So I grab my Huntsman PA I been saving for S7 and umm So far I have fought All assaults Annihilators and the sort umm is it not based on weight divisions

[DrCyanide]

Yup, they mentioned that from the get-go. It's based on how evenly they think certain mechs will be against each other. Variants of the same mech can even be split across different divisions.

PGI will rearrange mechs at the end of the season, no doubt. Meanwhile change your mech.

This is ********! the matches should be balanced by weight class. There is nothing even remotely fair about going up against a King Crab in a medium mech....

And to think I was looking forward to this mode.

They definitely could have done better. They claim to have talked to veterans of 1v1 and people knowledgeable about game mechanics, yet on day 1 in every single tier there seems to be one mech that dominates and definitely shouldn't even be in there. Weight class really doesn't mean much because there truly are mechs of lower weight that will stomp higher weights given a skilled pilot.

For instance the Treb or even YLW in tier 7. These are supposed to be the worst mechs in the game but you can pop on an MRM40 and go to town. Should have been a test before this ever went live to weed out the nonsense.

Same problem here, i grabbed my huntsman and got all amped up.

HOWEVER, in div 3 my MLX-G seems to repeatedly stomp assaults.

It really is about skill level, they just need to sort out the kinks.

[mistlynx4life]

MLX-G is Div2 but yeah, it takes a while against the Assaults who back up to a wall and refuse to engage but even then it's very possible. I sort of gave up simply because I was getting more matches that way. It's the smart move, don't misunderstand me, it just makes for a boring match. I've had some great opponents who didn't do that and still managed a Tie or Win and, frankly, I don't mind losing to someone who's willing to dance with me, lol.

That said, I've also pinged Assaults to death with a single ERPPC. Takes heck-tons of patience and time but it can be done.

Solaris seems dead now, at least in DIV 6, I guess the "new shiny" has worn off and it was not the big hit that everyone thought it would be. I still try to get a match or two each day, but usually it takes 10x longer than the match itself just to find an opponent. Also, out of the last five matches that I was able to get only one player had stats that were evenly matched with mine and the other four were just people playing in DIV 6 for the first or second time and the matches were obviously very one-sided (I won of course). I guess it would be a good time for PGI just to put Solaris in "maintenance mode" and to focus on making FP more appealing.
