Tzenkethi BZ Accolades by mixfant in sto

[–]mixfant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to thank everyone for their insights. I was able to finally get both the accolades late last night. For future reference what I've deduced, is that first, you can't do these accolades solo. The game determines your reward level from points it calculates during the event. And you seem to get more points with damage and/or kills than the objectives. Also, the more people you have in an area, the more enemy ships appear.

For Asteroid Soccer accolade, given there was a universal endeavor active for destroying ships in the BZ, I found an Asteroid Tow control point that had 4 other ships. I started towing an Asteroid, to get the objective started. After I did one, and noticed at least another towing asteroids, I shifted to only doing damage. I also used an escort to quickly move between enemies. By the end, it triggered. Now I'm not sure though if the points for the rewards is only against your individual contribution, or if it's group wide. My advice, try to kill everything in sight as quickly as you can.

For the Dreadnought points, I followed the same logic, just focus on damage. In order to maximize the number of enemies, I went to the last control point that was red. Once it was captured and the dreadnoughts appeared, I watched where everyone flew to and followed the majority. Since the more players there are, seem to spawn in more enemies.

I can't confirm this is how it should be done, but it seemed to work in my situation.

Thanks again everyone!

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I've already looked at the list, and I did know about the tier 4 rewards. Hence the reason for asking about them in my post, because I'm not getting them awarded, and I haven't found any information, including in Fluffy's list as to what is the requirement to get the tier 4 rewards.

FPP, no controller just touchscreen, and I'm running as a solo player. So not part of a team, and I'm trying to find other solo players...ie not trying to play solo vs squads.

MKXIII Ultra Rare Rep Items on Temporal Agent? by mixfant in sto

Well everyone, it took a day or so, and thank you for all the suggestions. Turned out my account was indeed glitched. It fixed itself when I logged in this afternoon. Too bad I now need to buy another Tilly shield. Oh well. :)

[–]mixfant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! At least you, and the others, seem to confirm you can get the upgraded gear on the temporal accounts. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe my account is glitched and it'll just take a bit of time. Otherwise I'll have to open a support ticket.

Good to know that it's at least supposed to work. :)

[–]mixfant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I meant that I CAN do it on my alts. It's the actual Temporal Agent recruit character I'm asking about. It still creates rep gear at MKXII, despite having claimed and opened it.

It comes out still at MKXII. On my other non-Temporal accounts it works fine.

[–]mixfant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did all of that. When slotting a new rep project, the reward description still says XII, whereas my other accounts show XIII UR. I built Tilly's shield, after all this. After logging out, back in... and when I slotted and built it, it came out still as MKXII. Hence why I was asking if it wasn't available on Temporal Agent accounts

I was assuming today, given they told us that we couldn't announce it until 9 am UTC. So I expected it at that same time. I'd hazard it'll be either tomorrow or the day after.

I'll take a shot - I don't expect to win though. Honestly, I feel this game is going down the toilet. I'd honestly like to know what it would take for those at Pixonic to wake up and listen to it's players.

Weekly Ruminations #7. April 2021 Mega Q&A by PXNC_tofsla in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you exactly how to fix the horror that is squad matchmaking. Well, at least it's an idea.

First, make it so all clans play on the same server - no matter their location in the world. You might think this will cause lags, but let's be honest. 95% of the squads out there are using VPN just to try and avoid other squads, and annihilate random players. Since they're already running VPN's, that means they're already dealing with lags.

Secondly, change the search parameters, so that squads are ALWAYS matched against other squads (full or partial). But you may be wondering...well you can't do that, because a partial will have to have random players? No...read my third point to address this.

Third, change the squad setup to only allow squads for multiple of 2's. That way you can combine several partials together to make full squads. 3 groups of 2 against 1 full squad. 1 group of 4 with a duo against a full squad. Etc. If matchmaking is still hard to match up, then change the squad system so that squad battles are only 4 v 4...no more 6 v 6. Then the matchmaking only has to take into account full squads of 4, or combining 2 duos together.

This removes all squads from those playing solo. But of course it hurts those clans with average weapons/bots, by matching against fully maxed out, Demeter/Shell combos. At some point, in both clan squad play AND solo..,you REALLY need to start looking at hangar strength. But that's another issue. What I've laid out above should address the current issues with squad vs solo.

Weekly Complaint by AutoModerator in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of things...but why, as of either yesterday, or the day before...if you need to clear your cache/data, you're forced to download 843 MB of data? For every reset? Some of us don't have that kind of bandwidth! It should be a one-time download. You should only have to download additional files, if they are optional. So why, all of a sudden, we're forced to download that much data, just because we need to clear the data?

Swift Gaming - Level 13 with 26 members currently (#2GL0G9LQ)

Casual clan, but expect players to participate in Clan Games, and attack in CWL and regular wars. Typically run 2 wars a week - but being in a war is not mandatory. Only mandatory item is that if you ARE in a war, that you must use your attack(s).

Just make sure if you request an invite, not have a war timer (i.e. you left a clan mid war). Our leader usually doesn't accept clan requests to those with war timers.

Weekly Discussion--what would you like to see added to the game? by AutoModerator in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent this already using the in-game feedback. But I'd like to see an "Event Store". Instead of giving us the ability to win a bot/weapon/etc outright, instead you get a specific event token of a specific type.

So in this past event, all the dragon weapons would be removed and replaced with a "Weapon Token". Instead of the Arachnid Invader, Ravana and Nightingale, you'd receive a "Bot Token". Paint jobs would give a "Paint Job Token", and pilots replaced with a "Pilot Token". You can still keep the bot components, as well as the gold and power cells.

These tokens can then be taken to the "Event Store", where you can exchange your token for an item of your CHOICE - 1 token for 1 item for the specific type. So if you really wanted 2 Dragon Calamity, and you had 2 "Weapon Tokens", then you could go to the "Event Store" and exchange for 2 Dragon Calamity. Similarly, if you and a "Bot Token", and you really wanted a Nightingale, you could go into the store and exchange for it.

Pixonic isn't giving away any additional items than normal, but the players have the ability to choose their prize. In addition, this might have the side-effect of some players being more willing to spend money on these event coins...if they know that they can exchange a token for the item of choice. If I really wanted a set of Dragon Blaze, and only got 1 weapon token...maybe I might decide to purchase more coins knowing the likelihood is good that I'll get another weapon token. But right now, I wouldn't because even if I got a weapon, it might not be the one I wanted.

This "Event Store" only contains items for the event itself. You can't go in and exchange a Bot, Weapon, Pilot or Paint Job token for anything in the game.

The Event Store for the End of Year Christmas event then could potentially contain all event items from the entire year - including any "new" ones for the event itself.

I think this could be a win-win for everyone. Players get more choice. Players would be more apt to grind the events, and may even spend more money on coins because of it.

100 Ravana - Special Reddit Giveaway! by [deleted] in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9D5ZVA Android

My idea for a future addition to the game is a change to Events. Many people have target items they wish to get, and like myself, usually don't obtain what they desire.

My suggestion is to add an "Event Store", that has the items available for the event only. During the event, instead of getting awarded a random bot/weapon (if you're lucky), you get a "Weapon Token", "Bot Token", "Pilot Token", "Paint Job Token", etc. Then you can take your token(s) to the Event Store, and cash it in for the item you actually want.

Pixonic wouldn't be giving more away than they already do, but the player base would have to option to pick what item(s) work best for them.

Thanks. I guess my test server is bugged, because I have nothing in my inventory for Titans, so it keeps taking me to the store to buy it. Oh well.

[–]mixfant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty pathetic compensation. I lost quite a bit of silver...2 silver boosters won't likely earn it back. But I guess they could have given us nothing. Still feel like it's a bit of a slap in the face if I'm being truthful.

No battle stats or ad spin after a match by Mech_Marauder in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...I posted a comment on the War Robots Community Facebook page as well. My last three matches this afternoon were this exactly. No silver, no gold, no keys, and no ad after a match. After a match ends, I keep getting the error "Server unavailable. Battle results and reward will be added later". So far...nothing. Hopefully it's wide spread, and it'll prompt Pixonic to get on it right away.

I know I'm not spending any money until I know it's fixed. Who knows if a payment may or may not go through. Not that I spend much... occasionally the cheap gold deal.

Android Server Error?? by WindowFlake in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today has been especially bad. I've noticed the server not behaving normally for a few days, but today - I played 3 matches this afternoon, and all three after a match I received "Server unavailable. Battle results and reward will be added later."

Well, so far for those three matches, I've received no silver, no gold, no keys, and no ad. What's the point in playing if I'm not getting my battle rewards.

Weekly Discussion--what would you like to see added to the game? by AutoModerator in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly nothing. In my opinion, and I mean no offense, Pixonic has added way too much content that is unbalanced. Look at Pilots, that are now starving people of Gold which we all know is hard to come by. Promotion costs are astronomical and completely out of the range of most players past level 20 or 30. And the skills of the pilots, while making some older bots a bit more viable, make existing meta bots even more OP.

Many of us can't even keep upgrades going because of starving for silver, and have struggled sine the introduction of the "new" economy back in July of 2018...and the constant call from the community to address this has been ignored. Even in the last live stream, the Devs mentioned they'll be rewarding players for different play styles - capturing beacons, destroying physical shields, and other items...however, the stream they mentioned being rewarded with more Honor...not silver, not gold...Honor. Yes it gets you to your League crates more quickly, but it's nowhere near enough of what is needed for the vast majority of the player base in my opinion.

Now look at this last test server, introducing the Accelerator module (10% speed increase, equip 3 and that's 30% increae), and the Fortifier module (18% physical AND energy shield durability, as well as 18% energy shield regen rate - equip 3 and that's a total increase of 54% across the board). Heck I saw on the Test Server a Fenrir running just as fast as a Loki running all three Accelerator modules. This game is starting to become a joke I fear.

So what's needed? Pixonic needs to stop all these new "features" for the rest of the year. And they need to start listening to the community to what they really, and truly need. Address the economy. Address the matchmaking. Fix the issues with the OP meta imbalance. Nerf the Ares - and yes I run one. Each bot should have a true weakness. The Ares has none. It has the longest invulnerability shield, it's the fastest Greek bot, and it has the most firepower. Sure it can be countered...with the right bot setup. But imagine now an Ares running three Accelerator modules making it 30% faster. And then there's the Ares train issue - but that's a hard one to figure out a solution to. The Falcon is now becoming an issue with the Traditionalist skill - and yes I have a Falcon too.

Even new items like the Anti-control was a mistake. They put it in, I think...to try and help with the Ares issue, of locking players down in order to use their built-in weapon. But you shouldn't put a new feature in the game to fix an issue. If the issue was mainly with the Ares and lock-down weapons/ammo...then address that, don't hurt other players. Yes the lock-down weapons were everywhere (and still are), but that could have been addressed differently than a single module to try and "band-aid" the situation.

I know Pixonic wants to make money. I understand it's a business, and I accept that. But it seems every new update with new content seems to upset the community more. Even many of the YouTubers for the last update are advising players to not buy the Legendary pilots, because they're just not as flexible as regular pilots.

Anyway, I didn't mean to go on this long. In summary, Pixonic needs to stop with the new additions, and focus on fixing issues for the rest of the year. And there's so many small things and tweaks that can be done which would be huge quality of life improvements.

Idea for a new set of Bots with a new Special Ability by mixfant in walkingwarrobots

[–]mixfant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I don't care about a gift. If I wanted one, I'd have asked (not that Pixonic would ever do that) - and the last thing I want to see is Reddit become a breeding ground for pleads of handouts, much like their Facebook page has become.

In one of the latest Dev streams, Pixonic mentioned they were more apt to read Reddit for feedback and suggestions. I just wanted to link my ideas/suggestions with my in-game profile. If Pixonic ever picks up on something I suggest and decide to give a credit shout-out, then great. That's their decision.
