Matches that shouldn't happen (RANT)

I decided to play mech arena for a bit at least until I couldn't stand it anymore again and I'm probably already at that point not even in D1. So this is my 2 strongest builds

i


i

And this is my hangar

i

This is the match

i

This is my teammate

i

And this is the opposite team

i


i

And this is what another one of cheating chamma's hangars looks like

i

The only thing upgraded beyond base level in my inventory is a 6 star lancer, which isn't even used at the moment so I don't get how it could possibly factor in.

i


I'm going to rant a bit here and it's going to be profane and as a warning it might be offensive. But I'm fed up and I'm just trying to vent my frustration. And I really don't know what else to say. I know you always say you're open to discussion about MA as long as it follows the rules to keep it productive but I historically have not observed that and on the contrary the rules have been used to silence discussion. So again this rant is going to be raw emotion. It may or may not be a rational way of thinking or acting. Some stuff while not targeted at any specific person could be construed as personally offensive. And some stuff could be outright wrong. If I am, just say so. I would rather not offend. But that's how I feel when I play MA, offended. And this is really the only way I can communicate how offended I am. I have tried to curate my feedback so I had a message that would be relayed to the team. But this is the message I want to give them. If anyone is offended by it, sorry, but we could use some much more transparent communication on this if you want to actually have a productive discussion with the community. Before I start if anyone on the team is sensitive they should not read this or have it read to them without it being sanitized of foul language and insults.

Anyways I get the jist of how this match happened. Another instance of SP cheaters gaming the system. What I don't get is there's a very simple fix to this and it's that YOU CAN F*CKING PUT GUARD RAILS UP TO STOP THESE MATCHES FROM HAPPENING BUT YOU F*CKING DON'T! I have provided multiple suggestions on how you could possibly mitigate this problem and you have implemented F*CKING NONE!

There's no guard rail for difference in power rating between your highest power mechs. There's no guard rail stopping these guys getting matched with people with much lower rated mechs EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE MUCH HIGHER RANK STUFF IN THEIR INVENTORY! EVEN IF IT'S IN THEIR F*CKING OTHER HANGARS! EVEN THOUGH YOU CHOOSE YOUR HANGAR AFTER YOU'RE MATCHED! BY THE WAY WHO ARE THE F*CKING GENIUSES THAT THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?! YOU'RE ALL F*CKING BRILLIANT! LOVE THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE COULD GET MATCHED BASED A 2.5K HANGAR AND DROP IN WITH A NEARLY MAX ONE! EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THAT DECISION SHOULD GET A PROMOTION! Oh wait I don't know that they could drop in with other hangars or not because go figure the MAX NOMAD was strong enough I never got to see another one of their mechs. So my point stands some very intelligent and hyper competent devs are deserving of a promotion.

And I know you always say you're constantly tweaking the matchmaking to make MA fair for everyone. BUT THEN WHY DOES THIS STILL F*CKING HAPPEN? Maybe I wouldn't be so offended, if this hadn't been an ongoing issue FOR FOUR F*CKING YEARS NOW! And whatever you're doing behind the scenes, which you won't disclose with us, on the surface IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED! So I have to ask why does it seem like you're sitting on your asses, doing the bare f*cking minimum in minimizing bugs and balancing the roster. There are only 2 ways I can figure things haven't really changed. EITHER THIS IS ON PURPOSE AND PAYRIUM ARE GREEDY PIGS THAT DON'T WANT TO FIX PROBLEMS IF IT DOESN'T AFFECT THEIR BOTTOM LINE OR DEVS ARE A BUNCH OF INCOMPETENT F*CKING BUFFOONS! AGAIN YOU'VE HAD FOUR F*CKING YEARS AND PLENTY OF SUGGESTIONS! One would think a competent dev team that actually cared about its players would have this solved by now. BUT SOMEHOW YOU F*CKING HAVEN'T. And I know you don't technically consider SP dropping to be cheating, but this is gaming the system to create an unfair advantage. And if you're not going to be implementing strict guard rails, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS PUNISH THESE PLAYERS FOR GAMING THE SYSTEM THIS WAY! IT SURELY IS CHEATING IF ONLY YOU WOULD CONSIDER IT THAT WAY! I wanted to say happy holidays, but THIS MATCH SINGLE HANDEDLY RUINED MY MORNING THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOURSELVES!

75% of my tournament matches up have multiplayer overpowered opponents that have no business being there. I have deleted multiple accounts over the years hoping they will fix that but it not going to happen because they are successfully creating spending with the current algorithm. I never will spend again and will probably quit again soon

You do know why people sp drop dont you? It's because if anyone has over a 12k hanger, we get put against 25k hangers and 90k sp, so we have no chance of wining anything, the only way we get to win is if we sp drop,

Now for me I don't so drop this bad, my main hanger is 17k, but when I play that hanger I'm always put again 20 to 30k hangers, so I play the same hanger but take all mods and pilots off, so all my mech and weapons are still maxed purple stars but it drops me to 9k hanger power, it's not easy matches cos I have no mods or pilots so I can die easy but it's alot easier than playing my maxed everything hanger at 17k, i tried so dropping to under 2k but it's just stupid to be honest because once your one good mech dies then the match is over, trust me you'll sp drop once u max out a good hanger

If everyone stopped using pilots and mods this game would be so much fun for everyone. The greedy individuals in charge of it don't want us to enjoy playing mech arena, they only want us enjoying ourselves wasting money on their digital garbage.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THE GAME'S DISHONESTY??


Is it possible to see a f*cking BOT, run by the F*CKING AI of this garbage game, and see a BOT BE IN THE F*CKING TOP 3??. As long as I see these things, the game remains garbage. Balances, rebalances, NERFs, everything remains garbage. The simple and pure truth is that the game is run by BOTS, controlled by AI. SUPER LOVED BOTS, 000 REACTION TIME.... and I'm supposed to spend it on this fake game??. Heheheheh 4 years of garbage. And they keep making fun of you..... Mech Arna the worst game ever.

That's not the SP dropping I'm talking about here. I'm talking about manipulating your hangar to have an uneven balance between the power of things in your hangar so you have 1 really strong mech and a bunch of weak ones to get matched up against new accounts playing normall and squash them with the god mech. Or mechs in this case. It definitely does give them easier matchup, unlike what you've described.

Is it really that hard to understand playrium is a FOR PROFIT company. Everything else comes a distant second. The devs arent smart. They are just clever. Shifting the meta to constantly get you to spend money. Pasha or whatever said that the "rebalancing" wasnt to nerf anything, which is absolutely STUPID, but to bring everything else up to spread out the meta. Which translates to an revolving meta which they can squeeze more coin out of us. They throw the free players a bone by giving them some of the weaker builds and then up the price on them to keep them grinding.

What really bothers me is, in this whole scheme they presented this to us like we asked for it and they are delivering on that. Apparently plarium doesnt have it in their budget to pay for real honest developers that are GAMERS. Like pasha for example. Dont let his fake, colorful and patchy tattoos fool you, those are real tattoos. Looks like he couldnt pay for a real tattoo artist either. So his thought process falls in line with plarium.

Original poster, you got 5 kills, which is acceptable under the circumstances. Your teammates didn't play as strong. The opposing player with 14 kills is very high, and that sucks. I occasionally get a maxed out opponant, but not often.

Everyone should consider they are likely missing matches in which they play against a high sp player, but win. You likely dont go back and check and find this out. It is only upon losing. Granted, this probably is less frequent.

I have had mismatches and still won. That doesn't happen against players with max stuff

The Win/Loss rate is set by AI at slightly better than a 50% win rate from what I've seen since the Beta days, unless you SP drop. I don't because it's not worth the effort. They're counting on player's getting frustrated while chasing the META because it makes them money.

Spot on in your first sentence there. For anyone who has run or worked in a business in a senior enough role to appreciate the reality of corporate business, being profit oriented is not wrong, if you're not, soon enough the company will fold, and any products or services they sell will stop / cease as well. 

I haven't looked into things enough to know whether Plarium is a limited company with shareholders, but if it is, then not being profitable (or even failing to reach budget targets) will soon result in the business ceasing to operate (ultimately, shareholders are thirsty and relentless folk). So apart from cases of toxic relationships with the game (love to hate and hate to love) most players should really want Plarium to be profitable because the alternative is not being able to play the game you like at all.

In today's gaming lanscape ingame purchases is the most ubiquitous way of generating revenue once the game has been sold to you the player, so again, that's just the reality, and as they say, if you're gonna hate, don't hate the playa, hate the GAME!!

Eh, more of the same responses. We'll see I guess, if I even make it to D1 before I go on hiatus again. I'm going to be playing hytale lots for the forseeable future and I anticipate it's going to be far more fun than any time I ever spent playing this.

This match happened in the regular 5v5 game mode btw. The only place I could find this acceptable is if it was in tournament mode with random matchmaking based on bracket. But since it's regular 5v5 it should have never happened. Would be great to know if you actually had a plan to stop these egregious mismatches. Like I said this is the same communication we've been receiving and it doesn't inspire confidence.

I'm serioiusly beginning to think plarium should sell the game cause I don't have confidence the current teamcan bring out the full potential of MA as a game. I'll give it another year about if this issue still isn't fixed by december this year, if we can face players with twice our SP, I'm just going to start advocating you sell.
