Match making and visibility!!!

I think that the match making honestly need's a little bit of work done to it. Because the match making gets absolutely ridiculous sometimes. I get put on the team's all the time that are trash and garbage and I'm literally doubling tripling every single player on my team in damage and still losing the game because the player's on my team suck so bad and it happens 7 out of 10 game's a lot of the time. Then when it come's to the visibility, I don't see how I am popping up against other player's on opposite team all the way across the map for them to b able to see me and shoot me and they are able to shoot me because of this, but they are not popping up and there names aren't coming up for me like I am and my name is for them all the way across the map. So honestly think that also needs to be fixed. O and also when a player from opposite team is behind something that is literally rite in front of me and I'm rite on top of them pretty much there name and everything will completely disappear or never show up at all, but my name appears for them no problem and they are able to still shoot me and hit me dead on because of this and taking me out because of this, but I'm not able to see them or shoot at them to hit them and take them out like they are me, because they are not showing on my screen like I am showing on there's. So also think this should be looked at and fixed to make it fair both ways.

 

I surely agree with the matchmaking issue. Matchmaking is pure garbage on this game. I feel your pain! I came to the forum just now because I just lost a match where to of my teammates had 2600 infamy, yet my infamy is 3441. If I can't fleet with someone because of an 800 point diff in infamy, then my teammates shouldn't have an 800 point diff in infamy either. This is just ridiculous.

As for the visibility issue, I think you just have to understand the concept of line of sight and the use of radar. The reason you are being spotted by someone who's far away is most likey because you were spotted by one of their teammates who we're closer to you. For example, I can be a thousand miles away from you, but if my teammate has you within their range of sight, then I can see you too. Same when there's an obstacle between yourself and the enemy. If the enemy's teammate can see you, so can the guy on the other side of the obstacle. Hope this helps.

 

Just because you are getting the most damage, doesn’t mean you are the best player.

I’ve had games where two shooters have raced off on thier own, chasing a lone ship, and left the rest of us trying to protect the fixer 3 vs 4.

Bear in mind, that a fixer and I would only (typically) have 3-4 guns between the 2 of us, so against 4 enemy shooters, were massively outgunned, and a poor fixer can’t just speed away like I can.

So those guys get us killed, and then they get themselves killed (because they can’t win 2 vs 4 either).

At the end, the two guys who raced off, have ‘top damage’ (from nailing one ship), and are probably complaining about ‘useless teammates’, even though the loss was entirely thier fault,

I’ve had other games, where I’ve died, but managed to bring two other ships down to low health, then watched while a shooter completely ignores them, and spends the whole game with tunnel vision, hammering away at a defender, while the two damaged ships are sat right there, helping to kill our whole team.

Again, at the end, that guy gets top damage from pounding a defender all game, and probably complaints about ‘useless teammates’, without ever realising that he could have won, but threw it away.

Stop looking at damage. There is no prize for the person who gets the most damage; the only thing that counts is winning (as a team).

Maybe you are unlucky and keep getting genuinely ‘useless teammates’. But remember, the only constant in all your games is you, so maybe you need to ask yourself if the ‘useless teammate’ might actually be you.

Any team can win. Stop worrying about getting ‘the most damage’, and start worrying about getting the damage that your team needs.
