I'm leaving the bay. (update)

At the title says, I'm leaving the bay.
Until the matchmaking is fixed or 3-5 player fleet is enabled I'm done spending my time on this game. Goodluck to those sticking to the grind.

Hopefully I'll be back if the next update is good.

 

So many people are leaving. :O

 

Rovio messed up matchmaking. Almost every match is lopsided whether you win or lose. Not much fun in that.

 

Pathetic! Haven’t been at my best 611 in weeks...me 2

 

I dropped 1000 infamy since the update.
(I was at 3000 infamy, now 2000)
Even doing 10k+ damge regularly wasn't enough to keep me from dropping.
I'd go on loosing streaks where no matter what I did I couldn't win.
(most the times I did win, my team would blast them out of the water 5-0. No fun in that either)
I ended up doing more damge then my 4 team mates combined regularly.
I shouldn't have to carry my whole team.
That just isn't fun.
I guess it's my own fault for not fleeting enough?

 

Yup, I agree matchmaking got worse.

 

And strangely I got 1000+ infamy after update. I was struggling at 2300 before update now I am well placed at 3200.

 

Yes fleeting does help. I found out that in my steady rise. And one strange phenomenon I noticed is that when some player does exceptionally well in one season and skip next league he or she usually end losing more than any other player.
If you were in Masters 1 did exceptionally well and went to ace 2 directly or ace 1 then slump happens because steep increase in infamy which should not happen. Infamy rise should be steady.

 

Lol, I’ve reached 4.9k inf. But teams are all messed up. Looks like “Noodle” bay hahah..

Some matches are unbearable...

 

Well you were already an exceptional player from beginning. I know you as nuclear torpedo guy.
The infamy slump and steep gain is major issue in ace league, often people rise exceptionally and then couldn't cope up with incredible amount of firepower present in 3000-4000 region.
Lots of nightmare league players are matched up in matches they just roll over teams. But its once or twice in a day not every match.

 

Lol, that was over a year ago, when I had the highest DPS big torpedos and swift set of the bay.
At that time I was taking over 1.8k dmg with the big ones, and was very common to skin two or three at the same time. Now they are obsolete, just remained the skills and tactics of hitting them.

I often see players dealing more than 3k damage with one big torp, without frost. I can deal just 2.4k with them

 

My rise was reasonably steady, and I never stopped doing good damge and playing well.
I guess I've just been unlucky.
Give me a while.
I'll be back

 

Just hit 4.7k with MK5 and because of how matchmaking is, I don’t feel like it’s anything...
I wasn’t even trying hard just playing casually.
Like 1/2 my matches are paired with 3000s.

 

@Babablacksheep Pawa of shooter

 

Very hard to do that, congrats !
When I had MK5, was very hard to maintain over 4k. Mostly because of my lack of shield HP, which is hard to fix it,lol.. since the game doesn’t give me other one for months

 

Yeah same for me. Stuck on epic t2 since mk4.
Thanks, but it’s not the same anymore. Back in your days, only the few elite can reach 4K with mk5s, now it’s just way too easy, due to infamy inflation in conjunction with the new matchmaking. The sense of accomplishment is gone.

 

See ya.
At least you have a nice, helpful, respectful good-bye thread.

 

Lol I've played a couple of times with you. I've gained 600ish infamy myself, but all I did was swap to speeder

 

Are you Banana Boat?

 

Banana Boat is in my guild. He's been running speeder (except to help with enforcer quest) since he joined.
