Why must item rarity be a progress limiter?

    So yes a tier 5 rare is like 150 more damage for a blast cannon than tier 4. What is the point of the legendary then when it only does 150 more damage when ur weapons already do huge damage. For ex I have no combo but i recently custom battled someone and their flare plus blast cannon combo did 1000 damage on me, how would 150 more seem that appealing.

    Rare T5 ex cannon does 1200
    Leg Ex cannon Lv 10 does 1600
    The differences are bigger than 150

    so i said that at my level the difference between tier 4 and tier 5 rare blast cannon is 150, i need to revisit those numbers though but i assure u the difference between tier 5 rare and legendary is not that large

    How big the damage difference is varies depending on the weapon. Some more significantly than others. A rare t5 sniper vs legendary has a damage difference of about a 100, that is not too much but is a huge factor when it crits. Other weapons with higher Base damage have a larger difference.

    On the contrary, ex-cannons faces a nerf.

    In addition to this, the difference grows as you unlock more percentage-based damage buffs on your talent tree. That 100dmg difference, with talents that given you +50% damage, is now 150dmg. It all adds up.

    To grossly generalize:
    Level 50 Rare = Level 35 Epic = Level 1 Legendary
    Level 50 Epic = Level 23 Legendary

    This has basically been my existence in Battlebay. You gotta love it when everyone else can 2 to 5 shot you but a kill for you takes 10-20 shots.

    I'm fine with the current state of item rarity. I think the issue is in the matchmaking system. For some reason it weighs infamy very strongly and gear almost not at all. Couple that with the fact that a lot of people are deliberately staying at low infamy and... well... I'm thinking of changing my name to SuperGuppy. I feel like I am constantly punching quite a bit above my weight class.

    Just saying as i am so close to legendary but it doesnt seem as impressive as before, eventhough i just got tier 4 blast cannon on my mk4 speeder the difference between level 40 rare and level 1 legendary is probably just under 150 damage.

    It's uncommon for games (especially shooter games) outside of East Asia namely China, to have rarity weapon system. Aside from the recent Fortnite game, it also have weapon rarity but it's not a permanent item to keep now is it?

    It scales up real fast. I have a maxed t4 rare. But a lv10 legendary can blow any ship out of the water in Ace(at least for me).

    An mk4 speeder WITH a lege blasty WITH perfect trainings and perks? I would have nightmares of that. For me, a lv10 lege blasty would be a straight ticket to Ace 1. Not NM, for sure. The damage to burners would scale to about 1.5k a hit, maybe more. Daaamn.

    I would suggest you to really focus on your crew training. As obvious as it seems to point out that infamy is highly correlated with captain level, it can be equally helpful in being reminded of the same.

    Unfortuantely there is a very low chance of getting blasty and even if i did i got no flare. Personally i want a flare or firebomb to go with my tier 4 blast cannon rare i already have. I am still in master so NM is like a dream lol

    There is a shooter called ChaoCibay in my league. Dude is a semi brawler. We just "disassemble" entire teams. He's got a lege blasty. And unlike most punks with legendaries in my league, he's a dead shot with it. Just awesome.

    i asked a fellow player about this,missiles T! legendary had better damage T4 with 1 extra damage perk on the epic..

    Same thing i have confirmed about my LRM also....

    legendary are Infact much stronger than the what we have presumed until now.

    Now having said that about red items yellows are even stronger,consider the screen-shot.While red legendary gives vast improvement over the tire 1-5, for yellow T1 is almost as strong as T5.

    THiS proves the above inference,the diff between T1 leggy and max EPIC in yellow items is even more less.So that makes yellow legendary good! actually for F2P to obtain.But that does not deny the fact legendaries are not just barely better than rare t5.They are quite good infact
