i don't know about anyone else, but i'm completely fed up with pubstomps.
they suck to play against (redlined and farmed)
and they suck to play on (all there is to do is redline camp)

so where the hell is the matchmaking? at least put proto pubstomps against other proto pubstomps so they can shoot at eachother

Yelling and stomping your feet like a petulent child means you are probably an immature kid, so no one will listen to you.

Perhaps you should act like an adult to be taken seriously?

Or in words you would probably understand: shut up.

Told him to shut up because he has gotten irritated and sick of being stomped by vets day in and day out? What's next, are you gonna tell him it's working as intended?

going to be completely honest; you sound like you're between 13 and 16 years of age. people over that age (generally) don't talk like this.
strange isnt it?

I told him to shut up because he is acting like a child instead of handling his frustration like an adult.

Telling someone to "shut up" couched in an insult is not the mature thing to do. If anything the response is very similar to the original post.

Talk like what? Giving advise on how to be taken seriously? Or the part where I called you out for your immaturity?

Meanwhile CCP makes the WP for exiting Battle Academy 400 WP, so that means we get about 10x more than usual noobs to pubstomp. It's all CCP's fault.

Also, for the record, when you behave immaturely, you invite immaturity. If you want to have people respond with maturity, then act with maturity. Some free advise from someone that is much older than you think.

Yep, it's so predictable who's going to win a damn match now that I just use this game for target practice and lols like the murder taxi crowd.

Let me know when you are going to make an awesome shooter CCP instead of a spamfest frat drinking game.

the awful part is that, when the game is evenly matched, it's INCREDIBLY engaging and intense. things MATTER, what you do MATTERS for the entire team.
with one squad that throws the entire game off balance, since that little bit of communication means they can do almost anything they want across the map. damn shame.

if the matchmaking system is even halfway decent we'll see a LOT more of those "intense" games that end neck-and-neck

Every once in a while I get one of these. The thing is that it is usually proto geared squads on either side. So everyone else that isn't proto geared yet gets carried mostly. I'd rather really have what I do matter. I usually can't because I see the proto guys just move back and forth blobbing at each other before you can get to a point or respawn.

A matchmaking system is virtually impossible because there are too many variables. KDR, SP levels, squads, specializations, then theres the fact of how people play, a redline sniper will have a high KDR same with sniper tanks, where as a dedicated logi will have a low KDR but is very valuable, squad from a corp that works together is way better than a squad of randoms who got together in local or in the warbarge.

You're thinking far too inside the box there, you can remove most of those stats and still come up with a decent match making system.

You're thinking far too inside the box there, you can remove most of those stats and still come up with a decent match making system.

So I made a new character to try out the new domination academy matches.

It started off just me and one legitimate (I think) noobie blue dot in the war barge with me, waiting for the battle to kick off.
We stood staring at the screen and saw it was just us two vs 3 enemies. Not going to be the most exciting game I thought. Boy was I wrong.

As the game got going more and more people joined in. It started with us hacking the objective, we kept it for a while then the enemy started to build in number and took it from us.

We managed to establish a battlefront about 50-60 meters away from the objective and we fought hard.

Militia assault rifles everywhere, and everyone had low health skills as well so the match was really fair.

We took the letter a few times throughout the match but in the end the enemy team were victorious. We were just below halfway through the enemy MCC's armour as the game ended.

MY POINT about all of this is, I came away with 2000 wp and I wasnt the only one. On both teams there were 4 or 5 people on each side with around 1500+ WP. With the vast majority of the remaining players earning way over the '400' wp mark.

I think CCP needs to reconsider what they are doing with the academy. There is a ton of room for improvement.

Sorry but you're being niave. No game has ever created an ideal system. Until CCP adds content, gamemodes, and makes this game fun to play rather than just a grindfest. Dust won't have the numbers to split up the player base in a similar manner to what EVE does, which would be ideal for dust as well.

I stated nothing about perfection. Don't assume such.

pve will save us from the trash that is pvp. once pve comes 3/4 of this community wont give a damn about worthless competitive play.

Last we heard they said matchmaking system was to be deployed a little after 1.4. So mid-late September by current estimates.

matchmaking is already in the game.


basically your complains boil down to "OMG NERF TEAMWORK CCP!!!!"

read that explaination and stop raging over something you clearly dont understand.


CCPs current matchmaking is FAR supirior to the one you suggested. the only factor making it seem bad is your hatred of teamwork and the lack of total player numbers that cant be overcome with ANY matchmaking system

the fact remains; most games end up being steamrolls. any almost every single game with a full squad on either team ends up being incredibly boring for both sides.
if the current system is "far superior", why is it so terrible?

EDIT;
easy matchmaking;

1) if you are on a squad, the total allocated sp of your squad is tallied as you start a match
2) you are pitted against another squad of equal size and relatively equal total SP
3) this continues until, at most, half of each team is evenly matched squads
4) fill the remaining spots with randoms regardless of SP

this would solve about 90% of the "bad games" out there, it would make redlining almost impossible, and keep almost all games evenly matched and engaging.

the only exception would be fluke cases like multiple 12mil sp proto randoms getting assigned to one team and blueberry randoms to the other.

UPDATE;
i'm gong to tally how many games i've been in which were 4 or 5 caps caused by proto squads. i am also including games that were consistently 4 or 5 caps for either side, which also indicates bad matchmaking, even if there are no proto squads
8/9/13: 3 of 4

YES THAT WILL WORK. Not. Ill play solo and "proto pubstomp" just to show you this is a bad idea. Ill sync with my players.
Your groups SP will be my total SP so ill just be in your matchs anyways.
