I seriously doubt plarium sees matchmaking as a serious "problem", let alone actually wanting to "fix" it.

This has been an "issue" since game launch...do you seriously think it couldn't have been "fixed" by now?? The last time matchmaking was "fair" was in beta testing!!

From plarium point of view, there's really nothing to fix. Their biggest spenders pay a LOT of money to be able to kill you easily. 

Do you honestly think plarium is going to alienate their biggest customers by solely pitting them against each other???? No. They aren't gonna do that.


The system is way too complicated to get fixed or fully reworked in a blink. Although it may not be that visible, many changes have occurred since its launch. I can confirm that at this moment the most major work on the updates for the Matchmaking system is in progress (you may notice it by the multiple Tournament tests that we are running), so stay tuned - more is yet to come!

I think the best answer would be B, not A. Although A seems too be the best answer because of how fast they are coming out with mechs and weapons, it should not take 6 months to solve matchmaking, tops is 4 months. Therefore, I say B. I just wish some mechs or weapons were free. Free meaning 0$, and 0 time spent grinding.

How do you know who's a bot?

You won't see them in your recommended friends list afterwards. They also have weird builds, and they have funny names like Bob saves, Badger sandwich, 99cheeses, Blooooood, etc. and they also won't belong to a clan. We play against bots slot.

This is really "THE", Elon Musk? That's awesome that you play MA. But you're an awesome man, so I'm not that surprised.

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.

We kindly ask you to be honest so many times, and still you lie, or tell some % of the truth, its your  job, by conviction or by convenience, maybe both, at least dont pretend to be our friendly forum mod, you clearly are far away from that or plarium . So, with what moral stature are you able to ask for kindness? Oh i know... im gonna have another week of "silence" for telling you this, i dont care i wasnt raise to lie or tolerate lies, scams, and greedy people who pretend to be friendly and "POLITE" just to cover their dirty bussiness. Saludos.

As I stated multiple times, I don't spread any lies, as I don't aim to misinform you.

Updated results ... 

   Ten people willing to - A) Give up 6 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done.  (11 if you include me)

   Two 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). 

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

   and zero for D

I still find it interesting that there is quite as much support for A as there is and not more than 1 person who isn't willing to give anything up to fix match making (although as stated before, C indicates there is a problem problem with matchmaking, the voter just doesnt' want to give up anything to fix it).

I'm happy to see votes still coming in.  I know there arn't many of us who post on the forums over all, but if everyone who does check them out votes on this, maybe 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.

I can even give up the whole game, too much rubbish, and it's not fun, they don't do anything and only think about banning honest people, there's nothing correct here, it's useless... and it's just a waste of time.... THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK WE WILL TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION STAY TUNED...... BUT FUCK YOU

Nice topic. Thanks for trying to help influence the system :-). 

I vote A but with some caveats.

  • A difference of 1000 squad power is fine at higher levels, but not at lower levels. E.g., a balanced 1000 power squad will likely get decimated by a balanced 2000 squad. So the difference either needs to be adjusted for the squad power level, or it needs to be a percentage of the squad power.
  • I don't think Plarium wants to limit matches within a power range. They actually want to do the opposite. Before these tests began last year, the main problem was SP dropping. Facing squads with vastly different powers was rare, at least in my experience. Each test has introduced that problem, to varying degrees, including the current ongoing one. That can't be a mistake because it is the easiest thing to check. It is deliberate, no doubt.

I say A because my little free-to-play buddies and I would LOVE a new feature because all those new mechs and weapons are inaccessible to us because of money issues.

The game is very good but there are a lot of meta weapons and mechs that are inaccessible to F2P players. for example: hellfire, revokers, lacewing, vortex, etc..

A.

I would also give up more than 30 seconds of waiting time for matchmaking to actually have time to work.

I'd say D. It's not a problem. Sometimes you get a weak team sometimes you don't. I personally like being put against harder people occasionally. It makes it fun. But they don't do it often enough to be constantly losing and frustrated.
