category Ideas for Matchmaking System!

[Frylock 1,617]

OK I'm tired getting match making like this.. It is not ok to have low ranks such as these in teams because now it puts a huge strain on balance and makes matches like this one, one-sided. At This Point I'm very disapointed..  this can be seen as a ball in chain to higher ranks too that are experienced.

You'll give it that long?

And what's up with your modules?  36/15/15?   My alt account had better modules at Marshal.

yeah there could always be new changes in the mean time. plus i rather upgrade my hulls and turrets first, to me upgrading protections really doesn't effect my game play it just depends the skill of the player. I can still make decent kills per match with low protections. ( Oh and yes I will give it that long because to make these types of changes if planned, would take time to rework a system)

Pretty sure upgrading modules isn't a requirement.

Same. I didn't bother to buy and upgrade modules till I had M2 equipment, and had a few extra crystals left over.

Bought my first modules in 2017 and after early 2018, I stopped upgrading them for 2 years.

I agree with you but also the same thing with the GS score.... I have a GS of 9999 and im just a commander

I honestly think GS score should have an affect in matchmaking.

For instance, one of the matchmaking pools MysticBlood gave was General-Legend. It would be nice if the game matched you against people with similar GS scores that are also within the rank pool of General-Legend. So if you have 9999 GS and are a Commander, it'll match you against people who have like....between 9500-9999 GS AND are within the ranks of General and Legend.

Obviously, if there are not enough people in the matchmaking queue that fit the requirements, after like, 1 or 2 minutes of searching for a battle, only then should the game match you against people who have lower GS scores, but are still in between the ranks of General and Legend.

As you reach the higher ranks MUing those modules would be very useful...

True XD
I'm a Generalissimo now and I only have 2 MK6 Modules and 1 Mk5 Module equipped.

basically As I mentioned before you don't have to max protections if you think you can do good in a match just depends the tactics a player uses in a battle. so it really just depends.

Yes skill depends a lot but just 1% prot may as well make the difference between you capping a flag or not... well in PRO battles at least.

[Frylock 1,617]

Even with low protections I can still do good in battles. Even when I am at a disadvantage. (Just Finished this Match Btw XD) LOL this was one of the fewest decent matches i got all day just 3 like this, and the rest full of low ranks

 Nice!
I didn't buy a Gauss module cause back when I was in the market for modules, Gauss didn't exist yet lol.


For me I got:
Railgun - 31% (Kinda feels like a mandatory thing to own since the dawn of time for some reason )

Shaft - 31% (Useless against Heavy Capacitor users)

Thunder - 27% (idk what my third module should've been. It was either this or Ricochet)

To be honest, you really only need protection modules if you're using short ranged turrets and need to get deep into the enemy territory to deal some damage. Otherwise, I honestly think you're fine with the modules you have, considering your two most used turrets, Railgun and Gauss, primarily use the environment around them for defense.

lol I don't like to camp lol I use railgun too charge in if im using death Harold but sometimes ill use large caliber rounds if too many opponents has rail protection on.

Yes XD
_{Just kidding lol}

On a serious note, I decided to follow the trend and buy the module against the most popular turret in the game XD......

Yes as supplies 2x the effect of your tank MUs don’t affect much the outcome of your score in MM...

Yeah I got it in my last kit, with Gauss and mammoth right after the mk7 update (luckily had enough crystals collected for a looong time lmao)... though I wish I had Falcon at times too this is very useful.

I understand that marshals and commanders can end up in all Ls match but why Major general. Even after leaving and entering the MM again & again I still ended up in Ls hell

Ahhhhhh, gotcha.
By the way, I saw your K/D and its pretty impressive, considering that around 40-60% of people use Railgun modules in matches (at least from what I observed).

[alkyng 3,080]

I agree with you guys, protection isn't a big requirement, I have my 3 protections Mk6 30% (Railgun, Thunder, Gauss), I think it did what I need so it's sufficient. I don't want to get killed one-shot by Gauss, or 3 shots by Thunder.. so my protections did what I need.

Tbh, I really want to upgrade them, and I will change Thunder to Magnum.. as Magnum is OP and annoying together. But I honestly couldn't get enough by my turrets, every time I upgrade a turret or hull, I feel like I want more, so last discounts I upgrade Smoky. And the upcoming discounts I want to upgrade Vulcan and to buy Incendiar-band (as I have Heat Immunity in my Viking). So I have a lot of things thinking about to buy, I don't think I will destroy my wishes to buy a certain turret or Augment, just to buy protection from something.

But tbh, your 36/15/15 protections combination, is a farce! lol

Yeah, Falcon is really useful.......and annoying lol. Before Striker, Railgun was my secondary turret and ever since I reached the ranks where Mk6 and 7 equipment are unlocked there are times where my railgun only does like 300 damage to enemies XD

Same here. But instead of Gauss, I got Shaft protection lol.

Actually, you do have a point. In Pro Battles, there are usually less players, and the matches tend to last longer, giving time for opponents to "get to know" how you play and such.
