I honestly think seal clubbing was more like a once in a while storm more than a constant problem to the average player. In lets say a 50 game average. Although I'm in a clan, 90 - 95% of the time I'm fighting solo, even if I was using gepards, might of come across a clubbing clan once, maybe, and a big maybe, twice within those 50 games. Seal clubbing from my experiences are greatly over rated, and more a rarity than a constant problem.
As far as highest damage doesn't equate to "play well", not sure if I understand your point. I worked very hard, and this has nothing to do with my equipment, but worked very hard to reach certain goals I set for myself, I kept logs of all of my results from each battle, what map I was in and made notes on why I lost and what I needed to do to play better. I was constantly striving to play better in each round forward and to reach my goals. Some people say the game got monatnous, but to me this work to reach these goals I set for myself, kept the game alive for me.

I agree seal clubbing isn't really an issue, since I lived through tht period without complaining (unlike the new mm)
In fact it made me wanting to lvl up fast so I can get a mag/Gep asap.
Besides does beginners really complains ant clubbing tht much?
But I do also see the point tht pix does not stand to gain financially if most players do not wish to max out and just stay at their comfortable lvls, or farm gold for that matter.
Only thing is the way they implement this new mm which is arguably making players lvl up (and spend $) by force that is really upsetting me
But then again both sides of the divide had argued over and over this issue...oh well.

I don't agree! Anyone was free to run a 5 gep hanger! I did and I did it very well to fund my gold bots and weapons! BUT! There were many times I got my ?bum-bum? kicked! They shouldn't have nerfed the geps until they gave the gep clans option to run against each other and enjoy our competition! That's what we enjoyed the most! Let's be honest what they did is stop the farming because it was less cash in their pockets! ???KillerGirl??? You basically confirmed my entire reply... Farming for gold meant you didn't have to buy Au. Why should Pix leave that exploit/option available if they want to encourage gold purchases (from a revenue generation perspective). From a business perspective, giving you the option to avoid buying premium currency reduces potential revenue generation. I bet Pix is willing to lose "your" business (someone who farms gold) if they can get 1-2 "new" players who are willing to spend real money for gold... You are forgetting word of mouth. Even those who farmed their gold still generated interest and would draw in new members who would potentially pay to catch up and farm themselves, or who would pay on a regular basis. The more people who play, the more potential revenue for Pix. Add the incidental spending for special events and that potential for revenue is obviously multiplied. That's just business common sense. |

Well... I am sure Pixionics are feeling the hit in their financial pocket for initiating this FORCED upgrade to bring in more cash. Their TOP GROSSING had rapidly dropping from highest I have seen few weeks ago was 6 ..then 9...then 12...and today rank 17 top ACTION grossing apps.
Anyway, this game is mess currently with mostly heavy bots on the battlefields nowadays - light and medium bots (except carnage & galahad) are almost non-existent in Top Tier Battles.
This company is very hard to trust with frequent tactics of BAIT & SWITCH.
We cheer to those that trust Pixionics and continue to support them financially.
However, majority of the people in silver tiers are not playing as much and not buying as we used to.
The gold tiers players had been there for a long time and not buying anything much either.

Wow Anarchy, thanks for that update about Pixonic, hopefully they will start fixing these issues soon and return the game to the game we all loved to play. I need to spend as trying to get weapons up a few levels but been very reluctant lately.

Needing to vent, game is horrible right now. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!
Here is a thought for an extremely simple ranking system: total health of all bots in hangar + total dpm of all equipped weapons = player ranking score.
Maybe too simplistic, but Pix needs to get back to some kind of equipment based tier system.
A level playing field is the fairest matchmaker there is.
I used to love battling with top level players that came down to silver. Seeing their skills and battlefield awareness was eye-opening. Destroying one of their bots one-on-one was a victory in itself. Battling top level players in their maxed hangars, not so much.
Why should I see Swarm squads and VOX pilots in their maxed out glory? Ever?
I know I'm not that good. The red pilots know I'm not that good. Apparently matchmaker is the only entity in this whole universe that thinks I am that good.
And it is wrong. Game after game.
Really wrong!

Exactly. I played low gold 80% and low silver 20% of the time, because I did not like the meta in top tier (had resources for 10/10s).
I have NO interest in unskilled aphid, trident and orkan throwing battles in top tier.
Taking out clubbers required required extreme precision in timing and situational awareness and you had to learn how to force them in point blank combat with your Thunder.
In top tier, I am only playing Griffins and Galahad with the occasional Trident Pin Natasha. I am a good pilot but you can't substitute skill with equipment. And bull[poo - poo]er is going to kill a 6/8, no matter how much skill the 6/8 guy has.

Agreed.
While I play Gep myself, I used to have great satisfaction chasing one with my thunder schutz.
Can't do that no more with the new mm

It is my suggestion to take both MM and sandwhich them together. I should get more points for killing 12/12's than a golem. Currently anybody is an equal target, but the system rewards you if they had a lot of HP to kill. The system doesn't care what your gear is. If it looked at both your gear and your stats it'd be best for everybody. Even if you were dominating lower tiers, it would take a while to advance to a next tier if you didn't get as many points for killing weaker players. Farming is not my thing but I know Pixonic is trying to control their revenue. People wouldn't be as upset if they revamped the MM instead of trying something different altogether.

The game is a piece of 「dookie」 right now. After more than 300 battles in the new MM, I'm still having runs of games where I'm repeatedly getting my teeth kicked in by 10+/10+ bots. Those out of level hangars and the far too frequent early droppers are basically deciding the outcome of most of my battles.
If Pix thinks this is motivating me to put more $$$ into the game, they are incredibly deluded. A more likely response is that my tablet will go flying through the nearest window.

The game is a piece of ?poo-poo? right now. After more than 300 battles in the new MM, I'm still having runs of games where I'm repeatedly getting my teeth kicked in by 10+/10+ bots.

If Pix thinks this is motivating me to put more $$$ into the game, they are incredibly deluded. A more likely response is that my tablet will go flying through the nearest window. Exactly this. Playing cannonfodder with my 9/9,5 hangar for maxed Furys everywhere should motivate me to grab a few hundred and throw at them? It did motivate me to get a new GPU for my PC and pick up some games I was lookin at anyways (each for half the price of a Lance, btw). It also motivated me to reinstall MWO... they really improved that game a lot... |
