For real, because I’m tired of asking a game like this should have strong comms, in the past it’s always been the “moderation issue” but that can be mitigated with AI the real question is are the devs actually planning to add better comms options or is it just not going to be a thing, cuz I’ll just stop asking then because I’m a social player type and with comms it boosts the experience even if there are some toxic players, with more modes coming out having comms should be a must if there’s teamwork involved, I like the game as a past time but if other games that have comms come up it’l easily replace this game I mean it already does, I just play it because I like fighter jets specifically. So can we just get a straight answer from the devs will this be happening or not?

I swear, since the new update has gone live my connection has been shocking, I never, and I mean never, used to have issues with disconnecting mid match or even having the whole game crash mid match but now, it seems like there's a 50/50 chance of it happening. It can't be a WiFi issue on my end because nothing has changed in that respect, I've lowered my graphics in game from the highest settings to one above the lowest and that hasn't solved the issue, it's making the game almost unplayable

Recently, I feel like my metalstorm experience has shifted dramatically. I am consistently getting teammates that are completely selling the game. And it's not like I'm always MVP, I know that I'm not the greatest player ever, but I do go positive almost every match, and these pilots are different. I am getting teammates going 0/6/0, 0/4/0, all the time. Sometimes multiple in the same match. But it seems I never see this on the opposing team. Why is this happening?

At this point, the biggest enemy in Metalstorm isn't even other players anymore, it's your servers.

Every match feels like a coin toss at this point. Am I actually going to get to play, or am I just going to spend the whole game staring at "Reconnecting..."? Ping going high at random times costed me too many trophies,

One more thing,in Air Superiority, the bots on my team are unbelievably bad while the enemy team gets bots that actually know how to play. My bot highest score is 300, and their lowest score is 400. How is that even fair?

The community has been pretty patient for months, but patience doesn't magically fix broken servers,Before you keep adding more content, can we please just have a game that works? A stable connection shouldn't feel like a luxury.

Fix the servers first. Please!!!!!!!!!.

Now, we basically have to rely on squad events. A good squad events can feed my star (gaijin snail reference). For example, a level 12 crate could fetch around 2.6k silver, and 150 points contribute 1k more.

ADDITIONAL: Ik this should go to recuit thread but some squads that do not have lots of trophies but are super active are really good at opening crates, I was with them for a while and got 15+'s almost every time.

Im not good or anything, with a 2-300 trophy count, but then the matchmaking demons put me with this grandmaster with over 30k trophies. I love metalstorm but moments like this are unbearable.

With this latest update, it feels like they’ve just turned this game into “pay to win”.

Now someone who puts a ton of money into the game can totally dominate. I’m so disappointed in this new update.

みなさん味方がいるせいで負けることが多いと思いませんか？そこで提案なんだけど新しく10人全員敵のモードを作りませんか？けっこう楽しいと思うんだけど。味方を介護するのもこのゲームの醍醐味なのかもしれないけどさすがに酷すぎる人が味方だとかなり腹が立ちます。
Starformさんご検討のほどよろしくお願いします。

View Poll

Trying to get the devs attention. Some players cant get on the game for over a day now. Re-install aint fixing it. It's just forever stuck on the loading screen.

A quick note to this group that the devs are reading this sub and we hear your feedback on the economy and the desire for more maps and modes.

Please assured that we do care about you all and want to make the game the best it can be - we’ll share an update on these topics soon.
