Event 7 Reward Requirements and Tips - Dazed and Confused - Matchmaking Help

If only RNG distributed our items that way. My t5 epic blast overpowers all of my other gear, despite the rest of my equipment being t4~t5 rare on average, I'm seeing players with 4k~5k more gear score than my teammate and myself and any other weapon I have is just terrible for my playstyle. I just don't have weapons matching the rest of my gear, so this really ruins the experience for me. Not 100% of battles are this way but it's more than half. I've run into a lot of top players such as Blacktail himself.

 

I think that there are few very good setups

• double bubble
• shooter with flare/fire bomb and full cannons with fire perks
• speeders with tesla bolts (enforcers are imho better with double bubble-if you have it)
• fixers with bolts and box/tape/pulse for self healing
• speeders with frost+torp/mortar combo are good
• defenders with normal setups (carronades, cannons etc.)

I use shooter with flare+double blast+ex cannon/big torpedo

it's slow af but also tanky enough to survive till the end of the battle

 

you sure it's really working in wanted way?

this guy got matched with mk4 ships, what do you think that happened? he kicked our asses without some real effort because of his t4 epic ex cannon

this guy got matched against two mk4 shooters, he lost be it was only because I managed to press the button miliseconds before he could kill me with his t5 epic blast, it ended 4-3 and we both (me and my fleetmate had hp low enough to be one shoted by rare t5 blast)
is it real punishment when he can still kill mk4 shooter with just three shots? with mk2 speeder!? that's just not normal and should not happen

met this guy even in previous event (he broke my win streak in 1v1 at least two times and I had 14 wins in both cases)
he got matched with mk4 ships but his top item was t5 epic while his other items were t1, does the rule really work?

difference of three tiers but no punishment, isn't it weird?

no difference in tiers of items but still op when compared with mk4 shooters even in terms of firepower

now the other side of the problem-no fair match with people with similar gear
never lost against people who have similar gear score as they'r not skilled enough so it's kinda balanced by these manipulators but still, you know

 

The system is not perfect but it does go on the extreme side sometimes.

My match against Banderas and GS from Rebellion and i am not even close to these guys.

 

You all only talk about the opponent in matches. Why not mention how many coins you won? It's not like you got 0.
Any match you win more than 4 coins. Say thank you devs.
They are giving you free parts, pieces, weapons, and perks thru these events from earning coins. Which you can hit unlimited battle. No tickets required.

Don't focus on win loss. Focus on how many coins you want to earn. And play the amount of battles needed. If you average 5 a game whether win or lose as a median score. Then calculate from there. 900 ÷ 5. And play the amount of battles quickly to do it over 3 days. Easy. It matters little how good the winner of the game is. It matters how many coins you earn while you win or lose.

As many people have pointed out. Earn damage quickly. Get coins. Hit the next button.

They're probably so high level that it's hard for the matchmaking system to find opponents for them or something

 

It's still very possible to get coins but the rewards aren't what excite a lot of us when it comes to events, it's the change of pace. Events are really fun, but the matchmaking still needs a bit of work as there's a lot of unfair battles going on. A big part of it is the players trying to game the system, which forces the devs to implement countermeasures which sometimes ruin it for another group of players who's best gear naturally falls into gear score dropping territory. Why are we seeing Mk5/Mk6 ships with average equipment being pitted against Mk7 players with full racks of t4/t5 epics with some leggies? I've seen gear score differences of like 4k+ between both teams (like 8k+ gear score if you consider the total for each team) and I've experienced this myself, however I've only ever been on the bottom end of this.

 

Good explanation. This should be fixed. I support the concept of tightening this.

 

Are you telling me that my whole set up is seen as exploiting. I have a legendary carronade. But I also use items a lot below: A tier 1 epic blast, a tier 3 rare standard shield, a tier 2 epic turbo and a tier 1 epic tesla shield. Apart from my tier 4 rare blast and my tier 3 OB, nothing is close to the legendaries gear score. Is this why I am seeing so many opponets with gear scores 3 k above me and with all tier 4 epics or legendaries?

 

Its hard to earn coins when your oppoenents are much stronger than you. I bet all this is a ploy to make me spend some money to get another legendary.

 

Welcome to the club lol. I have a t5 epic blast, the rest of my gear is t4/t5 rare or like t2/t3 epic, but more than half of my opponents have full t4/t5 epic racks.

 

You know your life is dead when they hit you for 2000 while you are burning but you hit them for 450 when they are burning

 

Ok to be fair I hit for like 1800 when they're burning but my flare does nothing and their shields are wayyyyyy better.

 

i hit 500 when they burning

 

what's the strongest weapon you use?

 

xD define strongest? like most dmg is probs T3R bigtorp, heres my inv
i love my stc tho

the 500 i was talkin bout was my T2E blast at lvl 14 with two epic burn perks doing 430 without burn dmg...

 

I always thought that your infamy and level was much higher
btw nice cannon

 

nooo im a nooob
thx tho it took forever to max
