Yup, I solo 95% of the time. I don't have a mic so makes communication to teams a pain in the ass. Also, due to real world constraints. Sometimes I have to drop suddenly from a match due to real world things, family, job, ect and it is easier to do so and more polite to not have to ditch a team in the middle of combat. |

I solo a lot because most of the time I can never find a squad, or the only squads available are very inexperienced players that have no idea what they're doing, and I'm just helping them get OBs. Though when I do rarely run with a good squad we're unbeatable (not only that but I get much higher averages of wp, around 3500 per match).
When the squad finder comes out I doubt I will be running solo as much anymore.
Being able to name a squad "20mil+ mics only" and have a full squad of 6 players join who all know what they're doing will be nice.
or naming a squad "heavies only" and then grouping up a squad of 5 heavies and me (the dedicated logi) to wreak havok on the opponents...
etc. |

Mostly solo tho i squad up in matches most of the time. Limited time plus many unplanned interruptions at home make squadding frustrating - when we get the squad finder i'll be in the "stock up and take a **** now because we're serial grinding skirmish + mic" squad.
But it's all good because it's good training to run solo if you're trying to build up your core fps skills and improve that battlespace spider sense - K'now, the one that tells you that maybe there's a CRG-3 two inches behind your left ear ;) |

Played solo for most of my time on dust. Being part of my old corp taught me the value of squadding up.
I recently been trying to squad up in match. Just so my points can help for an orbital. Then I just leave squad at end of match.
Its harder now because I never see the warbarge. |

Sometimes the only reason you lose a match is because your squad is the only ones doing anything. You check the board afterwards and sure enough, 7th place only got 500 wp, while almost every member in your squad got over 1200.
It's like going into a match of 6 v 16 and telling yourself that you were evenly matched. |

I've been playing since beta, and no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how to survive in a squad. I keep trying over and over again. But when I am solo, I can acquire 3000 points and die 0-3 times. When I squad, I die like 11 times and get like 250 points. I don't understand the developers need to put pressure on people to squad.
I know there are people who squad who do fine for themselves. I don't know how they do it, unless they stay behind the squad and let them take the brunt of the enemy For me, it won't matter what changes they make that push squadding on us, I'll just be forced into making less points, but I can't survive (isk wise), if I try to squad regularly. |

I always try and squad with friends from my corp (all of them friends I've made through Dust btw) but if no-one happens to be on I will solo. Even so, 90% of the time I'll join a random squad, for 2 reasons.
1- I like to help our team get any orbitals as they can be game-changing
2- "My name is elric... and I'm a logi" Just can't help but find a squad to follow around & keep them healed & resupplied. |

I solo very consistently, and have been climbing the the charts over time. If you play many public matches you can absolutely tell when you are doing well kd/r // WP wise because you are on the side with a proficient proto squad or whether its due to actual contribution. It definitely gives you better tactical decision making when you are the one that has to: drop the strategic uplinks, guard a point, provide area denial, eliminate enemy spawns, switch to AV because of murder taxis taking your guys out.
Once you are familiar with the different roles it helps you to predict enemy movements and patterns as well.
.. After re reading this it makes sense why I have so many fits and am spec'd into five weapons. Lol |

I solo 75% of the time, I'd approximate. I play with my small corporation, but many of our members (including myself) are full time students or workers in research intensive fields. As such, we rarely sync up schedules. I play about four nights a week, and about one of those every week we manage to squad up.
I run a scout fitting, so solo or in a squad the only tactical switch I make is reporting my recon results over the mic and THEN using them to track down and knife some poor red sod. Either way I'm running around hacking things like mad all by my lonesome. Though, in a battle where we have the enemy cornered, I much prefer having my squad there so I can flank more effectively.
I'm just really wary about being in a squad with random blueberries, it seems like a lot of barely useful pseudo- tactical chatter detailing glaringly obvious facts like "high ground is good" and a whole lot of whining over the comm. I tend to prefer radio silence if there's nothing tactically advantageous or situational to report. Although, we're all entitled to the occasional expletive when we get sniped or shotgunned.
Who knows, maybe Squad Finder will make it easier and quicker for us to siphon through all the blueberries to find a true-bluebro or two. |

I solo because i like to generally listen to music or watch a movie from my laptop and can't really deal with talking to people. |

I run solo in my std. gear most of the time. If I had to give a percentage it would problably be along the lines of 80% or more. Squads have their moments, but if I run with Eon players, I never kill anything because everyone is always dead by the time I get there, if I run with randoms they either don't have a mic or turn out to be little kids that I have to show how to play this game to and then they still quit. So pretty much no I don't often run around with a squad. |

Been playing solo for about two weeks while in starter fits. It has been fun and profitable. |

I would rather have mouth breathers than pissy sore-losers.
Wow you hit the nail on the head for me. I have a couple of people I can squad with that are cool with my play style and I am cool with theirs. But I don't like to squad with many other people anymore because I hate hearing how they did everything right but the rest of the people in the squad somehow let them down, or didn't kill the guy with the swarm launcher so they lost their drop ship boo hoo. |

I would rather have mouth breathers than pissy sore-losers. Sometimes the only reason you lose a match is because your squad is the only ones doing anything. You check the board afterwards and sure enough, 7th place only got 500 wp, while almost every member in your squad got over 1200. It's like going into a match of 6 v 16 and telling yourself that you were evenly matched.
I'/ve found it to be both ways. You are correct, sometimes it's amazing to see your squad has places 1,2,3,4 on the leaderboard after the match. However, I've been in squads where I had position 1, and some of the squad has left the battle if it wasn't doing well, and also, when I died and look down to rez back in, I see all of my squad is in the hills. So I get the brunt of the bad k/d while they're playing patty cake with their sniper rifles.
I can do that on my own, and die a lot less if I know I'm responsible for just me. |

100% solo these days.
I've never had anything interesting to say to anyone and I've never been told anything interesting while in a squad. |

Based on input from this forum, I went against my better judgement and played in squades last all weekend. Basicly I helped the so called squad leaders get WP. I guess about 80 percent of the time the squad leader was running solo and I assume he only created the squad to leech off the squad members. These were all team squads, not Corp squads. The other 20 percent was either 8 year olds or people that only knew how to say F*** and S**** and M***F*** and Bas* and nothing but ranting. That's not much fun.
I guess I could say I run solo 100% of the time. |

I go solo almost every time, and I usually drop out of squads pretty quick if i join. Why?:
- I'm not very good. - If I want to hear pointless swearing and random noise, I'll go to an old folks' home. - I've yet to see anything resembling strategy in this shooter. - I've weighed uplinks for 5 vs uplinks for 12 or more. - I often get 1st - 3rd place on the LB with 0/2 Kills/Deaths or some such. That's just sad, people. |

You should all get into Greedy Bastards; we could play solo in Squads!
As a Support Logi, my type of gameplay is somewhat solo, but to the benefit of the whole team. |

Yea for a while I was...
But I am reinvigorated. My dream is to have an all Caldari corporation to lead the charge in FW
And with Squad Finder, I will not be alone anymore...
I can play solo with no problem
But nothing is more satisfying than having a squad of your fellow mates guard your six and rage war with...it's just good ol fun |

When I play solo, I feel like a lone mercenary in a big battle. I'm only as good as my team. If they suck, I can't do anything about it. I don't take the battle personal. |
