I must start by saying that Battle Bay is a pretty awesome game! However, it is hugely flawed. I've been playing since May 2017 and I've been grinding hard and on a daily basis. After 16,000 battles, unfortunately I'm beginning to lose interest. When I ask myself why, here's what I come up with......
After 16,000 batteles.......
1. I find there is absolutely no reward system for dedicated gamers. Aside from a few uncommon and common parts, power cells and the occasional common item...whats the point? I'm in Ace league division one. Do we really think I'm excited to open the game each day to receive a common item, parts or power cells? On top of that, there's the daily star crates. I can't help but laugh, but they too are jammed with common & uncommon materials. How many Nightmare players are playing with common and uncommon items? Yup..... I'm in Ace league and we face Nightmare league opponents in Mk7 ships with legendary items everywhere. Hence the title of the post.
2. Matchmaking System - I dont know how the matchmaking is done, but it is terrible at this level. After one of the previous updates, this issue seemed to have been addressed, but not so much. Once a player reaches around 2700 - 2800 infamy, prepared to be thrown into battles against players with 3500 infamy and sometimes higher. Once again, hence the title to the post.
3. Legendary Items - I feel like I have a better chance at hitting the lottery than finding a legendary weapon in this game. Again, I can't help but laugh, but 16,000 battles and I've found 9 legendary pieces, and they aren't even of the same category. I have 3 blues, 3 yellows and 3 reds. Seriously? When I recommend Battle Bay to other gamers, should I leave this part out? Should I tell them that they need to play 30,000 battles before they get a legendary item? It truly sucks to see plyers with 4 legendary items and they've only played 3,000 battles in comparison to my 16,000 and I have none. I understand the concept of being profitable. However, most people can't afford to pay to play a game. Perhaps a matchmaking system where spenders play with spenders, and not against people who can't afford to spend should be considered. I'm sure that doesn't work, because I'm sure the spenders don't make up the majority of Battle Bay players. The next option would be to find a middle ground to satisfy both types of players.
Ultimately, after 16,000 battles and daily play for 7 months, Im tired of getting my butt handed to me by someone who has played 3,000 battles, but has deeper pockets than me. What was once fun has become more of a frustration when I log in. The daily calendar is depressing to look at until the end of the week. The guild raffle was awesome, but then you guys did an update and now the common power cells are what we receive most. Reason being.... "it wasn't good for the Battle Bay economy" is what we were told. Im sure you guys arent letting people advertise for free on Battle Bay, or are you? You guys even snuck in some longer adds to make us watch, so I'm sure the Battle Bay economy is not drowning. Again, awesome game, but with difficult flaws to overlook. However, it might be perfect if one has thousands to spend on it.
