Yoyoing at 1200 infamy.

Start focusing more on upgrading your weapons and less on upgrading your ship. Your ship mostly determines how tough your competition is. Upgrading your weapons only makes your stronger within your ship class. I've definitely yoyo 'ed in the 1000-1600 range for a while now. Competition takes a huge jump at 1300 so be ready for that.
Also, don't choose your ship, let your best items decide it for you. In other words, don't be fixer unless you have really strong green or yellow items. If your top 5 items are weapons, stick with a shooter. You want as much DPS as possible, so don't be afraid to farm lesser items until they're strong enough to be one of your top items.
And good luck!

 

Your big torp is an absolute bruiser. Your must be phenomenal with mortars to keep that thing on the bench.

 

Yeah I love my LR mortar more than my big torpedo (u must have have noticed, I can get my triple torpedos to t4 as well). It's just doesn't add up with my play style right now (Maybe in future).
Sometimes I do use torpedos but I mostly carry LR mortar with me.

 

Nice! I actually just tried out a new mortars last night for the first time.
They're awesome but totally agree, completely different playing style.

 

Lol..it adds +20 hit points..tbh..it was a perk I was going to sell for gold for the achievement.. I know remember putting it there while half asleep at around 3am

 

Hey Shvitz.. I think you've nailed one of my problems.. I mainly play shooter..sometimes fixer(which I do ok with).
I want to be able to use most if not all boats.. I like variety and playing one boat would bore me to death. Hence me hoarding weapons..when in reality I SHOULD scrap them in hope of getting dupes/better items for shooter.
I'm in this game for the long haul..so I can work on other boats equipment as and when I get them. All boats are MK4 btw.. I had enough resources to do it as I had nothing else to spend gold on.
Time for a scrapping spree methinks.

Oh..my epic torps??..yep I'm keeping them.. I use them from time to time..but seem to help the team more with mortars. Caused chaos with them at around 700..but lesser the higher I went..need more practice I guess. In fact.. thinking about it..now is probably the best time to..no point climbing infamy and dropping like a suicide speeder if I switch to torps and I'm useless with them.

Thanks again..
Happy Battling.

 

Lmao...
I experience the exact same thing!
I yoyo'd between, 1080 - 1320 infamy luckily i made 1300 infamy which advances me to a higher level league... Though i thought the same thing but i figured out that all my losing streaks happen at a certain time of the day. Im at 1+gmt and so at 6am to 7am my chance of winning are higher, and when i have a losing streak at 19h00 i get off the game and go back after 10min or so and that losing streak end then and there lol. Try it, maybe it works for you too

 

Yeah... Sometimes it does work, but not always....In previous season, I had around 1180 infamy (Warrior 1 League)
On the last day of season ending, I played 46 matches straight and took my infamy from 1180 straight to 1608....but now I am in Masters 2 League.
Trying to get in Masters 1, hope I get there!

 

Hi all..
Just thought I'd post my end of season finishing place just to let ya know how I got on.
But first.. I'd like to thank all of you who gave advice and tips
As you'll see I did pretty good considering I was at 1100 when I made this thread..tbh I think I could have even reached the place above if I'd played a bit more.
Was soooo close to it today..in a match and it was down to 3 of us versus 1 enemy with just over a minute to go. 1speeder on plenty of health and 2 shooters who were low on health and the enemy on 1900...all in capture zone on over 50%. Enemy sends a mortar but miss all..so guess what?..the 2 shooters go after the enemy and get taken out with seconds to go!!!!
Ends in a draw and we lose 1 infamy.. I won't post what my thoughts were at the time..as I WILL get banned from the forum

The next 2 matches..the fixer in the team raced off and died in 25 seconds!..yep..it happened twice.. yet in both games the enemy won with 1 player left on low health. Would we have won with fixer?.. I reckon so..but that match didn't happen so who knows.
But yeah.. you'll see what COULD have been if SOME players would use their head..and if SOME players didn't purposely drop infamy at the end of the season..YES infamy dropping is STILL rife. All I needed was them 3 wins lol.

Anyway..thanks again all.. here's how I did..


P.s ROVIO can you pleeeeeeease STOP giving me Epic duct tape!!..3 in a row now..give me ANYTHING else

Happy Battling.

 

UPDATE..
So I decided to play a bit more to earn some resources..won a few..lost a few.
Eventually got to 1601 but no higher.. I just needed ONE more win but couldn't get it..lose 1 win 1..
THEN..with 3 minutes before season finished I quickly joined a match praying for no mk5/mk6 on enemy team like the last few games.. I though ALL OR NOTHING and rushed at them.
Happily the team followed..WE WON!! in around 2 minutes 20 seconds..maybe a bit more.

The game ended and the Season page came up straight away.. I thought noooo surely I made it in time!!..but it showed 1601 in my local/friend list..
Clicked on Season league aaaaaaaand..



I'D DONE IT!!..omg I laughed soooo much.. THAT WAS CLOSE!!

Thanks again all..looks like I'm gonna need to upgrade to mk5

Happy Battling.

 

Congrats man!! U did it
And yeah...That was really close!

 

I'm the same level as you, and... I experienced a really long yo-yo between one and two battles from ace. It was a nightmare. For over ten battles the stress of going to a higher league weighed down on me. And to make matters worse, there were only a few hours till the end of the season.
