Ranting thread

Idk, rant about event mode here I guess

So I just played a game in which the enemy team had a 9k gear score and 8.5 k gear (with 4K infamy and 3.8k infamy) score, and their lowest gear score player was 6.5k. Meanwhile on our team our highest gear score player had only 7.9k gear score with our lowest gear score (me) having only 5.8k. Our highest infamy player (me) had only 2.8k infamy. Both gear score and infamy was unbalanced. So I just wasted a ticket and have to wait 30 minutes to play again. How is this fair also I’ve gotten like 5 games like this and I’ve only played 9 games...

An mk3 enforcer made a joke out of me a couple matches ago... and he had a good fixer backing him up. Their defense was really good and my team couldn't find any way around it! Still we somehow managed a draw, which is good I guess... but I got 2nd last damage

I see where this thread may be going. People rant a little out of hand and it gets locked like all the others...

 

I’ll try to not go overboard

And then here’s a game where the enemy team literally sat at spawn and spammed us to death with torps and mortars literally making it impossible to get close to them

WOW this game is so fair

 

There is definitely something flawed in the "team making" algorithm. We've heard on multiple threads about each battle is matched by gear score. However from those 10 players, there in something in the way teams are broken up that can makes games completely lopsided. My theory is they use Infamy to even out each team.
For example, all 10 players have 8000 gear score
Team 1: infamy: 2800, 2500, 2400, 2300, 2200 - total infamy: 12,200
Team 2 infamy: 4000, 3500, 1800, 1700, 1200 - total infamy: 12,200
I personally found that I would rather be on TEAM # 1. Because that 1200 infamy guy is going to get slaughtered and once you are down one ship to respawn, it essentially is just a downward spiral in deathmatch and hard to recover if you have one weak ship.

 

In that game the enemy team had more gear score as well as infamy.

 

I asked for tasty french fries, but they sent me the cold ones
Sorry is this thread only about the game?

 

I betya the devs only added that damn frost perk to f*** with players

 

Check out this battle I just played. I waited 30 minutes for a tdm ticket to play this battle. Our team had zero chance to win one guy gave up after 4 of our ships went down in the first 30 seconds. I’d say it was a ridiculous waste of time, but at least I got one star in the loss. Devs: there is something seriously wrong with matchmaking when we are put into battles this lopsided. See the totals for infamy and gear score for each team in picture.

I am playing my full gear score. No reduced weapon strengths.

 

That sucks No idea why it happens either...

 

My event rant is that it is so much harder to get stars than it is in normal games, you can have a comparatively similar performance but end up with 1 less star so often. Getting all 3 stars is incredibly difficult.
Also it's annoying how you can't just go directly to a new game, you always have to 'exit to bay'. The whole thing seems deliberately set up to make it impossible to complete. With all due respect, given how short the event period is, if you have time to get all the boxes you must have very little else in life!

 

People are stoooopiiiiidddd.

Have won very few matches out of many

 

This is a prime example that's just happened. Exactly what more did I need to do for 3 stars?!

 

I checked Infamy comparison in my lop-sided matches as well, and it doesn't appear that's the key either... the idea was to use gear score...only. if event Matchmaking is as overly complicated as regular matchmaking, then they've got a lot of tweaking to do. If gear score was not working, then fix gear score... no other bandaids and duct tape are going to make a gear score matchmaking better without fixing gear score... if that is the perceived issue. When I see balanced gear scores in a match, it's competitive.. so it looks ok from what I can tell....when it's balanced.
