    I started playing battle bay a long time ago and reached 3400 infamy with a lvl5 enforcer. Then I quit playing last year. Recently I logged back on and found it's way to hard for me to play with my current setup (lvl5 boats with 3900ish gear score) at 3000+ infamy where I saw lvl7 ships everywhere. So I dropped to 1500+ (where most players at my level should be). However, I'm still matched up with 3000+ players and I'm not earning any stars and battle rewards. Today is the end of the season, but I'm still at the ace rank (where I used to be) and in the "infamy Jail". This game is literally unplayable for me, so could someone at Rovio please help me out? Thanks! My game tag is #PFDNCXPW

    Try to play during events. They are not infamy based. Buy only the piece boxes and build up on some epic and legendaries. As long as you are actively playing events you will get what you need in 3 or 4 events.

    Yea I had some great fun in the recent events, but it's still a huge pain for me to get resources to train my crew or buy parts. I'm just wondering if the ban is permanent

    You were banned or you are under the infamy penalty for dropping too much?

    Sorry I meant I'm under the infamy penalty.

    Yea. I feel you. 2 months ago I came back to the game but I had no items at all. Not even pieces. Luckily for you, the infamy penalty won't take rewards from you in events, so try to be patient. They are weekly

    Out of curiosity, when did you stop playing? Because I also find that the strength of players at any certain infamy has gotten higher and higher and that its not as easy to climb with a certain gear score as it used to be.

    I made it to nightmare in November 2017 as a level 35 with: t4 epic explosive cannon, t4 rare sniper, t4 rare fire bomb, tier 4 rare big shield, tier 3 rare standard shield, tier 3 rare bandage and tier 3 rare turbo.

    IMG_0399.PNG Same problem for me: Don't wonder, rovio is far away from beeing a fair game. See the picture above. That happens all my last fights. I would like to have an explanation. All my teammates have bigger ships and weapons than me, i deal the most damage and get zero stars as reward...that happened repeatedly.
    I even don't know how to raise infamy as my opponents are way stronger. Once you get a winning streak, you must stop it on purpose or you will sugfer your high infamy once you loose a few fights

    In special events my opponents are same level, that works out fine. But in normal fights i always match much stronger. So how should i gain infamy please????

    In events, it's matching based on gear score (and other adjustments), rather than infamy.

    Your opponents are within the same gear score range

    The battle itself seems quite balanced, both teams 2x mk5 and 3x mk6. I have an acccount with a mk2 Shooter and am often the only mk2 between all mk4s and sometimes the only mk2 and the rest are mk5s. And I have 200-250 damage weapons and am in battles with T4 and T5 rares and epics. So, there was not much wrong with your battle in my oppinion, expect for you getting no stars. That is weird and wrong!


    Regards,
    Flint
