So it took this long not because you are trying to sell pod gun, which for some reason you still won't concede is suspiciously similar to disk launcher and again have glossed over it as an important point, but because of a number of weapons released since which you haven't had luck selling? Have I got that right? Because we players said all that time ago that's what would happen. The meta wasn't being broken by much because it was already freaking broken.

If I'm wrong, explain what you mean and what it has to do with disc launchers not being changed for two and a half years because it doesn't make sense to me. I see no good reason it should take that long. I understand you're trying to minimize the practice of NERFing items, but the time to change disc launchers was 2 years ago. A weapon being problematic for 6 months is long enough. Not after 2 and a half years and NOT WITH THE RELEASE OF A WEAPON THAT DOES THE SAME THING BUT THIS ONE IS BETTER NOW BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES BEING MADE TO THE OLD WEAPON!

And if you're trying to minimize the practic, WHY INCLUDE ARC TORRENT WHICH HASN'T BEEN CONSIDERED PROBLEMATIC SINCE RELEASE OF EM RIFLE?

The discussion gets in circles. I've already answered the main questions in my previous response. We are trying to avoid rebalancing practices, but it's impossible to exclude this. Our team is working on the balance and we will inform if something comes in the future

And I'm telling you that you can minimize this rebalance practice while simultaneously rebalancing items in a timely manner and by avoiding doing so with what isn't considered a problematic item. And it's not just me. EVERYONE IS SAYING THIS! But you seem incapable of acknowledging the problem.

Someone on reddit was convinced you weren't going to change because it took so long for you to make the changes and they bought it when they wouldn't have had they thought you would. Now they regret doing so. I imagine it's the same for others. So why are you so adamant that being so untimely with the balance changes was the right decision?

I will pass on this feedback to the devs

The changes to disc launchers and arc torrents are real crap, I hope whoever thought up these terrible changes loses their job and ends up in poverty. And I hope that the discs and torrents will return to what they were before.  

Yeah... I don't know why the bother with the (very) thinly veiled blather "Rebalancing" ... we all know what this really means is "hey, we're making your existing weapons less effective so you will have spend coin to buy / continually upgrade new weapons... you know... so we can make more $$$."....

Don't get me wrong... everybody's gotta eat, pay bills, etc.... but.... I am wondering if they are cranking up the old revenue machine becuase folks are getting tired of the "Pay to win" attitude and are walking away... 

It's too bad they don't go the other direction and make it "Play [grind it out] to Win" so folks can earn advancement instead of buying it... then (and only then) will I start recommending this game to others (which of course would bring more new players to the game thus increasing their revenue stream even more than the current Pay to Win model this game has, sadly, become. :-(

leave them alone, they have no imagination, they don't know what they're doing, they're only interested in your money, and if you leave, ehheeh there are thousands of other young players who, knowing nothing, will spend for a few months. Mech Arena works like this, it's just a way to make money. No one is interested in your entertainment... stop spending... make the hangar low, and you will always win.

the fact is that in these 2 and a half years, the game hasn't taken off as you thought, do you think players are 100% stupid?.

your tactics are so obvious that players denigrate the game, and quit. the fact that you continually make weapons and mechs, proves it, trying to make up for it and changing strategy, but the new strategy will be short-lived...

During the mentioned two and a half years, we released multiple Mechs, Weapons, and stuff. Step by step, the balance has been changing (not being broken, though). Now, the time has come to optimize Arc Torrents and Disc Launchers. It's nothing new or special, but we are trying to minimize such a practice 

And during the mentioned two and half years, players have spent significant currency upgrading these weapons as well as mechs, pilots and implants to go with them.  Where is the compensation to these affected players Plarium?

*And it's a good thing*
