I refuse to play if i can't select the mech i want

[Gokki]

Unfortunately, because i can't leave the match and i can't lock my mech, the game swaps my mech for another at random at the start of mech pick phase, making me unable to select the one i want.

And since i can't leave the match i'm just going to afk the whole thing, but this leads into me getting a credit penalty.

Please fix the game, either let me play with the mech i want or let me leave so someone else can backfill.

You can lock your mech. It's the button right above the one you click to start matchmaking.

you deserve to be penalised then till your no longer able to play the game.

once you it 60 or so credit people wont have to deal with you

And hopefully it leads to a ban penalty with enough reporting. :)

Once you enter the lobby just hit ready before anyone else does. Bottom right.

In the Hanger screen, right above the "Strike" button, there is a button that says "Set Default Strikers".

Yeah i'm using but still changes to another striker at the start and making me unable to switch mack. it does't lock anything, it's just a pre-selection

That opens a menu letting you select which Strikers you want priority for. If you only have one checked off in that list, you always have that one selected when you join a match.

And it will keep doing that until you actually hit ready before the others do. Its first come first served.

Bruh, stop being picky and petty. Play all the roles/mech and get better, b/c at this point it just sounds like your trash at every other mech...

It literally has nothing to do with this. It's all in the Default Strikers setup. Otherwise if two people have the same mech picked it's whoever has only that as priority or random.

I see it all the time: the mech I lock in in Default Strikers is piloted by someone else on the splash and before the screen even loads they're shunted to another mech. (Edit: And only once the other way around because I didn't have my Default Strikers set up properly and I now do.)

For those struggling with this issue: make sure you set your Default Striker for all different game modes you are playing. Each mode and it's submodes have their own selections. The game does tell you though that narrowing your striker selection will impact matchmaking.

Nope, you literally load first and hit ready first for your mech and you have the mech you want. Doesn't matter what you have or don't have in default striker if you hit ready on your mech before anyone else does. They can't select it if you're ready. The only time the game changes my mech is if someone hit ready on it before me, which is rare since I load first most of the time.

I suppose it's not fair for others, I'll just not play. I only unlocked a few mechs and I don't like them apart from two of them. Hope the matching will let me queue up with the mechs i want.

I would even leave the match to allow someone to backfill at the start but I'm not able to.
