Starting all over again ;)

Huge increase in HP and cannon damages.
Even though my old crew was not trained high enough... Need to rethink all future upgrades

 

low level gameplay suddenly isn't so difficult anymore since this update levels the playing field so much

 

Right!
Even with increased weapon dmg I feel much better with around 5300 hp that with 1700, lol.
And good point is that now I can use 5 weapons, 2 shields and turbo.
And as far as my opponents still have the same skill... No matter how many weapons they have

 

But what about matchmaking again?
Ship lvl 47 and ship lvl 17 in same battle?
You're cuddly wuddly kidding me...

 

That was fun

That's not as much a matchmaking issue as it is an Infamy issue.

 

Week 3:

I didn't have much time to play lately, but it seems to me that it's more easy to win now (after update). I think I am winning more CTF battles with this ship than with my lvl 50 shooter in "main" account

 

The only thing that bothers me is that I didn't have enough gold to upgrade ship to mk3, so now it will be way more expensive.
But it's also less necessary already

 

Now I almost wish that you started this with the update! But in reality it wasn’t very long ago so this is gonna be interesting. I can’t wait to see how fast your infamy goes up!

 

After event, for sure!

 

Hm... Alright, it's slightly better now. After update. But still... Making "regular" battles between ships lvl 15-20 and ships lvl 39-47 is not a good idea. Yes, lower lvl ships will not die from one or two shots, but fighting enemies with twice hp and twice gear score (and firepower) is still painful and not so fair.

 

I started 2 days after update 4.0 here's my progress so far. I've decided to focus on blast cannons and fire bomb build for this account.

 

Nice one!
My main concern now is the new ship upgrade system. It's really expensive now. But in fact it's not that much vital already

 

Interceptor Event finished.
Didn't have much time to play.
Spent 220 coins and got 1465 pieces (700+700+65). That's sad

 

Hey me too..I could only muster upto 6000 coins..Hope that event comes back soon. I need that interceptor boat.

 

No matter what I do, lol...
There are soooo many ships of ship lvl 30-39, that have no idea what they are doing in battle =)

Another good part of the game (comparing to 1-year ago) is that now you can get weapons not only by collecting pieces, but also by achievements. Deal 1000, 10k, 100k, etc damage to get a weapon is nice. Especially if you want to focus on exact set-up of weapons for your ship.

 

Week 4:

I am facing only ship levels 29, 31, 39 in each and every battle. With hitpoints between 7k and 10k. And epic weapons tier2-3-4. And it is still annoying to be killed really fast while dealing not so much dmg with my weapons. Good thing though is that I got rare turbo, lol
Otherwise each and every mortar...


Anyway, the update gave us all full weapon slots from the beginning, and that is good. But now, with new ship level system... I can spend gold either for ship upgrade or weapon upgrade. And even if I have some gold, the shop doesn't allow me to buy 200 or 400 rare parts. 60 is maximum. Which sucks bad...

 

And it's 492k gold needed to upgrade shooter from lvl 17 to lvl 18. Ridiculous prices for my level. Because if I win a battle, I get around 10-11k gold. If I lose, 6-7k gold. And quests give me maximum 50k gold. Usually even less. So that's a looooong way to go.

 

The battles are still screwed up a lot.
Seems like infamy system is wrong on so many levels, lol.
What is the point of fighting against shooter lvl 47 in the battle full of ships under lvl 25?
