    How did this guy steal my 2nd star?? He has no "extra contribution" weapons. All his weapons contribute with damage only...

    NOTE: I understand the concept of extra contribution...

    What is this??

    Haha, I was expecting something really extreme because of the title.

    But this is weird indeed. Maybe he soaked up alot of damage? Or he dodged a respectable amount of shots... (Are things like that even registered tough?)

    Anyway, I'm just as clueless as you are.

    Absolutely nothing wrong here. While damage is a big factor, contribution measures how much you helped the team win, not a simple damage counter.

    But those come down to frosting, burning and stunning enemies or is there something else we need to know? We should really be informed on how this system works it is very confusing.

    No, they don't come down to that, there's way more to it.

    Simple, do your best to win the game instead of trying to game the system for personal gain.

    There is something strange going on in this topic... How come Pinecone hasn't got a single like yet? I'm 100% sure that those comments would have got several likes already if Miika, or another admin posted the exact same message as Pinecone just did.

    As a fixer I have a really tough time seeing any logic in the amount of stars I recieve. Not so much that the average is too low, its more a complete disconnect between how crucial my healing was for the wins. So many wins with 1* where my effort was the crucial difference between Win/loss. But also those weird 3* games where I hardly do anything and where my team would have won regardless of my actions.

    Screenshot_2017-08-02-22-18-38.png I thought I'd made a fair contribution to this one, but I got singled out as the lowest. Not sure if my grenade fire adds the same sort of contribution as flare/firebomb but enemies were definitely damaged by cannons while on my fire. I'll never figure this system out..
    Here's a bit of Miika for you anyway @Wishaal;)

    Stelmo, I guess one issue with the system is that you can't actually see how close you were to the others. It might have been that you got to like 1.95 stars worth with your contribution while the next one got to 2.05 and just over the threshold, and now you feel like everybody was twice as good as you. And rightfully so. However that definitely was not the case, all of you 4 were probably really close to each others.

    That is true but the thing is where could his extra contribution had come from? When he had all items that contribute with damage only

    I was talking about Stelmo's previous picture. In your case what Pinecone said is correct, there are many other factors in contributing than just damage or buffs. Usually the damage just forms the majority of it so you don't really realize there are other ways of contributing too.

    Well the same actually applied to you case too. :) You were just barely on the different sides of the 2 star threshold, so something very small turned it to his favor this time.

    Hahaha, I certainly don't feel like they were twice as good as me. When I do more damage than a shooter with all gold and epic 5 weapons I think I'm doing just fine:)
    You tore the bad guys up damn fast in that one though, great job man.

    I play pretty aggressively so when I have a good compatible team which also likes to put pressure on the enemies it often ends in steamrolling them. However when it's a long range stakeout battle, wellll, somebody can probably next post a screenshot of me doing 0 damage with a two dozen missed long range blast cannon shots. :p It's all about team dynamics here. I constantly try to learn to adapt better to different type of teams to improve my WR.

    Don't confuse the community! You mean infamy, not win rate! ;-)

    Well, the only way to increase your infamy is to increase your winratio at this moment, until it finds it's new equilibrium at a higher level. :)

    I don't personally care that much about losing/infamy as a number but I do get mad (at myself) every time get the feeling "Dammit, if I had only played better we would have won", which keeps me trying to improve the range of situations I manage to turn into victory But yeah, confusing and off topic. Sorry. ;)
