Ah, well it is a new battle mode that is in testing. It is also only T9 & T10 at this time. As I understand it, only a small fraction of the player base comes to the forum, so the majority of the player base probably hasn't stumbled onto it yet.

1,408 neptunes_wrath Members 2,478 posts 509 battles Report post #8 Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) my question is where are all these 43% TIER TEN ship players coming from...??? I aint great.... even my in game account is OK but 90% of my team, and the red team consists of 43% players... some with 5K battles..... not a big deal when it does not really matter as much cause AR does not have a bearing on WR, so its not really a rant... but wth man,... how is ANYONE THAT BAD at 2, 3 4K battles and playing tier ten ships??? Maybe its me but I would not want to be that bad at a team game... and cause more team losses than wins... and its funny how one game can be five on five and the very next game its 12 on 12, then 4 on four... 8 on 8 10 on 10 and back to 5....

300 [IND8] Shannon_Lindsey [IND8] Members 455 posts 7,652 battles Report post #9 Posted October 2, 2018 The problem is players can't earn their legendary mods in this game mode. I want to see this mode take off, mostly because it would help tier 8 matchmaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,930 [A-D-F] Doombeagle Members 1,958 posts Report post #10 Posted October 2, 2018 Probably because the mode does not count towards the legendary upgrades, which is the current tier ten hook. Had they been thinking, they would have made it tier 8 and 9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

692 [LOU1] ExploratorOne Members 3,779 posts 10,352 battles Report post #12 Posted October 2, 2018 There is a chance that they didn't want too many players playing it. Sort of the next level after beta testing. Guessing they would want players more "serious" (Tier 10 owners) than PTS, but not the entire group of Legendary Mod grinders. It was presented as a test when it was first released and it is kind of a fun way to build T10 skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its me but I would not want to be that bad at a team game... and cause more teal losses than wins... They might have gotten T10 ships for the Anniversary SC - that was me last year. I ground to the Minotaur and Des Moines, played my one battle in each and got insta-deleted. In my case, I parked them in my port for months and only took them out in PvE. I would occasionally try a Random battle, but I was lost in the meta and completely useless. In their case, they probably kept playing them. Now, I am not especially good, but I can contribute and am getting better. Arms Race is a good way for me to practice driving my T10's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A poor test if you ask me. I like the mode though. Edited October 2, 2018 by Sovereigndawg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
