Hello! We're continuously enhancing our matchmaking system. While it may occasionally have hiccups due to our adaptable balance and attempts by some to exploit it, rest assured, we're actively devising solutions to prevent such occurrences!

Bots in the game can be strong and have good equipment, but they don't think as deeply as real players. We're working on making the AI more advanced to act more like real people.

In the meantime, we suggest tweaking your Hangar a bit and teaming up with friends whose SP is similar to yours. Give matchmaking a try with these adjustments!

"occasionally"? No Drew it's not "occasionally" when it's programmed to be the way it is and it happens ALL THE TIME. 

Bots are programmed to cheat, of course they aren't like human players and they will never play anywhere near a real human player. They are programmed to cheat real players!

Not everyone has the option of "tweaking our hanger" unless you think everyone has an account with everything free in it like yours has. We don't have that option like you do unless we pay multiple thousands of dollars to have a the freedom to "tweak our hangers".

Mmh the matchmaking of the bots alone is TRASH. 1k hanger in custom match goes against a 3K hanger pwr bot. Matchmaking is LITERALLY×3 your hanger power

You never get tired of telling lies dont you?

get tired ??  they just copy and paste all their replies !!! LOL. 

I told them they have such easy jobs..... seriously bunch of useless supports, I kinda feel sorry for them.. 

Do you get paid to lie? I did the research.  I combed through years of old posts and it's the same thing. With the same replies.  

 The only "improvements" I've seen are new BS playing mechs that are $100 for people to play like AHs. And bots to make the game horrible.  

Tell me why opponent bots are always tanks with dome shields and mine are entry level scouts?

FIX THE FREAKING GAME ALREADY. 

I may add: stop bots from focusing human players! all vs all battles are just frustrating, and respawn points... at least MARK them so we can now from where som overpowered bot will shoot our backs, at least...

They get paid to just copy and paste all day long.........

THE USUAL LIE, THE BOTS COPY OUR BEHAVIOR EXACTLY, record the games and report them to the AI ​​OF THE BOTS, . you can see it very well, but also add their weaponry and their MODs. and the game is over, continue with the AI, even if you see that the opinions are contrary. there is no logic in your story .. the bots, are exaggeratedly strong, and equipped, and copy exactly the dynamics of the real players, which you recorded and transmitted to the AI.. no, that's not good .. only that they the AI ​​do not miss a shot, while the human has the reasonable doubt of failing sometimes..

I took a break from playing for a week.. the very first match in 2v2 after a week of not even logging in was me +bot vs a player +bot and before I could get 2 steps out of where I spawned in there was an ai bot just meters in front of me already just moving without any care of danger and it 1 shot me as my team ai bot ran without slowing down straight to the real player and gave the real player it's back and died instantly lol. I guess it's my fault though for not spawning a shield mech and dropping the shield at the same time I spawn to protect myself from the cheating ai bots. I didn't wait or delay my spawn in and I wasn't lagging. The game was cheating for the enemy team and it used the ai bots to do so. I just logged back out and un-installed the game, it's not worth the time dealing with such bs.

This is what developers don't take into account. THE HUMAN FACTOR. An AI BOT fears nothing, it knows when you are aiming at it, it knows where you are even if it doesn't see you on the map. It hits and knows how to avoid obstacles. And if you pay attention they are faster than all your mechs, they are always on the control point, or where you least expect them, you don't see them on the map, but they always appear where needed.. yes they are faster even to capture a control point. and don't say otherwise, I have recorded too many events like this. no, it's not a game, it's just a waste of time. THIS DAMNED STUPID AI will ruin many young people who come in and see these FAKE PLAYERS, GENERATED BY AI, WHO WILL MAKE NEW PLAYERS BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE GOOD PLAYERS, THAT THEY TOO SHOULD HAVE THOSE WEAPONS AND BOTS. for this they are always efficient and super equipped, THEY ARE DECEIVING the real and few human players. I understand what he said DEVELOPERS MUST BE PAID, of course, but they must also GIVE, not just receive, so if a game is developed and designed to clean your wallet, then I do not support scam games. if a game gives me fun, I support it,. but here there is no more fun only BOT, and A.I. garbage game, and you poor boy who offends others who have been playing for 4 months, what do you want to know? you play with a low hangar, and you despise the paying players, who complain about their money being thrown away uselessly.. Oh, to feel strong you have to spend huge amounts of money, for a game managed by the AI, NO, I want to play with my ability and not because I have the latest and most powerful weapon, which will be nerfed in a few months.. no, I don't want the AI ​​to win the game instead of me. At least don't add BOTs to 2 vs 2, at least fix the balancing system there. but WE KNOW, the work is in progress.. at the moment they are focused ON MAKING the AI ​​MORE REALISTIC, COLD-BLOODED, AND WITHOUT MISTAKES.. the balancing will happen .... after a few years ... hoping within the rebirth of Christ.

No accountability whatsoever for differences in inventory power.  Put into battles with opponents having, not just double the inventory power, but 4 and 5 times as much!  Similar hanger power is meaningless when an opponent has 5 times the inventory to choose from.  Game balance is just a myth! 

i

3 times the inventory power.  Matchmaking at its worst. Revokers, revokers, revokers, revokers. Too bad Plarium cares more about putting out more mechs and more weapons instead of fixing the MASSIVE GAME IMBALANCE issues.

You can NOT continue like this, fighting like crazy, and seeing yourself in the lead, only to suddenly see games lost in extremis, with inexplicable enemy recoveries... or just because they run revokers and seekers... it is absolutely not an exciting and frenetic game, and only pathetic and frustrating,,, for those who do not spend fortunes. If it has to be exciting and thrilling only for those who pay, then it will always remain the worst game ever, graphics and modes do not serve to provide fun for players, but only a fair BALANCE OF GAMEPLAY, OR IT CAN DO and makes a game exciting and satisfying.. otherwise it remains only a speculative method. to get rich, without worrying about anything else.. RECEIVE AND GIVE,

i

Double and triple inventory power.  Plarium's idea of appropriate matchmaking or willful disregard for its players?  Either way, mech arena is in a sad state.

see ...garbage, and we should ask for the rights, because they are using your games to train the AI, the biggest garbage there is, which is nothing more than your actions reflected in the BOTs. game to forget, they are cheating you guys.. every day the gameplay gets worse. but what are we doing here getting nervous watching games won by the AI?? or by players who cheat the system with low hangar.. pfff. scum of a game..,

I will say, I don't think it's the matchmaking that is the problem. It's the power levels, they are too close. You have the OP mechs like Seeker, Deathwalker, Nomad, and the Dreadnought with 5 star power all around 550. And they are fighting against mechs like Arachnos, Guardian, and Ares, just to name a few, which with 5 stars, all have around 450 - 500 power. The power level for those OP mechs are way to low. Even if those lower mechs have a powerful weapon, the fight is still in favor of the OP ones. I just don't understand how they come up with the power numbers. Even the power numbers for weapons are too close.

And since I can't access mods yet, do mods have a power level? Because it seems like they don't when I look at similar mechs to mine, and they add a lot of power to a mech.

And of course, the dreaded bots. Why do the bots have more powerful weapons then I do? Shouldn't they be equal to me? I can see if you let an actual human player enter the game that is beyond my power level. But you control the bots, so they should be pretty equal to me when they enter a match.

For people that have either been playing for a long time or spending money, it could be easy to get their inventory power pretty high, more so for someone that is a completist that wants all the mechs and weapons even if they never plan on using them. But since they have soo much to choose from when making their hanger, that inventory power should come into play some how with the matchmaking process.

One big suggestion to change tournaments is to have the brackets set up with the hanger power, with inventory power playing some part in it. Like only 0 - 2k hanger power get grouped up, then 2k- 5k only get grouped up. I am currently at 2737 hanger power, but I get into brackets with 10k hanger power? When you get into the FFA tourneys, I will never have a chance to get a high ranking to get the A-coin I need to get better.

This is all I can think of how to word it for now.

Yeah fixing the power levels would be a huge step in the right direction! Lots of posts have suggested this.. whether Plarium does something about it or not is questionable.

Regarding grouping in tournaments, I had a suggestion that I feel would make it fair for everyone. It would help the lower scoring players without hurting the top scoring ones. See https://forum.plarium.com/en/mech-arena/702_game-discussion/1713932_improving-grouping-in-tournament-heats/ . 

I haven't started using mods yet, but per my understanding they do add to the power level.

Like a 2 vs 2 I was just in. Again, my hanger power is 2737. My team member was 3317. We were against a team with 4020 and 3745. The 3745 person had a seeker with fragment guns. We destroyed them in the first round, then the next 2 they just used that seeker and destroyed us. My shock pulse had no effect on it when I was watching for it and hit it before they even fired. But still, being out powered by 1008 and 1283, what could I really do?
