    It is very sad to destroy the gaming experience of the new players, starting with the fact that these guys have small arms, and their rivals have weapons with damage greater than 1k.
    Game Play.
    Watch this Nightmare player

    This comes up literally every event lol. Didn't people say that this isn't against the rules because you can use whatever combination of ship and weapons you want?

    This is not right and should not be allowed.

    The developers did not expect these abuses.

    I do not care what happens to me, I have experience and hands and with my boat I have won even Nightmare players.

    But this is an imbalance that harms the growth of new players and should not be allowed.

    How many themes should they create for developers to realize this

    Sadly this will always be an issue until rovio decides to listen to their community. We keep telling them how easy of a change would completely fix this but they don't want to fix it it seems.

    In case you are curious, the OBVIOUS fix is to make it so you upgrade all ships at once. No more individual upgrading ships. And those who already had, for example, a mk6 but all the rest are lower, all his ships would be mk6 after they added this.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but this doesn't solve much. Ship Mk doesn't play that big of a role in matchmaking. You'll still see NM players running reduced or underleveled items to exploit the system.

    Well, in that case infamy has to be considered. The developers have to do something fast. It's getting worse out there. SMH:oops:

    Yes agree on that.. if infamy is used in matchmaking in events as well then it can be stopped.

    You have to shout very loudly in the community to be heard.

    I love this game so I take part of my time so that the things that hurt the game experience improve.

    I have been part of the community of several games. "League of Legend" "MMORPG" "Dofus" "Call of Duty"
    And you have to take care of the new population because these games must have a constant flow of players to be healthy and if the new players do not enjoy the experience in the bay, we are failing in something.

    Let's take letters about this

    It would fix the issue almost completely. Try running a mk7 with commons, still match mk7s

    The solution is so simple, just look at the symptoms. What do sealclubbers run mostly? Strong weapons, weak other items, weak ship mks. So just simply drop the gearscore value of every other item besides weapons, and drop gs from ship mks too, repeat till sealclubbers are non-existant. It's that easy.

    Increase the weight of captain levels on the overall power level. Infamy should be left out of the equation, so players can legitimately use different items and playstyles in events.

    EDIT : Let me give you an example:
    • Newbie has 1,000 gearscore for his weapons + 1,000 gearscore for his remaining items
    • Sealclubber has 1,700 gearscore for his weapons + 300 gearscore for his remaining items
    > They are both matched together, and newbie suffers because every support item class has the same gearscore as weapons, but in reality weapons always far outperform support items.

    After reduction of gearscore for non-weaponry (by 1/3):
    • Newbie has 1,000 gearscore for his weapons + 333 gearscore for his remaining items
    • Sealclubber has 1,700 gearscore for his weapons + 100 gearscore for his remaining items
    > Sealclubber has an excess of 467 gearscore and thus won't be matched with newbie.

    Yes, something like this. Training should be included in the power score.

    This is me, I am not bad against these ruffians, the battles have become a competition of seals with legendary weapons

    So close. Floating ( I'm going back to my old system because everyone is seriously getting [damnit can't find a word to replace 'piss'... hold on...] pufferfished off when I'm swearing... it's extremely annoying to be changing the color of my text OVER and OVER. Don't be surprised if I go back to raw, uncensored ship)seal clubbers. View attachment 20710

    That won't work.
    Because shooters can equip 5 weapons at your "increased value". Because shooters running all tier 5 epic weapons will now become overscored in comparison to a speeder/defender/enforcer running all tier 5 epics. So to now have equal matchmaking scores a shooter running tier 3 epics, would now get matched against speeders and enforcers running tier 2 legendary weapons because the shooters values is based upon inflated weapon gear scores, and the speeder/enforcer can run much stronger weapons and still get evenly matched because their tier 5 epic yellow and blue items don't count as much towards matchmaking values.

    So basically yellow boats would become the seal clubbers instead of shooters?

    Infamy is not the answer. MK boat level is not the answer. Gear Score has to take into account specific training for items. Items are already adjusted for that in their stats.

    I wouldn’t say that. I would say seal clubbers are smart enough to see the exploit and take advantage of the failings in Rovio’s code. I also believe Rovio has a responsibility to its players to ensure a fair game. What is unethical here is Rovio turning a blind eye to the plight of its newer players while profiting from their ad revenue and in app purchases.
