Top Indefensible Game Design Choices

I think you are judging too soon. If HP and weapons are simultaneously buffed nothing has really changed. What has changed is agility, and it's a learning curve, and it will take the devs further tweaking the aiming system... keep with it and report back in a couple weeks after you get comfortable with the new system. The added agility has made things harder, but harder for everyone.

 

I moved my loadout to another boat and forgot to hit select and joined a match. My gear score was really low as you can imagine for a boat with one canon and one other item, maybe a nitro or something. I think my GS was 3000 or something really low.

I expected to be in a really low GS match up. Much to my dismay the boats were 10k GS or more. I stayed out of the fray but tried to take pot shots and not die. We won. I was blown away.

 

The way EventMatchmaker(tm) seems to work is to keep everyone in their max GS matches no matter what GS they are running, but still winds up balancing side by side. In your case it likely means a Master League player was thrown in, or the other side had 2-3 weak players to offset your low gear score. It's not right, but it is what it is.

 

I’m ambivalent about the events. I pationately hate that I’m getting my ass handed to me by NML players. I like the variety of TDM and CTF. I’m starting to quit the TDM when it clear we are getting owned by the other team. I have betterbth8ngs to do than be frustrated with a lopsided loss.

It’s is very nice we can experiment with a new boat and new load out and not be put in a match based on my infamy nit is very uncool that I go into a match and I’m in way over my head.

And what is with all the mines. Some games are rediculous. There needs to be a limit to the number of mines. Or the duration of a mine. I sem them spontaneous pop. In the TDM that timer needs to be quicker.

 

I see you a lot so I know you are in the same boat as I being rolled by NML players with bigger guns in every event. Captain Level matchmaking definitely qualifies as an "indefensible game design choice."
