as long as this game is MANAGED BY AI, AND YOUR PILOTED BOTS... your stubbornness in using the AI, as if they were humans, always armed to the max. the truly unplayable matching system... this game will always remain in the C series. IT WILL NEVER BE THE BEST GAME. seeing BOTS excel, losing games to BOTS opponents, too precise and powerful, makes this game truly TIRING AND FRUSTRATING, that's why you play 2 games, it closes, too stupid as a setup. too much greed, and too much obsession with using the AI, to control the games, all in all, weapons that do not require any human skill. MECHs that only with the secret shot kill you, no escape, point, throw and forget weapons... make sure there is no satisfaction, that said I'm sure that in the next update. NEW WEAPONS AND MECH, as well as the new gameplay system, will be a massacre of players... it's a game that is managed by people incapable of making it fun, for everyone, in the most correct way.

The game is not managed by the AI.

All due respect, Drew, but it is pointless to keep asserting your authority and credibility. You seem to be missing the point. And it's confusing because I don't get what's so hard to understand about "we've heard it all before".

You say now the waiting won't last too long. I don't get what you mean by that. IT ALREADY HAS!

You say it's up to us whether or not we believe you, but you keep talking as if you expect that somebody will. You say your statements are credible, but nobody believes you. You even said it yourself you expect us to believe you. You said your statements are creditable, or worthy of belief. But by what metric? You say your statements are backed up by the devs, but reality seems to be the opposite. No mention of matchmaking improvements in recent dev vlogs. And we actually have support staff te players there aren't currently any plans to change the matchmaking logic. Overall there doesn't appear to be anyone saying anything thar corobberates your statements.

You insist you're an official representative of the team. You say you know what's going on with development. But do they show you or do they tell you?

I don't think you fully understand the problem. You tell us and tell us and tell us they're working on changes but we never get to a point where you can say "improvements are implemented and we should be able to see them now" over the course of years. It's our decision whether or not we believe you. Well we've decided we do not. You do realize that for you to be credible your statements need to have a history of accuracy. They do not. For a statement to be credible you have to have people who are willing to believe it. NOBODY is willing to believe your statements.

I do not get why you can't tell people more about the matchmaking changes if they actually are in developmen, if they were actually coming to the game. Is the team not trying to spoil the surprise? I don't think you can spoil a surprise for people who aren't going to believe a thing you say. Or are they not letting any details out in case they don't happen to make those specific changes? I don't see how it's any different from constantly promising changes and seemingly devlivering none.

In fact it seems every time you have a surprise that you supposedly can't spoil it ends up being a major disappointment. Pilots you asked our approval months in advance and though we said no you added them anyways and initially you had to pay to change out the implants. And they made everything do too much damage with the combination of pilot buffs and implant buffs. You didn't tell us about mods until the day before release. And now everything is too beefy because it's all defensive mods. Oh and nobody asked for it. Just another thing you have to keep paying for to compete. It's the same feature creep that turned many people off war wallets (war robots). What kind of "surprise" might plarium want to avoid spoiling by giving no details about matchm changes that are supposedly comin? Well I can make an educated guess. You're going to op the game a year from now for a BIG SHOCK NOTHING HAS CHANGED STILL!

I hope you get it now though. You say it's up to us whether or not we believe you. But in reality we have been left NO CHOICE but to disbelieve you. Because we have NO VALID REASON TO BELIEVE YOU in the face of the fact that even though you're an official representative of the devs we have EVERY REASON TO DISBELIEVE YOU. So it's up to you know whether you accept that, and how you reconcile it.

Okay. I understand you. Sad to hear that such an impression was created. One way or another, I've been doing my best to keep you guys updated with all the updates and novelties. In the same way, all your feedback has always been passed to the devs.

And we appreciate it. Or at least I do. But we're tired of hearing there's going to be getting matchmaking changes with no further details and then seeing nothing. We don't have confidence that positive change is going to come.

Drew, all you do is update us on "novelties".. never anything about upcoming updates other than 3 years of "updates coming" with only "novelties" being every update. Mech Arena has turned into a novelty shop instead of a PvP game. Robot Pokémon, Collect Them All!!

I respect your position, but you have to see it on our side even facebook now has people complaining. And it is not fun when we get our butts handed to us by this situation, and all we want is fair game not this fake crap that has us facing sp droppers all the time. Show us mid gamers who spend on season passes and f2p more respect then your giving us

Seeing new mechs and new weapons is great but sp droppers are taking advantage of it and now there in the very beginning when people have 0 come on now

Totally agree with deepthroat.

FIX THE MATCH MAKING BULLS**T!!!

This is ridiculous now, you say you know what's going on....yes just collecting cash from us guys who love the game and spend cash ( like i do happily). Please fix the issue, it's been going on far too long, you ask us to wait but for how long, 1 year? Or longer. 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this game but I really wish it could be more

I have just checked.  I have a 3.1K power team had to deal with a team with 8.1 near 8.2K player.  How do you think the game went??  I mean the game is not new nor lacking players.  Yes, the team leader had a near 3K team.  Shouldn't the matchmaking auto-check the group in the team and use the highest power player to put them against?  Not the leader's power !!   Or the game should check the power set-up on each players wanted to be in team and they all have to be with in +/- 1k of the leader so they can be within a more reasonable fairer games??

This needs  power leveling so it can determean the match making. In other words if all but 1 player don't match the rest of the team in power level then the game wont start and once everyones power level is the same then the game matchs the team with the same or like chopchopchop said +/- 1k . I really wish I knew why did they make the XP cap at 326,000 but yet the game still rewards XP for in return of 6400XP you'll get fortune token or a crate that ends up giving more XP. These are the most pointless rewards I've ever seen in any game I've ever played in my life. It's greedy and cheap all at the same time. If the XP is caped at 326,000. then don't the dev's think that they should reward us better then the S**t  stuff they reward us with. They've made it eazy to climb on XP , to have new players come up fast and make them spend money. That is the reason they caped it and made it to eazy to do. Can't say that they didn't know what they where doing when developing the game,  They knew every reason why matchmaking would be way off balance . Because if anyone can reach to the highest XP then all of a sudden the inexperiene player will  click on the shop and get there hands on eclipse and revokers and think there dominating the game when there really not skilled players . They will never fix this problem with there match making. I'm sorry but I'm not. This game starting to suck more then before. Wish I never knew about this game. Like I said before. I've played games that are more rewarding then this game ever rewards.   Try a new game called Mecha Break and you'll see how fast and good you'll get rewarded by playing the game more then just a few rounds . And the Dev's are acctive with the people online. Not a community Manager doing the talking for them . But the Dev's themselves interact with the players. Asking for feedback and believe it or not players get a reply from the dev's themselves. But judge for yourselves I think i'm done with this game. going to hang it up and might check back to see if anything has improved while I'm gone. But I can still be reached on here for any DM's...................        

 Plus Might drop a few screenshots of the other game

They do not know or see it because they do not play the game, as much as they might say they do they really do not play it so how would they know. And our words do not matter and as much as they say we will fix this, its always been just words no action. I hope it does get fixed but atm i do not believe there words 0%

If they do play, they play on a completely full pink star everything account for free, Full power everything because they get all resources needed to max everything for free. They play a different game than us, they play a game where everything in the game is available to them for free along with ALL the resources needed to completely max Mechs, Weapon, Pilots, Implants, Pilot marks, Mods and whatever else they want at no cost or penalties. The MA crew don't care to understand us or our issues because they have mindless spenders that try to keep up with them by buying all the digital garbage novelties.

I know this will sound dumb but there is one thing i know plarium does good and that is raid shadow legends for the most part, and one thing i know they do well in is a free legendary. And its i think every 6 months or so i can not remember sorry, but other then that the state of mech arena does not look good atm for the mid gamers and f2p gamers

Yeah I've played RSL a lot.. like MA though, not as much anymore. Raid does do free legendary champions pretty often and other nice events with useful rewards unlike MA. The "Live Arena PvP" matchmaking in RSL is just as rigged as it is here in MA though.

Oh i agree 100%, and they cannot say they cannot find the sp drop hanger whales because you can see it 10000%. And yes the matchmaking system is horrible big time

Totally agree. The matchmaking feels really unfair right now. We need real changes, not just promises.

I cant play this game since yesterday. My poor 2k beginner hanger is constantly against 8k hangers. I'll have to quit the game if it doesn't get fixed it's unplayable

The new 3 hangar preset update is an improvement - thanks 👍 - But it doesn't fix unfair matchmaking. 

Thank you for the option to switch pilots and implants without affecting the other hangar(s). Also for offering additional hangar presets without spending A-Coins. (at least I got the third one for free 😉).

The long-requested option to select a different hangar is not implemented as desired. People were complaining that they had to leave multiplayer games from the waiting lobby because of a 'wrong' hangar /  squad power equipped compared to the other players in the team. So they wanted to switch hangars without leaving the lobby before the game starts and before matchmaking.

Now, if matchmaking is based on the strongest hangar preselected by a checkbox, it does not make much sense to pick a different than your maximum strength hangar because the opponent team has already been selected by whatever matchmaking algorithm.

You can only decide between similar strength hangars optimized for certain maps (e.g. only use mortars or helix racks for large, open terrain maps).

They should give us back what we spent on the presets, because they gave it for free for everyone.
