Current Matchmaking system is horrible. It needs to be more flexible.

Just remember that mark 5 and mark 4s around the same level are equal for a reason, could be a skill gap but more often than not the mark 4 could have some nice weaponry, or the mark 5 is using a questionable loadout. I'm one who believes matchmaking solely on infamy is the best way to go, with some exceptions such as a lopsided fixer game (2 fixers vs 0).

 

I'd better fight 2 mk4 fixers than a party of people who have simply higher level, more crew talents and base ship stats.
Killing a party with two fixers with my torp and explosive cannon is much more easier than facing 6500 hp defenders and 4500 hp shooters who sometimes have mk5 fixer overall! Very balanced! Yeah!

 

So tell me, a team of mk4 shooters vs a team of mk5 shooters... Do we have equal chances of winning? Mk5 shooters got stronger weapons, on top of that they got 1-1,5k more health, on top of that they got more defence, and on top of that they got an additional weapon slot wich means even more damage.

Yes I have won a few matches like that, but I lost them the big majority of the time. So, do you still think a match like that is a 50/50 win chance?

 

Guys you're writing here that when MK4s is against MK5s, MK5s have less skill, that's why they're in the same infamy range.. But what if they had just bad period of time (it happens), what If they've been dropping infamy and now they're fighting for their place back? I say prevent players from infamy dropping and it will be clearer and then only we can have this discussion. Because that's still the main problem I see in the game.

 

2 months and a few days isn't that long. I'm still pretty confused on anything that happens on this game to be honest

 

(I didn't read everything you said sorry) here's my opinion
I think the whole system needs changing
Get rid of or rework what infamy does it's terrible I've said that since day 1

Make games based on
1st and most importantly mk level all ships should be the same
2nd and very important your win percentage
3rd and could be argued your games played
4th the rarity of your weapons should be considered

 

Still before me though.

I just realize I chatted with you last weekend in English-Chill Zone. I didn't know 'Joey who' was you then.

 

1) A veteran in an MK3 ship is much difference than a noob just obtained one
2) A player that spend load of $$$ will have a higher winning percentage at the beginning. He/She should suffer for paying?
3) Not every gaining skills at the same level. Some people spend some money and just play for fun and kill time. They don't have desire to be top 50 players.
4) Tier 5 Rares likely belong to experience players will some noobs just happy to get their first Epic.

Please give more reasons for me to dissect.

 

Yea, haha. That's the only global I stay in. I'm not that active on global though.

 

The multiple choice. I'd have to disagree on. It's not simple and it's not good. It is by far the worst it can ever be. Too many unfair battles like I've lost 10 battles in a row last week. Trying to recover and it's hard

 

It needs work . Lol sometimes wondering what I am doing in these type og matches

 

They've started to have same matchups with same players but in my instance no one moved second match so I losses that as well

 

Actually I'll just dissect what you said cause a lot didn't make sense to me. no offense!
1 ofc it is that's why games played/win percentage is taken into account
2 so your telling me a really good player because he's pay to win can just go around killing noobs? No he should have to try and fight hard in games. It's not suffering it's fair play for everyone.
3 it could add more depth to matchmaking and prevent very expirenced players from killing noobs that's why I said #3 I stand by the idea
4 I don't understand what your saying sorry haha
I think your saying experienced players have higher weapons? Ofc they do and that's why they should play together lol

 

"4th the rarity of your weapons should be considered" --> "Tier 5 Rares likely belong to experience players with some noobs just happy to get their first Epic."
If matchmaking also base on rarity, than a player with epic will always face tougher opponents than the one using rare. Also, who the heck want to buy Legendary?

 

Ahh I see what your saying but it wouldn't be bad because it would be working in conjunction with the amour of games/win ratio and mk

Each one of these things on their own wouldn't be perfect but together they would in my opinion be incredible compared to what we have now lol
