Huge bugs in events

I have found out that ppl who are level 30 to 50 with 2k infamy and up are playing in events using mk3 ships with gold weapons and it is unfair to us who are level 18 and cant succeed past 800 infamy in regular battlrs or even get close to winning events . please fix this issue.

 

Its not something that can be fixed. Have a read through the tons of topics on this already.

 

It can be fixed but it would change the game drastically and we saw how well this player base reacted to drastic change with the agility update.

 

Just use infamy, gear score is too easily manipulated

 

Sounds awesome ... Everyone can float their way down to 500 infamy for easier event matches ... since league rewards are nothing compared to event rewards.

Search "scaled event rewards"

 

I met an mk4 defender today in the Monday Madness, i was using an enforcer mk5 with 4100 infamy, and this guy pops up from no where and boom! Lands a sniper shot taking 1800 of my hp. Then am like, "TF just happened!?" And before i could understand what is going on, an explpsove shot flies towards the rear of my ship. Aftet that, i sink. And guess what what, the guy has 8k health! Seriously devs. I use dual blasts and a flare, even with 3 successive shots, i csn only ditch out 2500 hp at a time. And this guy, sinks my ship in less than 5 seconds.
I guess that's what's called "Balancing", right?

 

The 1% chance for the EC to crit must have happened .. bc there's no way for it to sink you otherwise. But, I guess you didn't feel the need to use your TSs either.

 

For the time being, target the cheaters. It will get them out of commission, even if it's only for 5 seconds. Also, don't use turbo. Its perks add WAY too much gearscore. Health is better anyway.

We need a system where if the matchmaking detects cheating ( this might need some tweaks. I'm playing fair with my setup, but the system would DEFINITELY think I'm some kind of hacker.) it increases cheater spawn time to 15 seconds.

 

Wait what's TSSs?

 

There's a system in place that already prevents this after 800 infamy

 

The lowercase after TS implies that it is a plural of TS. So he was saying you didn't feel the need to use your double bubble.

 

That reduces your ranked rewards by 50% or so but doesn't affect your event coin rewards.

 

The only (realistic) way to stop this is to make it harder for Mk1-5s to get event coins (i.e., scaled rewards) .. which would encourage people to use their highest mark ship for events and make it more difficult for lower mark ships to get OP legendary weapons too early ..

If that sounds like a good idea, advocate for #scaledrewards ..

If it doesn't, then I'd be careful what you ask for ..

 

It keeps you matched around your previous high infamy.

 

... until it resets and adjusts to your new infamy.

 

The whole point of Gear Score is to manipulate it. I don't mean that in a bad way, but if you are an MK7 and you take out an MK3 boat, Infamy is not going to give you a fair match... Gear Score adjusts your boat's power to give you a fair match, so that you can take out any boat you have without having leveled it or its items up. I like the idea.

If matchmaking isn't working, then Gear Score needs to be adjusted. The known issue is that Gear Score / Power Score doesn't incorporate Captain Training. It's the flaw in EventMatchmaker(tm) that is being exploited... and not always by intention.
