War Robots: Frontiers

War Robots: Frontiers

Not so pay to win
I would say this game is in the gray zone when it comes pay to win. Now we need to look at what pay to win is. Currently I cannot spend money to get an advantage that non paying players can earn in game. There is notting you can buy that distinctly gives you an advantage.

Here is where the gray begins and no one is talking about. You can buy premium currency and turn it into to scrap and in turn upgrade your weapons and modules. This is truly what makes your builds more powerful. Base robots are pretty well balanced for the type. Even with that you can only get so far because you need the other currency obtained from daily and weekly missions to upgrade. Even if I wanted I couldn’t max out a part without playing.

Agreed the salvage can net a pretty gain but even then you get hard locked with Intel.
So eventually say.. You level up via salvage the intel will gate you every single time.
Premium jobs tend to add intel so that's a bit of a red flag but it's so many days since I saw an actual premium job that I can't truly say "it give intel" but I feel like it did. Because since that bug hit intel is so slow it's actually just a big ole gate on salvage spamming.

Lost the discussion at "cannot spend to get an advantage that non paying player can earn"

THE FACT THAT PLAYERS CAN EARN IT FOR FREE IS IRRELEVANT !

Being earnable in games doesnt change the fact that your times will be mediocre doesnt change the fact that some will have a nice advantage even if temporarly doesnt change the act that they try to push greedy schemes detrimental to the game health.
I didn't get any normal currency or exp after a while. only through the premium I was gifted I was able to keep grinding. how is that not pay to win? I couldn't earn coin or exp without premium.

I think that's a flaw in the non rewards at the end of match deal.
I've been steady testing stupid builds all day and haven't run into a cap.
If there is a cap that would be so dumb.

You need to be a little more specific. You get three daily tasks that net you 700 gold and 10 intel each. Premium just gives you two additional daily contracts.

Basic matches only net you gold depending on your performance

I didn't get any basic rewards for playing game. No coin or exp.

I only got rewards through premium.

Can't get any more specific than that. kek.

Under jobs tab do you see daily/weekly tasks? Are they completed?

At the end of the match does it take you to the score board screen or back to your home screen?

You should be getting gold every match. If your not then most likely a bug then. Devs are aware of the issues so we should be getting a hot fix when they figure it out with some compensation.
