DevReply New Game Mode Early Impression

So theoretically speaking, by lowering my gear score

• Use slightly weaker weapons but not too weak/ OP weapons for the lower infamy leagues
• Using an mk5 tiered ship instead of mk6/mk7

I'll get easier event matchs right?
Is this considered as an exploit?

 

Hey mines become op in death match... Just imagine a shooter having 5 mines throwing them all over the map...For the first time I hate mines. We must do something to balance it.

 

That depend on the map and the mine user I guess cuz a shit miner wont catch anyone

 

I discovered what do you have to do to get 3 stars... Just do like this guy

 

Not according to the patchnotes:
"Matchmaking will use your overall power level, so feel free to try out ships and items that you haven’t mastered."
---
But yes, you can affect matchmaking based upon gearscore by adjusting your gearscore. Its abit cheeky, but raised some interesting choices, like whether a lvl 50 nitro is worth using over a lvl 1

 

Fix the matchmaking!!! My little enfo can't take all that harsh treatment xD

 

Good game bro, we met at the bay earlier today, first time though

 

They Had 2 FIXERS!

 

That's IRONICALL!!

 

The problem you have is I believe the level of ship is taken into account so what you want is high weapons low ship, what you have is high ship low weapons! This means you won't do much damage whereas others will. Hope that makes sense!

 

Here is what happens when two fixers play perfectly together with the team. Our team had only 1 death in the full 5 min battle.

If the 7-10 Defeat and the 6-10 Defeat matches (where you got 2 stars) were instead victories, you would have gotten 3 stars. You get 1 star for victory. Contribution stars: 1 for above average contribution, 2 for double average contribution (I think in shooter's case that contribution is pretty much all damage)

 

lol why would you do that?

 

2 stars...ouch

 

Its fine if you use low tier ships. Besides I don't see why can't you do it. The developers can't ban you for playing what you ship want. Its not like youre going to lose infamy or something.

 

If the developers aren't going to increase the chance of fixers, speeders, and enforcers getting stars. They should then decrease the shooters and defenders chance.

 

I really like the new update, but I can see some possible problems. Shooters obviously benefit the most because of the amount of stars they can obtain (making for harder, better, faster shooters -yikes-). Also, suddenly I wish I hadn't upgraded all of my ships, or scrapped all of my rare weapons. It would be fun to go back and use an MK1 with some rare weapons. I'm not worried tho. This is just the first round.
Otherwise, WELL DONE DEVS. and Thank You.

 

You rang....?
