  • BB6's in GB2 for the Event

Is it just me, or is this completely unfair? Personally, they should be removed anyway...

Could we get a patch to remove BB6 from GB2?

At the moment, we have a few people running around with them to win the event; you can't compete if you can't get in the room with them?

I personally don't have the time to actually do the event, so i'm practicing in my BB6 when I see one of them and if not, grind with my dunkerque.

I might be Heat, but your assumption of BB5s is also like my assumption of BB6's (your previous post, where you said it can be done, BB5s are skillful and can sink a BB6). A BB6 should be wary of a competent BB5 in game and vice versa, but what if a player has both? Then its kinda unfair to a skillful BB5 player who don't have a BB6 yet.

Being on top of the food chain doesn't mean they have the right to stomp everyone in an event created equally for all, right? This event was created for all by SDE and I think this event was made to give everyone an equal chance to win. The right that BB6 players earned and you are talking about imo, ends when you step on the rights of others to win as fairly as they can.

Looking at the current standing (as of this reply) in the top 8, only 1 is a BB5(well I've been seeing him in his Alsace) and the rest I'm pretty sure of the top 4 are using BB6's, it can be done, but how many hours do you think the Alsace has played compared to the others below him which are probably using BB6s too?

Lets say you are in your BB5, Gt is in his Nebraska (assume that the team is even, aa's are good, cvs are competent, etc...) you two are both in the upper tier of BB players but Gt has the ship advantage due to the Neb's range, so you have to skillfully rush/move/guide your ship to get in range while all Gt has to do is stay back and use the Neb's advantage in range. Even if you have a couple of BB5s rushing all Gt has to do is to maneuver away from you while shooting at the same time.

It's not so much the bb6 players fault. they are just doing what you expect.
I think it's just a poor event that has little reward for lower teir players. My only complaint as to the bb6 is that every bb6 driver is in their bb6 and it's making it far less fun to be in a bb1-4 than normal.

Who gives a blue bloody f*ck what ships people play in a GB2?

I can't, honestly, believe you are complaining about this. If people don't want to play against the BB6, they can leave the room and join a different one. They leveled to the ship and they should be allowed to use it.

Hell, if there were no BB6s, then why not argue that L2s are too powerful or this event is unfair to KM.

Come on, Lukas. This reaks of you just not liking the guy in first right now.



Winner of this (thread without any sence) is Gtdawg. Truth

I hope we wont have a "Quickfix" :) about this.

Remove something from a game mode because you can't compete with it? Seriously?


That is unfair.

well...I play BB5, at least most of the time, but Im not in top 8 anymore, did few games on Nebby to find out I will have to use it several days just to get used to it(not like I dont need that with L2 after playing last month with IM and Richelieu)

For now, looking through the charts and looking at the date, I have no idea who will be able to survive this for whole month... No one has I guess. Its hell a lot of time-in summer... I for example hardly, as a working person...no chance to stay in touch with all the students and children(with kind of stupid parents to even let em sit whole days on computer playing this game, which is 18+ too) around.

I'm thinking any player that you would be worried about in a BB6 would be someone that you'd worry about in a BB5.

And, I have been killed more than a few times by multiple rushing BB5s. I don't steamroll every room. But, I do get 200k+ attack every room.

There are more than enough people with more than enough smokes to find a way to counter-rush a BB6 and kill him. It just might take...gasp...teamwork.

As for BB6 and this event, again, I don't think that is the real problem with this event. The problem is there are an extremely small group of players that could even think about trying to compete in this.

I mean, hell, I freaking won a leveling event last year...and I'm not even in the top 20 after 6+ hours of grinding in a Nebraska.

It is a day in to the event and, from the looks of it, I'm going to have to be content with item drops and the month of premium (the conversion rate that was nearly 10% for me last night was a nice prize).

When I'm frustrated and giving up on a grinding event...that's quite disappointing.

bb6 should be removed from gb2 regardless of event or not, it was bad with 2 bb6, now that we got 4 per battle it sucks.

they are just too good for that all welcome kind of gameplay that gb2 is. furthermore autostack fubars everytime there are sbb/scv involved, so id rather see em gone from the autostack rooms completely as there is no SDE employee that can fix the autostacker, or code something else for what matter.

Who says I can't compete with it? I'm saying that its unfair having a single BB6 in a room going and farming everything.

@Gt

If I really didn't like someone who is winning, I would follow them around in my Nebraska and stop them. I've got better things to do.

The point I am trying to say is, having a single BB6 with support against a bunch of BB5's is far easier than against a single BB6 with support.
