  1. Onslaught should be based on Mech only, not the weapons. Even though most of the players don't have the mech, but in the next onslaught it should be mech only, like get this mech and do the tasks.
  2. It would be great if there's a vote before blueprint modifier.
  3. Since there are many ECR now, if the entire 6 en weapon comes in credit crate that will be awesome.
  4. The playoffs lost their old charm, there's aren't any mech or weapon playoffs worthy of the grind.
  5. A task or derby where we can choose the skin of our liking would be cool.
  6. Wood Dragon skin and Vortex skin lost their shine.
  7. After completing the achievements there should another futuristic skin, like Cyan or Purple, or the skin of our choice of the mech we completed the achievement.
  8. Maybe an event where the best skin art made by player added into the game.

  1. Onslaught I like the event because of the music and the skins the bots have, but there shouldn’t be a mech and weapon requirement. I think both should be removed immediately. I like how you can play mechs and weapons you don’t have, which makes it fun, especially for new players, adding a lot of variety but having a mech and weapon requirement in the other levels ruins the fun of it, especially since you can’t get the skin and a-coin reward, which ruins the fun of it. Also, there should be a crate rush for the onslaught skins.

  2. Modifiers The modifiers are a good addition to the game, as it helps a lot with collecting Bp and implants, but there shouldn’t be modifiers for mechs/weapons players don’t have.

  3. Game balance
    There are too much over powered content in the game which takes like 3 of your mechs just to kill one guy using it. Theres also so many weak content, which really needs some love in the meta. The game should start having balanced changes more frequently, like every month or so, and it should include nerfs to the strongest mechs/weapons and buffs to the weakest.

  4. Derby event
    I don’t mind the derby, but the rewards are not worth it. Like, an implant for a weapon we have to pay for isn’t exciting. There should be free mechs/weapons instead, or legendary skins. Also, the “play with clanmates” tasks should be removed. It was so hard for me just to get one guy to help me with this task, and not everyone is in a clan.

Overall, really liking this feedback survey, but can we also get an idea one? I have a lot of features to share!

I tried giving feedback and it was blocked. What keyword didn't you want to hear?

#

I'm not typing all that again. The gist: I am a whale. I have a maxed hangar.

#

None of these events have prizes that are worth the effort or time.

#

Crates are horrendous. I won't buy without an equal chance instead of a jackpot system

#

I won't open crates when blueprint modifiers are happening. I end up saving them. Then, I end up having a ton if a useful BP modifier comes, so I don't need to buy any!

#

I was really excited about the new mech Wasp. I won't be buying it, though. Too much hassle to do the crate thing after spending that much. Most importantly, until SP dropping is fixed in tournaments, I am done spending without deep consideration. It's anticompetitive and hurting your revenue to let it continue. Somebody like me with a maxed hangar who plays well loses out to an equal player using a wimpy hangar with one strong weapon?

#

How am I supposed to be excited about playing or buying new things?

#

As for onslaught, just drop it entirely. Use your resources to fix what is broken. If I want to play against bots, I can just play with my own stuff in any 5v5 because there are not enough real players at my level to get matched against. This is due to the exorbitant cost in gear hub. There is no chum for the whales to devour.

I have only played 2 games and gotten a very respectable score with my 11k hangar. This guy already has 5x my score by manipulating the matchmaking. I'm supposed to be excited for tournament and pay to upgrade things? I don't think so 🧐

#

The people with smaller hangars that get destroyed, are they supposed to be excited and spend money to upgrade when this blatant cheating is acceptable? Think they don't get tired of it?

Completely agree with aabhaas on everything
We need more player to game interaction ie. Modifiers/polls for events etc etc
We just need some way of interaction

REDUCE THE PRICE OF SKINS IN THE SHOP!!!
nobody wants to pay 15.99 for a skin when they can literally get a mech for the same price!

A little more about my balance talk, players at early levels shouldn’t be able to be matched against with players with high level equipment. Starter mechs and weapons should be able to compete against later level stuff, regardless of the tier they are in

Hey mech arena official or plarium I really like these new updates for free to play but you should really give good rewards for Scorpious and you should just make it totally free and you should give some exp system that can be purchased with acoins or real money but mech arena game never give us forse adds so it's best game and please think about my idea please

Daddy silence bullied me into write one so here it is

  1. Events are...mediocre this week. The scorp derby is cool and all, but it's for a mech no one cares about. It'd be better if you did the derby for eclipse or nomad.

  2. All the new modifiers suck. Seriously, we don't need mods for carbs and shit because no one has them, because they're overpriced. Modifiers for bp drops and mech cooldowns would be better

  3. All the new crate rushes are paywalled, and they suck.

  4. The matchmaking seems to have gotten easier, infact im getting even more scores when I'm tanking so that's nice

  5. Please make playoffs worthwhile, we really don't need playoffs for skins, or the short ones which give a lot of crates. We need the ones which give out mechs and weapons, exclusive items

  6. The first 2 lvls of scorp onslaught was fun, mindless bot farming. Would be better if you made onslaught for popular mechs

  1. Make event crate rushes f2p friendly. Like the old days give us atleast 1-2 tokens through events instead of simply if you want tokens, open your wallet and take them.
  2. Onslaught event has so many varying requirements that it's hard to get them if you don't know beforehand, even then if you aren't very good at the game you can't use those weapons and all at base level anyway so you would need upgraded ones. I don't know a single reason why I would have crappy stuff like voltaic RPGs r5/r6 beforehand or even during the event. Atleast make the rewards good enough to encourage players to get all the requirements. Even if you had the requirements decently upgraded beforehand scorpius alone is 9375 acoins, but the onslaught only rewards 3k/3.5k(idk) which still leaves the cost at 6k and scorpius is not some sort of meta that everyone will use after the event anyway, if it was then this wouldn't be an issue anyway.

ok so my feedback-

  • The event crate rushes are just fraudulent, like who will pay 100 bucks for just ONE weapon/mech/pilot, making the chances equal and fair will solve the issue.

  • The acoins: I know this is quite reiterated, but you guys only tell how can one free to play player will muster up around 9k acoins just to unlock ONE mech, tournaments are just mind numbing and filled with cheaters (droppers and tankers) but this issue can not be fixed by fixing the matchmaking issue, coz like no one will grind 10 hours just to win grandmaster.

  • Fortune vault: Just remove the credits from the 10 and 20 crates, like I'm pissed off getting credits all the time from the 10 keys and the chances of obtaining the desired stuff are minimal.

  • DON'T bring out a skin playoff at all, (or change it) the new scorpious skin is great but only whales can get it, make it like "play x amount of matches to get skins" coz like a only few players really care about skins, so don't make the tasks like "Spend/obtain 200 acoins" for getting points just for a skin.

  • The achievements: Like c'mon who puts kill 7200 mechs with frags using seeker, if you average like 10 kills per battle it'll probably take around 720 battles just to complete one achievement, please make the achievement less time consuming. No one really wants to no-life on achievements.

  • Implant system: Like if I want my desired implant (let's take an example here ah.. system crash range) and it's not available in the pilot shop at 3100 acoins. You're compelled to even pay the game to get desired implants. Make a Implant shop where we can get ANY implant of our choice but make it a quite expensive like it takes 3100 acoins for a legendary implant at the moment, so make it make like 3800 acoins in the Implant Shop.

#

  • Mitigate/Balance Seeker: Just remove the boost implant of seeker like why is it even there? seeker is just broken as freak. You get a shield which is nice for protection against snipers but why making it a stalker by adding the boost Implant, it almost one taps most of the stuff.

  • Rationalise clans: Like it has no logical reason why is it there? make it like something interesting where you get a few rewards by playing with clan mates, also make it like you can share/trade stuffs with clanmates.

Good morning,

  • Feedback on Onslaught:
    • Many players find it frustrating when they lack a specific weapon, especially if they have everything else but lack the in-game resources to purchase that missing weapon. This situation can block their progression in Onslaught. The community's desire is to have trial versions of all weapons available in all missions. This way, players can try out the weapons before being forced to buy them.
  • Limited Content Creators (CC) coverage on Onslaught:
    • Despite several content creators (CCs) being prominent on the leaderboards, there is minimal coverage of Onslaught. Only Omniverse provided a comprehensive overview of his progression. Unfortunately, he didn't delve into extensive details due to knowledge on tactics constraints, but it would be beneficial to explore different strategies and pitfalls for each mission. Additionally, the usual CCs, Scape and Mayer, only scratched the surface (with 20 minutes and 5 minutes of content, respectively) compared to Omniverse's analysis over hours. Providing a platform to explain each weapon used in depth could enhance understanding.
  • Success of 2vs2 Events:
    • I want to emphasize the success of 2vs2 events. These events significantly encourage players to engage with this game mode, resulting in numerous matchups against human opponents. Even on more isolated servers like the Australian ones, the interest remains high.
  • Addressing Boredom:
    • To combat daily monotony, there are currently five exclusive tournaments either ongoing or in the pipeline. These events provide players with exciting opportunities and break the routine.
  • Clan Enhancements:
    • I plan to utilize the temporary Discord channel to share findings from the clan enhancements discussions gradually. I will add regular moderators to ask the critical questions, personally I'm not a huge fan of CC having access to these discussions but I was pleasantly surprised by the critical view of at least one. This will help enhance clan features and foster community engagement.

Since this week, I get this crash when trying to shut down the game.
Not sure if applicable under "crashes" 🙂

  1. onslaught is a great idea, but definitely feel the weapon and mech requirements should be removed. It definitely needs to be used as a "hey, try this setup, do x tasks/play, get x reward!"
    2)oh, modifiers... They're great, but can often make things that don't need to be stronger, stronger. It's frustrating when using a weaker weapon that gets a buff for a couple of days,, making it useable, and then it's weaker after/feels ruined. Also, you have to deal with already strong weapons or Mechs being even stronger or more abusable. I could understand modifiers if there was no cost to remove and switch around implants/etcs. But at this point modifiers don't really matter for anyone... For the most part.3) I like event crate rushes, but hate how its almost guaranteed that you have to buy every single slot/roll chance in order to get the item. It never feels "good" that you got the thing/item, moreso like.. "ugh, I wish I got this 5 rolls ago". I do Enjoy the event rushes that are free. Even if work is required. 5). Make real matches happen more often! I've played mech arena for years. Just starting out? Bots were fun. After a couple of months ? Absolutely not. It's to the point where when I start a match, I check for real players. And If there's none, I abandon the match. MA really needs to make a que/waiting system where you can "wait* for x minutes so that real players can play together. Also, gotta fix SP dropping even tho it's almost impossible. At least, minimum, for tournaments. 6) none. Haven't played in a week or longer. 7) Nova doesn't have a twin sister pilot with a skimpier outfit.

It's feedback channel, not bug report
