Taking a break until "testing" is complete.

I think it's time for me to take a break from this game until you concluded your "testing." What is the point of testing my 5-6k SP hanger against 10-20k SP (yes, 20k) SP opponents that are real players mixed in with high SP bots that have 100% accuracy and micro second flicking responses?  Seeing us play against 2-3k higher SP players is not enough? Do you want to see how much you can demoralize the average players? Are you trying to go the route like some other games (i.e. Apex Legends) of catering to the more competitive playerbase and whales?

Regardless, you have gotten the demoralizing part out of me. The enjoyment level went way down. I use to have good nerves logging into the game. Now, it's the reverse. When I am about to log into Mech Arena, I cringe and most of the time log into some other game. Marvel Rivals is seeing more of me due to this "testing."

I guess not whale spending but only spending here and there is not enough for Plarium to be concerned with us average folks. It's ok though, some great games are coming out in 2025! Time to see what my next game home will be. Heck, I might even check out War Robots: Frontiers when it releases. Anyways, good luck with these "testing," Plarium!

Well said! You aren't alone and hopefully others frustrations will be enough for them to move away from this game. We are the test! Everything is designed to test how much we will spend. They expect you to buy whatever the whales and op bots have equipped, they think that's the salutation for everyone to fix matchmaking for themselves because obviously they aren't doing anything at all to fix it when we've had multiple "tests" that only give an even more unbalanced matchmaking. They can't fix the matchmaking, we have to do that ourselves by purchasing, leveling and ranking up all the stuff they expect us to buy. We Are The Test!

the only purpose of the tests is to see if their psazzatura sales increase. if you with a 5-6k hangar play against double the power. the anger will make you run to the junk shop... that's the only result they test, how many people will spend on this. they don't care about you and the game system, it's junk and will remain for life.

Maybe. For me, I just scoff at the "testing" on a live service that people have spent time, money, and sweat in. This is not beta. This is not PTR. This is not early access. And we, especially, did not sign up to be testers. People didn't download and possibly pay for in game items to test your product.

I would laugh so hard if someone took offense enough and turn this into a legal matter. Heck, it might even start a trend in making these companies rethink their actionables. It happened when live service gaming on the PC became very popular (i.e Blizzard, EA, etc.) and I'm sure one of these companies will trigger it again. It's like watching mobile gaming companies as little babies pushing boundaries until the parents spank them. 😂

This just sucks.  Got punished for what was it, 2 or 3 weeks?  with the "test" and now I'm apparently getting punished again by the "secret A/B test" that was only mentioned in passing in threads that were complaining about the prior testing round.  

Can't get any ACoins because of the competition.  I mean, who could when your opponents have you outdone by 5-7000 squad power every round.  5 matches, 357 points total.  Wow.  Just wow.

I've supported this game for so long and now, for nearly a month, they've rigged the game against me.  I don't know what else to call it other than rigging the game when I'm constantly put up against players who have me out geared.  My wife, who couldn't play a video game to save her life, could beat me with the gear these people have (and she doesn't even know what Mech Arena is!!!).

Seriously, this is nothing but punishment.  I've devoted 2 years to this game.  I've posted comments in good faith to help point out problems, praise accomplishments, and support the game.  All I'm getting after all this time is "we are calibrating and testing".  Really?  

I can't even call this a joke anymore.  Its just a dumpster.

Amen brother, i will not spend any money on this game for the pure arbitrariness the devs are exerting over us players without prior warning.


"So you want to play tourney? Get fked in the last 2 tiers with bots outscaling you and players 2x or 3x your hangar power, also heres our newest offer.."

So you want us to spend money after you slapped us in the face? how bold of you...

Unfortunately, many games have bots, both to increase interest and to retain players, but their complexity directly determines whether players will stay in the game or whether they are too strong and destroy everything. We won't go far, for example, the same PUBG, while there were a lot of people in the game at the beginning, there were no bots or they were practically not encountered, then when the online dropped and the hype passed, bots became very noticeable and many people lost their desire to play, while the other part simply played with friends and enjoyed waiting for an influx of new players or the return of old ones. But the main pain in all mobile games is that they are primarily aimed at your wallet, and only then at your emotions and enjoyment of the game. Little by little, this  trend is reaching the computer segment, but it is not very noticeable.

Hello! Thanks for your comments, guys. We will take everything into account and be sure that the devs see how you take the tests. I can confirm that currently, no Matchmaking tests are being run, and the current FFA Tournament features the usual pairing system.

Thanks for the response, CrystalDrew! In my opinion as a side note, most if not all, the posts here were not directed at you or those that are just mediating. So, please don't get upset with us and keep the communication between the ones who controls the changes and the player community open and as transparent as much as possible.
