Poll: Should there be a minimum infamy for each Mk?

I'd propose to merge our two ideas. Gear score is a better measure of ship power than MK.

Resetting player infamy to a minimum level each season alleviates some of the pressures of the upper end infamy loss at the end of each season. The basis of a reset up could be a combination of ship MK and gear score.

Gear score alone could be manipulated by unscrupulous players to take advantage of the reset each season so perhaps there is a balance somewhere.

 

Gear score does not take crew training in account...

 

A player could change there gear scores by changing there items when the reset happens.

 

Ah damnit this can of worms again. I guess it's my fault for bringing up the nightmare reset again. I agree that it hurts new players. By introducing infamy in levels other than just the bot battles the infamy reset becomes more justifiable.

Do you think it would be suitable for players to climb infamy with no end? You'd have the highest level nightmare players pushing 10k infamy and beyond within a month. This hearkens back to the inflation argument.

Maybe they should let the infamy climb and seasonally adjust the amount of infamy needed for each league. Eventually we'd all be Master 3 as the top 1% accumulate 66% of the infamy pulling the Ace league and Nightmare league further and further up.

 

Kind of but two items with the same gear score could have a huge performance gap between them. I'd hate to see gear score being part of matchmaking, those players that use multiple boats would be harmed.

 

mk6 only gets 20%hp or less then mk5, what really matters is weapon level, lv40 epic mk5 will rekket lv40 rare mk6 with 50% more firepower

 

That could work

I was actually talking about the same item. You can have 50% more damage on an explosive than on another depending on your bhurt choices, it happens more with those who use more than one boat because it's not usual to equip a 2 slot point weapon on an enforcer while is totally awesome to put one or two of them on a defender
But your point is also relevant.

 

Since you have one infamy and can have 5 different MK levels there's no way to equate the two together until all boats are leveled at once. That is the required prerequisite to this discussion.

 

Yes. Since a long time ago.

 

Hmm... but then all the people who are noob for their level will clog up the minimum infamy point and cause other people there to have to continuously fight in noob battles unless they get good or drop. e.g. Assuming the minimum infamy of mk5 is 1000, a pro mk3 who just hit 1000 would have to face mk5s doing stupid things; and the 'difficulty level' of the match may even be lower than at <1000 infamy. However he can't get high enough to get out of the range so he has to either DEAL WITH IT or drop. This situation would also happen with the minimum infamy level of every mk level, so everyone would have to go through this at least 6 times to get to above mk7 range... So although this idea seems great there are still a couple of flaws in it!
