Some ads to bring them money might alleviate the need or intense desire to use us for gold farming

I've always maintained the position that short ads that provide 5 gold each would increase pixo's profits a lot. I think I actually made an earlier post about it.

Even 1 or none would work for me. Something to relieve the grind, and it might make the take more fun. Easier to buy, upgrade, be more competitive,etc. Well the last one in theory.

OMG, OMG, I hit 48%! Oops, better be carefully, if it hears me, its gonna punish me. I actually hit 36% from 28%. You can thank my team's trident furies for that, as I could not do anything to contribute once my midranger is dead.

So I won a game and had 4 kills. I'm at 50%, but.........it only gave me 2 kills. Funny the kill list in game showed me 4 times on the left side - the killer. WTH, anyone else have this happen? I was shorted a kill a few days ago

I was at 62% for a while. A spate of really bad match-ups and several of my team-mates ditching each time has left me with 48%.
I was proud of that 62%. :-(

I logged off last night at 66% after I took a loss with 10/10+ bots all around. I'll log back in tonight, fire up the camper, and try to keep my damage below 200k for a bit. For me it seems that with a mixed level 6 to 7 (bots and weapons) hangar that the magic number to see hangars like mine caps at roughly a 300k average damage. So, I watch my average damage and when it breaks 300k I brace myself for the gold clubbers that need a bump with sub 45% win rates. Oddly enough, these days, great wins are when I get some Au for capping and my damage is sub 200k, because that keeps me in an equal equipment tier. *shakes head* That's not right.. Edited to add hangar pic.

So I tossed in 3 Galahads-plasma, a Carnage-thunder, and a Rog-taran into my hangar yesterday. Got both dailies done. Got one of today's, and half of the other. Then I got the small down, and down to 44 it is. Must have been my love of head hunting. Oh well, back to heavies.

My hangar is only a little lower in its numbers than yours, so maybe keeping my average damage within that range will see my matches even out a little.

Same problem, but lets me get to about 62% Then the 10,11,12 arrive. But if its based on damage then why don't I just meet same weapons and bot strength with the same damage as me or higher damage than me, or even weapons and bots 1 level higher than me. Why does the MM just over power my hangar? <snip> <snip> I hit 62-64% win rate these days and my hangar that is mixed 6 and 7 bots/weapons is dropped in with 9/10, or higher hangers across both teams. <snip> I'm just trying to get a 9/9+ setup, so i can start moving past the MM penalties. It is what it is. It doesn't get any better. I'm 9 mil away in weapon upgrades to a four hanger with 9/9s. It's like a cheesy 80s movie, I am a generic bad guy unloading at the hero like crazy and he shoots my mech once in the trunk causing it to explode.

Removing upgrades would free up a lot of silver and gold, I could see pixo increasing costs for bots, weaps, and maybe even repairs if they do so. Another way to make up for the deficit would be to make more skins, make them cheaper, and/or make them RM only. This worked for CS:GO and TF2. And another option would be to give premium more privileges. would love to see more privileges for premiums, I know that silver is important but at this point it doesn't seem worth it for me

Step 1 for fixing the issue is simple: display our calculated player power.
Currently we see, and therefore rank ourselves, by win percentage. A loss isn't even a loss- if you go down like the last warrior from Thermopylae you get penalized with harder matches, while 10 second quitters get rewarded. In this world the new matchmaker is worse than a zero sum game.
Instead:
Take win percentage away and display (and reward) player power instead. Suddenly quitters get justifiably slammed while going down in a blaze of glory gets what's deserved.
Hopefully that change takes place soon, because I suspect it will go a long way to righting the current wrong. Showing tankers up for the cowards they are would be a nice bonus.

Same here, 7/8/9 bots, your average damage climbs over 400k and you start meeting some 10/10s and higher. Then you get decimated a few games in a row and this drops your average damage to really low and makes you look like a tanker. Between this artificial damage based MM ceiling and tankers who seem to show up in almost every game, you start getting an annoying experience. Worse, you're also part of the problem. When my damage dropped to 300k, I start seeing 6/5 heavies which get decimated by me.
The new damage based MM needs some ironing for the creases to disappear.

My winning % see saws wildly, between low 60's and high 40's.
I'm currently on an upward trend in win %, at 58. My damage is around 380k. The last time I passed through 58% while still on the way up (before MM got mean) my damage was at 460k.
If anything my matches are tougher now, in terms of more maxed opponents.
It's not based purely on avg damage, it can't be.

Uhmm, I´ve been constantly 60 - 70% Victory rate with a constant 5 - 10 Gold per match influx; sure before the matchmaking I was around 80 to 90%; yet, I can´t really complain, game is good with me...

For about 4 hours. I trust it will return however, and it is good for the game.

Really takes the fun out. But hey, on the bright side there are plenty of forum members that will tell us we are wrong, man up, quit whining, etc. Nevermind the increasing amount of unhappy pilots. Its denial. Blind devotion to a company that is not loyal to loyal customers. Not dropping anymore coin till they get their crap stowed Seen a lot of that too. I think that those berating us are either the TT players who are enjoying the benefits of the new mm, or those who just aren't experiencing these crushing losses game after game.

Ah, another one of those threads. Haven't had one in, ahem, well, hours? What is wrong with the dozens, that already exist? Not good enough? Really need a new thread for the same old story? Maybe consider that they may be new to the forum, and just haven't read the plethera of related threads that you have. Or maybe they are so frustrated with the game that venting in the rants section allows them a release and a sense of community that encourages them to continue to play. Either way, here you are, reading another thread for the same old story...and taking the time to post, too.

Why don't you post this response for the 1000th+ thread on whether to buy a bot, or the 5th slot? Far, far more repetitive posts on these forums than this topic.

Still getting stuck with boat anchors. New low for a teammate. This was with me plus other randoms against a nearly full squad. Thanks for the help...
