Confrontation balance

People have been crying and blaming relics for the fact they lose-cant get uranium-global warming etc, for ever.

The reality is that relics dont mean much, its all about experience on what beats what and tactics-counterplay.

The above is stated for clanwars, now imagine a mode with powerscore limitation that gives relics inherent disadvantage because of that.

This doesnt mean that crossout is excused for its pay to win item fusion crap, but given that me and the clans i have been to have won more CW battles against full relic fused teams than i can remember, i boubt its the fusions that are solely responsible for losses.

When you post a video of you mopping the floor with a guy who is using relics while you’re using epics, I’ll believe you.

This is a screenshot of a win with a previous clan of mine against current 4th clan in leaderboards.

3k out of those 4k in my score and the win on the first match has been achieved with me using double heathers, a legendary weapon. Against one of the top clans of the game in proper clan wars.

Its not any achievement or anything, if you ask most of the guys in silver+ will have plenty of similar proof, i just showed it since you asked :slight_smile:

100% man +1 GG

unrelated to your reply:

Even top clans don’t use all relics.

But people that never played up that high can only assume they know what they are talking about.

I guess Legendary is almost like Epic. Glad that’s settled.

I’m going back to bed.

Not sure what your point was intended to be but the facts are epics are all that is needed for confrontation…and plausible you can use some specials.

Thank you,

Thats usually the issue, a lot of people talk for things they dont know of, or even worse, think they know of.

And yes, right now there are a lot of clans in top 60 that have setups with at least one legendary.

I will freely admit that I haven’t performed particularly well in confrontation. The four person teams really changes the game, and I don’t have much CW experience to pull from.
I really need to remind myself constantly to stay with my team, and predict the strategy of the opposing team. I like the challenge, but playing confrontation during peak hours makes me realize how much more skilled truly competitive players are. I need to put in more time to get a feel for it, and probably need to rebuild a lot of my rides.

I speak for all of us when I say your consistently positive outlook is both refreshing and appreciated

You normally like to march to the beat of your own drum…but if you want to improve in confrontation, I will gladly pair up with you some and offer suggestions while we roll off wins

I think this is also one more thing people are having a problem with.

When I play video games I want to be the hero - I want to feel bad @$$.

When you play a lot of mid to low tier PvP missions this is easily achieved.

But now, confrontation comes a long and reminds everyone that they don’t really know how to play this game and the are not the hero.

That’s a hard pill to swallow, and I get that, but this is the new reality.

Yes, its mini clan wars so it does what clan wars does and even worse to en extend because you can join solo.

At least clan wars forces a 4 team which enforces some sort of organization, like someone carrying doppler for instance.

In modes like confrontation if you join solo you may very well not even get that.

So its essentially random matches without the bots+mini clan wars, which is a combination of what people have been asking for.

If i dig i may find the post i made where i tried to explain to people that most of them cannot handle what they ask for, because i foresaw exactly what you described.

The random matches chaos allows a lot of them to do things in ALL powerscores that in any decent clan war they would be toast before they reach the enemy.

Now its “confrontation sucks and relics need ban or nerf or i quit the game” all over the place.

I did the same when they first announced it.

“be careful what you ask for”

But back then everyone was still cheering on the change.

Yeah, they want to turn it into easy mode PvP missions.

No mater the amount of restriction are add you will still have a META. And they will still complain about it.

Min/maxer’s will min/max any system they have.

I’ve seen you in PVP matches, and I know you’re quite skilled. But I fear I’d probably drag you down at this point.
Nevertheless, next time I see you in game I’ll add you to my friend list.

I’ve got a thick skin, so I don’t mind enduring a long losing streak, as long as I feel I can learn from it. Currently I still feel like I’m improving, but now I feel like I have a lot more to learn than I thought I did.

I dont pretend to be the best but I am sure some simple things can be shared to speed up the learning curve. I am not worried about the results but I am confident we can play at a respectable level nonetheless.

My quad sledgehammer build has legendary shotguns because I said so.

My Racing wheels have come to realize they are actually hovers trapped in rubber and rims, and will now be identifying themselves with the adjective “Epic.” Please respect their right to be who they are on the inside, and call them by their new name, “Icaris Von Spooder VII.”

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You have to have legs to be called a Spooder!

Also, they brought back weeklies, so I’m not as bitter about Confrontation anymore. I also win about 1 in 3 games with my meta-defying builds. So not as bad as I had feared. But I have to solo queue for variety of specializations, otherwise I get stacked against 4-person competitive clans with mics and fused relics and/or legendaries, and things end poorly.
