Problems with Mech Arena
these are some of the problems that I have with Mech Arena. and possible solutions
Bots. In order to compinsate for the atrocious AI, bots have been made STUPIDLY powerful. once you unlock implants they will always have max level pilots with max implants, not to mention there weppons and mechs, which are always at least 1 tear above yours. (excluding those people who over level one of there mechs) the only time this isn't true is for max or close to max level players. but bot AI is so bad that they can't acomplish anything when fighting skilled players unless they are significantly stronger then them. you might have also noticed that bot will always target real players over any other target. It also feel like they have eyes on the back of there heads, but are compleatly blind to the minimap. unless they are running Mortars, in witch case they will continuously lob shells at you untill they can't see you on the minimap or you're dead.
the solution is to improve bot AI and reduce the level of equipment they can use, including pilots and implants. (I realize that the DEVS are already working on this)
Mortar. reduce its DMG and increase its AOE. the problem with mortar is you can't hit anyone unless you have a legendary implant, but if you have on then you can wipe out the entire opposing team easily. mortar should do a small ammout of DMG in a large radious, not a kill zone. alternatively you could make in a legendary weppon
concerning Tournament mode, istead of having people play on the same map every time, have it cycle between two or three (or four) different maps throughout the day. or have the map selection be normal but with fewer choices (two, or three, or four). this way it will be less repetitive and boring.
The last thing I want to mention is the new progress system. I feel like when it comes out, most of the mechs and weppons will cost A-coins. I think that around half of all mechs and weppons should cost creddits, even if it's a lot of creddits (like 2,000,000 or more). creddits feel easier to save up than A-coins, even if it takes the same amount of time. I would rather save up 5,000,000 creddits over 8,000 A-coins and instead use my A-coins to upgrade mechs I already have. (also make A-coins more consistantly obtainable)
Personoly I like mech arena and don't want it do die out, but I,ve been unable to play it and have fun, due to the vast number of problems. I'm going to start up again once the new progress system come out and would apreciate it if somone would give the estimated release date. (I would also like to thank the DEVS for there hard work [I'm assuming they are actualy working to fix the problems])
