Trying to keep my sanity low level....

Yeah this really sucks, and with such a big influx of new players, it's going to be hard to actually retain any of them.
The game itself is definitely not pay to win at all, and the progress used to be fairly linear (I was at 700 infamy as mk2 and it was still only mk2 and 3s). The issue is there were a lot of people purposely losing infamy to play against easy players, but ALSO there are so many more players, that even the lower level ones have had time to upgrade their ships. The infamy ladder is WAY too condensed now. We need to have it pushed out some.

 

1. I've had TWO seven game winning streaks over a three day period in the past WEEK!!! See attached SS. And I know I've had more wins and losses like that... but only had to go back four days in my log to show this absurdity.

2. The chances of 7 in a row in a true 50/50 coin flip is a 1 in 128 chance. And yet I did that twice over about 60 games in a three-day period!!!! Plus I had a six game losing streak between those winning streaks. This is proving my point. Over about 60 games, I had two 7-game winning streaks and one 6-game losing streak. This is way outside standard probability in a true 50/50 game.

3 - Are you showing my streaks against others' streaks on the graph? Or what we would expect to see of my streaks v the total number of games I've played? I'm not sure what you're trying to show with it.

ps - I'm pretty sure I lost about 9 in 10 games last week when I dropped 2-300 infamy in an hour. My log doesn't go back that far, but I bet if you actually looked, you would see it.

 

Variance, people, variance

 

Well

If it was EXACTLY 50/50 then nobody would be rising in infamy, we'd all win 1 match and lose 1 match and we'd all be at 100 infamy no?.

The matchmaking puts you in matches where it thinks you have a 50/50 chance of getting a win, to actualky secure a win or not is at the end in your hands, yourmentality, skills and items.

 

I was at 2k Infamy before the global release and now im at 1.4k infamy the matchmaking system before was actually better

 

It hasn't changed since the beginning....

 

Maybe you're right and im just confused, Just frustrated by losing all the time

 

True.
Upto 1000 infamy it's crazy with so many ships with more than 2 epic items or lvl3 rare items and even mk5 in as low as 6-700 infamy makes it annoying I too cannot break 1000 infamy due this and the fact the good items which I want r hard to get.
Rather than it being on ship based the rewards in the game should be based on leagues rather than wholly on dmg done so that it will promote players too move onto better league to get better rewards rather than tanking infamy

 

If you want to break a loosing streak brother, totally stop playing alone if possible. Always play in fleet with a good partner. Believe me it helps a lot. Also if you fleet up with a player who currently is having good matchmaking, that sometimes helps too.

 

Had a 14 win streak last night, broken by a bad Chill Zone decision. It sucked, I was one away from the achievement.

Not saying anything about win chances, I just wanted to blurt that out somewhere.

 

When the game simply hates you

 

You're running triple mortar, two of which are long range. I hate you more than the game does

 

Not my fault the game only give me mortars to shoot with

 

=> for fun/test i create a 2nd account... with my 5K fight in my main account i jump to 700 infamy, (first of my league a green reward... useless) at mk2 and fight against mk3,MK4,MK5, even Mk6...
as an old player i can fight them (i'm really good now at leadshot, and know well the map.

But for starting player with grey/green item with no T2 (captain can't reach T2 soon, except canon) fighting these monster must be a fucking bad joke.
lots of new player will certainly leave game really quickly, it's impossible for them. except if they pay...

But Rovio lost lots of money since 2013 (end of lead with angrybirds) and perhaps this game is just a moneymaker waiting for their next game?

 

Dude there's a difference between AVG and mode for this situation u need to find the mode not AVG as AVG depends highly on good players infamy there r lot of Mk4 who reach close too 3k infamy which boosts. The avg

 

If the sample distribution is skewed, then the median is used for statistical analysis, not the mode. The mode is hardly ever used in statistical analysis because it almost never represents the vast majority of the population. The median, however, does account for skewing of the data because it resistant to outliers. But as Miika has stated before, the infamy distribution for mks are approximately normally distributed, so the mean can be used, accounting for variance and such.

 

Basically he plays artillery. My personal record is 14000+ damage and defeat. I wanted to throw my phone out the window but my supernatural self-constraint helped me not to do so.

 

Don't you have a sniper cannon or something?
