Our BB Journey

This is me a year ago, when I just upgraded to MK4.. (awwww)


And now..

 

Lol, from the time I last posted on this thread to now, my gearscore increased by 10.

 

Small steps, gotta start somewhere though!

 

First shot of my gear mid August



And now. Half way to mk7

 

4× Flux is much better

 

Hahahaha, I’m a level 31 at <1000 infamy

 

I'm level 35 at 1.9k infamy.

 

Finally hit 2k infamy today with this:

 

It was easy back in those days. Can you imagine I made it as far as 3700 with T4R in mk5. Now I have T4E and I am still at 3600.

 

I've had a lot of changes since I was a teeny mk1 fixer but now I have 2 main setups.

 

my journey started months ago (don't even know when exactly) then had a pause (if I remember correctly)
I came to forums when I was "noob"-mk2 speeder/shooter at 800 in pool of mk4 and 5 sharks
I recieved many tips from TheAntiSnipe, Da Carronade King, Sewah, The Otherguy, What's Up Player and many others (sorry for everyone who helped me and I didn't mention him/her)
I changed my main ship many times in like four months speeder-->shoter-->defender-->enfo (few battles but got my to 1k infamy for the first time)-->fixer-->defender-->selfish fixer-->speeder-->selfish fixer-->shooter (right now)
as you can I tried many times, tried also loads of meta setups and also some non-meta yet still good setups and some weird setups (for example double fire bomb mk2 shooter) and I also did these changes because matchmaking forced me to do it because my current ship was always too weak to compete and I always chose ship which pushed my infamy up
since the start I am suffering due to the matchmaking, when I came to the forums (at least my oldest post I found)

the situation was awesome, mk2 and mk3 ships together at over 600 infamy, it was possible for mk2 ship to go really high before meeting mk5 guys
as the time was going the matchmaking problems started and were getting worse

I was poor mk2 speeder in pool of mk4 and mk5 ships who were regulary one shoting me no matter which weapon they used
my items are much stronger, my skills are much bigger than when I started yet my infamy have not increased that much


and the situation now, you might say that I have mk4 ship so it's logical that I meet mk5 ships but the higher I get, the more mk5 and mk6 meet so now it's impossible to get back to master (and I got there with mk3 ships and t2 rare as best item, only one btw)
my inventory, captain level, levels of items and mk's of my ships have got higher yet I am still not able to compete with players I meet (almost same situation since I started playing BB) and I think that my infamy could be significantly higher because I am more skilled than these mk5 players but they easily steam-roll me with their brutal force
my progress almost stopped (it takes like 2 weeks to get 1 level for any of my items because my leauge rewards are low and shop isn't giving me enough parts) and I have no chance of becoming equal opponent (in terms of items' levels) for these mk5 players because their grow speed is similar to mine (or maybe slightly higher because of their league rewards) so if I ever manage to get levels of items they have now they will have much stronger items again

I think that BB journey is comming to it's end (and it might be closer than I think) because problems with matchmaking, endless grinding, idiotic teammates, system exploiters everywhere etc. are just simply killing my joy from playing this game and there is no point in playing something when it starts to be boring/annoying/consuming too much time etc. and it seems that this is not going to change anytime soon and I don't want to wait months for fix of these problems
I think that I made some friends here and also in the game, I have awesome guild but this game is not enjoyable for me anymore so I think that this is end of my funny and edifying BB journey, I am happy that I met all of you guys (even those with who I argued about some irrelevant BS, lol) because I had awesome time with you but this might be end of it all

 

It might be really hard and boring right now, but if you push through, with enough effort you can get out of the “crap zone.” Are you getting punished by the anti-tanking system (-800 infamy)?

 

nope but I would not even notice it because my rewards are rather small

 

I think you could get into master once you upgrade to mk5 (you look really close, lvl 29)

 

Also, that ex cannon in your inventory is definitely better than missile launcher because at early levels it doesn’t have enough projectiles and stuff from training

 

Also, use that std cannon! STD cannon is really good for its high dps at first, I used std cannon from 500 infamy to 3k infamy

 

That might not be needed though when he's using 3 powerful cannons + flare gun already, because there would barely be cooldown time before he can restart his cycle.

 

you mean back to master? as I said in original post, I got to master with just mk3 with t2 rare as best item, my highest ever is 1455 infamy but then frigging mk6 idiots (not going to self censor myself) pushed me under 1k infamy one season and idiotic teammates finished those mk6s' job and got me to infamy tanking zone, took me like two or three seasons jost to get back from this BS (infamy tanking zone) and another season or two to get back to 1k infamy, now I have problem with staying above 1k (because mk5 idiots are simply everywhere, you may ask why idiots, it's simple, they either do it on purpose or are that big noobs to be at 1k infamy with that big firepower, they have usually full set of max t3+ epics)

 

yeah I would like to use it but that's impossible right now because they kill me in like 4-5 when at least two concentrate fire on me so I need some mid-long range weapon
