totally Idiotic, the Devs should have a look.

Saw this on Facebook group.

 

absolutely ridiculous, Slow and fire shouldn't count that much

 

Lol wow. He MAYBE hit someone once resulting in a kill lol and 3 stars..lol wtf

 

Devs have already said they plan on adjusting star calculations next update.

 

Don't worry, I think contribution is getting nerfed in the next update. (I'm not a dev)

 

I have a funny one aswell Current system is very "gameable", I do not miss playing Fixer cause man does this game not recognize the difference he made for us. Oh well no complaints, double stars for a game where I didnt matter at all Gg!

 

Gotta love Flare Gun!
How much more damage was actually dealt? Guessing around 30% of the 12k?

Oh well Ill enjoy it while it lasts I do feel for the guy doing triple my damage and 20k healing also though!

 

Just a thought, but I feel it would be really helpful to have certain damage statistics displayed at the end of matches such as fire damage done and the overall amount of damage you contributed to you and your teammates through setting your enemies ablaze. If anything, just to assure you that using that your fire weapons are contributing more than just extra stars ;P. Oh, maybe even add red damage numbers above enemies to indicate the additional damage added by your burn. I feel like it wouldn't be too difficult, since it seems like, from what you said, that info is recorded and used for star ratings. What say you?

 

Yup, and Damage per weapon...

 

well, what about this one? giving out 2 stars while dishing more than double the damage of the 2nd highest player.
I know most of my damage came from using Big Torp and Berta which didn't benefit the Fire/Canon combo.

Damage is no contribution in the end?

 

True.

On another note, recently I've been getting so many cool ideas while thinking about how much potential this game has. For instance, instead of just having talents that grant X damage or X percentage damage, allow us to make tactical choices -choices that reflect our own individual playstyles- between some cool effect to the weapons like:
Firebomb now does 20% of overall burn damage upon impact, but that damage is taken away from the burn DOT / Firebomb burn damage starts off 10% weaker, but once the burn duration is 1/2 done, the rest of the ticks deal 20% more damage.
Big Torpedoes now travel 20% faster, but now deal 15% less damage / Big Torpedoes Impact Radius increased by 20% but now deal 15% less damage
Cannon CD increased 10%, but damage is increased by 10% as well / Cannon CD decreased by 10% but damage is decreased by 10% as well
Swift Torpedoes now deal 20% less damage, but ricochet off walls up to three times.

Just a few ideas. This would bring individual customization from player to player, allow us to make more meaningful choices when deciding which crew talents to pick, and keep things fresh.
Well, I j ust wanted to share my ideas, what do you guys think?

Also, pay no attention to the specific numbers I used in my examples. I just used them to help paint a better picture.

 

The thread is called totally idiotic the devs should look at it. Within an hour an actual dev took the time to do just that and show it isnt. Having Come here from quitting a zynga mobile game where community concerns are either ignored or copy paste response from a 'community manager' I just wanted to take a minute to say props to this dev team.

 

Oh a sneak peek

 

From what I understand, the update is in the advanced/final stage/s.

 

I'm hoping we're about two weeks out. Then they release details and then a week or so for apple to do what they do

 

I looked it up and I'm happy that I use android! (I can list many, MANY reasons why I don't use Iphone) because @Rango8 is right in his week for update processing at apple. It is a security scan which google doesn't do on the play store! It is technically more dangerous on the play store but just don't be dumb and you'll be fine. There's my life advice for the month...
