what is cpc, to many martinis to translate

Control Point Clash but shorter

I realize the devs and everyone needs to make a living but would it be possible to level the playing field a little by perhaps not charging A-coins to swap out pilot implants, or at the very least, not charge to swap the implants a few times a year?  Furthermore, we receive a maximum of 12 free tournament tickets a day but are forced to use them and cannot accumulate them over time but perhaps if we could get say 10 a day that can accumulate over time it would go along way to helping players spend their A-coins on leveling up instead. Perhaps a fair compromise would be to not allow the tickets to roll over yearly which would force players to use them and not collect them ad infinitum.  Offering more than 20 gold tickets for 100 A-coins is another option... These are just a  ways to help keep the playing field level since it's already very difficult to collect and save A-coins, especially since at one time we were able to at least receive 30 A coins a day doing the daily event (which equals 300 every 10 days) and made leveling up Mechs at least somewhat easier, whereas now we have participate in events that you need to actually own the Mech to win A-coins and not everyone does. For example: not long ago when Vortex was released, within a day or two there was an event to win Acoins if you possessed Vortex but the truth is, if I owned Vortex on that day, I almost certainly wouldn't need to complete that event for a few Acoins when they clearly spent multiple times the amount that the coins were worth on buying that Mech the day before.  

Anyway, it's just a few thoughts on how not to seem like you're trying to squeeze your target consumer for every penny and differentiate yourself from other games that attempt to do just that.  I appreciate what you guys have accomplished thus far with the game and can only hope that you continue to keep things fresh for a long time to come. Thanks.

Hello! Thanks for your huge feedback full of good suggestions. Some of the statements are already known and we are working on them, so stay tuned!

I have a suggestion that could affect mech arena in a positive way. 

I think the developers of mech arena, should make skins for the weapons. For exampe, The mech itself could have blue noescale, but If disc launchers had a skin, maybe the disc launcher skin could be 'Spike', to where spikes are shown on the sides of the disc launcher, but it would not change the skin of the mech altogether. 

I think this will be a fun gadget or tool to help players connect more with their mechs. Please respond to me on discord - megaversal_66910 

This idea sounds really fun! We will definitely consider it 😉

Thank you! :)

the game would close due to the absence of players because, if they were all human as the game is designed, it would be the end...

Dont use legendary or epic weapons, use rare ones so you get matched with lower sp people. Also, dont equip pilots or really good mechs. Do something like slingshot + fragment gun. Then put mechs like lancer, paragon, MD, and put weapons like rpg 2 and autocannon 2 on them.

The match making focuses on what is in your hanger, so if you equip bad mechs and weapons except for the fragment, it will put you with people of the same weapons and mechs, therefor you can easily defeat them.

Its Crap that my matchmaking Puts me with some weird ass 4-5 Star nomad and gates with arcs goddammit dude 

We literally get spawn Trapped

And in Events I COMPERE WITH 6K hangars 

Me having 2k :(

Just a thought:

What if tournament has no bots, and teams would be equally matched in terms of number of players so etc.

That could be cool, making it less mindless and frustrating. 

Just food for thought. 

Ok so the mortars... 

Yeah mortars are absolute bs. 

I fight maxed mortars somewhat often (on my main, lol) and it is stupid. 

Mortars, a RARE weapon can one-shot anything from across the map, especially at max.

They should be straight up deleted imo, especially from tourney.

That person commenting about it appears to be saying he's exploiting, by tanking his sp. 

I'm just pointing out he is not. 

I'm a fan of the tournament where everyone's loadouts are the same. That eliminates any p2w aspects in tournament and make it determined by skill. It wouldn't matter as much for regular matchmaking. And it would give people a chance to try items they might not have, items people might want to spend money for.

I've been achievement hunting with Paragon lately (gotta get that Autocannon achievement), so I've experimented a lot with my hanger to try and get opponents that I can kill with that dumb Autocannon.  I've noticed a few things.   

First, if I add even a single legendary item (say an implant for instance), I will face opponents (bots or live, it doesn't matter) with multiple legendaries each.  And I'm not talking sometime small, I'm talking a bastion or eclipse with discs, nearly maxed Stephania, and at least one legendary implant.  I'm dead in like 2 hits.  Not fun.

Second, my squad power matters, sort of.  I've got my squad down to under 1000.  I've only got two mechs, both common, using common weapon, rare pilots, and the best implants I've got for them.  I can tell as soon as I see the mechs from my team if I'll live longer than 30 seconds in the match.   Some matches I've got opponents that are level appropriate, some matches they blow me away so fast I want to break the keyboard.

Finally, if I do really well for a match or two, the game will hammer me for the next 3 or 4 matches.  By really well, I'm talking me keeping Paragon alive for the whole match and getting 5 kills with the autocannon.  But then, I'll get hammered by bots or live players with legendary this and that.  even if I run a setup without any legendaries at all!!!

I do think the matchmaking has gotten better.  but this feast or famine thing that's going on is not right.  There should be limiters in the game somewhere to keep some of the things that are happening from happening.  If I have a squad with only 1 legendary implant, none of my opponents should have more than one legendary implant.  If I'm doing well with my squad, I don't want to get destroyed for several rounds.  I don't mind it if my opponent uses good strategy and beats me, but beating me just because they have more legendaries or more upgrades than me should never be the reason they win - whether they are a bot or a human being.

Hopefully that all makes sense.  if not, feel free to ask questions, I'll give the best answers I can.  

If it were easy, we would already fix it. Nevertheless, due to the number of various game elements, including a flexible balance that allows a player to have any combination of Mechs/Weapons/Pilots they want, the Matchmaking system requires a special approach.

But as it was said before, the work's been in progress for all this time. In your case, shuffling your Hangar may help. Besides, you can find friends with approximately the same Squad Power and team up with them. Experiment! Make Matchmaking work for you 😉

You're naive. They s**t upon what we write or do. I don't care what should be that button's real purpose cos I have no other way to express my rage. If they s**t  us don't expect flowers. Clear.

Edited: explicit language is prohibited

You're reporting players because they have nomad mechs and they're matched against you? My guy, that report button is for suspected cheaters. You're being unreasonable and you're wasting the team's time, part if the team that has nothing to do with matchmaking. It makes it harder for them to get real cheaters, and that makes the experience worse for other players who are just trying to enjoy the game like you including ones that don't have Nomad. And if you could just block player, peopl would block unt they get nothing but bots.
