F'ing Stars, how do they work?

Wait the ceiling blocks gapshot shots on Steel Peel?

it doesn't stop air strikes

I was actually thinking about this the other day. It seems pretty inconsistent that longshot and gapshot dont work in Steel Peel, but air strikes do? :?

Do enlighten me. 'Cause I can't.

It's illogical, yes. But it does make Steel Peel more unique.

The star rating system sucks so ******* much, I won a 1 v 1 and dropped from 4 star to 3 star, what the **** is that about? Also if you are losing a match just quit and you won't drop stars at all. Good way to stay up.

I have yet to be killed by anyone other than a 4 or 5 star player by anything other than luck.

It's known that I'm not a fan of stars. Because of the glitchiness. But I found myself with the biggest reason why I wish they would go away.

I do not want to try anything else but my main with his set endorsements.

I was thinking about getting into a Support or trying a Tank once I felt comfortable with the Assault. Now, that I'm fighting to keep 4 stars, even though I'm helping winning games (by kills, turrets, hazards and the like)... I don't want to venture out and try something new. To try to build up my rep again because of the enviable deaths I'll have. I don't even want to move my main's endorsements one iota, for fear of everything being thrown off balance.

It seems at the moment that every game i go into is populated entirely by 3 star folk, NOTHING i do seems to change it... even mvp'ing or sucking for entire games :/

hey guys, can anyone explain this one to me?

a few days back ive hit 5-star rating, havent lost a single match after that with a k/d of 3-5, a friend of mine i sometimes play with had the same, hitting 4 a day after me.

Now yesterday we joined an ongoing match, im on red he's on blue.
Not that much time left but we play and my teams horrible.
I actually managed to get some pushes in vs an extremely aggressive team but at this point in already 4-5k behind everyone else in cash.
The match finishes with us losing, i still managed to score 22 kills with 10 deaths from the start of the match (being the only guy actually trying to push in against 6 guys hurts with low lvl skills)

Regardless, im still the best player in my team kill wise and k/s ratio wise, but least valuable because everyone else had already 5k when i got it.

My friend being on the other team ad about 12kills and 6 deaths or something, at least something close to 2 k/d and his team of course won.

After the match i drop back to 4 stars and he drops back to 3 stars.

Like what the hell just happened, ive played 5 days with a 5 star rating without even losing and 5 k/d, then i lose an ongoing match with still the best k/d in the match (even in the enemy team) and i drop back to 4.
Same for my friend who actually won that game.

Now i dont really care that much about me being 4 or 5 start or whatever, but it just doesnt make any sense, ive crushed a lot of 4-5 star players in horrible ways round after round and still still stay 4 and/or 5.

Here in lies the problem with a 5 point scoring system. From the way it sounds the All-Star ranking system sounds very similar to Halo's ranking system. Thing about that is they have, I think, 100 levels.

Could the stars also be based off your leader-board rank/stats?

I was 9th on kills and about 20th on money last I checked. my first game I went from 2 stars to 5, and it's never moved since.

Some kind of uberpost about how they figure these things out would be interesting.

dont think so.
i dropped recently from 5 to 4 but my stats have only improved, even went from k/d 2.5 to 2.6 and about 50-60 ranks up on the leaderboard

The stars rating is total made up bollocks, there is no requirements it's just random. I think they should remove it altogether. Also I hate ******* dickheads on pub servers, they don't know how to ******* play or push or defend or juice. It's ******* annoying. I ******* shuriken'd my wall earlier with a knife.

Who cares...?
The Star Rating is just a rage bait in the form of a ranking system anyway. I played a game yesterday, a guy on my team was 5 stars and dropped to 4, he dominated pretty badly, and the other team goes "OMGLOLOLOLOLOOOL YOU LOST A STAR OMAGAWD UNOOBTROLOLOLOLOLO".

So... Why care? The game would be better without it if it isn't even functional.

Next update will have much more granularity between the stars. Dropping a single Star feels very significant and will less so when you see the update. Also it will help us to make sure everything is working as intended.

I'd like an option to hide my stars!

I have a two mates who bought this game during the free weekend (Oh man, they are really bad at this game atm). But whenever I try to stack with them before game-launch, I get a ton of randoms stacking at my side just 'cause I'm 5 stars, so I rarely get to play with them at all. :geek:

At second 11 or 12 pick the other team. Me and my friend do it all the time when we play.

It happens even though I do this. And sometimes my mates fails at doing so :x

Quick post illustrating a possible problem with the star system.

Joined a server with rating 3.50, picked Assassin, my team won. I was at the top of the scoreboard for money earned, and the only player to kill more than 100 bots. My K/D ratio was 15/16, with I believe nine assists.

My rating fell to 3.47.

It would appear that bot kills are not factored into the rating, which seems remarkably counter-intuitive for a game whose strategy is so dependent on the act.

Bot Kills are factored. Stars, however, rely a lot on KDR.
