My gripe with this mech is simple: Paid. Here's my reasoning, us F2P players can only get 1 event crate rush token. According to the info, the chances of us getting it with a token is 6.67% (check it if you want). So, if we get unlucky, we'll just not get Orion, since to get more event crate tokens you need to pay hard cash. Same with Tengu, and Aegis. I did get stalker by luck thankfully, but no cigar for both Aegis and Tengu (No missions if I recall to get tokens for Tengu). So please, if you're willing to hear suggestions, make it so that future mechs can be obtained via an event mission like Arachnos. Or make it so that there are more ways to obtain the event crate tokens. I do not mean to attack the devs in any way, devs have been doing great on other stuff, I'm just saying what I think. Thanks and have a great day!

[@darealpony5]

I agree to derobotlab. The devs need to find a way on how to get these cool mech and weapons in the game. So far I got Stalker and Tengu from the A-coin crate rush events and some weapons, but other mech and weapons havent showed up on those A-coin crate rush events. Even if the devs cant put it on the Derby Events or the Arena Playoff Events the devs could atleast put it on those A-coin Crate Rush Events even those OP weapons (ex: disc launcher 16, Arc Torrent 12, Missile Rack 12 and others). Or put it on Token Crate Rush Events where there will be 3 questlines which will award you 3 tokens as the final prize

[@chindoge6834]

Agreed, f2p players need more resource to compete

@@Joker3130 Tanks are made for holding control points and distracting enemies, they can resist a big amount of damage with their health.

[@genzeuronymous7787]

But what's the deal with all these new mechs having a buck load of hp? even the newest scouter has the same health as guardian, who was known for his tough armor.. on top of high speed and mobility with it's ability and stasis too plus stealth. Stalker has scout speed with the health of a tank and can turn 12 energy weapons into better versions of 16 energy weapons especially with implants, and now this? Maybe it's time some of the older mechs got a little health buff, especially guardian. He's becoming too squishy and slow with all the new mechs and features coming out . .

[@zerubiszeus4687]

The Guardian is a lil vulnerable, but his ability leaves most if not all mechs completely unarmed at close range. But you are right, it would be nice to see the old Juggernaut get an HP/shield boost. It's only trick is straight tankness

[@MarianzYT]

The new mechs are basically a one in all thing, like the thing with the tanks for example was their lack of energy and speed, but high hp. For the scouts, same but with their ability, and for the attackers less hp but more damage capabilities. But these new mechs have lots of hp, high energy capacity and a strong ability. That's obviously because they want people to pay for them, as they are clearly op

[@MechArenaOfficial]

Upgrades or changes to the older Mechs are definitely not off the table. On the contrary, our team receives various feedback from the players regarding the characteristics of the original Mechs that they would like to see tweaked. This feedback is never put on the back burner - the changes are being gradually introduced. For instance, last week the legendary Surge received its buff 😉

[@therobotengineer9834]

Hey Plarium, I love Mech arena, but There are some problems with the game: 1: Limited time mechs like Orion and Stalker are near impossible to get for f2p players. Getting only one token for the event crate means only a slim chance to get the mech, which means either waiting for them to reappear or praying they get added to the progress path, which they don’t. 2. Credits are, for being the most common resource, hard to get. Your not likely to run out of A-coins if you spend them wisely, but It’s hard to get enough credits to upgrade anything. Either make things cheaper or allow us to get more credits in a way that doesn’t involve whipping out our wallets to save time. 3. This is my personal experience, but I hate 2v2 Deathmatch. Unlike 5v5 , 2v2 has awkward, clunky maps, Artillery weapons are basically useless as the rockets will either collide with the roof of wherever you are positioned, or the enemy can basically move in any direction because there are so many places to take cover. 5v5 matches are exciting and promote teamwork. 2v2 matches, from my experience, are just mechs slapping each other until death, then switching to a new mech and repeating. 4. The shop. I see a lot of people who have bought Ares and Arc Torrents for like, £3-4 and just decimate players because at the lower divisions where these types of players are found, all the other mechs are too flimsy and no one has strong enough weaponary to defeat them, unless they buy it. These are some of the problems I have. I love the game in general, but these issues need to be solved if players are gonna be able to enjoy the game without converting into money burning whales such as Raid Shadow legends, another title of yours. On another note for the people reading this, pls make sure Plarium see this.
