Talent Gear Score?

The current anti seal clubbing method for events causes problems for players with unbalanced gear, generally one or two items being much stronger than the rest. It'd probably be harder to seal club if your talents were worth gear score as well. I mean, my blast cannon gets a 75% damage boost from talents. That deserves gear score because a noob and pro with the same blast cannon will have a huge disparity in damage AND skill. This doesn't sit right with me at all, and implementing this should solve the issue much better than equipping underleveled items to avoid being punished for equipping underleveled items (I know, it sounds stupid but that's literally what people are telling me to do).

The system is simple. Talents add gear score value to those items/ships affected by the talent. For example, a 10% damage boost for EX cannon should give all of your EX cannons a boost in gear score, or a 5% hp boost for all ships should give all of your ships a boost in gear score. The amount of gear score to be added can be shown on the talents description with a yellow number in the corner. Which item/ship will have its gear score affected should be pretty obvious.

Taking one step at a time towards a balanced bay.

 

It's been a while since I posted this, but here was my idea. No one bothered to reply.

Similar to your idea.

 

There might not be enough weight to the training, then. I have a mini account and during the 1v1 event, half of the players with the same level gear as me were doing like 2x more damage than me per shot and had thousands more hp. These players had one thing in common: they were much higher level than my mini, aka more talents.

 

I already discussed this thing with devs 3 4 days ago for very long time. But there are so many issues to balance out the actual thing. Like some weapons have just 3 4 talents some have 20. How are we going to balance them. I even suggested to normalise the cooldowns that is flat 11.1 sec and then give GS so T4E standard cannon ≠ T4E Explosive cannon.

 

I'm not sure balancing matters as much as you think. Gear Score for Red items can be based on DPS, healing items can be based on HPS, Shields based on HP, all of which already incorporate training and perks. That's 75% of the problem solved, and a sliding GS scale can be used for the rest.

 

I know it won't be easy but we can't just sit back and pretend those huge disparities don't exist. Even using the same weapons as someone else, having a few crew talents for your gear can make it seem like your gear is actually 2~3 tiers higher than theirs. It really makes that big of a difference.

 

Who said the devs are sitting back, mate? They are constantly trying to find solutions for every possible scenario how and what should be adjusted to stop the exploitation of current system. It takes time, considerable amount of time to make it failsafe.

 

Ye I know they work hard, I'm just really adamant on pressing this matter because I can see that many others are having the same issue, both on forums and discord. Don't misinterpret this as me badmouthing the devs or anything, I have respect for them, I still love Battle Bay lol.
