If this ends the whole one-shot meta, I'm definitely for it...
...As long as it's reasonable for f2p
that last part is the main concern lol
i wholeheartedly agree
I agree, but it won’t. Nothing is anymore (for F2P)
Correction: Eclipse is 14 months old
lmao nice. they going for a record with this one, ey?
@@RuFFlesGamingI messaged support about a month ago asking “what gives?” They gave me an answer but I didn’t leave the conversation any less confused. So I just told them it was reminding me of war robots and if I wanted to play war robots I would play war robots.
Feature creep is also reminding me of war robots. You say it’s just something very basic these games have. I mean sure if the only mech games you ever played are mobile games. We all know what it really is. It’s more stuff to pay for.
My prediction is this will have similar negative effects to the pilots update. Not just there being a clear META. The gaps in power between spending brackets will be more pronounced. SP droppers have yet more power on their strong mech.
I think we can all agree we need more weekly acoins and more ways to get acoins
Yes, yes we can
You do 200 every 5 days, complete your weekly objectives
@@MyDrifttThat aint shit when everything in your hangar, and everything else you may want to use that just sit in your hangar, and everything you want to purchace, all require A coins. And a fuckin lot of them.😑
it is a thing that all players agree with, but plarium still won't do it
@@Destroyer2.0MechArena agreed
What I hope the mods are is attachment type things, like a little personal shield you get at the start of the game, like some extra hp or a zoom or thermal scope for cooler aiming, or even some thing like a deployable drone to counter campers or satellite dishes that can give you all enemy locations for a brief amount of time and counter stealth
I think it’ll be rather simple. The mechanics required for most of what you’re suggesting are HUGE (though I do agree that they would be interesting). I’d expect it to be REALLY simple. Things like HP & Speed boosts.
oh no, here we go. I can already tell the whales will go CRAZY.
Lmao
yep
Banger of a video, looking forward ro see what mods have to offer!
same. I def overreacted after Grade Update, so i'll be sure to take my time with this before jumping to any final conclusions
Feature idea: a report button for tankers / so droppers, and when reported they’ll be matched with people of the level of the mech they’re tanking with
Great video! I appreciate you pointing out the need for more survivability and differences between PC/mobile in reaction time and quick kills, as well as the risk of mods further solidifying meta, like pilots have done. I'm excited to see what these mods are, but it really sucks if we need to spend tons to keep up.. 🤑🥵
yea im excited too tbh. if it makes the game suck then i can always just leave.. lol
@@RuFFlesGaming i don't have any other games i can go to tho, so... i guess i will stick around and keep playing F2P
theres always other games. you play for fun, so if its not fun then why play?
Well Fingers crossed, hope it makes game more fun.
RuFFles is the new Sherlock Holmes's
call me Hemlock Sholmes
@@RuFFlesGamingActually a nice play on words lmfao
@@RuFFlesGaming nice
Can we get a thicc mod for brick house????
even thiccer chungus might break the game ngl
@@RuFFlesGaming exactly 🔥😂
Ill be disappointed if it was just a stat increase, and disappointed is an understatement
I hope this is gona be something that i will call F2p heaven
I would love it if we could customise the ability cooldowns on custom matches and stuff. It would be more custom then
imagine
Thank you for making this video great info, can't wait to see what happens
glad you found it helpful, and yea im excited too tbh
Well, only time will tell.
We’re missing entire categories of pilots too, double health no weapon specific damage, speed no health.
When I saw the promo it looked like map placed temporary power pickups. Extra health on a 30 second timer before you run to centre etc.
idk if those pilot categories were ever going to exist. I'd guess pilots augment damage/abilities/weapons, while mods augment HP/speed, or smth like that
@@RuFFlesGaming my bad I didn’t mean they didn’t implement something that was planned, more of a missed opportunity, we’ll see if mods fill those gaps
missed opportunity fr
I bet it will be dumb crap like HP boost, Speed boosts, etc.
I could see it working like some older RPGs, where you have so many “slots” to upgrade your characters, so you can choose to max out HP, max speed, or balance them out, etc., but can’t simply max every possible spec. This is effectively a built-in Pro/Con system.
On paper that sounds like it would give more diversity in end game hangars, but realistically it’ll end up like it always does, where we figure out which boosts work best for each mech. As an example, I could see eclipse with maxed speed and no HP boost being OP AF and everyone endgame using that, vs some of us choosing an HP boost.
meta will always exist, its just a matter of how badly it beats out the non-meta.
i still doubt the existence of a pro/con system, even if its built-in. they havent really added anything like that before, and i doubt theyll start now
Like what, like a fire-breathing parrot flying behind you?
yes pls lmao
we do need a flamethrower...
They could make the mods mech specific and use blueprints to purchase and upgrade them
0:14 RuFFles recording a RuFFles Sticker
lmao the "uhohruffles" emoji 😂
Glad i returned to mech arena after 1yr lol, lot have changed, but i still miss the good ol days,anyways im both scared and excited in july 18.
"scared and excited" perfectly describes me as well lol
I hope thay atleast add a max hp cap so things doesn't get too crazy
If it can increase health then mechs with dmg resistence would be crazy
Need to allow us to trade in blueprints eventually for some type of credit or legendary blueprint. Even if it's just 1 legendary bp, it's better then the 9000+ medic bps I have and will never use.
an age-old request, one that i still bring up every so often, but they dont seem like theyre interested in adding it
We shall see
Someone follows the steps of its ancestors i suppose
that was a great speech :o
let's hope it took 3 EM shots to reach bastion hp
That would be nice lol
If its modding with drawbacks i like it and wished it was there long ago
But it has to be fair like get more hp but be slower
Could also be same 'mods' we have now but as an item/token that need to be activated when you want it, if plarium is lame ..
When pilots came everyone was oh no the hp too much, now oh no im oneshot 😂 cmon 😂
Implants&skins for credits! Now!
Implants are already for credits. What we want is legendary implants and implant crates to be credits as well. Just a high number like 150k credits so not everyone can spam buy it.
@dudditz agree, tho i find it doubtful that they make them with downsides, based on whats already in the game
@tsrmmercy836 true. the cost isnt so much an issue if you dont even (realistically) have the option to get half of these implants
0:47 my discord pfp appeared ahhh
lol
I feel like rare modules will be in credits
Will the great Chungus make a comeback 😎
Also something that you need to think about, if this does increase our survivability, what will happen to rush mechs? If your not able to quickly kill something to save your ass then, how good are rush mech or close range weapons anymore?
chungus is already the greatest
I will keep voicing my opinion on pilots and implants. It is pointless having implants specific to mech abilities assigned to pilots and not the mech itself. Wasn't an issue with free removal. Mech abilities have nothing to do with pilot specialization. With so many mechs, weapons and events with the need to change it up, you're always going to have missmatched pilots, except for the bots of course.
kinda agree, the way pilots work doesnt make a lot of sense, and most mech-specific implants hold very little value
Like it or not, this game surely inspired by War Robot. If you ever play WR, you know what this mods are, and it's expensive. I'm not surprised if these upcoming mods will have different grade from rare to legendary one. I predict that MA will have Titan and spaceship too in the next future. One module could have one added stats (rare) to three or four (for legendary). I hope I'm wrong tho
Titans and Spaceships would be weird because it wouldn't fit on most maps.
@@Peulut Well, they can create similar to those
like it or not, youre wrong, and every mech game is essentially the same. pilots, modules, maps, hangars... these are all very basic concepts that you draw unnecessary correlation to one specific competitor
@@RuFFlesGaming but how would titans and spaceships fit on maps like those indoor 5vs5 maps?
I have a full epique pilots hangar
Thanks,nice vid,where I was briefly a star, whahaha. Kinda funny seeing your own comments...
Hope it's going to be ok,better,but I fear just another direction in p2w...
Storms,eclips,seeker,vortex,nomad(?),..money...and triple the money 6 moths ago. Meanwhile less resources...
The only thing I bought last months is the Ruffles-pass, whahaha! Very good value!
haha Ruffles Pass
but yea, its very likely that it wont be as accessible as we'd like it to be
I wonder if this is a modifier for each squad slot hanger that you have.
Maybe one modifier that is meant for a slot that a squad is built for. There are 3 Slots., maybe 1 modifier per slot. I have a 2v2/FFA, 5v5, CPC?
very interesting theory
bruh i leave MA for a month and then i see this
F
You're just going to be able to put stickers on your mechs
lmaooo imagine everyone worrying but then the update comes around and they just like "nah, now you can put googly eyes on your juggernaut" or smth
@@RuFFlesGaming lol and they would still cost acoins like it cost just to change your in game name
Pilots boost damage and mods boost defense is that what his saying oh no im already max this July looks like my grinding will start again
its very possible
This is not going to be good. This will cost you resources, possibly a new type of resource you can buy or use acoins to buy, in order to activate a module that you have to buy. I am almost right to where I wanted to be and now I have to consider if I am even going to continue. This is now too much.
Agree, need more survivability. imo, the game is not as fun as 2 years ago. They're messing with it too much.
i think fond memories belong in the past, and making new ones is better than trying to recreate the old ones.
yea it was fun when the game was simpler, but would you still be playing if it stayed that simple over the years? im not convinced that i would, personally.
@@RuFFlesGaming good question. we know the game needs to evolve. but in that case, where are any new cpc maps. at least the financial model is unsustainable for many. by the time you're done buying and maxing a single mech, you're out probably $250.
I just thought..
What about module removal?
rip acoins
Wonder if thell make it only for HP since the meaning of fortify is Armour or it could just be some ridiculous customisation 😅
definitely sounds focused toward HP, but we'll see
The prob that I see is bots are going to get what ever these mod things are max out witch will make the bots more annoying and more powerful than the average player time to worry about rebuilding your account again after that update
bots consistently perform worse than players, so long as thats true then theyre within their right to give bots better stuff.
i mean, devs never said bots were "supposed to be easy," so if they wanna make them as tough as players, then thats a game design choice.
the issue with this is not bots, but tankers and/or spenders who will most likely have a HUGE advantage over other players.
@@RuFFlesGaming your somewhat correct one bot is no issue but multiple bots in cpc with an advantage is an issue its so bad that even kax agree that in cpc the bots decides who wins the match and advantage will only increase am not asking for the bots to be easy just asking for them to be fair in cpc specifically
I have no comment to this lol I just don’t know.
Just more things to feed to the very few whales that still play this game, make everything more unreliable, unequal and p2w to screw over the nonexistent game balance even harder. Instead of addressing how op rails and ems are or SP droppers completely ruining matchmaking especially in tournament.
You realize that theres no free game for you if nobody pays?
@dudditz and I've seen COUNTLESS f2p players who are as strong as p2w it's all a matter of dedication and grinding, but literally as you said if ppl weren't paying WE WOULDN'T HAVE A GAME
@@MyDriftt definitely, skill cant be bought
They keep releasing all this stuff because there are still many of us paying for it.
they certainly want to make money from the game. that in itself is not a bad thing, but i agree that if it comes at the cost of addressing huge issues like tanking, then thats a problem.
personally i dont find the game balance to be terrible overall. no, you certainly wont be able to play competitively unless you have the top meta stuff, but is that surprising..? As someone who uses subpar builds regularly, im surprised at how reliable most of them are. the issue is in the "paid-only" aspect of certain meta items, not so much the meta balance itself imo
So like I’ve been saying since pilots mechs no longer have enough health now we’re paying to get the health every mech in the game desperately needs.
Even if this is not going to be bad for f2p and not going to be a “create a problem and sell the solution”, I’m not happy about feature creep. You say pilots and modules are things in games like this. That just means the devs lack creativity. But that’s obvious from the host of dupli-mechs
i think you could infer a lack of creativity from other areas of the game too tbh.
anyway, i support "feature creep" in mobile games. smth has to change every so often to keep it interesting, especially in mobile games that typically start off very basic (as opposed to console games which typically release fully developed). How that feature creep is dealt with, is a different issue, but you can only do so much with just mechs/weapons.
This might be second "great update" kind of stuff, but its concerning that this option will be available for P2W players only. F2P already suffer alot, do devs rly want to delete all F2P from the game completely?
Maybe this is actually the way for fighting against SP droppers, because SP droppers are mostly F2P players who dont spend tons of money on buying in-game resources.
we dont *KNOW* that its available for spenders only, thats just a very real possibility that i wanted to bring attention to. No details have been made public, so until they are its best to only speculate, and not come to final conclusions
@@RuFFlesGaming I really hope that this will be a good change and that all kind of players will benefit, not only P2W.
if it's just another add-in to increase stats, like a pilot, then what the hell... another money-grab?
if i had to guess, thats pretty much it, yea
Did I mention that bots are going to have these things at a higher level or quality than the players ya so all players with imbalance accounts get f by bots
thats already the case with bots having better mechs/weapons/pilots
hope its not as bad as we thinkin dam this would suck the game already got many issues to fix yes they gave us balls for credits and baron n galv ecr but please dont f it up that fast
Basically unable to milk more moola (💸) from people who have mechs, weapons and pilots maxed so introducing a new system to milk....aka our new cash cow.....haha no offense LoL
you just calling it how you see it, no offense taken lol.
Heeyyyy im in the video
lol say hi to yourself ;)
@@RuFFlesGaming LOL will do pretty hyped for the mods coming up this week hopefully it's not like the pilots of 2021
I am gonna make every mech thicccc
truly a goal worth striving for
It's all a cash grab. I urge all whales and content creators to be careful about buying and endorsing this new feature before we fully understand its implications
tbf i havent endorsed anything besides the Battle Pass and certain Holiday Offers, bc those remain to be the only purchases that actually give their money's worth imo
ruffle your voice is too low ;-;
ik i went through it a bit after to try and equalize the volume, but it still wasnt great.. sorry
Another money grab
I don’t like the sound of these mods
