Chapter 1
In the beginning, I was a mk1 shooter. Happy. And loved to try new weapons. Then I unlocked other ships, and kept in grading all of them.
Then it occurred to me, every ship is different, and the way they are played is different too. (This is what I thought on my own, having watched no tutorial videos on how to get to Nightmare)
So I asked myself, “which ship do I like the most?” (Speeder)
What weapons are the most powerful damage wise in the game (mines and torpedoes) and there you have it, the birth or HARPO!
I rocked that setup and never changed it, even though so many people told me so. They said that’s not a speeder setup, you need a cannon, (but my torp aim was outstanding)
People said to me, “with that mine, you’re limiting yourself of the chance to put out more damage” (with my mine I have won countless 2v5’s. Plus, I’ve also gotten 18k plus damage as a mk4 speeder with this setup. So I have no idea what you are talking about)
Those people can just zip it, cause it got to 3636 INFAMY with this setup, and by God I’m not changing it!!!
I got so good at the game, I stopped playing.
Chapter 2
I came back to this game with a vengeance, this was before I hit that 3600 mark. I was in the 1300 mark at level 28-29ish. And then my infamy shot up when I got mk5 speeder.
In a night almost, I went from there to 2900 infamy, to then breaking the 3k point 3 months later. I was so happy. But yet always a bit nervous.
Why?
Well let me tell you this. I was invited to Suboaters. I accepted and only stayed a little while. P0rthos was there but he had just left 5 days ago.
I was 5 days from meeting the man himself.
Stoopid Sailor was in the guild still, the last one left, and I asked him, “why was I here?”
He told me because you’re one of the few mk5’s we have found to have such an infamy raise. We think you’ll make it to Ace 1 for sure. But who knows about Nightmare.
Well with P0rthos not being in the guild anymore I left because there were just a bunch of nobodies left and Stoopid Sailor left the game too.
Chapter 3:
So I make it Ace 1. A young mk5. Hoping to make it to Nightmare. But I was very nervous.
Why though!?
Because, I didn’t see too many mk5’s at 3k.
None really. And I thought to myself, where did they go? Nightmare league obviously. But what happened to the whole world of mk5’s swarming the Ace 1 league?
They weren’t there!!!
No one was there. I felt alone, I thought to myself was I too late?
I was wondering if this was what P0rthos and Stoopid were wondering. But I couldn’t ask them because they’re gone now. How come there aren’t anymore mk5’s. The numbers have dwindled.
Chapter 3
I start my first posts on the forum.
The add a new ship post. Anything to make the game fun again. I wanted people to play more. I also made rants on the forum on what you should never do in battle. I thought I was qualified.
And then something happens to me in Battle. I remember this day.
It was a match on Crash and Burn, there was a guy with a tier four legendary big torp. Another guy with a tier to leggy big torp. A mk7 enforcer?! A legendary tier to missile. Leggy leggy leggy galore! And tier five epics.
No rares.
Except for me!
But the battle ended swiftly because of the sheer power the other team had.
I was so mad. I wanted to blame the game saying that I was the matchmaking’s fault. But then I’d remember what P0rthos said.
“Weapons mean nothing, it’s Map Control.”
So I stayed in denial of matchmaking ever being the problem till this day...
Chapter 4
Today
I make this post on the forum to get the
ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF BATTLE BAY’s attention. Nothing has changed. In fact, it’s gotten worse.
Poor little mk2’s, like my friend
@CoolDownHSNA gets put up against mk5’s.
I get matched against mk6’s and mk7’s.
Now I know what you might say, Harpo and mk5 isn’t that much different than a 6, but it is.
Having that extra blue slot, yellow slot, red slot, green slot, anything!, means a difference in battle.
Now I’ve killed my fair share of 6’s in battles. But I can’t do it all the time. It’s too much. And I don’t wanna sit back and only do support moves because nobody wants to see that kind of content in a YouTube video.
BUT LETS BE REAL HERE.
Why are the 6’s so low.
NOT TO FORGET!!!
WHY ARE THE 7’s so low?!
Hear me out,
In game purchases.
People are able to purchase better weapons, and get better gear, however, still go against people at their same infamy.
Matchmaking is not based off of gear score, (i tested that with a mk4 defender at 3300 infamy, not a pretty sight, might get reported)
And it is certainly not dictated by the mark of ship you use, hence, the issue now.
It’s off of infamy.
WHICH MEANS!!!!
Trashy players who won’t go up in infamy in the first place...
Can now buy the best gear in the game and wreck face still being noob players...
Ruining us free to play peeps days forever.
#metoo
So here’s my dealio with you Rovio.
You focus more of income towards things like skins on boats, emotes and stuff like that.
BRAINSTORM FOR ONCE!!! I mean seriously!!!
The only reason why Fortnite is such a successful game is because I gives everyone a fair chance to win because it’s based off of skill, not paying to win. And they make crap tons of money because of the skins they make.
Maybe think of other items like the jingle bells, or the car horn.
Skins
Faces to put on your cannons
Different railgun colors
Different fire colors
Different bullet skins (like whenever you shoot your cannon it’s a smiley face
)
Or whenever you shoot your torp you can see Jaws fin sticking out of the water,
@Eeyore would like that lol)
And in exchange to make the game more fair, make the matchmaking based off of
-gear score
-mark of ship
-infamy
And you guys get rid off the offers section.
This game is about to go dead. Just like Angry Birds. Do you really want it to? Because a lot of people are getting tired of playing.
Thank you for your time.
(And if I get reported for this post be being, too rude and saying stuff that could be harsh, then come talk to me in private!)
