Hello, Mech Arena community! 👋
Welcome to the latest Mech Arena Roundup, where we'll dive into the latest news and upcoming changes in the game ⬇️
💫 First and foremost, we want to thank you for your tremendous support of the recent Visual Redesign. Your feedback, requests, and suggestions have been noted, and we're committed to carrying Mech Arena’s reimagined look into the future.
In our recent Visual Redesign video, the topic of Hangar Presets was mentioned, and many of you hoped that they would be released with the Redesign. While the development of the feature did go hand in hand with the Redesign, we need a bit more time to finalize it. You can expect the launch of Hangar Presets (now known as Squad Presets) this fall 🍂
✅ Next, let's talk about an upcoming change with the Sponsored Videos feature. As you might know, Sponsored Videos rolled out in stages. The feature was initially limited to a number of players and is currently only accessible on mobile devices. There have been several tests regarding its rewards, and starting next week, the currency of the reward for the "View 2 Sponsored Videos" Daily Objective will be the same for all players: Credits.
Another topic we wanted to cover is the new Modifiers feature that you’ve been enjoying the last couple of weeks. While the feature received a very warm welcome, we want to address some of the most frequently asked questions we’ve seen. First, Modifiers are a free feature, and their benefits apply automatically to any Player who has reached Division 10. While at the moment, you can only see one active Modifier at a time, we're planning to enable multiple types of Modifiers simultaneously in the future. All Modifiers without exception are temporary, with their durations subject to change. At this time, we're not considering an option for players to select their desired Modifier for activation 🤝
🛡 Last but not least, great news for the Tank enthusiasts! By popular demand, Mech Aegis and its Dome Shield are going to be tuned quite soon, so make sure your Aegis is ready for the action.
That wraps up today's Mech Arena Roundup. Please feel free to share your questions and thoughts in the comments section, and have a fantastic weekend! 💖
EVERY...SINGLE...THING about this update is made to drive revenue.
1) Reduce acoins ONCE AGAIN. Trying to get people to buy more.
2) Use credits (the most useless item in the game) as rewards.
3) Ignore feedback about Aegis and instead "tweak" it to try and get people to buy it.
4) Multiple "modifiers" so that people will switch implants to lesser used ones since they are getting the modifier rewards. Causing us to use more acoins.
EVERY change lately has been driven solely by their belief of what will make us spend more,
Money grabbing bastages. I'm done paying. NOT ANOTHER PENNY until things start changing back.
TENGU
You need to fix the Tengu Ability...
PEM is also supposed to be effective against BASTION and SURGE... And that doesn't work today!!
and in the skill description it was supposed to work, just like it works with ZEPHIR....
Putting it epic and with 24 energy.... would make the TENGU a mech worthy of playing again!!!
STOP BEING SO GREEDY
YOU ARE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LEVEL UP IN THIS GAME WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY
AT LEAST REWARD MORE A-COINS AND IN-GAME CURRENCIES
LET US PURCHASE PILOT COINS AND A-COINS WITH OTHERWISE USELESS CREDITS
GIVE US BETTER IMPLANT OPTIONS/ODDS
THE GAME IS GETTING LESS AND LESS FUN TO PLAY
Literally the worst thing u have done to this game.
Acoins are needed everywhere and u guys changed the vault blitz event which was the best option to get acoins and now this
reward for watching sponsored videos.
Now we need to play non stop for more than 2 weeks just for 200-800 acoins? U guys are Literally doing the same thing that war robots game did. I don't think f2p players are gonna stay for more than a couple of months.
Since the launch of the Sponsored Videos feature, we've been running tests on various aspects, including the rewards it provides. Our team has been actively collecting and analyzing data from these tests, leading us to the decision to offer a uniform reward to all players using Sponsored Videos. When we make adjustments to these rewards, we consider a multitude of factors that influence the overall game balance. This is why occasional changes like this become necessary.
the only things I see are less reward, less a-coins, less credits at each and every update.
this is the state of facts and is annoying

Some of the new weapons are ridiculiously overpower, disurptor doesn't even have to hit you to destroy your mech. EMP's are turning into cheatery, gamer hide in corners to EMP you then destroy your mech. EMP"s should also effect the mech using it to prevent this type of "cheating". Surge mech is notorius for this.
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion on the mentioned pieces of the Content. We will consider your thoughts 👌
Ability to progress is what makes a game a keeper. If you take away the ability to get A coins then you make this much less possible and so less exciting. I cannot see anyone watching videos for credits unless at a very early stage of the game. As such, I would reconsider or else bring back the 400 A coins per fortnight via fortune vaults.
Hello! It's still possible to obtain A-Coins by taking part in Events, completing Objectives and Achievements, joining Tournaments, and stuff! Besides, there are always affordable Offers, and Mech Arena Store
What I think is that the price of weapons and mechs is too high because of the difficulty we have to get the a-coins. And what I ask the developers is that you lower the price of mechs and weapons or raise the rewards in a-coins.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have your say and say what we think or want to improve for the future of the game.
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion on the recent Updates, we will take your thoughts into account 👌
Nos habeis dejado sin la posibilidad de intercambiar armas y pilotos entre los mechs al retirar el descuento por los implantes, o sea, nos condenais a las mismas armas con los mismos pilotos para siempre? Me parece del todo irrazonable y mas aun cuando estais reduciendo las recompensas por todo. A cada actualizacion nosotors, los jugadores que gastamos dinero, estamos peor. Los que van por free ya ni te cuento, sus nietos seran los que puedan maxear un mech/arma a este paso. Si me cuesta a mi que disfruto de holgura economica, imaginate al que no puede pagarlo. No se, en mi opinion deberiais pensaroslo un poco mejor o le veo poco futuro al juego.
Que quede claro que entiendo que teneis que ganar dinero y que el juego se nutre de los que pagamos para jugar, pero os estais pasando de la raya, amigos. El tiempo me dara la razon.
Nuestro equipo está recopilando todos los datos necesarios para el análisis a fin de considerar pasos adicionales. Aún así, por el momento no hay planes para lanzar otro descuento por extracción de implantes. (via Google Translate)
agies shield needs to be phased, but will lead to people using it for campers and rocket mortar with no way to kill them.
Implant recover should be 7 day cool down timer and a reduced acoin for quick 100% recovery. You have already milked us enough for them.
Mechs should have a implant slot for the mech specific implant, not on the pilot. Two would be even better, possible next level of star level for mech? This would also help reduce people recovering implant costs.
em rifle auto aim should returned, we purchased that gun with that feature. Or reduce the time it takes to fire.
illegal box gambling, where you purchase a ticket and the spin does not even include the top prize. Which is illegal
are you aware here in Australia, game ratings are changing. So your gambling spin boxes will give this game a MA+ rating. So only 16+ will soon be able to play this game, as an update will also trigger an age check.
giving us implants for mech specialists events, return it back to acoin. Who even wants epic implants, we aim for legendar. As you will milk us for recovery of those implant costs going from epic to legendar.
hanger redesigned for tablet sucks, mechs are now so far away when looking at hanger.
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your suggestions and thoughts with us, we will take them into account!
Talking about our Roulettes, you can check out the probability of getting the Rewards by clicking/tapping on the icon ⓘ at the top of the Roulette tab. Every spin includes the top Prize but it appears according to the provided percentage

Hello! The suggestion's become quite popular recently, so we will take this into account! Thanks
To the Developers/Admins of Plarium,
Here are some of the concerns of Mech Arena players:
Thank you!
Hello! Thanks a lot for such comprehensive feedback. I will comment on your points gradually.
1. Ever since we rolled out the Sponsored Videos feature, we've been actively experimenting with various aspects, including the incentives it offers. Our dedicated team has meticulously gathered and scrutinized the data gleaned from these experiments, leading us to the conclusion of implementing an equal reward for all players using the Sponsored Videos option. When it comes to fine-tuning these rewards, our decisions are influenced by a diverse range of factors that play into maintaining the balance of the overall gaming experience. As a result, from time to time, we find it necessary to implement changes like the one you've mentioned.
2. Will consider your point of view.
3. Our team is continually refining the AI that drives our bots, with the goal of making them emulate real players' behavior more closely. It's important to note that bots, unlike humans, lack nuanced human-like reasoning, tactics, and strategic analysis, making them less formidable in competition, potentially presenting skilled players with an easier challenge. This is why you might notice that, occasionally, they may be equipped with rather potent gear to balance the gameplay experience.
4. The Updates on clans are expected in the future, but not soon.
5. The issue is known and we are looking for ways to get it optimized.
Since the launch of the Sponsored Videos feature, we've been running tests on various aspects, including the rewards it provides.

Funny though. The "unified reward" you select ALWAYS seems to be the one that costs you the least, and helps us the least. What a shocker!
