Winning with zero stars

ive noticed that I've been winning and receiving zero stars? Last three games specifically ive healed over 14k and made kills, and yet someone with only 500 damage is getting a star. This really sucks. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

It's because you've dropped too much infamy, now you're being punished.
@The Grim Repair please tell me there will be a popup explaining this in the next update?? There are multiple threads like this daily, it's absurd.

 

Thank you. I guess that's what I get for trying to learn a new boat....

 

Yep. I have a feeling that most of the people punished by this measure don't deserve it to be honest.
Start a new season anywhere near nightmare league or try to learn new ships/weapons and you might be in for it..

 

Yep, both actually. Thanks so much

 

Same thing happened to me. The rewards (gold/sugar) were so bad I decided to take 10 days off until the season ended.

 

Forever? I guess I'm done then.

 

And that is total bs when the game let' you go on a win streak for an infamy you can never maintain. Constantly hovering around -800 infamy. Sugar cap keeps you from evolving weapons for months and even longer because now your struggling to earn resources so you can upgrade and push your infamy higher. Catch-22. Once your there you might as well quit.

 

Yup, I'm in the exact same conundrum as you mate. Very frustrating, I really hope they fix this as most of my infamy was lost via completing guild quests this hardly seems fair and now I'm struggling to get back within the 800 infamy range, and even then the 'rewards' for winning a battle at the lower end of the 800 range gives a very small amount of sugar and gold. Very very frustrating

 

Yep, me too. Battling for guild quests, had a good win streak with my favorite boat and weapons. Infamy higher than ever thought I would get. Then trying for other quests, boats and weapons i suck with, went on a big losing streak. Now I get tiny rewards after each battle. Seems like B.S. to me

 

Hang in if you can handle the frustration. I was in exactly the same spot (for the same reason). It went on like this for a couple of months and then all of a sudden I got on a lucky win streak and within a week I was back up over the -800 threshold and rewards returned.
I still think the punishment system for playing the game the way it was designed is terrible - but at least it sometimes corrects itself.
It was a long wait though and I came very close to quitting too. I did cancel my subscription and bought no pearls during this time - so I guess that was my minor revenge (not a big spender so I don’t think it really affected anyone’s bonus though).

 

"It went on like this for a couple of months"

Yup, sounds encouraging doesn't it?

 

They call it punishment... but that’s so you don’t realize that it’s actually a money grab.

Think about it: who tanks infamy? Most likely people who spend moolah and are then chagrined to discover that the advantage is nowhere near what they were expecting... considering the ridiculous cost. So they drop down to one shot smaller boats... most free players cultivate their infamy so nobody I know would drop it on purpose... but then again we actually know how to play.

So it’s an excuse to stop free players from gaining resources. That’s all it is. If this was about seal clubbing even remotely, they would have had it so you could only lose so much, or some other way... but since this “punishment” does not affect the cash cows (who probably don’t even notice because they can simply buy resources) they are free to “teach us all a good lesson “ with their “accidental” embargo on hundreds of loyal players who did nothing wrong except keep playing. Without giving them any of our hard earned cash. Even though I’ve watched thousands of videos after matches, thus contributing to their economy.

Honestly I used to feel insulted to get no stars or gold when I had highest damage on either team but now I’m just embarrassed for Rovio because it’s like seeing someone who I used to respect standing outside the liquor store begging for change.
