Mech Arena Roundup 02/15/24

Mech Arena Roundup 02/15/24

📍 There's a lot happening here at Mech Arena HQ. We've got some exciting new content in the works, along with an array of updates to keep the game fresh and challenging for everyone. Here's what's coming up:

1️⃣ More variants of our hottest new Legendary Weapons are on the way. Pod Guns 6 and 12, as well as Particle Beams 10 and 16 will be available across upcoming Events. Watch out for an all-new Legendary Assault Weapon and Pilot too.

2️⃣ We'll soon be making adjustments to the following Weapons:

🔸 Arc Torrents: 

Optimal Range will increase for all variants (0-15m → 0-30m), and - along with Max Range - will remain the same across all Ranks. 

It will be possible to increase Max Range with Implants, but there will be Damage falloff beyond Optimal Range. 

Damage per Magazine will also be adjusted (Provided numbers - Damage per Magazine for the Rank 6 Level 7 Weapon. The Damage per Magazine adjustments for other Weapon Ranks/Levels are proportional).

  • Arc Torrent 6: 50500 → 42075
  • Arc Torrent 10: 84150 → 70125
  • Arc Torrent 12: 100975 → 84150

🔸 Disc Launchers

Damage beyond Optimal Range will be decreased. Splash Damage will be reduced the further enemies are from its point of impact, and Splash Damage will no longer be able to deal increased Damage to the sides and rears of Mechs.

🔸 Nade Launchers 

Damage will be increased (Provided numbers - Damage per Magazine for the Rank 6 Level 7 Weapon. The Damage per Magazine adjustments for other Weapon Ranks/Levels are proportional). 

  • Nade Launcher 6: 37472 → 42192
  • Nade Launcher 8: 49960 → 56248
  • Nade Launcher 10: 62448 → 70312
  • Nade Launcher 12: 74944 → 84368
  • Nade Launcher 16: 99912 → 112488

🔸 Cryo Launchers 

Damage will be increased (Provided numbers - Damage per Magazine for the Rank 6 Level 7 Weapon. The Damage per Magazine adjustments for other Weapon Ranks/Levels are proportional).

  • Cryo Launcher 6: 32202 → 36252
  • Cryo Launcher 8: 42930 → 48339
  • Cryo Launcher 10: 53667 → 60426
  • Cryo Launcher 12: 64404 → 72513
  • Cryo Launcher 16: 85869 → 96678

🔸 Miniguns 

Damage will be increased (Provided numbers - Damage per Magazine for the Rank 6 Level 7 Weapon. The Damage per Magazine adjustments for other Weapon Ranks/Levels are proportional).

  • Miniguns 6: 251600 → 267200
  • Miniguns 8: 335600 → 356600
  • Miniguns 10: 419600 → 445800
  • Miniguns 12: 503400 → 534800
  • Miniguns 16: 671400 → 713400

🔸 Chain Guns

Damage will be increased (Provided numbers - Damage per Magazine for the Rank 6 Level 7 Weapon. The Damage per Magazine adjustments for other Weapon Ranks/Levels are proportional).

  • Chain Gun 6: 71900 → 86300
  • Chain Gun 8: 95900 → 115100
  • Chain Gun 10: 119900 → 143900
  • Chain Gun 12: 123900 → 172600
  • Chain Gun 16: 191800 → 230200

3️⃣ We're hard at work on a new PvE Campaign, soon to be made available to all players. We're just finalizing the details, but we can announce that it will feature one of our Legendary Attacker Mechs! Although this Campaign will be aimed at experienced players, it'll be possible for players at all stages of their Mech Arena journey to get a taste of the action.

4️⃣ A new set of Modifiers will come into effect soon for all players. These include numerous Weapon Modifiers, and one that increases the chance to receive Legendary Implants.

I'm playing for years and up many implants and players to increase specifically disc launcher and arc torrent !!! It takes time to do so and I've choose, as many player, those weapons for theire high damages... Those two weapon aren't new, how can you decrease theire level after all thise time !!! It's a shame, you can't just blow up a strategic choice!!!

Can we expect nerfing Rail gun and EM rifles next? And after that will you nerf Ember gun also? Those seems to be the best weapons together with Arcs and Discs. 

So you're basically saying to buy new stuff because old ones will get nerfed and become useless and then after some time you will also nerf the new new stuff so people can then again buy new new new ones that will replace old (new) ones. Seems legit. Good for company, bad for community. 

When will you start nerfing mechs in the same way? Some are really good, why leave them so good that new ones are still bad compared to them? I say nerf all the best mechs so that people will have to buy new ones!

Wow, this is soooo fucking Bad. 

Increasing new OP Weapons and decreasing old  good weapons means not, that more people will invest in the new meta stuff. I means, that a lot of players are fucked off and frustrated. 

You don't like, that people are not buying your new OP stuff. Maybe you should think about why. It's the same strategie as WarRobots. 


So I will not invest any more money in the game.

This is really unfortunate and unacceptable.  Players are ripped off considering they bought those weapons.  I myself spent money to enjoy the game, but now I see that it was a mistake.  Very bad advertisement for you.  Why not pay in credits to make playing somewhat worthwhile.  There is a great possibility that I will stop playing and that I will no longer follow you and be supported.  here is my ID 69088074 so donate to me

The worst update ever arcs were not good when used with non-stun mechs that's why it was a good combination with surge and now you are nerfing it more. There was literally no need to nerf discs the decreased damage when hit away can be good but the splash should do back or rear damage discs won't be near as good as now after this update. You are literally supporting the new weapons because people are not using it cuz its trash but what about the old players like me who spent money. I have 12k SP still not happy about this.

About time for DiscLaunchers, been frustrating having someone kill u by firing above your head seemingly 20 feet away, this should help bring back some skill imo . 

Missile weapons are the same, i dont see you complaining about it...

Desde mi punto de vista pareciera que se penaliza a quien consiguio algo con esfuerzo, sin poner dinero en favor de quienes si lo hicieron. Si el juegos es gratis con opcion a compras se debe nivelar parejo o hacer solo de pago, gracias una vez mas por permitirme jugar gratis!!! Pero habra que ver como afecta esto para poder continuar sin que sea un sufrimiento y no un disfrute.

Overall good update.

AT's and DL's in their current state are nothing more than "I win buttons".  AT's with a mech that stuns is an uncouterable combo that when stunned equals a guaranteed kill with no counter play.  DL's allow people to just sit back and lob dics across the map while still applying full AoE damage with full bonus damage on the back and sides.

Those complaining about the AT and DL nerfs are people who too heavly relied on those weapons to win or didn't fully comprehend the risks of paying to win, that sometimes those weapons you paid for might get nerfed like in any other game.

No, this update is very bad as it makes no sense nerfing two very old weapons just becase P2W players like you didn't know how to counter them and then cried to developers to nerf them. You don't have to be very smart to counter either AT with Surge or any combo of mechs with DL's. 

With your logic they should also nerf Seeker because it's just a camper mech where you click ability and kill anyone in range from behind. Or bastion who has so much health you can't even kill him with full Arcs because his health is too high. Or Orion + sniper that just one shots you if you don't hide. I could go on. 

Reason for this nerf is so that P2W players have better chance to win with new weapons against players that just use old ones like AT or DL and still own spenders with all those new shiny weapons.

P2W players like me???? The entire game is designed to be P2W, you are meant to pay, what are you even talking about "P2W players like me" so basicly the vast majority of people that play this game.

Why would they nerf Seeker it's the newest mech, it's suppose to be super strong.

"Reason for this nerf is so that P2W players have better chance to win with new weapons against players that just use old ones like AT or DL and still own spenders with all those new shiny weapons."  Yes exactly whats your point.

Every game does this, have you never play a TCG before like yugioh or magic the gathering.  In TCG's there is this thing called an "errata" which is basicly a rewrite of a cards ability.  So they will print a super strong card let it run its course for a while then when it's time to print new cards they will put out an errata that nerfs the old ones so the new ones get bought more.

It's like you people have never play another game in your life besides this one.

I also like how you didn't explain these "counters" you spoke of, probably because there is no counter to being stunned and unable to act while you get melted by a maxed AT or get destroyed from across the map by someone just standing at spawn lobbing DL's randomly.

You better should limit stasis time on Surge and Bastion - they're too powerful. And make free removing implants from pilots - otherwise it's no point to collect them. And increase the number of installed implants to 6 so they can be used properly. And rework all maps the way that EVERY weapons can be used - like mortars or rockets!

Em Rifle Don't Need A Nerf But RailGun Definitely Needs A Nerf Because His Op Damage.

Well People Are Mad Because Disc Launcher And Arc Torrents Nerf But That's Necessarily Nerf Because Is Too Much OP And Annoying Especially With Sp Droppers It Well Be Annoying To Low Players. And Someone Camping Using Panther And Disc Launcher To Get Right Time And Surge With Arc Torrents Is Annoying Because His Emp... Also Chain Gun Needs More Love His Buff Is Nice, But Miniguns Didn't Need A Buff But Is Fine, Nade And Cryo Launcher Is Nice Now Both Getting Buff Especially Cryo Because Is My Favorite Weapon.

the fact that you understand and are okey with that practice is disturbing, there is no place for devil advocates.

It's not really about being ok with the practice of company A releases strong X item then company A nerfs it after people have dumped lots of money into it.

It's about that if you're goin to get into these certain kind of P2W games you have to understand this is how its done and if you don't like that then don't play these kinds of games.  

I fully understand that when i get into a game like this and put money into it, that at any time the stuff I bought could get nerfed (or cards that get banned in TCGs) and all that money just gets wasted i understand that and accept that risk.

I remember spending about $250 building a yugioh deck just for a month later when the new ban list came out and the core cards in that deck got banned and that deck became unplayable agaisnt the meta decks without those cards.  yeah i was upset but I also knew that's just how the cookie crumbles when playing a TCG like yugioh that sometimes the cards you spend 100's of dollars on can get banned or an errata gets put out that completely nerfs them.

If you're uncomfortable with that or don't accept those risks then these games aren't for you and you shouldn't be playing them.

É brincadeira né? Esperar o pessoal gastar dinheiro pra deixar tudo full pra depois nerfar... sem contar que é uma jogada descarada para que os players gastem mais dinheiro com as armas novas.

Infelizmente terei de abandonar mech arena, já virou bagunça isso aqui.
