I was really enjoying Dust 514 until this "upgrade".
I don't care so much about the graphics, there are frame rate issues but that is OK as long as the experience is fun.
Now with 1.4 you are putting a nail in the Dust 514 coffin. This matchmaking is unacceptable, it takes too long and I don't want to play only against pros! How does it make these decisions if you are in a squad with different level?
I waited 20 minutes for a match and it came up with domination when I wanted to play ambush. The match completely sucked only 7 players and was complete waste of my time. I don't understand if they were pros or if my suit sucked balls compared to patch 1.3 but I was spawning like never before. Sniped at spawn over and over. I see you like HALO so much that you copied everything that was bad in HALO. Heavily armored vehicles where there is no point in attacking, being snipped like crazy at spawn (this was new to me in 1.4, I really enjoy your matchmaking algorithm!  ) .
I don't care about the new UI. I want to choose game mode like before. The number of players is decreasing severely and you are responsible for this. Hope someone gets fired for this bullshit.

I never cared to choose which game mode I wanted as long as I got to play.
I always enjoy matches with less than 16 people total. 16v16 s too much, these 5 vs 11 are way more fun.
I think Nullarbor did a great job.
Sure. Even more fun is waiting for a match. If you are in a squad you have time to type all you want before the match. Don't matter you get kicked after 5 minutes of waiting. Forget the match. What is really fun is the chat system. Wait, but there is more you can even send emails and invites. And if you are bored you can always check the DUST/Eve universe, a three dimensional multi-connected graph.

It seems clear that CCP didn't test this patch properly. So the best thing would be to revert to 1.3 while they thoroughly test 1.4 and give everybody 500.000 SP to compensate.

I don't agree with this type of matchmaking by skills or something. It is better to have some good and some bad games than all bad. You should just fill games up as people arrive as before and according to their preferences.
If you want to really improve this game, don't allow vehicles to be to heavily armored (yellow LAVs are a bad joke), punish people who only want to run people over (maybe introducing stronger AV grenades), improve maps and improve spawning so that you have some invincibility during 5 seconds or so (this to give you chances when the enemy is just surrounding your uplink).
When I started playing I got killed easily because I had bad dropsuit and weapons so I have now bad K/D ratio. Now I was improving my K/D ratio because I have better dropsuit and weapons but since you changed the rules again I will never improve my K/D. So others have improved their skills and K/D at my expense and now I will not benefit of the same.
In conclusion, if you match everyone up really nice there is no point for skills just give everyone the same suit and weapons too. |

dustwaffle wrote:So, any word from people who've played? Is the battle finder/matchmaking fixed yet?
Yes. When I logged on today there was a new patch 3.09 (about 30 Mb) and everything was going well. The battle finder only took about 5 seconds to get me in a match which was good. I was really pleased again and the matches were OK since I was adapting to new maps which look good.
Unfortunately after playing about 4 games, the battle finder stopped working (about 10 min ago). I even logged out and in again but nothing.
