Really? Still nothing?

2-3weeks ago i posted this...

This was an all mk4 match with 1 mk1 inside...
And now it happened again...

This time...mk4-5 match...and they put a single mk1 inside....
Do u guys even care about ur players????
No updates on floaters...no updates on matchmaking....keep this up rovio...job well done!!!

 

i'm not blaming any players actually...although its true that some mk5s float/suicide just to get to lower infamy...some mk5s just really suck or have bad equips so they can't rise in infamy..
What upsets me is that the game allows for mk5s and mk1s to match up...there should me like a boundary on infamy...
e.g.
Mk1 -inf 0-400
Mk2- inf 401-800
...etc.
Something like that so that matchmaking is somewhat fair

 

If everyone in the match is the same infamy then they are supposed to be equals regardless of boat, gear, or training.

 

if all players in a match had the same mk same gear score, it would leave everything down to skill/clutch which in my opinion is much fair-er so maybe rovio u could do something to this extent?

 

To what end? You get rewards for winning but you lose the only progression number which reflects skill. Gear score matchmaking means any newb can buy epics and legendaries and be battling Ace in a few days as if they belong. That sounds like a Battle Bay that loses it's way.

 

sorry im not catching ya
explain in english plz?

 

Gear score matchmaking can result in far more manipulation than now. Let's say you're captain level 40, main boat has a gear score of 9000, but today you want to win, so you take out your never-upgraded MK1 Defender, equip some commons on it, and destroy noobs for a while. You have a low gear score, but your skill is far greater than someone just starting out. New players get frustrated, and you've now manipulated the system for what many consider unfair game play just for higher rewards. Is this what you want? What does infamy mean at this point, if not used in matchmaking?

 

ohhhh... i see... but i still get mk5s (yes im a mk4 ok i guess that part is "fair") but most have t3 epics sometimes t4 and even leggies! so what is the current mm based on?

 

I want to start by saying I understand that matchmaking is difficult. Here is my concern. Why do I consistently face teams with more "YELLOW BOATS" than my team has? It is a pattern I do not understand. I have a Mk7 in every boat type, and it doesn't matter which one I choose, if yellow boats are present, the advantage will be on the opposite team! If I have 1 they have 2 maybe 3. I've included a screenshot of a recent matchup to show any exaggerated case, just wondering if boat type is one of the factors in the matchmaking algorithm?

If it isn't used as a factor it should be. Defenders, Shooters and FIXERS have no defense against multiple shields and Telsa disablement.

 

I beg to differ on your statement regarding infamy being the skill. If a player has played a tremendous number of games and has powerful set of weapons, he is almost always targeted first and ends up in a 1v3,4 and sometimes 1v5....if this happens very often (ALMOST 100% for me) then his/her infamy will drop and there will be a drastic disparity between his/her equipment scores infamy and skills. No one survives 1v5 and only a few can handle 1v3.
The factor would be notoriety. That is based on how many games you've played not your infamy. I get the same treatment from Nightmares that I get from Aces. Maybe I've just plagued the game to long to ever get back to Nightmare!

 

I don't believe I ever claimed to be last man standing. Sometimes, I am but that's a rare occurrence. So, I'm confused as to where you find that.

 

Perhaps this will clarify this results in a 1v5 at the start of almost all matches. Poor choice of words my bad!

 

What if you guys rearranged the xp from the crew members in order to make it faster to acquire a MK3, because skilled new players probably become frustrated for being one shoted so many times when they get to 600-700 infamy points with their mk1-2.
It's really hard to think about that, by morning that's how I thought:

Now I think that's not a good idea, I'll probably change my mind hundreds of times lol
Except for playing my favorite game being part of your job, I would not want to be in your shoes.

 

If they do this, you will be teamed up with 4 totally unskilled players, the unfriendly team will be filled with Pros and you will loose the match. Then Potchi will open up a new thread in this forum.

 

I know you, I’ve killed you a lot. You got a lot of big weapons. You hit hard.
