After watching Ruffles recent dev interview video, A & B will never happen. Around 15 to 20 questions to a Mech Arena developer and every question asked led him to talk about the team only being focused on making new mechs and weapons. He didn't answer a single question without it leading to that so making money is more important than making a fair balanced game. Even the weapon balance question led him to talk about creating new purchasable mechs and weapons. They can't fix anything because the game wasn't designed for their greediness. They replaced their love for the game with greed and all we will ever get from here on out is new items to purchase.

Definitely A.


Here's the problem:  Plarium CLAIMS that it's a tricky process.  They CLAIM that it's difficult to balance these things out.


Pardon my language....but BULLS**T!  They just don't want to.  By keeping it unbalanced, it tempts players to open their wallets to purchase the next upgrade...only to find the problem at a higher scale.  They have no vested interest in doing any actual balancing.


Because it would be ridiculously easy.  Simply add to the current values for each weapon and mech 500 points for each tier above 2.  That would easily widen the gaps so that there'd be practically  no chance of being forced to fight against golds when all you have are blues.  A tier 9 mech/weapon combo would add +3500 each, for a total of 7000 points.  And if there's two weapons, the total goes to 10500 points.  For one mech with two weapons.  Even if all their other mechs are non-upgraded greys and greens, there's no way anyone using Blues would have to fight such a hangar.


Look at that, Plarium!  I solved the problem you don't want solved!  In under 5 minutes!


Is it perfect?  No.  Is it better than the current system?  By about two orders of magnitude.

It's been a bit, so I'll update the results results ... 

   29 people willing to - A) Give up 6 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done.  (30 if you include me)

   3 for - B) Give up only 3 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done (the thought being that it would actually take 6 months, but you aren't willing to wait the entire time and will live with whatever they can do in 3 months). 

   2 person for - C) None of the above (You need new mechs and weapons!) 

   1 person for  - D) None of the above (there is no problem!)

This is really something.  83% of the people (30 of us) are willing to give up 6 months of new mechs and weapons to get matchmaking fixed.  That's a really huge percentage!!  And to put a little more of a point on it, only 8% of people don't see a dire need for matchmaking fixes.  

I thank you all for your answers and as long as they keep coming in, I'll update this every couple of weeks.  As always, the hope is that we can continue to send the message as to what we see is the problem and just how important it is to us to fix.

Thank you for your time and support.

People don't understand that the matchmaking is actually pretty fair. Even if you matched a squad within a thousand points there may be a guy that has one really powerful mech in his hanger and 4 not so great ones. The other squad members may have all equally upgraded mechs.....they will still complain, thinking that it is missmatched. Say for example you do a 2vs2 match and you have 5 pretty good mechs. The other guy has 2 mechs in his hanger. One powerful, one weak. He uses the powerful one to wipe out all ten of the other teams mechs.... Even though the squad powers were matched equally, it will still seem unfair and people will complain. I say do not change the options and strengths just let them learn to upgrade and choose more wisely.

Also in my opinion I like it when a big guy comes out to play. It makes the game more exciting. The last match we won the first round because one guy hid his strong mech up his sleeve. Then he brought out the big guns and I couldn't understand why we lost. I thought shit we can do this then I went toe to toe and was a fun match. At the end I saw how we lost that one mech had 18 kills. I don't get upset cause it was a fair fight. I think it's all part of the game and makes you better. I don't think you should waist time on making everything even then it would be like playing tic tac toe! Draw! Boring!

A or B! Nobody can possibly keep up with the new weapons and mech's you guys come out with unless your a millionaire. It would be awesome if you could implement some more a-coin's too. I have had for a couple months and still have a hanger full of mech's and weapons that need strictly a-coin's for the next upgrade. Seriously every mech and 80% of my weapons have been stagnant for some time now. Just a thought.

My answer to the poll is A! There's enough mechs and weapons for players right now.And you know it's all about the money right out of the gate because as soon as thegame opens, "BAM", the flash deals hit ya in the face! Which in my opinion,is quite frickin annoying, I want to play the game, not wait for BS to stop flashing across my screen.

I'd kindly ask you to keep a friendly tone of voice here. I understand your emotions, and I'm trying to help as much as I can. However, if you keep commenting aggressively, I will need to mute your account.

Its the only thing you are good at it, Ban, mute, silence, oh and of course talk without say anything at all that really matters. Im not being polite? Not friendly? well, you dont really care anyways, you dont need people thinking on this game. Please tell me that you have a new house, car, vacations, and a big bank account thanks to this work, if not my friend.... we all know just what you are. Thanks for nothing as usual.
