AS ALWAYS, ALTHOUGH MY TEAM MADE THE 3 BEST PLACES I placed first, with the highest number of kills. The opposing team, composed of 2 low-level humans, with few games under their belt, fresh players, still won the game. This proves that the theory of the A.I. THAT MANIPULATES THE GAMES IS TRUE. As long as this happens, the developer proves to be of mediocre intelligence, only capable of copying other games, and bringing a large pile of garbage into this game. It will remain a mediocre game, as long as it is like this..

Hello! Thanks a lot for your feedback; we will take it into account. However, I'd like to share some light on some of the points:

"If mechs and weapons can do something that we can't defend against at all, that is a cheat" - there is no perfect Mech or Weapon. You are free to use the Mods to avoid one-shots; you can use Pilots and Implants to improve some of your stats, so there are plenty of ways to get your performance better.

"The whole point system needs to be fixed" - we are constantly experimenting with the prices, Offers, Events, Objectives, and Awards, so keep an eye out! Thus, the game remains diverse, challenging, and exciting.

The bots question - our community is located all around the globe, so sometimes there can be a lack of online players with approximately the same Squad Power due to different time zones - that's why we use bots. Our team is working on improvements for the AI to make them more advanced in imitating a real player.

The huge updates are coming, so stay tuned - I hope that you will be excited!

You say I can use mods, but I still don't have any 6 star mechs. My highest is 4 stars. I need 1800 a-coins to start upgrading just to 5 star. So with 5 mechs, I need 9k a-coins. I can't even imagine how many I will need to get to 6 star mechs. After saving for a month while upgrading some weapons, I currently have 1300 a-coins. Yet I just looked at one of my last battle logs, and 2 of the MVPs listed on there have mods on 4 star mechs. I looked at a few more battle MVPs, and they have mods as low as 3 star. Sowhat is the deal with that?

And now, pilots. I have all my pilots at 4 star with 1 at 5 star. They are all rare as I can't afford epic or above because of the a-coin situation mentioned in the top comment. And the pilot marks take a long time to get as well. 

And I was doing well with implants at first. I was buying them off the market and scraping them to get the implant parts, but now I have a low amount of credits to use to keep upgrading my weapons and mechs and stuff. 

So going against bots where their weapons are listed at over 100k (I saw one yesterday that showed over 300k), I just get mowed thru. At first I was able to get high on some leaderboards and tourneys, but right now I can barely win. Out of the last 20 battles listed on my battle log, I won 6, so a 30% win rate. When I first started, was getting like 75% to 80% wins, and now it has dropped so my lifetime wins are down to 59% and dropping fast. I could see if it was closer to 50% at least, but It's not. And as all the upgrades are getting more expensive to me now, it could be months or years before I can catch up. Now I know I'm far from the best here. I'm probably mediocre at the game, so that will make it even longer. You are making bots way too strong.

And you say there is no perfect mech. I have watched videos where Nomad and Killshot with no weapons in FFA matches kill 30+ poeple without ever getting close to dieing. And I have seen it in FFA matches I have been in as well (but they had weapons too). I have been lucky at get up to 10 a few times, but it's rare. So now I can't get high in tourneys to get the coins I need to get better.

Believe me, I want to be excited for this game. But if this goes on for much longer, I will just forget about the game.

You only need 3 star mechs to use mods.

Well, whenever I click on a mech then the mod area, all the mods are locked and it says "To instal mods, you need to upgrade this mech's rank to 6 stars." And this is on a 4 star level 6/7 Guardian. Unless bought mechs or bot mechs only need 3 stars.

And after losing so bad at most games today, I think I need some answers now. I am pretty competitive when it comes to games, and this is frustrating me beyond beliefe. You have no idea how I have had to try and watch my language while writing these. By always saying something is coming soon has lost sight of being a gamer. Every gamer knows how frustrating it is when they are not heard, and you make excuses instead of listening to us. I don't know how long this game has been around, and how long the same people have been making it, but you have lost sight of the gamer. I'm sure I'm going to get a response like"Big things are coming soon" or "Have some patience" or "We are working on it". And these are all the terms that gamers hate because you say somthing without saying anything at all. It's time to show that you are listening, if you truely are that is. I might have to go back to Blizzard games and stay away from these small garage start ups.

So, a little earlier I was killed and it showed the damage from that mech at over 1 million. That is almost 20 times my most powerful weapon. And that is enough to kill my best mech 14 times. Now, EXPLAIN THAT!!! And that was probably a bot as well.

We will take your feedback into account. Thanks for sharing the points that concern you. Our team will try to come up with something in the future, so stay tuned.

One thing I'd like to point out regarding Killshot and Nomad being extremely powerful with no Weapons in FFA is that such performance was caused by using abuse of the Matchmaking system. In fact, having the fair terms of a battle, where all players have approximately the same Squad Power, all the Weapons, Mechs, Implants, Mods, and stuff are in the same Grade, Rank, and stuff, there is indeed no almost overpowered Mechs and Weapons.

The developers are aware of some balance issues that are present in the game, and they are already working on improvements. The Matchmaking abuse us expected to be prevented as well. We are working, but it will definitely take some time to get everything fixed.

How much time?

Can I get an answer on the 3 star mechs with mods? How does that happen? 

And I got rid of 2 mechs in my squad to bring down my squad power, but it didn't help me get into matches with people my own level. Mine is pretty low, 2100 with 5 mechs, and it was around 1600 with just three. Am I too low to try and use that SP dropping to just get into the matches I'm suppose to be in?

Here's the explanation: https://forum.plarium.com/en/mech-arena/854_news/43081_new-mods-feature-update/ .

Their stated reason was to make it more balanced and simple for new players, but if new players are going to face old players that can put mods on, then that purpose is not met at all.. it actually makes it worse. This obvious logic was brought up but it did not matter, and they went ahead with their original plan. 

My guess is this is by design. It is designed to frustrate new players and make them spend money to bridge the gap.

So new users like me that won't pay, they don't want us here, got it.

I've been posting and changing my reviews in Google Play. Each time I get a response that tells me to join discord and get tips. There is no amount of tips that will help when I come up against others or bot that have weapons that can kill me multiple times over without ever reloading. So I'll be continuing to blast the truth to any potential new users.

As I've said before, I want to like this game. I'm giving it every chance to change, but a person can only go so far. And responses like" somthing big is coming soon" is just a big blow off to us.

I went to report them with the BBB, but found out they are in Israel. So they can get away with this all they want. Just wish they would come and say that we don't matter to them.

I've never in my 47 years experienced such a rigged cheating game as this one. The chances of whatever these "huge updates" that are supposedly coming being anything good for us players are as good as the chances they offer us in the game 0.01%.
