Devs don't care

Again, total players should be rising but a decline in the time each player invests in the game has the same effect. How do you account for the disparity that has snowballed out of control if not for lack of players? The matchmaker is pitting my 2300 infamy versus players with 4300, that's no small jump. This isn't broken? You're telling me that this is fine and everything is working the way it's supposed to?

 

Then I guess the 20 odd games I've had in the past week with squads made from mk1 players with 400-800 infamy and mk6/mk5 players with 4000+ infamy did not actually happen?

 

Cheers, that's the first time I've been called delusional...

I did, just cleared my phone out. I'll catch more and I'll ask my people to take them, video when we land matches like that.

 

I'll post more soon, it's a fairly common occurance now

 

As a infamy 4000+ player, I had never been set up with mk1 or mk2 players unless someone used the wrong ship. The biggest gap I had seen was that when I was 4100+, I met some around 2100-2200(mainly mk4) at the bottoms of enemy's teams. Some of them I could kill with just one shot. Godlike feeling for me, but must be tough for them.

 

And I know most of the infamy 4000+ players, if any of us have had situation like you said, we would have saved screenshots because it's nonsense. So I don't think your complaints are real.

 

Indeed, I kept screen captures for a few days but cleared them out for space, didn't see a need for keeping them.

And to that comment^ Who are you? Am I supposed to care what you think?

 

This is the end result, not the start, but there was a mk5 around the 3900 mark and two mk2s around the 850-950 mark, still a gap of 3000 +/- infamy.

 

Okay so you've discover a fault, yes? 4562>3800 and 2333<2503 so that and other matches like it were out of the allowable range. And to be blunt, a gap of 2229 is so horrible I can't think of a family friendly way to describe it. A maximum disparity of 500 seems fair, 1000 in extremely rare circumstances like 4am on Christmas Eve kind of rare.

 

Hmmmm, I'm a scientist that deals with immense data quantities as part of my work, I've never remembered something incorrectly or wrong before when dealing with that subject matter, highly doubt I am with your minimal game.

As per my screenshot above ^ the mk5 player had 3900 infamy, the mk2s 850-950, and after a horrible MM string I was at 1216.
3900 - 1216 = 2684, that's outside your ""concrete"" facts for matchmaking.

3900 - 850-950 = 2950-3050....

Others have posted similar here and across various fb groups, games forums, and message boards. You have repeatedly said certain things were impossible only for everyone to show you you were incorrect and that those issues were in fact possible and were happening.

I'm surprised you think that there can't be issues that can escape log analysis, infrequent slips can bypass detection, concrete data faults show up...

 

Does it really have to be that high? Over 2000 is huge in this game. It's not like we're dealing with 50,000 vs 52,000, that wouldn't be a big issue but at 2000 vs 4000 the difference in ship performance is impossible to ignore and nearly impossible to overcome. Yes the teams are somewhat mixed with highs and lows on both sides but it's no fun to be the guy that gets one-shot killed in the first minute of the match or, if you manage to survive past that, shooting them with your inferior weapons. It's like trying to cut down a tree with a butter knife.
