What am I doing wrong??

I used to get 20k to 30k gold and at least 2 star in a battle like this (I'm gbasso)... now I'm getting 0 stars and 3k gold... What am I doing wrong??

 

It's trying to tell you to git gud.

 

Yes welllllllll
Welllllllll
Welllllllll
Ughhhhh I hate these posts. Ok. So.
You have been labeled an infamy tanker by the game, which means you have dropped 800 infamy rather suddenly from ur top. The consequences of this is no stars, nerfed rewards, and even at low infamy u play with players from ur highest infamy.
The only way u can fix this is to gain close to ur top infamy again.

Shame on you for being a mk5 at 1k infamy making it harder for the newer players

Edit: apparently there are a lot of mk5s at 1k infamy, but since u r an infamy tanker, it means u were at 2k infamy before which is more appropriate for ur mk level. It's the fact that you dropped so far that is shameful. We all ride the infamy wave and get some big loss streaks, but losing 800 is most likely intentional.

 

I got it behumble! Thanks... to be honest this infamy drop was not intentional. I've been focusing on upgrading my weapons rather than my infamy level. I didn't know there was this kind of penalty. But I understand and I'll get back where I'm supposed to be. Can't keep winning 3k per battle anymore lol.
Cheers.

 

Dang it you sound nice lol
Sorry, best of luck to u, it's ok to experiment but if you're underperforming and dragging down ur team, expect consequences.
I'm very surprised that you have been losing while upgrading weapons....

It's good not to obsess over infamy, so losses won't be too frustrating but it's also important to be trying to win and working with ur team

The punishment ur receiving is due to the fact that earlier in the game when this was not a policy, players would infamy tank and farm rss frequently. Many players got frustrated and quit because of it. However, now with the changes there are slim to none infamy tankers as it is not beneficial anymore of course it negatively effects some more innocent players but well worth it compared to what we were dealing with

 

That sucks! And that's why they should be a sandbox where we can play with no rewards or penalties.
I just upgraded and changed weapons and crew training to try to hit harder and dropped a bunch so I personally understand.
I want to try the Defender and Speeder but i know what'll happen then.
I feel bad going into battle and learning how to aim my dual blast cannons cause i'm not being as "productive" as before but I keep in mind that's how the game works so...

 

Yeah... In the end I feel like EyeofDoom wrote: I'm not gud enough yet. A credit card should resolve that but... nooo...

 

"Slim to none infamy tankers anymore"?..I'm sorry but you're very much wrong. Myself and others have seen many mk5/mk6 go into battle..do 400 damage or so and race at the enemy to die..to avoid floating detection. They know how far to drop before playing to win again..I doubt this happens at the 2500+ range..but lower than 1400..you see it a lot.

 

Yeah ur right it's still a problem. But the limit is 800, so they'd have to be below that as a Max. In that case it's up to u and others to report them. Such is the nature of live team based games to have these infamy tankers. At least I hope we can all agree that the problem is a lot smaller then it used to be, even though more improvements can be made. I still think having mods checking chat and reports would be very useful since the bb devs are relatively short on staff

 

But how do you for sure they're seal clubbing and not just bad players?
I'm seeing a lot of mk5 shooters camp until the team is sunk then come out and do 8k damage in 3v1 battle. Do I report that guy? And if he's done that much damage in battle my reporting isn't going to reflect well on my reporting.

 

Absolutely 100% agree with EVERYTHING in this post.

 

I'm not buying the "bad player" excuse..if you've played enough to get mk5 ..you KNOW not to rush the enemy solo.
As for the players who sit back until the others are dead..and you're seeing this a lot..it suggests to me that they're doing this on purpose..therefore intentionally losing.
Apart from trying to complete an achievement..why would all these mk5+ players not fight as a team?
This is just another way of intentionally losing without being reported for floating or intentionally suiciding..many people quit after dying..so will only see that player did 8k damage in the battlelog..therefore no reporting.
Infamy IS being manipulated in a LOT of games..I know it..the devs know it(hence the infamy drop rewards punishment)..what else can be done about it?..THAT'S the question..and maybe impossible to answer.

 

Yes, some of the mk5 at low infamies are just bad players and deserve the infamy they are at. When I'm suggesting reporting, I'm talking about those players the bifter mentioned, the ones that take a few hits, then suicide into enemy. Of course also report the ones that are afk. As long as u don't abuse the system it should be fine. I realize it's hard to distinguish infamy tankers vs bad players that rush at that infamy, especially with speeders.
