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! 💖
I have been playing this game for over 3 years now. I know that handling a game is hard, but can you please make the following changes? It will add more players and will make everyone happy.
1. Fortune vault blitz should be at least once in a month- 350 acoins
2. Please bring back the 30 a coin daily. It is very easy to get credits (because of your hard work of course!) and we need acoins to play.
3. There should be at least 1 event every week, which will give us 50 acoins if we complete it.
That is all. Because of your hard work, we have great game to play. However, this update made me sad. i remember cheering when the extra 30 a coin task came. Please, if you see this comment, make sure the changes are done. Thank you!
@CrystalDrew, first thank you for answering clearly. There was still some canned response mingled in there, but it was honestly better than I was expected. Kudos for that!
Now paraphrasing...
"We knew these changes were going to be unpopular, but we implemented them anyway because we have a vision of where we want to go."
I have seen this design mentality many times before in games, apps, enterprise level software etc. There is one single consistent fact that they all tripped on. They made the app a failure. A great example is the game "Dreadnought". It may still be available on Steam. It was a beautiful game with great gameplay. The community loved it. May of us bought into it and played it a TON. But then the Devs started making changes based on where THEY wanted to go. The public hated the changes. They spoke back. They pushed back. They rebelled. Sound similar?
In the end, the game is now completely dead. Why? Because the Devs didn't listen to the player base. They decided that where THEY wanted to go was more important than what the people that PAY for it wanted. This is never a recipe for success, and it never works.
Like I said, I have seen this w/ Games, with other apps (like MS Lync/Skype), etc. Same thing over and over.
Since the goal of a game/app/whatever is to be a vehicle for the creators to make money, WHY WHY WHY would you not listen to what the people that are PAYING for it actually want?
This is a lesson my kids had to learn the hard way. They though that what they wanted was more important than when the person paying for it (me) wanted or was willing to do. In the end, they were upset, without what they wanted, and I still had my money so I didn't lose anything.
If this keeps up, Plarium will end up in a similar way to my kids. Upset, and without what they want (players and money). We'll just move onto another game. Which will really suck, since at its core Mech Arene can be a really fun game. That's why we're pushing back. To keep the game alive and fun. We'd rather not see it become yet another dead husk of a game with no players.
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on the current direction of the Mech Arena development. We will take your words into account! 👌
Of course! The store that cannot be missed xD! It doesn't matter that we players feel frustrated, it doesn't matter that your changes end up costing us a lot of money because that is precisely what you intend, it doesn't matter that you have ruined the player experience, it doesn't matter everything because there are going to be changes (probably dedicated to squeezing the money out of us). Gentlemen!!! Let the whole world knows!!! There are going to be changes!!! All you had to do now is making us believe that they are going to benefit us. We have to be submissive clients and keep quiet when you are bothering us as much as you can, and on top of that, you always make it clear to us that it is done on purpose!
You can't play a good game, as you hear, not even one, because your bots ruin everything and even with all your maxed out mechs and weapons you won't be able to beat them. Now your bosses have decided to destroy our games with Scorpius maxed with maxed gravitons, implants and legendary pilots and with extrasensory perception because they are capable of killing you even when they are looking somewhere else. Maxed explorers with full mortars, implants and legendary pilots, which always, always, always know where you are, otherwise they wouldn't be able to shoot, but you can't see them ergo kill them.They don't let you develop your game strategies, and what could we say about the Gatecrashers with railguns and EM rifles, maxed out of course , and they shoot you at a 90 degree angle and kill you. Just yesterday I saw a Surge bot flying, but that was surely due to the needs of the game, right?
You have explanations for everything, everything is justified and the bad guys are the players, clients who put their money in the game and who come to complain to this forum for nothing.
All of this should be reportable before the law because at the end of the day, we are talking about a dishonest company, PLARIUM, that all it does is despise its customers while inventing new ways to make them spend by all means, even stealing resources for which you have previously paid, such as implant points. I understand this is business bc I'm running my own, but you are going so far.
Fix once and for all everything that you have broken and that causes us displeasure and then you will have time to develop new things!!! This is something you could easily do but we all know you won't.
Hello! Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback, it will be considered! Speaking about the bots, I have already confirmed that their AI is being reworked and improvements are on the way 👍

Your affectionately,
Mech Pro Bro.
Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas! Although there are no plans to bring back the mentioned features, it's quite possible that your A-Coins income may increase due to the Events/Activities that we are launching!
I think guye should buff tengu to have 24 energy, because i dont really see people use him that often also because he has 16 max eneregy he never makes it to the end game. so Mech arena pls buff tengu

Or maybe it won't if they're all split among events for different items you have to spend a crap load of a-coins on in the first place. Some of them sub-optimal like epic pilots. No the only real way a player's a-coin income is if anyone can complete the events.
The only thing you guys done and
i hate is the cost to remove implants, you guys money hungry don't care about your players anymore I been a player since the beginning and keep messing up....
This past time I didn't know about you when back to the old l, and charging again for removing them so I go caught low guard on that and I have them all over and mess up all my game for every implant cost me 4-6k a- lcoins is insane you sell 18k for $269 dollars now do the mat 4 implant around per pilot 20k per robot.
5x20=100k around not axact all depends on the implants and if you max it out.
5x20=100k + other pilots we have besides main hangar..
Plus a-coins to max robots also not cheap common guys you don't need to ne this bad.......

Nerf on weapons Nerf on mechs more and more you are killing the game....why waste time wasting resources on leveling up weapons and mechs...and then you make them weaker;;The same thing will happen as happened with the War robots many people will stop playing
