Looks like they are pushing the grind to try and retain players and try to push payers into buying the pass+skips lol 

Idk though, I don't playing MA anymore.. after playing MW a mech game that this mech game wants and wishes to be, I see why the player base here is dwindling and the "devs" push desperation because they aren't pushing as much premium digital novelty shop items as they'd like to be. They chose greed for our money, now it's desperation for our time... I wonder what they'll do with pitty next,  oh yeah blame the community. 

Lucky for us, we are used to this grind of "5 months for 1 mech" type stuff, so we are not spending.

Hello! We hear your frustration with the new reward format - thanks for calling it out.

More varied objectives and diverse Rewards in the Battle Pass were introduced based on community requests. That said, we understand that not everyone enjoys this style, especially if it feels less rewarding just from playing matches.

We’re actively reviewing feedback from Season 66 and appreciate you sharing yours!

I stopped buying it exactly the day of the first series of NERF, and I'm talking about when they started with EM-RIFLE, SINCE THEN I STOPPED BOTH THIS GAME AND ANOTHER GAME, always Plarium, (thank you for opening my eyes auahahaha). As you can see, they think they're smart but they cut their own tails... this game will die... even if it would be a great game, it will die because of the greed of its creators...

so in 3 years only on mech arena I saved 360 EURO only on mech arena without considering the other game, hehehehe

CrystalDrew, the community voted for the change? When was this? I must have blacked out and missed that survey. 

Get 2 skins? Oh joy, two skins I have no use for, but have to use resources better spent elsewhere to get them.

Log in 10 days? All that does is delay getting a reward that I was previously earning in a week.

Win 50 battles? There's another real winner. 

Congrats on ruining the one reason to spend money on the game where the return on investment outweighs the cost.

Can plarium ever just admit they messed up? Who said they wanted to be made to play 2/3 more battles just to get the same rewards?

Come on. You HAD to have known players wouldn't like this. We've made the very same complaints when you've made some events grindier. No way you thought this would be any different

The grinding is bad enough, but the non-playing investment is also ridiculous, especially given the rewards. You need to spend 250,000 credits and somehow obtain 2 skins (which means either spending more credits or obtaining enough fortune keys to get those skins from the fortune vaults).

And what do you get for it? Over 3 weeks, in the silver pass, you get the equivalent of rewards that you could get far more easily from daily objectives over just a few days.

And cherry on top? Since noone knows what next 3 phases of the battle pass will look like, it is actually unwise to spend the credits or spin the fortune vaults right now. If any of the other phases have similar requirements you'll need to waste resources all over again. So it's better to wait until the last phase which means you can't even collect your rewards in the short term (which include the XP bonus modifier).

This one really boggles the mind!

BTW I've seen some people say that the hard objectives make sense because of the "free" legendary weapons. But, personally, I'm not even sure I want to pick those weapons from the battle pass. The chances are reasonably high that the 6-energy variants will eventually be available in the gear hub for credits. At 5 stars.

To get your free reaver 6 or gemini 6 to 5 stars would then require you to spend acoins, completely negating any value you get from the battle pass.

Yes they're great options for new players that have low squad powers, but only in the short term (until they would prefer them at 5 stars later in the game). They're also great options for tankers :-).

Right. As long as I've been playing MA, a level 6 weapon amounts to a straw and spitballs.

For the most part yeah, but they're also sometimes useful at mid SP when you can pair them with a 10 or 12 variant for 16 or 18 capacity mechs. 

The issue in this case is that even these 6's are only at 3 stars. Even for the purpose of pairing with higher variants you'll need to spend acoins to upgrade them for them to be effective. So the "value" ascribed to this battle pass can actually work against you if you take advantage of that value (assuming the 6's come for credits in the gear hub or a future ECR).

Thanks for your feedback folks, we will take it into account!
