Players beware : Do NOT try new ships or weapons.

Lol..no problems..in fact I totally agree about the RNG in this game.. I've also played many online games..and as for RNG this is by far the worst.
So for now..our choice is to do what we can with what we've got..and hope and pray for the things we want..AND NOT 3 EPIC DUCT TAPES IN A ROW ROVIO.

Happy Battling.

 

Your infamy is quite high. Even I've level 20 rare big torpedo that does damage of about 800. See, if you are speeder, your health may be 1600. 2 torpedo shot from me, plus one or two cannons, your ship will sink

 

I understand the ban on tanking. It was exploited heavily before they stopped it. It was just plain bad before this.

BUT, wow, I fully sympathize with you. I desperately want to play more boats easily. I don't really see this happening under the current setup. The irony is that I think that most people would stick longer with the game if it allowed for more experimentation. Something has to change to take advantage of all the potential variety the game could offer.

 

I was referring to wheb I was playing as fixer, mark 4, infamy at 2500. I ran double turbos so I can scoot from one ship to another quickly. My health was at 2300. When I was nearing 2600 infamy, I would get one shot killed by legendary railgun. Or two shot killed by two sniper hits occurring split second of each other. I would be at full health, and in one second, dead. Pretty demoralizing when, soon after you begin a match, in one second you are dead. You should be able to take even two big hits and survive. Fortunately, fixer only has one red slot, so I played with firebomb or naplam and did okay. My point is, many people will feel that matchmaking is unfair when p2w player can 1-hot kill you but you can't. Even someone like me who bought about a dozen epic crates, can in no way one shot or two shot kill. Developers can make MM based primarily on infamy, but secondarily on ship and weapon specs. I'm certain that this will result in happier players. I'm just not certain player pool is not large enough for this kind of MM. I'm also afraid that unless MM is better, people will continue to leave the game.

 

Ive been playing this game for years and I can't change ship because my items and talents Are simply not compatible. Sad life indeed :/.

 

It really does suck we're stuck to the ship we dedicated the most to, would love more diversity.

 

I did the same, created 2nd account to learn how to play other ships.

 

On which device do you login for the second account? Does it create problems? Any data loss for the first account? Please answer.

 

I'm not at that much high league, MM is perfectly okay.
Example: I touched an infamy of 1600 (with green strip) and most of the times I found one person on the enemy side with green strip.
Now, my infamy dropped to 1200, now I'm seeing more blue strips. At about 1400 infamy, I'm seeing all blue strips.
I'm stressing that now at 1200 infamy, I'm not playing with those green strip players, but higher blue strip players. So, no chance of seal clubbing.

If legendary weapons are a trouble, then the number of legendary weapons on each side should be equal, and this shouldn't be a problem.
Do you have any epic tier IV item?

legendary rail gun and two sniper cannon shots are enough to kill 2600 hp.

This thread was about that the current game system doesn't allow us to try different ships, as we need sugar, gold, parts, talents, what not. I fully agree with you.

 

There is a solution to the problem. Remove the gold costs from the ships. Once you get a certain captain level you unlock the ship level for free. To offset this parts can be more expensive let's say 2x-3x to the current costs.
The reasoning is that in most MOBA once you get basic heroes you don't level up the heroes. In the case of battle bay heroes are the ships. This will help people to try out newer ships without any issues

 

Gold is very cheap. Parts are already very expensive. Problem of trying new ships is not that we've not enough gold, but the problem is that we don't have enough parts to level up the other coloured items which we don't use now with our current ship.

 

You are missing the point. I hope you understand if ships are given free then it will leave you with ~7.5 mm gold (that's roughly gold required to level up your ships from mk3 to mk4) and if you look at the whole upgrading of ships it's expensive and probably the reason why people don't level up all ships. It's always a question whether I should upgrade my ship or my weapons cause it affects your infamy if you upgrade all ships as against weapons.
That money can easily be used to farm up items

 

I've just done exactly the same, except I normally play with a mk4 defender, and I'm really struggling with my new mk4 speeder. I've come to the view that it's new weps that I need to learn how to use at pace, esp torps. It's all about eh loadout ;o)

But conversely I'm still winning a fair few matches cos, despite what I hear from a lot of people on here and in my guild, I see loads of good players in my infamy range (2300 - 2000).

All the best...

 

Getting a better ship for free can bring some variability and fun into the game. Like, I've MK3 fixer, but with MK4 fixer, I could try my rare level 20 rare big shield. But for getting MK4 fixer, I'd need 1.5 million gold. But

This will ruin the game.

 

The time it takes to upgrade items and captains is enormous. It includes sugar too.

The issue for me isn't the cost. I am fine with playing low level boats and grinding away at improving their load outs, raising the level of the captains. I just can't do it without tanking my primary boat of the moment. I should have the ability to play other boats without being punished in some fashion....if only because it would make the game much more fun.

 

I use android, and download parallel space app. I believe there is a you tube video explaining how.

 

I've been playing for about a month or so, almost at mk4 shooter which is my primary, I began using and loading my fixer a week ago. I actually win more using it even though it still has low level rares. I use epic missiles on both ships, I'm grinding to upgrade them to 4 projectiles. I keep all rare items so I can upgrade when I get duplicates unless I get them in epic. It's a long game strategy, kinda a slog to acquire rare parts.

 

I switched from shooter to fixer pretty easily, I started focussing on my overboost and healing items. I used none of my resources on shooter. Switched at 1200 infamy, now at 2800 mk5 fixer with level 30 rares (except my pulse) and level 10 epics. You just need to stop focussing on shooter.

 

Another solution would be, that Rovio applies infamy per ship type.
So, for example, you can have 2000 infamy with your best ship and 1000 infamy with a ship you are currently leveling up.
