Matchmaking is determined on how much you've spent/currently spend vs how much you didn't/don't spend. It's a game of spend money to go seal clubbing or don't spend money and be the seal. If you aren't spending thousands of dollars a month, you are irrelevant.

I agree on the inventory power suggestion. Plarium should employ a mix of these three criteria for matchmaking:

Hanger power,

Inventory power,

XP. 

Hanger power hasn't been working very well now has it? So if we just add in a few factors like inventory power, so players can't sp drop that well and plus xp shows their progress so plarium can put them against similar XP players. Also, remove gear hub and set unlocking of mechs to be XP based. So you have to play if you want the op mechs and not just spend your way to the end.

But of course, this is pointless, we will get the same AI responses.

It's definitely how Matchmaking doesn't work, as the system simply is not programmed to determine whether a player has spent or not.

No AI responses here.

Hello! At this point, the Matchmaking takes into account multiple key points, including:

- your Squad Power;

- current online in your region;

- your skills;

- other details.

Something interesting and new in this regard is coming in the near future, stay tuned 👍

And look, we get more of the same a.i. responses... the never approaching "near future" and "stay tuned" for more premium purchasable content response.. Drew might as well be a.i. or maybe Drew should just make it's own thread and every other day it can come posts it's usual generic uninformative repetitive response of "near future coming" and "stay tuned"... it'd be the #1 post on here with only Drew's every other days response of the same garbage. What's the point of having a community manager, to ban people that are sick and tired of being lied to, gaslit and used by this shady company?

Skills? Wdym skills? If your system cannot determine how much a player has spent, how do you track skill? 

By what metrics does the game measure "your skills"?

And just what are these "other details"? It's whether or not you've spent and how much in a given time frame, isn't it

The system is programmed like this. It fools a new player into thinking he's good, with the help of your AI that manipulates the bots, 8 per game, out of 10 players. The new player sees himself as good and will be pushed to improve, to become stronger, that's where your deception kicks in. The new player will spend crazy amounts of money to become better, but he doesn't know that the games are being manipulated on purpose. When he reaches a certain level, BAMM, he too will be thrown into the dustbin for the newcomers. I'VE SEEN TOO MANY GAMES NOW, NEW ENTRANTS WIN WITH THE HELP OF THE BOTS. 3 years... yes, we all know the bots, you can't go wrong. And you see them in the game, they are MORE deadly when you find new opponents. YOUR GAMES ARE LIKE A SLOT MACHINE, rigged TO DECEIVE THE PLAYERS. Analyze your games dear friends, check the data and you will see that I am not wrong and C.D. is lying to you... they are deceiving you... FALSE AND DECEPTIVE GAME.

Yes that's the unfortunate truth you'd think he might as well be an AI with how generic the responses can be. He can only say what they tell him to do. And I imagine the job might be hard to just leave. People have families to feed. So when plarium say's "jump" the response would be "how high?" And that means unfortunately that Drew can be telling lies against his own will. But we know he's telling lies. We have support staff telling people even they don't have any plans to update the matchmaking logic. They just have Drew telling us "something is coming". There's also no mention of matchmaking changes anywhere else in the community. There's no recent feedback forum for matchmaking.

So Drew may not be able to tell you about upcoming matchmaking changes but because I'm not an official representative I can. They're not happening. If they are? They're not going to be major. If they're major? They will just rig it again. I already said this in my thread. The things Drew says are lies tailor made for this forum specifically. It's what the devs think we want to hear. That's the point of our community managers. As well as language policing when tempers rise in the community. This goes back to the very beginning, before we even had Drew.

Yes that's not how it works that's why those p2w dreadturds always at top of grandmaster can seal-club unhampered by the "skill based" logic in the supposed "skill based" matchmaking while others do well on a level playing field using balanced hangars for a few matches and get punished for it with a bunch of unwinnable matches.

Read this load og crap. abd this is what C.D. says is not happening with the gasliting people. 

This is his words

No one's defending the system, the matchmaking is not perfect, devs clearly have to do so much work on it, fix bugs etc list goes on

The thing is people mostly drop for resources, okay, it shouldn't be the case cause either you buy them and slowly progress in the game or just don't play at all

Because when we defend dropping we also defend the hell the new players, mid range players and basically everyone till 10k sp face because of droppers

That's where it gets ugly, and people start calling them loser, coward etc, even though there are skilled players who drop too

You can tell what he does to get his resources and how.But the Dev's are going to look away and continue with working on the next update. Now you see what the problem is. It's sp droppers like that . Thats what plarium protects. MFers like that so that they make people spend spend spend

Whatever comes, please don't make it based on inventory power :-). I like to still play with my common/uncommon mechs and weapons now and then, partly to fulfill the mech achievements. That would become hard if inventory power is a factor in matchmaking.

Honestly, assuming squad power is the main criterion, the simplest thing you can do short term is fix the power levels of epic and legendary items. That will automatically make squad powers of lower rank legendary squads different enough from common-rare squads that they will get matched up with similarly ranked rare and below squads less. This should solve the problem to some degree, pending the ultimate new solution :-).

SO lying is your specialty.

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THE NEW FEATURES WILL BE RELEASED IN SUMMER 2025.

WE'RE WELL INTO SUMMER NOW...we can't see any weapons or mechs, and the much-maligned match-gaming balance isn't even visible.

SO IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID THAT IT WILL BE RELEASED IN SUMMER...NEAR FUTURE?? THE USUAL STORY??

What do you mean by near future when you've already officially said summer, or maybe you live on another planet and it's still the middle of winter...what do you mean by NEAR FUTURE? On your planet, this corresponds to: 1 Earth month, 1 year on your planet? Explain to us better, because official sources have already stated the release of the changes. And you tell us the NEAR FUTURE...

BECAUSE we'd like to know, we're tired... OF THIS SITUATION, oh, I forgot, THE SALES, they're not over yet, first you have to sell us everything in the store, because the next new arrivals, yes, you're right, we'd have to redo the wardrobe, how careless of me, I forgot... the sale of old and useless stuff has yet to end. prepare your open wallet again

That's not how matchmatching works no matter what the devs tell you to say 🤦 I, and many others, can prove you wrong with hundreds of screenshots showing this...

And, you're still lying about the matchmaking getting fixed any time soon! It's been more than three years with you community managers spouting the same rhetoric every time it's brought up....

What's coming? Something like from the tests last year? If so I think they would have just said so, no? I dunno quite how I feel about it yet we'd need to play with it for a while but I feel it would at least be better than what we have now. But nope they've said nothing in that regard. Also feel like it would have come much sooner.

No I don't think change is coming. Matchmaking isn't broken it's rigged. It's working as intended. We can all go on their channel and watch the dreadnought spotlight video with them seal-clubbing on their own players right now. We see their tactics with the specialization spree a-coins FOMO trap. All they care about is money so why would they spend any to un-rig the system and make less?
