I have been fighting a level 33 guy and I am level 32, AND HE GOES FIRST!!!! So not only are the guys who get 2-moves instead of 1 getting over, now it doesn't even matter if u r a higher level then me! AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. and don't even recomend a new account, to much time in this one to start over from 0!

go to my replays and check me out fighting 1982l and u will see what I mean

I have had these issues to , its very annoying.

I would guess weapon level but I'm unsure.

i had the same things happening. i did some testing. its your weapon level. even though your level 32 your weapons may be a higher level than his are.. in all honesty just make a mech that is level 30. you get 2 starting points against a lvl 32. all he gets is +5 damage maybe a total of +10 damage a round? you can do 50-100+ damage in the first round. would take 5+ rounds for him to catch up. i havent found a reason to upgrade my weapons and mech. i have a full legendary lvl 33 mech with everything lvl 8-10 on it. but a lvl 30 with basic gear who goes first has a very good chance at winning because they get 2 moves. so thats why you see me playing a lvl 30 mech with no upgraded gear. or if i have upgraded gear then its only upgraded to lvl 29 so i stay at lvl 30

But that doesn't make any seance, concerning the weapon lv. because they are still only up to your final lv. Correct me if I am wrong, but If I had a weapon that was a lv 35 say, my fighting lv would be set at that number. The highest lv equipment determines, the final lv. No? So I am still one lv below this guy and he is going first? It just doesn't make seance.

Again I am unsure about this but I believe that the level of the weapons does not show in your matchmaking level. It affects it but it does not show. Just to be clear I am not completely sure this is the case but this is what I believe is happening. One sure way to find out is to take off your highest level item and see if the same still happens.

I havent been on for awhile im kind of angry and not playing, im really pissed at the devs , i spent money around 60-80 dollars on this game then a few days later they completly nerf the new weapons i bought and make new versions, now my mech is crap and i dnt want to play , also this match making (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..) is still going on , use your friggen brains and just extend the max level caps to be even with weapon and body levels. If done right lvl 50 mechs will now exist and all weapons and parts at max level will make your mech level 50. Doesnt seem that hard to me, either way im not playing or spending another dollar or second on this game till its fixed.
