Sometimes, it feels like I’m the last F2P player.

I have been playing this game for a year this Christmas, and I've enjoyed playing it ever since. I have played many bots and players who can shoot through walls, around them, and kill me by shooting the air next to me (not using an AOE damaging weapon). I am in Tier 5 of the gear hub, and I play people with all sorts of things I don't even have access to. My question: what's up with the bots? Why on earth do they have EM rifles, disc launchers, Gatecrashers, and miniguns? Of course, I bought disc launcher 8s. I even bought carbine 12 and now have a second copy and brickhouse before they were taken of the XP progress path.

But anyways, why do I always feel like I'm that last F2P (free to play) player in the whole game? Everyone around me has got OP items, and now the boys too? It just makes my experience so awful. I don't understand why the bots seemed to change overnight. Just two days ago, I was playing bots with fragment guns, helix racks, shadows, and guardians. So why am I suddenly playing against zephyrs, gatecrashers, disc launchers, EM rifle, minigun, redeemers, redoxes, surges, hemlocks, scorpiuses, onyxes, and railguns???

I do not even stand a chance. And why did this all happen so fast? I understand that as you progress and upgrade your gear, you play harder bots. But I haven't upgraded anything in weeks!!! I upgraded the rank of my stalker from 3 to 4 stars over a week ago!!!

So, please actually tell the devs about my experiences. The only reason people come on this forums page is to tell you about the faults in this game because the once did or do love this game and fear for it.

Also, Crystal Drew, if you need evidence of the match-ups and really good bots, you can look up King'sArena channel on YouTube and watch the video entitled "Tournament Play".

Hello! We appreciate your feedback as well as the criticism. I've stated many times on the forum that we are collecting, processing, and analyzing ALL the feedback on all the social networks we have. Still, sometimes, we can't replay everything directly due to the significant amount of messages we receive, but be sure that we keep an eye on everything and that our team knows all the relevant issues, speculations, and stuff.

There can be several points that led to such an issue. Firstly, the Matchmaking system may not be that effective due to the various Squad Powers the players have, the abusers trying to hack it, and the wide variety in Hangars itself. Currently, we are developing the improvements for Matchmaking, so this issue is expected to be fixed or at least significantly improved later!

The second point is bots. We use the bots when there's a lack of online players with approximately the same Squad Power. Due to the different time zones and the already-mentioned wide variety in Hangars, it happens sometimes. However, our bots are not players and can't perform as well as a player. They don't have a deep strategy, real-time analyses, and stuff. That's why sometimes a bot can be equipped with extremely good Content - to keep it competitive. However, it's a temporary solution, and we are constantly working on the bots to make their behavior more like a real player.

Dude, you are not the only one.  Reading your story up there, its pretty close to mine.  I started at the same time and have had many of the same struggles.  I really thought that the introduction of the tier system would give the devs another leaver to pull for match making, but it doesn't seem that way.  For me, I gage it by the number of bastions and orions I have to go against - its outrageous.  Nearly all of my oponents have them and I'm not even close to having them unlocked.  

Anyway, hang in there.

Thanks Crystal Drew. I think I speak for many of us players when I say that we appreciate the work you do for us. Although what I said earlier may seem harsh, sometimes it feels like us F2Ps are ignored.

I just fought a lot of battles in a Cernao with 2 opponents, one with 240 thousand kills and 22k hangar power, the other with 145k kills and 17k hangar power, mine and 6,600... needless to say the crushing defeat, for some time it goes on like this, and it's not bearable, I'm left alone last, and in a short time my companions are destroyed, in the end I realize that there are 3-4 OPPONENTS against only 1. remained on the field, and the situation was very uncomfortable,
