Carma

[|HTD| RAPTOR]

What is Carma level 1. 2. 3. 4. ??

[Ace42]

Karma is a record of how many teammates commended you for good play or politeness / cordiality; compared to how many have reported you (typically for poor play).

It is totally meaningless, has zero mechanical impact on anything, and you can ignore it.

Even good players get negative reports - because a lot of bad players don't understand the game, and thus can't correctly identify good or bad plays.
But if your winrate is negative and having players criticise you bothers you, you can create a thread here asking for advice on how to improve.

Do you mean Karma by any chance, in short, it's completely useless and still manages to annoy me at some times. Take a look here, if you want a detailed explanation:

The only actual effect karma has on your account is that you get additional karma reports/commendations per day up to a maximum of 15 each total.

I still see karma as a valuable part of the game. It allows you to send a tangible "well done" to someone regardless of language barriers.

Not denying that! I was merely talking the direct effect on the account itself, which is minimal.

Karma is a measurement of how often you play submarines or carriers.

No, it's a measurement of how toxic and/or bad you are. I don't report someone simply for playing one of those.

I report people calling names in chat and occasionally comp members of the enemy team who are polite or don't rage when they get dev struck or various other things.

And if the reds ask my team to report someone for poor play on their team, I'll comp them to be facetious and also... They did help me win, yes?

Sometimes I report the bottom people below 500xp on a loss and I always try to comp the people above 2k on a win. If you didn't get 500 xp, you didn't participate. If you got 2k, you're carrying.

If there's no karma, reporting is useless and most poor players have none. Subs and CV's do get reported, but it's not as prevalent as just reporting poor plays I think.

This, I actually make use of this system daily. Often times ive sent the max compliments. On the other side I report bad players and NPC potatoes.

Just be a content creator with a channel and free time from your empty life, be persistent and live in your parents' house even if you are already 46 years old.
Buy everything the game offers and participate in all the events...
Do something useful with your ability to play just one game...and only that game.
Spend your father's money buying everything...
Do live streams...
And show the world that your only professional skill is playing games...or only this game.

That way, your karma in the game will always be high...
Identify yourself in the game's chat...and many will caress your profile simply because you are a ^streamer^.

and be nice to the moderators.

Happy New Year.

I do not stream, I am just Polite and try my best every game! Karma is Fine!

You wouldn't believe how much positive karma I got for no other reason but being polite in chat. It's in the hundreds.

I believe the exact opposite. There was a time before CV re-work I hit 10 Karma playing exclusively Minotaur.

It's been 0 ever since the CV rework.

Rare to find bad players with good karma totals or good players with bad karma totals with the only exceptions for the latter being people who are massively toxic/unpleasant in chat. Sure, sometimes people get spite reported for sinking someone or playing the "wrong" class but doesnt change the fact that most karma is gained by playing well and most -1s are from playing poorly.

The implication of your assumption is that I am a bad player. Much appreciated.

Most of the "you have been reported" notifications I receive are for killing someone spiteful.

Nope. Not implying that at all. But the fact remains that as a general rule its the pleasant/competent people who will have high karma totals (due to the options for giving +1 being "plays well" or "nice in chat"). Pretty obvious tbh. And everyone gets spite reported at times so thats a pretty even playing field.

Its no coincidence that very good players tend to have karma totals in the 1000s.
