Balancing Gear score changes

But they won't. They probably rely on frustration spending from victims, while not interested in stopping the clubber, because that one either is a long term player or a spender, and we should never bite the have that feed us.

 

If matchmaking was based on captain level new players would avoid training and spend extra sugar on weapon upgrades. This would still create an imbalance because as their weapons improve they will still be playing the same tier players

 

Any matchmaking will be exploitable, but one: straight Max infamy matching.

It is the only simple way to do it.

More complex way would take in consideration current, season and Max infamy, but tests would need to be made to weight each of those into the algorithm.

Or, perhaps, a decent and honest policy to punish cheaters and exploiting the system.

As it is, the fair play rules say you need to report in game on exploiters, but when you do so, rovio responses are"we do not care, please don't use report system to report bad players"

 

Newsflash: you want to make a game mode where people can experiment, therefore, needing to be matched by great and not by infamy?

FINE! JUST DON'T MAKE THIS MODE A HIGH REWARD ONE.

how about a casual battle mode with modest rewards where matchmaking is based on gear or mk or whatever, and leave the UNIQUE REWARDS events A FAIR ground for players? It's IT THAT DIFFICULT a concept to grasp?

 

Agreed. If rewards were scaled then that problem goes away, as it exists today somewhat... plenty of MK6's running around under 1000 Infamy.

Captain level isn't good enough either. Specific training for the equipped items, or ship stats, is what matters.

 

That's good !
You know what ?


I l0Ve it !

 

Does it realy works....I have gs of 7300 and i m matched against 10000 gs 5000 infamy players....is it fair

 

You know I see this quite a bit. In my enforcer with barely over 4k gs and about the same ship hp I am still able to hold my own against the 6-7k gs shooters I face in infamy battles. It' all about tactics and strategy, if you try to brute force a more powerful opponent you will lose every time.

 

Q;WHEN I UPGRADE MY WEAPON FROM ONE TIER TO ANOTHER TIER FIRST IT SHOWS MINUS GEAR SCORE THEN AFTER A SECOND IT SHOWS PLUS GEAR SCORE WHY IS IT SO????
A:

 

I think they should base gs on things like dps for weapons. The same item can deal hundreds more damage with just 3 training items for it, why should it have the same gs as someone with the same item but less training. The dps is already calculated, so it'd be reasonably easy to implement. For shields, the gs is calculated on hp and defence. If this approach is taken to all aspects of the ship (including base hp of the boat etc) then it would fix a lot of the problems.

 

Last game a 10400 gear score and 6000 ggear score played same match.....if it goes this way many guys will quit battle bay....its mismatched to greatest height...totally unfair

 

Actually, that is intentional. Everyone complains about mine spamming, this would be greatly reduced. Torps have high damage and can be aimed, so not the same as mines. I think fire bomb would be one of the hardest hit under this method, but the point is, it represents ones ability to deal damage and to survive. How much damage you can do with those weapons you choose depends on skill. It's a fair match up.

 

Maybe some adjustments need too be made.
You can't automatically give a t4 epic grenade the same gs for a boat with captain level 37 vs 47. The last three or four grenade trainings boost base damage by about 20% and burn damage by 50%. 1 vs 1 with same grenade, but different training, the higher level training wins easily. It's simply not fair to assign them the same gs which is currently what happens. If you assign gs to the crew training, then gs is going to be artificially inflated by crew training that you're not utilising, eg. Felix training for a shooter.

 

I don't think that's the proposal. The issue is Gear Score for an item is the same whether it's equipped on a Captain L1 or a Captain L50 boat... and doesn't take into account the training, which is like a sh*t ton of extra perks.

I have already illustrated in this thread that Gear Score for shields is all out of whack even for the same player... rather than being based on HP it's based on some magical complicated formula based on Tier, Perks, and Rarity that ultimately fails when a shield with more HP has a lower GS than another shield with lower HP. Same with Turbo... Those are the most elementary cases. if the Devs can't get those right, there's no hope for relative GS on more complicated items.

 

there are kinda huge flaws in current gs system
for example some bonuses of of perks seem to be worthless (adding 0 gs) and some are overrated, this makes seal clubbing in events much easier
and power score is probably not working as intended, NM players with maxed trainings and t1L items should have much higher power score than, for example, lvl 23 player with t2 and t3 rares and epics, yet they get matched together
or lvl 50 vs me, I need to equip full sets of epic and rare perks to lower difference in power of items, so they have lower gs than me but but they're still stronger
