Supermechs is a great game. But like others, the developers policy of selling in-game power will destroy it sooner than later
I hope this topic serves for everyone to post their protest voice
Anygame that pretends to monetize through selling power is doing:
- Including quite unsurpassable differences in chances to win
- So creating a hardcore and money wasting group while exploiting the rest for farming
- Telling players that the only way to get to high ranking (3,2 and specially 1) is buy pouring money in them
- So most of people, like me, will play it for fun some time and then leave because there is no future for free players
In my recent gaming history, i liked it instantly, played and climbed to rank 5 quite fast, then 4. At this point i realized mythical weapons, and i realized that it was way unfairly to beat them. I had decided to leave at rank 3 because i knew top ranks were only for paying players.
Not long ago they changed campaing mode, with a mythical item at the end as a reward. I got it, my only one, a Metrolens Torso. It quite helped me and with it, and i think only possible with, it i reached ranked 1 and a can sort of keep myself there. Yet it is discouraging to know that being matched with someone with 2-3+ mythical items is almost AUTO-losing.
Someone can beat a person with mythical items because strategy, other weapons, kits, landfield, etc. matter but most of times mythicals are decisive. And if you get one, someone with 2 will have a decisive edge.
So, following other forums, the game shall choose one of these:
- Completely separate playing and matchmaking in free and paying members
- Eliminate completely power selling
- Or at least make mythical items really accesible to free players (top clan rewards are unaccesible for those without them beforehand)
Otherwise this game will last little. As i am sure their statistics already show
The real problem is the mythicals, there will be more mythicals than legendaries if we keep going at this rate.. ~.~
Now there are a few people who I know spent thousand to max level their gear but so what? I've beaten many of them lots of times with just a unique strategy or so. The best way to shine, is to play alot and get lots of wins. The top 3 clan are looking for people who can churn out 500 wins weeklys.
Spending Money on Power is not worth it. =) The most bang for your buck is Premium for a month.
I haven't spent a dime on power kits and I already have a few Max level items. I have 3 and I'm working on 4th. Btw it's 537,600/537,600 to reach max level.
