_apple_will_grant_refunds_for_any_currency/
