They are on their way to legend rank :)

Supplies and gold boxes

Look at the K/Ds of the players at the bottom end of the score table. These are the new players. There were 2 big druggers - me and the Titan-Hammer (on the opposite team). For the first part of the battle, we were battling 1 on 1,him trying to kill me, me trying to kill him. Rest of the newbies battling among themselves. Then we switched strategy. He went after the weak players in my team, and I spawn killed in their base. New players in his team got one or two shot with my smoky, he was one-shotting my teammates. It was total carnage for the rest. And it was 5 vs 7, so I had to drug hard to keep the balance. Its only after the mission update that I play more on low ranks. Earlier, I was doing missions in no supplies battles, especially in xp/bp mode. (Anyone remember those Desert DM XP/BP on RU1?) That meant it was safe to rank up, as MUs and modules didnt matter much. We could get a steady source of crystals with just a hornet rail m2 in the middle ranks, no MUs, no module, no alterations, and reach all the way to Lt. General where m3 kits unlocked. Now to get the same income every week, we need supplies, drones, batteries, alterations, microupgrades, a good choice of hulls (heavy, medium), turrets, modules for various maps, or else be ready to get steamrolled by players who do have all that. Therefore ranking up is now something that severely reduces your competitiveness. And it gets worse in higher ranks. Better to take a few months off on your high account, wait for MU sales, and come back when stuff is MUd. Game may lose players, but this is our natural response to some of the horrid updates that the devs have released. They have only themselves to blame.

it was supposed to be released today. 30th october

server is available. I just played and completed the missions.

"Also, “Collect supplies” missions will be possible to complete by activating the required supply," This is not working today after server restart. My previous missions did not get completed, I still have the same uncompleted missions from yesterday, and I don't see any new mission system in place. Its just the old weekly system.

Don't worry and be patient. Devs are working on Hammer XT and a new animated paint. That will solve all problems with matchmaking.

Nives are you reporting these screenshots to the devs? I dont play many games in a week, but when I do play, half the times I end up in battles like this. This broken matchmaking system needs much work. 3 vs 8 is not fun :/

Nives, this is very annoying. We were leading 0 - 2 and then match ended 7 - 2. 1. Its 8 vs 4 2. Out of 4 in my team, 2 do not know how to rotate turret and repeatedly block me when I try to capture flag. 3. Their team has players 3 or 4 ranks above me. My team has all low rank players. 4. I get only 170 crystals for my efforts, whereas top guy on their team gets much more, for less than half my points. 170 crystals?? Is this how the matchmaking system is supposed to work? Is this a bug which the developers have not been able to fix even after months, or a 'planned feature'? You guys completely sidestep such issues in the vlog.
