Sooo, did y'all LIE about the event matchmaking or just change it without telling us?

Because I (full rares except two not-maxed epics) and sure as shit not getting matched on the basis of my ship's power level when the enemy team has multiple people with ful epics and at least one, often more, legendaries.

 

They have other low level gear to make up for it.

 

Just checked my battle record to see if you're right.
Game 1 Enemies:
-Shooter with Epic lvl 40 Sniper, Epic lvl 40 Ex Cannon, Rare level 40 swift torpedo, LEGENDARY level 9 fire bomb, Rare level 40 big torp, level 40 Rares turbo, bandaid, big shield

Sooo... I have doubts.

 

I bet they are stupid. That way it all balances out.

I often carry my team because most people here in MK3 ( I only have mk4 speeder) are worse at the game than a T-Rex trying to play the game with an iPad that's on the ground.

 

I was talking gearscore...
Nice research btw.

 

Okay then I obviously don't get how the fuck gearscore works, then. Because they all had significantly better gear than I did.

 

Wow so much information........ *fainted from too much information* Alright enough with the joking around, I agree with this sometimes the match isnt balanced at all because higher up ships abuse the team deathmatch matchmaking by lowering their gear score. So if their gear score is close to yours, you are pretty much screwed most of the time.

 

No no. That's not how this should work. The playerbase being fucking incompetent is how I got decently high infamy with nothing but rares. THIS game mode was supposed to match you based on your ship's power, ie gear. But it's the same old shit, me with my rares versus a team full of epics and legendaries.

 

Okay, please explain how the fuck you can lower gearscore with a full loadout of epics/legendaries. I am obviously missing some core concept.

 

remove some of your good items replace it with commons. Thats one way. The strategy to is lower it to like 5000 but still have good items left over.

 

So level 40/50 RARES count as "commons"? because that's about as low as most of them got.

 

I mean i guess its different higher up or something. From the information you're saying, It seems like your team and enemy team have like a 1000 gear score difference which is pretty normal.

 

Also, sounds balanced to me, legys are worse than t4E and slightly better than t5R.

Right... Lets see. (I don't have time to compare all the gear, so match one)
You: Rare lvl 50 sniper
Unfriends: Epic lvl 40 Sniper (slightly better) Rare lvl 50 lrm (same) Rare lvl 50 ex cannon (same) Rare lvl 50 mine (same) Rare lvl 50 big shield (same)
You: Epic lvl 40 reg cannon
Unfriends: Epic lvl 40 Ex Cannon (same) Epic lvl 40 ex cannon (same) Epic lvl 40 fire bomb (same) Epic lvl 40 blast cannon (same) Epic lvl 40 turbo (same)
You: Rare lvl 50 ex cannon
Unfriends: legy level 9 fire bomb (better by about 10 levels worth, not much) legendary lvl 3 blast cannon (SLIGHTLY better) Epic lvl 40 big shield (slightly better) Rare lvl 50 fire bomb (same) Rare lvl 50 big berta (same)
You: Rare lvl 40 big shield
Unfriends: Rare level 40 swift torpedo (same) level 30 epic turbo (slightly better) Epic lvl 30 bandaid (slightly better) and I don't have time for the rest, but you see where I'm going.

 

I honestly don't see the difference between your team items and the enemy items. It seems pretty close. The gear score was meant to be close which in this case is. Its not like it happens every game.
