Here my 2 cents to help new player like the game.
This is a game of skill, but i understand that not everyone have the play time or patience to get in the game fully.
The trial mechs are fine and any experience pilot can can hold the line with it. But a new player fighting fonders premade can have a bad first, second and third experience and quit as a result.
My solution: A real trial period (10-15 fights) (optional)
- Give every new player a special newbie mech with limited customization that is wiped after trial.
- Give every new player 1 000 000 CB to customize and that is wiped after trial.
- Give every new player 5000 xp to try the xp system that is wiped after trial.
- After trial give some kind of perk or tag to mean that the player had done the trial.
- Match trial player first with themselves if possible if not then use the global pool.
- Only one trial per account.
Great game !!! thank you !!!
