We keep hearing this over and over but nothing has improved. In fact the AI got more aggressive in the last update. I think we can all see through this smoke screen your comments throw up. The AI is designed to push players to purchase weapons and mechs early in an attempt to beat the AI - which many new players still believe to be real players.
I started an alt account to run through the tutorial and see what new players are facing... it's way worse than it was a few months ago when I started the game during global release.
This is due to the current matchmaking test for a group of players. When it's finished, things will be back to the previous state. Then we'll analyze the results to see if these changes are needed or not. It's not that simple to achieve a perfect balance. But we don't give up! 😉
