New ways to keep new players down

How  does  everyone  feel  about  the  new  rewards  values?  I  dont  like  them  and  if  you  agree  lift  your  voices!  The  A  Coins  are  gone  from  the  challenges  and  severely  curbed  in  the  tourneys.  They  were  the  main  reason  I  participated in  both.  That  incentive  now  a  fading  memory  has  caused  me  to  reevaluate  my  willingness  to  invest  time  and  money  in  a  game  of  diminishing  returns.  Anyone  willing  to   compare  the  old  numbers  to  the  new  and  do  the  math  will  see  your  future  here  is  bleak.  Now  without  the  expenditure  of  real  cash  youll  be  looking  at  a  6  to  8  weeks  for  an  advanced  mech  upgrade  and  a  lot  longer  if  youre  saving  up  to  purchase  those  carbines.  The  developers  have  make  a  horrible  mistake.  Mech  Arena,  under  This  new  predatory  model  just  isnt  worth  the  time  and  effort  it  now  takes  to  move  ahead.

The current model is not set in stone.  The Dev team is experimenting with different rewards to see how they effect the rate of progression and player engagement.

On Discord there is a Suggestion-Vote topic on this already.  Cast your vote there.

----------

I think whether it is successful or not really depends on what it is substitued with.  There are games out there that unlock all the content once you hit a certain point and others were you have to grind for them.  Both have pros and cons.

If everything is given to you then there is not a sense of reward or accomplishment versus when you have worked towards a goal .  However, making that goal to difficult to obtain or requiring too long a time can cause people to give up before they even begin or attempt it.

The key is striking a balance of progression as well as accomplishment/reward.

Ok  Rescue  tried  repeatedly  to  go  to  discord  and  its  such  a  hassle  kept  getting  kicked  out  wouldnt  let  me  register  anew  and  wouldnt  let  me  n  to  my  existing  acc.  You  know  how  I  feel  I  just  cant  go  there  and  vote.  If  you  want  to  have  a  platform  make  sure  it  works  and  dont  make  it  so  convoluted  that  it  becomes  an  anchor.  Why  dont  you  just  tie  it  to  the  forum  and  be  done  with  it?  Why  reinvent  the  wheel,  you  techies  are  such  something  I  dont  want  to  say.    I  am  flat  freaking  aggravated  i  wasted  fifteen  minutes  on  this  #&$@  already  and  Im  done!

6ULDV8-- 

Bro... Rescue tried to help. It is really easy to become quick-tempered with people. Take some time away maybe. 

Remember, at the end of the day, this game is all on your phone, its not real life, its just a silly robot game. People on the other hand are incredibly important, and we should treat them with respect, just like we want to be treated. Our relationships are what really matter in life. :))

Sorry to hear 6ULDV8.  I know you are not alone in your opinion of the rewards and A-Coins. There were some great things about this recent update and some things that are still being worked on.  I have had this conversation somewhat often recently so I get it.

For now be patient and know that again this is an experiment.  Things are still going to be released and some things will be changed but it can't all happen at once (mainly because it is hard to fix bugs).

If I get an update I will let you know as well in here.

I am sure as more people discover the game the forums will grow seeking advice, guides, etc.  There is a lot of content on Discord and Youtube and that will transition over to other mediums as well.

I haven't seen Zephyr as often anymore.  When I look at other players hangers he is there but rarely do they use him.  I think he falls into the, "if I lose my main mech," category I will bring him out.

For those who are not aware already, the rewards for A-Coins in tournaments will be reversed.

Also next patch will have new content: new mech, new weapon, and more!
