Segregation of Nightmare League

Well, I don't know about that, I face Mk7's all the time and I'm only on Ace 1.
If the devs agreed to make a nightmare segregation, I hope they also segregate these "mr-high-gear-low-skill" from lower Mk's on lower leagues too.

 

There's nothing low about ace 1

 

Thanks!
I've been stuck around 3500s for a while now. It becomes increasingly difficult to climb because a lot of boats in this infamy range have a lot of leggy or maxed epic weapons with firepower that able to disintegrate my boat in seconds.
It's understandable though since all my blue items are rares.

So I still think that segregation is a good thing.

 

u forgot something, the game us dying without enought new players. there wont be enough pkayers online to set the matchmaking. while nightmare players often matched with ace players, there already a huge gap on matchmaking since player unmber decline. just do the math, 2000players in nihhtmare consider each playing an hour a day, that is 83 online each hour and 1.38 every minute. no way u can find a match.

 

I'm nowhere near NM, but I think that a separate League for players like @Weeze ( the username sounds adorable for some reason, no offense) would be pretty cool

 

You can try another ship and/or another set of weapons.

 

Who is @Weeze?

 

Your logic is flawed. You are assuming a scenario where a seperated league means you will only MM with people within your league.

 

Unless you are super blessed by RNGeus, epic items or properly leveled items that you gives you the ability to compete don't fall from the sky.

 

Its hard to imagine a scenario with MK8. I don't think it's feasible to add more slots to the current lineup. 6 weapon slots for Shooter? They wouldn't have time to fire all weapons.

 

1) The total number of nightmare league players is probably different than the number of active nightmare league players -- there are quite a few inactives sitting exactly at 4k.

2) Other than the beginning of the season, I doubt it would change matchmaking very much. (Like someone said above).

But, I'm all for more rewards, so I wouldn't mind .. Making the new cut off at 4500 would probably knock out 75% of the nightmare leaguers.

 

1. If I am not wrong, inactive NM players or those who have quit will be removed from the ranking after a non activity rivalry.

3. 4500 is too low, was thinking around 4800.

 

ATM, I don't think that's a good idea. Changes should be made slowly. I do agree to add another division to NM and up the reset to 5K. The OP stated some of the benefits of it already.

Instead of creating MK8 ships, we just need more separation between MK6 and MK7. The gap between MK6 and MK7 should be similar to MK5 to MK6.

 

I think I heard somewhere a long time ago that when mk8 came out mk7 slotpoints and such would be changed and then mk8 would be the ship that has same slotpoints as mk7. Not too sure though

 

I can't and dont want to imagine a scenario where Enforcer is given triple bubble.

 

I guess you haven’t see fleet of 2 enforcers!

 

Not really. I don't play to beat my best because there's no point unless I can be in top 50 and even that's not worth it.

I play to build all 4 of my ships to their best (at least 3 of them) and guild quests are miles better than leagues in that regard.

I only stay in nightmare for those 5 epic parts because as long as they're not green, I'm getting something worthwhile.

Legendary pieces are nice but not important because tier one legendaries can't compete with high level epics.

 

Bump.

Still facing multiple mk7's within 3.6k to 4k+ infamy.

I was push down to 3.7k-3.8k infamy. It seems that everywhere is littered with mk7s.

 

The Nightmare reset is what makes the MK7's so common in Ace I.

 

Put more thought into it...

I'm all for getting more rewards for a 5k nightmare league.. but I'm not sure y'all should be pushing for it so hard.

• If you can manage to get to Nightmare now, you're getting 60 leg parts, 2 leg pieces, and a bunch of epic pieces and parts each month.
• If they raise the threshold higher, you're going to be stuck in the new Ace 1 with crap rewards for a lot longer -> more people complaining about it being p2w.
• The only difference you'd probably see match-wise is a bigger infamy disparity. The MM algorithm already tries to match Nightmare Leaguers together, but it will still have to pull from Ace League when there are not enough Nightmare Leaguers hitting battle button -> more people complaining about MM.

I'll repeat myself here ... I'm all for getting the same or better rewards that fewer people are getting, but it has no affect on me otherwise, so idc ... I'm just warning you to be careful of what you wish for.
