Why put 2 groups of players on one team and have all NPC corp players on the other team?
Surely it would make sense to put 1 group on one side and 1 group on the other?

I have just played DUST for 2 and a half hours and we got our asses handed to us, every. single. time.
Each game was extremely unbalanced and I was on the losing side for EVERY game.

Have the new players play the new players and the veteran players play the veteran players.

I like to play solo but am absolutely sick to death of the fact that there is no matchmaking in this game whatsoever
and don't like to me and say there is because there isn't.

Or is the player count really that low that you can't physically place even teams against each other?

EDIT: I've worked it out, the matchmaking works backwards. I'm in an NPC corp and over the course of 2.5 hours
I had less than 10 people across all my teams who WEREN'T in NPC corps.

What DUST does is it searches for the best players available and puts them against the worst players available.
Otherwise why would it put 2 stacked groups on one team and all NPC players on another?

It's not just a coincidence, the matchmaking works backwards. Think about it, when you're in a squad who do you play against mostly? Randoms! Is there more chance of there being another squad on your team than the enemy's team? Yes!

But like I said it could be because nobody but experienced players play this game anymore because all the BS has scared new players away.

Yeah...

Game mode?

Well currently the matchmaking system is based on your region and your game-mode selection, along with whether or not you are in a squad. Your corporation status (Player, NPC, and leaderboard position has not effect on his game matchmaking system.

Speaking of playerbase, I feel sorry for you because you will probably be flooded by people calling you a stupid worthless noob.

Thing is I don't play solo because I'm hoping to play scrubs.

I'm not asking to play scrubs. I'm asking for even games.

Some of the best games I've played (on other shooters) have been teams full of new players because they're not worrying about KDR, they're all on an even playing field and they're all pushing the objective. On smaller less confusing maps of course.

1200 wp is not enough in the academy, more time is needed (10,000 wp for each game mode). It's like CCP wants the newbies to get owned, try sniping from the red line and leaving.

Well maybe you shouldn't run solo as much.

THAT is a good point.
But me playing in a squad makes it too easy, so im actually looking for a challenge, get my butt kicked and feel im leading the blues.
My K-D ratio suffers for it greatly,but im looking to have fun, not pad stats.

THEN AGAIN, im saying CrotchGrab is Right,but im not complaining about it.
I even played a game where I was completely alone for the WHOLE MATCH vs 2 Corp squads, lol, corp will not be named to avoid humiliation ; but (Even if I lost of course ) I went 29-9 with a freakn 250 HP scout with a ISHI SMG. XD
It was the most fun I've ever had in DUST....

It's because Scotty is the old Bolas pilot AI and being transferred to a desk job has caused him to sink further into alcoholism.

actually that was Bores the Bolas driver. Scotty is his brother and he is a meth addict.

What I want people to understand is I'm not complaining because I lost one game.

I'm complaining because I lost every game in 2.5 hours, and lost by a BIG margin.

I know I'm going to lose and come up against good players, but why every single game?

All I did tonight was lose ISK, I can only lose a certain amount of ISK. The meta of this game promotes camping like a little ***** and what happens when I die 5 times? Should I back out? Because I'm going ISK negative if I don't.

Really, really not a good game mechanic....

I was once in a game where 16 NPC Corp players went against an entire team of Anonymous members.
The 16 randoms crushed Anonymous, which just goes to show that being in squads and corporations does not always make you a good player, and that having a matchmaking system based on squads will never amount to anything.

You know what happens when Scotty "really" works... you end up in a 2 V's 5 battle, my favorite one is 1 V's 7 battle.

Pubstompers plays battle after battle none stop for hours. You only need about 20 Pubstomping Squads doing that at the same time, and Scotty can't cope with all the people leaving and joining servers.

Protobears broke Scotty, and CCP can't find a fix.
