Hello! The early game has evolved significantly since the launch. Starter rewards help new players reach a competitive baseline, but they don’t bypass progression or experience advantages.

They did a blizzfrost crate rush event where anyone who had saved a significant amount of resources could max it out, or obtain it and lots of resources to upgrade it I don't know exactly. But it's like every other crate rush. It was recent.

Yes new players got it free. Veteran accounts have advantages too though. Much greater than getting a free mech or two or three early. Most of them aren't even the best mechs. And you can only get 3 of them, or 4 if you sign up with a promo link. But by far the best value you get out of that is surge which is 1 rank lower than when you get it in gear hub and then a pair of revoker 8s. That's another thing too is new players get these things at lower ranks. We get them at rank 5 and from crate rush event we get to get resources from that which let us upgrade it further.

Drew's incorrect it is bypassing progression but not like it's any huge amount. It's also actually harder for those players to get those first mechs up to the same level as ours.

Old players do get plenty of promo codes too they've been doing a bunch of promos with 200-300 a-coins

They just made new players spend even more. Give them a powerful mech right away and they'll feel divine, and want to be even more so. They'll spend more and more, not knowing they're heading down a path of no return, into poverty. Then, a few months later, they'll find themselves with useless mechs and weapons, because, as has been happening for the past three years, they'll be nerfed... 1) they'll become incompetent, 2) or they'll spend more and more to become competitive again... the deception of this game is remarkable,

and that's the only reason they did this...

I too feel this game is pay to win and does many deceptive things  , all aimed at getting the all mighty dollar ! Make no mistake , i know it takes money to maintainma game , but this goes way beyond that. Seriously where do they get off charging 94.99 for a weapon or a mech , that if you dont get you will never be competitive.

Lets be truthful here they know that they are 200% a pay to win game. It is what it is but the least they could do is at least have a fair matching system , but then again they would lose another opportunity to make  more money.

In the end we all know that this will not change as greed has taken over above the desire to make an awesome game that was fun to play ! Shame on you for doing this to an otherwise great game

Well, at first, the A-Coin Rewards were much higher. Nowadays, they are 1/5 to 1/10 of the original rewards for quests or events. Saying that it improved is brave.

Some strong weapons are buyable for credits would be a stronger argument, but the game forces new players to invest in bad mechs/weapons to gain better ones. That wastes a significant amount of resources that could be spent more effectively. Since the levelling system was implemented, I feel like building a stronger team takes way more time.

Which bad mechs and weapons are we forced to invest in? Cause guardian, stalker, and even lancer are still really good. Hard to pass up arachnos or anything with a high energy capacity. None of these are things we have to invest in either.

Then in the epic category you have even more. Panther, Redeemer (not yet but after buff), Orion, Aegis.

Weapons in the rare and epic category may not be very good but you can unlock legendary weapons starting at 6 energy in gear hub tier 4. 

Since its launch, the game hasn't evolved at all. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS GONE IS YOUR DAMNED AI AND THE SUPREMACY OF THE BOTS. MATCHMAKING HAS GOTTEN ABSOLUTELY WORSE, AS PROOF IS HAMGAR S. For the rest, it remains a mediocre game, poorly managed, manipulated, and not at all fun. Only new players who are attracted by the offers and by the AI ​​that manipulates the BOTS have fun... it's a shame, because your greed has ruined a GOOD GAME... from my point of view, it's now irreparable. There's no need for skill, there's no need to be good players, there's no need for strategy, the only strategy you need is to build a low hangar and exterminate everyone. Let's stop with these, we know about it, we're working on it, the only thing you do is design new weapons and mechs and that's it... as for the rest, the game mechanics are the WORST EVER. Now, after 4 years, I can say that there are no real innovations. AHHH yes, I forgot

or the 4 waves of NERF EHEHEH, as always NERF NERF and non-existent camouflaged rebalancing, which have only caused yet more chaos in games that have become a real waste of time. You are a terrible TEAM, unfortunately, having experience with other games, I can say it, and you should be aware of it... it's not my fault... there are fun, less expensive, and balanced games out there. Standing here and watching bots take the top 3 places, or 2 places in the result. It's a joke.

I don't think so, spend wisely to support Mech Arena and I've been top 500 player.  Get better or end up complaining, i suggest you stop playing, but I know you won't. :D 

Done with this game where the Bots are maxed out in every possible way. Cannot even compete wtih these

i

You can always compete, use mechs that beat both the weapon and the mech.  I would use Seeker on this opponent, obviously at least 5 star, 4 star weapon & mech will be too slow and will get countered.

No your 100% wrong you made this game to make whales happy and only whales

the garbage always remains, and nothing has evolved at all, the problematic AI and abusers of the lower hangar remains, how can you say that it has evolved.. HERE only 1 player is enough, armed with 1 mech, and he only had that.. how can you justify a garbage game mode like this, where you give the chance to someone who spends, if he then loses against only 1 mech??, how do you see the evolution of this game and only in the variety of where to spend money uselessly, and with this 3 games and after this crap I close as many others will do today, dead game, garbage game, now there is no more hope, work in progress are just lies.

@LXI-blakrein @slobbyknobbyAll those players making fun of me listen I am a F2P player I don't buy items with money like you all. I just need some resources to get my favourite loadouts. Don't talk about my skills, IF it comes to me I am many times good than you and if you say to prove I can prove too. I have played with my new ID and old ID and can see the difference new player's matchmaking have very few real players and all bots. But as your hangar power increases you will fight with legendary mechs and weapons. OK I accept we too get some promocodes but can you get Rank 3 Blizzfrost with 200 A COINS? Just play as a player with no money invested in game. To fight regular ugrades are necessary to match their power. The matchmaking should be by matching division not by hangar. I have one old ID WITH Division 7 and Rank 3 Paragon, Rank 2 Lancer, Rank 2 or 3 Juggernaut and like these. Still only noob players and Bot come. Should a player with these reach Division 1. If he doesn't even need to buy another mech or weapon. I am again requesting Matchmaking should be according to Division. 

Divisions don't even determine what rewards you get though. They'd have to modify the rewards system. I'd rather they optimize the current system too because yeah sure you don't necessarily need any other mech or weapon, but then if you want to improve your performance in battle and in tournaments plus hangar showdown then you need better equient

지금 포실자본능 이벤트 1~3등 보면 문제가 있어보이는데 1등은 전체 게임수랑 킬수 보면 16킬씩해야되고 만약에 그렇다고 치면 부케로하는것 같은데 신규유저 끌어모으기위한 이벤트가 아니라 양학유저들 템 몰아주기 이벤트로 밖에는 안보임. 과금하며 게임하는거도 이젠좀 안해야겠다는 생각이 듬. 답답하다~

Remember not to long ago when all the bots became over powered and the mech arena community yelped in pain? I up graded one legendary mech to almost max and every battle was like that, my other 4 were no where near maxed. After stealing my money to give me a terrible experience I realized these people have no idea what they are doing. Trying to advance is just standing in place, and if you're unlucky you'll fall down a programming black hole one day. So don't have any ambition that you will progress. It's an illusion. 

So don't bother spending a penny. Where ever you are is fine. Don't even bother trying to advance. When you see the hanger with the blizzards, surge, ect, and your hanger is 1,500 sp just have a knowing laugh. They think they are going somewhere but there is no where to go. And the guy with one mech in his hanger getting 15 kills has allowed the game to drive him insane. Poor dude.

Game I just had. I've only unlocked tier V, my only human opponent has twice the sp and zooming around with his killjoy, so why not have a hemlock bot on his team? Why not? It makes no sense but this game doesn't. It's like ai that suddenly says crazy things. Anyone believing mech arena has any rhyme or reason to it is lost.

Battle I just had, the lacewing with a gemini 16 did me in, but his whole hanger was legendary mechs with excellent weapons at about 3000 sp, and why not because the pwr of legendaries are pretty close to the pwr of epic mechs. Wouldn't surprise me if eventually the whole of hangers between 2500 to 3000 sp are just like that, because why not. Maybe why they are giving noobs legendary mechs to start now. Who knows? It's all alice in wonderland. 

Here is an idea plarium, which I know will be ignored, instead of buffing and nerfing why not increase or decrease its power rating, and then strictly adhere to only battles between players of a +/- 25% sp difference? It's still messy but at least it has some form of logic.
