    fair
    fer/
    adjective
    in accordance with the rules or standards; legitimate.

    It seems like the devs are doing what they can to minimize the benefits of manipulating your gear score by using max epics and lower level other items - which seems to fit with the definition - since you have the same strength weapons they do.

    Oh, and Mk7s have maybe 800 extra hp's, or about 1/2 the damage of your max epic weapons - so I'm not sure that's a huge disadvantage.

    Or do you mean the other definition of "fair" ...

    fair
    fer/
    adjective

    Winning like Charlie Sheen - all the time, non-stop, in every single match. One (imagined or otherwise) disadvantage, even in a small percentage of matches, is unacceptable and not fair, e.g., not Tiger blood ... See "millennial" for other alternative reality versions of fairness.

    I am neither a MVP nor a white knight, but a realist.

    And, I'd love to hear your ideas.

    So ..... do you prefer:

    a) the event-type MM (gear score/captain level/other anti-manipulation calculations, i.e., skill based), or

    b) the infamy MM system (where each match is designed to be as balanced and interesting as possible on a team-vs-team basis, with less of a focus on making all 10 players exactly the same level), or

    c) do you want something completely different - maybe each tier of ship (or equivalent captain level) has their own set of leagues? So you can rise up to nightmare as a mk4, then you are forced to start over at zero infamy as a mk5, or

    d) maybe you prefer it based on infamy, captain level and gear score? In other words, with an estimated 18,000 daily users, each logging on for an average of 30 minutes (or an average of 375 users an hour), you would prefer waiting 20+ minutes for each match in order to get 9 other players on a similar level .. or a 2-3 hour wait time if you're in the top or bottom 10% of that level of players? (Educated estimates).

    I don't use weaker items to manipulate gear score, smartass. Those rare items are all I have. I've been using them for so long. The maxed ex and blast are new, I got lucky with rng.
    Why would anyone bother to level up some rares to max just to use on 3 days of event anyway. That doesn't make any sense.

    And no, I'm not expecting to win all the time to consider it fair. I just want the game to match me with similar level opponents. I don't have time to be punching bag for ridiculously overpowered whales.
    Your comment is nothing but empty accusations. If you can't take some criticism maybe you should refrain from wondering around the internet and just stay in your safe space.

    People were crying about having to face people lowering their gear score using max epics for weapons and rares for their blue/yellow items .. So it looks like they did something about it - by looking at your highest level items and basing it on that. Now, you're crying about that. It's no wonder devs don't respond that often. It's like trying to make a bunch of 3 year olds happy.

    And, why bother with a 3 day event? Maybe because it's every week .. or 3 out of every 7 days. But, I do think it's awful that you're forced to play the optional event. You should def set up a gofundme page. I'm sure people would be sympathetic.

    Just because I have 2 t5 epic items, doesn't mean my whole inventory are full of them.
    I got those items after almost a year playing, after 6000 battles.

    If I have other maxed epics, I'll equip them all in a heartbeat. Why would I torture myself by equipping rares when the game matched me with legendary whales all the time anyway.

    The highest in your screenshots was a T2 legendary weapon - which is generally weaker than a T4 epic .. so not whales. And they pass the first one out for free in achievements ..

    Serious question. Why when people complain about the events do they assume they need to win to advance?
    I have been in matches in every event which I lost but earned equal to 1 or 2 less coins the the winner.

    What I am saying for those complaining here. Stop focussing on winning. Just do damage. Do it quickly. And go to the next match quickly. Stop playing to milk the clock for all 3 minutes. The faster the match with high damage the more likely you finish with 5 to 6 coins each game. Play matches to finish in 1 or 2 minutes.

    Point 2 for the complainers....Why do you have to play events? This is a free choice. If you play it. Adjust to the rules of the current event and act accordingly to what makes you get coins. Think of it as a coin earning event. And spend it on pieces. You will earn rare, epic, and leg pieces. And eventually have new weapons. Say thank you to the developers for the new free weapons you earn.

    Lastly, use weapons you can create high damage with but still can earn legendary weapons achievements. Did you say thank you to the developers for the new legendary blast cannon you earned? Point is. These events are stupid easy to get new weapons. And grow stronger.

    Focus on what you gain. And recognize this might be the most generous developers have been in a long time. If I had access to events when I first started a year ago I wouldn't have had to spend any money to advance. Developers are now making f2p path to advancing. Much much easier.

    That is not true, I have seen people who just started playing Battle Bay last week, not even a 100 battles and a mk1 ships. But they were up against some Nightmare players, which have a mk6, but took their mk1 Enforcer, put a t4 or t5 epic cannon with some perks on it and killed both Friends in just 1 single shot and the battle was over within 30 seconds.

    Is it the matchmaking or just the people who mess this game up for others? I think it is the people, because winning 30 to 100 battles in a row says enough. Why not fight their own kind instead of pestering newbies. Only because they are selfish and lazy!

    The only problem is the nightmare players finally using their low tier ships to try them out. Unfortunately i don't know anyone with mind control, so you will have to deal with MK3, 2 and 1 having legendaries.

    I think simplest solution is for the game to prevent low level ships. And for uniform ship level raises. This is any easy solution for developers to fix.

    To go mk2 to mk3 it raises all ships with one gold purchase.

    As for players who only have one high level ship and most under what to be done for them?
    Devs can make a raise all ships special for them.

    So...to @The Grim Repair and Miika...
    Let's stop undershipping.
    And Let's find a way to raise all boats levels simultaneously.

    This will keep events more "fair" since that's the latest popular word.

    i don't bother to look over the replies because i know 90% replies against you. use ur head man, most people on the forum are top players, newbs won't bother to chat here. if you know this event benefits those top players, why bother to post it. i been posting many fighting for newbs, barely no voice is supporting me and i ended up attacked by these top players who got benefit from the event.

    Many active and well-known members on the forums are around master and ace, which is far from top players.

    Hey to keep it 100 percent fair.... you would need friends in all levels of the game.
    I have friends currently in game who are now 3 months in. All the way to year 2.

    The newer players I have followed. Already now have their first legendary weapon.

    3 months in. 1 leg weapon. Plus tier 3 to tier 4 rares. And some epic weapons and items. Plus they have event perks.

    To make a comparison to my first 3 months. I wasnt close to this. Until I decided to spend money. It took me $1000 to equal the haul of new players 3 months in.
    There was no grind it out option for me to equal as quick of progression when I started. The generosity of the developers for new players is huge. The gifting of weapons thru damage creation is massive. And pure f2p benefit.

    The new players have it easier. Not worse.

    Straight up.
