    It is time Developers to create a new league for 5k and up.
    This league would have a new name.
    Example
    LEGENDARY LEAGUE

    The best of the best play in legendary league.
    Prevent any ship under mk.6 from entering the 5k Lendary league.

    Nitemare league would remain for 4k to 4.99k players. But Nitemare league would not reset to 4k after 2 weeks.

    The only league that would reset would be legendary league and that reset would be to 5k. Every 2 weeks.

    It's time for this change over 700 players are nitemare now. And over 150 are 5k or over. U need the 5k players to evolve up to prevent seal clubbing. And stop the cycle of infamy tanking across the bay.
    Also developers need safeguards In the legendary league to prevent low level ships from being n the league.
    Rule 1 of Legendary league.
    No mk5 or smaller mk ships allowed.

    Only mk6, mk7, and presumably mk.8 ships are allowed into league play.

    This will keep matches competitive and give the upper echelons what they desire. True fireworks and tough matches. No nitemare player wants to hunt mk3, mk4 ships.
    And same is true for the 5k players. It's not fun to fight ships who don't have a chance to truly fight back.

    These should be simple coding fixes for our great dev team. And can and must be added for the health of the bay by next update.

    Nah they should rename the leagues to Bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond
    Before they implement a new league, they need to add 3 vs 3 or 2 vs 2 battles. Not enough players are going to be online the same time for 5 vs 5 if they add a new league.

    How bout hot fixing the frost torp disaster and there won't be so many 5 and now 6k players. Im sitting out till this mess is fixed. Game not fun unless you are running frost torps. Devs seem to ignore the issue so I'll ignore the game untull fixed.

    League changes will have no impact on matchmaking.
    Matchmaking is based on infamy.
    Making 5k+ Infamy players reset to 5k will actually make matchmaking worse.

    The reset right now triggers at 4K, and I believe in the past it was at 3500. Raising the reset bar should in theory improve matchmaking, since 1) there won't be as much infamy "lost" from the economy, and 2) players in Ace I with Rares and low-grade Epics won't be getting paired with the 5-5.5K crowd that paid for a full set of Legendary items.

    1)The infamy lost is actually keeping it more in balance, otherwise the variation in infamy will become larger, making more lopsided matches, think of it like the gap between the rich and the poor.

    2)The players in Ace I will still be paired with 5k players just like it is now but instead of only the bottom half of the season when the 5k players reach 5k from 4K they will be paired with them the whole two weeks.
    Right now the matchmaking simply does not have enough top tier players to support full nightmare league players/5k players matches at a consistent basis.

    You know, just a thought. Instead of new league just divide nighmare into different leagues during season as with other levels and have those league winners plus an overall winner of all nightmare league competitors. One catch, fleet matches don't count toward league points for season only solo play. Just a thought.

    That's not how it works though. If a player is reset to 4000 and then climbs up to 5500, that 1500 infamy had to come from somewhere; and that "somewhere" is the players they beat.

    So the player with the Mk7 and the full Legendary setup takes 1500 infamy out of the Mk6/Epic crew, who end up at a lower level. The Mk6s take it out of the Mk5s, who end up lower. Repeat this over and over and that's how you get Mk5's with triple-digit infamy. The only way to offset this is for the lowbies to beat bots, who have an infinite supply of infamy to give out.

    Well said all here.

    Nitemare league has raised from 3500+ before to 4000+.

    It's time to raise again. This does help the lower tiered boats to not get seal clubbed as much. And if the past shows that the bay can support the raise of the nitemare bar....the present is ripe to do the same.

    Whether it is still called nitemare and have multiple leagues. Or a brand new league?

    Don't care. But it is time got a change of the bar again. Time to raise it.
