User:Golurk 88

Please do not spam my message wall. If you question is related to the wiki, game or WoT however, then by all means ask ;)

If you read any of my blogs, remember that they did have many comments before I changed my username, and for some reason they didn’t register :( (E.g I had 138 on my Abilities blog).

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please DO NOT EDIT OR COPY my profile. The information displayed here is for my primary account which is on iOS. Click 'Open' to see the sections of my profile below and see you on the battlefield! :D

NOTICE: Due to War Robots’ current Pay-To-Win state which has showed no signs of changing, I have lost most of my interest in the game. I very rarely play but for now I will remain active on the wiki.

However, I am sadly considering the option of leaving the wiki. It’s been a great place for socialising and I’ve made quite a few good online friends, but the p2w state of the game is a pain. Several wiki users that I know are considering leaving and if they do then I might follow :(

Introduction:
Hi there everyone! I am Golurk 88 (AKA BB Gun) and I hope you enjoy or appreciate my contributions to this cool wiki. My role in the wiki is the monitoring of discussions, advice on how to use heavy, silver and other niche robots in the meta as well as general tips on robot builds and strategy.

I often work with Piisfun, Icefirepheonix, Alias3002 and MKsmashed to keep the wiki an informative, fun and safe place. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. (I also sometimes work with Lion10903 and used to work alongside the no-longer active Guard10120.)

What I specialise in on the wiki is the creation of different blogs on robots, weapons and strategies in the game, as well as a few guides on the wiki and of course, the upkeep of robot/weapon pages (I usually tend to edit the Strategy section or Possible Setups, which Icefirephoenix and I created).

All core facts about my hangar (e.g weapon levels) are correct as of early 2019, and are if they are outdated at some point it is never by more than 1 level. However as my currencies are constantly changing, I will not be listing them.

I am also rather relaxed about most of the rules, although things that I don’t appreciate are spam, profile copying, swearing or vandalism of pages etc, all of which will end up with me using my powers to the furthest extent to stop the rule-breaking. Don’t confuse my leniency for weakness.

Note: As shown by the picture below, my profile is rather messy and is undergoing maintenance.

Blogs:
This is my speciality on the wiki. While other users have created some user blogs, we all do them on different topics (e.g Piisfun on templates and coding, Icefirephoenix on updates and GD-2 Predator on 183mm Tea Dispensers). My blogs are on many different robots and weapons as well as in-battle and general strategy. Enjoy!

Note: Don’t copy my blogs or blog ideas. Expect trouble if you do.

My Hangar:
August 2018: Due to increased difficulty in actually not being meched out within the first 5 minutes of the game or being annihilated by Orkan Spectres, I have recently been steadily replacing my obsolete robots in my hangar and upgrading the rest. I’ve also used this opportunity to include some fun, yet adequate, setups in my hangar.

November 2018: Note - The first and most important stage of my hangar upgrade plan has been completed (acquisition and upgrading of an Invader). Stage 2 will be very long term and will probably last around a year or more (acquisition and upgrading of a Bulwark, Ember and Ancile).

January 2019 Update: As War Robots is now ridiculously pay-to-win and player unfriendly, Stage 2 of my Hangar Upgrade Plan has been shelved, probably indefinitely. I very rarely play War Robots now because...well, you all know why and play a lot more WoT Blitz.

As a result of the above all the statistics listed below are correct and will likely remain so for a long time.

My Top 10 Achievements in WR:
Note: They are not in order
 * Getting 4 kills in a Thunder/Punisher T Boa out of my 8 kills in one match, whilst breaking my damage record! (4 kills in a Boa, 8 kills overall and new damage record...I couldn't have asked for more!


 * Single-handedly killing an Orkan Spectre (who attacked me using Descend) in my Taran Fujin before going on to ambush and take out a Taran Spectre.


 * Killing a Double Thunder Natasha in a Tulumbas/Magnum Rhino, capping a beacon before killing a circling Thunder Carnage only by using my Magnums with my shield up.


 * Killing a Double Thunder Natasha in my Thunder Raijin, capping a beacon, then killing that player's other Double Thunder Natasha when it spawned on the beacon before I captured it. (Poor Double Thunder Natasha)


 * Getting through Bronze and low Silver leagues with : Thunder/Punisher/Noricum Vityaz, Kang-Dae/Punisher T/Pinata Golem, Molot/Molot/Molot/Molot GI Patton and later a Nashorn/Punisher T Boa (all my gear at that time was lvl 3-5)


 * Getting into Gold League and surviving (for the moment) against the army of Dash Bots (with Shocktrains/Orkans etc) and Lancelots with my non P2W stuff (no money spent on this game for me, just a lot of saving up!)


 * Almost single-handedly killing a Zeus Fury in a Taran Fujin!


 * Single-handedly killing a Thunder Fury and Thunder/Taran Inquisitor (both full health) in 10 seconds with my Thunder Raijin on TDM


 * Killing an enemy Carnage, Natasha, Hover, Lancelot and Fujin...in my Taran Fujin


 * Coming 2nd and dealing over 1 million damage in Skirmish FFA (the first time I've ever done well in FFA)

Things I enjoy about WR and the Wiki:

 * Teamwork
 * Coordination


 * Tactics and strategies that require some skill (not pay to win)
 * Close combat brawling


 * Interesting and effective builds
 * Winning through teamwork, coordination and skill (well deserved wins)


 * Just having fun
 * Battle fought to the last (only if we win)


 * Crushing enemy robots through sheer firepower (especially in my Thunder Raijin)
 * Crazy and chaotic brawls involving several teammates and enemy players (about 2-3 each side!)


 * Spawn raiding the enemy team in battles
 * Beacon Rush


 * Fun battles where everyone is in Destriers or Cossacks etc
 * Annoying other players every so often in a Zenit Butch (I actually get some kills in it when I use it, but I do backpack and after a few minutes, I will usually change into another of my robots to help my team.)
 * Killing Pay to Win noobs who are devoid of any tactical skill whatsoever but rely on their overpowered and expensive gear. That gives me a lot of pleasure!


 * Buying new stuff to complete an awesome build I've been patiently saving up for
 * Fujins, Raijins, Rhinos, and Leos


 * Interesting debates and talking on threads
 * A lot of other stuff

Things I Don't Enjoy About WR and the Wiki
This is mostly things I don’t like in WR, but also a few irritating things on the wiki:


 * Pay to win players without skill who rely on their overpowered gear (e.g Orkan Spectres)
 * Teammates who self-destruct all their robots until they reach their last one because they're tankers


 * Players who can be a liability e.g getting in your way and blocking your shots or not capping nearby beacons
 * Dash Bots except the Kumiho


 * Being meched out early in the match
 * RDBs


 * Trollers
 * Anything with 3 or more orkans


 * Shocktrains
 * Canyon Map


 * Snipers who contribute little to the game except irritation (they should backpack instead of camp)
 * Teammates who ignore neutral beacons right next to them (there was once a Trebuchet Carnage on Springfield map who was literally camping just next to our left beacon on the dam...I had to cap it instead in my Leo as he ignored my signal shots...a LEO!)


 * Pixonic breaking the economy by making everything extremely expensive to get and to upgrade...also by increasing production times on WSP 2.0.
 * Users constantly saying that Zenits/Noricum/Écus are overpowered and that the Shutze is the best bot in the game. Especially with the latter. Yes, Shutze should be returned to the game...but when you’re talking about real advice and meta setups, I couldn’t care less about the Shutze. It’s a crap bot only for beginners and as a nostalgic display in one’s inventory.


 * Ranters who don't contribute anything except complaints
 * Having my profile copied
