    Jeez, cool it. A lot of us aren't that good. I say that eventhough I got my mk4 to Ace recently.
    But what I have noticed is that mk5s are not glorious. Everyone might disagree but all I have got from mk5s is disappointment and infamy loss. Plus the extra mk makes matchmaking harder for you.

    All of a sudden I'm not sure I know what a kite is. Does it have a meaning in Battle Bay besides "quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides congruent and one diagonal bisecting the other"?

    Yes, a lot of the players would have signed up around global launch. These players are continuing to evolve and many are now reaching Mk6.

    The statistical average Mark of boats has to be reaching a higher level than ever before, and so this is contributing to increased difficulty for new players. The average level of equipment needed to reach certain infamy levels is getting higher and higher.

    Whilst many people are stating that skill is not important , I would argue that because more and more players are reaching that fully completed training levels, and full set of T5E’s, that skill is becoming even more decisive than ever. Those high level players that don’t increase their skill levels will find themselves overtaken by these upcoming players.

    Skill is not just about shooting accuracy; it’s about map control, ability to understand the ebb and flow of a battle and the ability to work in a team etc. Whilst many of the BB legends of today are well known, the legends (and e-sport players) of tomorrow could look very different and be still upcoming players at this point.

    NB: I am not including myself in the legends of tomorrow’ category, I know my limitations.

    Getting BattleBay ready for E-Sport:

    New E-Sport Game Lobby
    Equalized Weapons and Ships (T5 Epics and MK6 Ships, Plus access to all EPIC Perks)
    Captain Training is the same for everyone
    Lobby for Equalized Mode Open Wednesday thru Saturdays
    Developers Need to Make Money, so access to this game mode should be subscription-based(bought with Cash or Pearls). And possibly create a new "VIP Plus" which includes lobby access.
    New Equalized Infamy Ladder Created(with your Equalized infamy shown on your profile)
    5v5 Mode only
    20% lower weapons cooldowns and global cooldown
    20% higher speed, agility and turret speed
    Ships Can be customized with skins through Pearl Purchases
    Weapon loadouts are always saved
    Matchmaking is based on infamy only and never resets
    Online leader board for top players(and top players in each country)
    No Gold/Sugar rewards given
    Damage/Healing will not count for quests or achievements
    ------------------------------
    This mode basically creates a brand new game, which would be esport friendly, but if done correctly it could be integrated seamlessly with the Normal Ranked Infamy mode so that players will still want to play both modes. Since this mode doesn't offer any rewards and only be open for certain days of the week, players would still be playing the normal ranked battles.

    Y'know what... I freaking love this idea! It's pretty much how I would imagine BB in an e-sport model. If this was implemented, it would open the floor to everyone who fancies having a go!

    I didn't think that it was enough of a game to make it as a e-sport.:eek:

    You know, that thing in games where you draw an opponent's attention to guide them right into a trap?

    Well, look. Mk5 is a very powerful upgrade that radically changes your ship. Okay. Sure. It takes time to get up there in infamy.
    Mk5s ARE glorious. Mk5 shooter compared to mk4 shooter is just crazy good. Mk5 defender is SO TANKY compared to mk4 defender! Mk5 enfo is a gamechanger compared to mk4 enforcer. And mk5 speeder? Mk5 is where speeder becomes speeder. Same for fixer.

    I can agree to the fact that it will take time for one to go above 1700 in a mk5, however, it is not impossible, or even hard in any way. Give me all t3-t4 rares, I'll still get to Ace 2 at least in a mk5. If people cannot do it with tiered epics, it is THEIR FAULT for being less skilled, not MY HIGH SKILL. Btw I'm not even that skilled lol
