Advantages of Low-Rankedness


 Share

Recommended Posts

Greetings!

This is the amazingly confusing, bewildering, enigmatic, paradoxical, nonsensical, and ingenious RIP crystal boxes.

I am here to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of being low ranking. 

 

1.

Everything is cheaper.

 

You start out with 500 crystals. You get 200 crystals for joining a battle, and 200 crystals for your first purchase. This adds up to 700 free crystals. This may not sound like a lot, but I will explain how it is. 

An XP combo (railgun/hornet) costs 600 crystals, and you can get it at rank gefreiter, for free and with 100 crystals to spare...

An M0 railgun costs 250 crystals. An M3 railgun costs 218, 300 crystals. 

An M0 Hornet costs 350 crystals, and an M3 Hornet costs 158 300. An M3 XP combo costs 376,600 crystals. Obviously, you earn a lot more crystals in high ranking battles because the battle fund is higher. And also, M3 Railgun and Hornet have better performance than the M0 counterparts, (loading, speed, not to mention looks) but they are also fighting other M3 combos with much higher performances. So, it is relative. 

Also, some interesting math:

600 = 37600

/6      /6

100 = 62 766

*7       *7

700 =  439 366

/700      /700

1     =  627

So, the free crystals you get at Recruit, are equivalent to 439 366 crystals at M3. And every 'M0 crystal' equals 627 M3 crystals. That is quite a lot.

With these 700 free crystals, you can buy any combo available at Gefreiter, and a lot of M0 combos.

Also, if 1 crystal equals 627 crystals, is the battlefund at M3 627 times bigger than M0 battle funds? Nope, it is waay less. 

 

2. 

Everyone else is an *****.

 

Ok, not everyone. But a lot of players start out very i*iotic (myself included). I have seen players who don't know what to do when they get an enemy flag. Almost all of them don't know how to turn their turrets. They are terrible at aiming and driving. So good players who has been playing for a long time have a massive advantage, in that they know what turrets and hulls are good, and they know how to drive and shoot. 

Whenever I play, I always have D/Ls like 5.00 or more. It is ridiculous how much better I am in low ranking battles than in high ranking battles. At low ranks the most common combo is a twins/ wasp, easily blown to bits by my Railgun. I admit that I am an extreme seal clubber. 

This reason is fairly self explanatory.

 

3. 

Guns preform very similar.

 

On one of my main accounts, I have M2 railgun. I admit, I notice absolutely no difference between it and my M0 railgun on this account, besides looks. 

It is like this with many turrets, but definitely not all. Probably a lot of people will disagree with me on this. 

 

4. 

Less druggers/buyers.

 

At low ranks, you receive a very tiny daily bonus. And also you are very new to the game, so you have a much smaller reserve of supplies. Buyers are very rare, since you are so new to the game. I very rarely see druggers at this rank. If there were druggers or buyers, they would rank up much faster, and I wouldn't see them often at low ranks. 

 

Disadvantages:

 

1. 

People are more mean.

 

At my rank, I see a lot more players on my team, being very jerky. They try to push me off things, knock my shot off, particularly when I have the flag. Also, there are players who think they are good, when they are really bad. This is extremely annoying. A couple minutes ago, I had this shaft ordering us around, when he was on the bottom of the list when you press tab, with 4 times less points than me. 

 

2.

No one knows how to play.

 

If you are in a battle, you can receive very little help from your friends, since they don't know how to play. Battles seem to be overpopulated by mults, except for oftentimes they aren't mults, just idiots. (I finally figured out what a mult is!)

 

3. 

Less gold boxes!

 

Catching gold boxes is so fun, it is one of the main reasons I play. 

 

4. 

No clans

 

Virtually no clans will accept you.

P.S.

A gold box to a low ranker is like 627,000 crystals to an M3 tanker.

You forgot one thing to add: Proffesionals playing on alternative accounts.

Many players learn to combine turret and hull abilities and to turn the turret as . I have alt account, and I must say that I win every battle with it, with my m0 full-MU smoky+hornet.

On my alternate account corvettesarecool I literally went 42-2 in a battle using firebird m0 . I was a recruit at the time. I got so many people telling me to leave because i was ''too good''. One guy called me space aged. Too bad at the time I had no idea how to take screenshots, I would of showed you the stats no question!

Jk ok. And your rank is low.

A joke isn't supposed to sound serious

My rank is medium

For you It's just been so long since you were my rank

I honestly think noob should be judged by skill not how long you've been playing
