Tch Tch Red Shirts Away Team 25	Posted - 2013.12.03 03:46:00 - [62] - Quote You could also have a game mode that embraces the game balance issue 1 squad attacking a set of objectives vs 26 newberries If you want to make it more inline with what happens in a pub match you could have the scenario starts with an EMP blast that takes out the noob comms (matches play style) and/or have the orbital strikes hit the other teams comms. Attacking team has to take a series of objectives which once taken unlocks access to the null cannon. Note until then its the newberries if they chose to hack it... so the attackers really need to be on the ball... So attackers get to go special forces against garrison troops. Quality vs quantity.

I actually like this idea. Not sure how easy the algorithm would be to program, but sounds fun. Almost like PvE but without programming the E, just substituting for a outnumbered squad of higher skilled players. "The line between disorder and order lies in logistics" -Sun Tzu Amarr victor!

We desperately need this extra dimension of combat to give Dust the personality it needs. Imagine scouts flanking a squad to web them while a mass driver closes in to wreck them with a MD or a scout LAV spotting for an artillery tank with a target painter.

It doesn't. Quick question: How does this compensate for players who are generally better than others regardless of SP? It doesn't Quick question: How does this compensate for players who run vehicles? It takes about the same SP to get a good STD tank as it does to get a proto suit + all modules + three proto weapons one of which is maxed out. It doesn't, thus the vehicle user is going to be against one or more people with proto AV. Quick question: How does this compensate for people just getting back into the game, having tons of SP and not remembering the mechanics of the game? It doesn't. All your reasoning is flawed and on top of that you seem to think that gear > actual skill. All matchmaking should be SKILL and SKILL only. I already answered those questions on pages 1 & 2 if you actually read them. Come back when you have new quick questions & I'll be happy to answer them for you

This will provide everyone a fighting chance against people like me with a metric ton of sp I like this idea alot & it's quite possibly a 2nd solution. We could make 2 new match type areas where it picks a battle type at random. 1 could be named something simple like "Elite Match" for veterans & good players then the 2nd match be something called "Beginners Match" for newbies to join & fight each-other. Problem is you can't limit who can enter Elite or Beginner matches. Otherwise proto stompers & skilled people would just join the "Beginners" match just to crush them for easy ISK or they're precious KDR. Therefore you would have to limit who can enter using the Lifetime SP mechanic I mentioned
Vinsarrow New Eden Blades Of The Azure Zero-Day 125	Posted - 2013.12.03 19:58:00 - [67] - Quote Well I have yet to state my idea is perfect. It does have flaws, 1 reason why I opened this is so the idea can be improved apon because currently it's the only real solution & if edited/perfected it can be done in some form as the absolute solution to this long issue. If you loose once it's implamented then it will be due to skill set, tactics, & yourself as a good player & not due to OP gear which will finally absolve Dust of the proto stomp cry. No newbie no matter how real good can't really stand against a skilled, proto user with like 15 million Lifetime SP. A skilled into Duvolle AR added with Light DMG Modifiers can crush a proto Heavy let alone a newbie in militia gear skilled into nothing. But know theirs always a difference between the Elite & The Non-Elite as I said prior. That aside I digress.... Perhaps 2 new game modes but using the same game types with Lifetime SP as the restriction for both (as I said above in a reply) is the solution. Maybe it can be worked on, also I like the simple notion of offering a newbie a place in your squad off & on. Newbie's roiginally couldn't exactly get into just any squad so they made squad finder, then if a newbie join a Public squad will they keep him & if so how long? Also finding a corporation (if they've figured out to join a corporation) depends on what's right for the newbie & they're tastes, remember some corporations have rules & requirements. PIE Inc. for example it's simple enough it's a FW corporation, thing is it has some strong requirements like you can ONLY use Amarr gear & nothing else unless in the instance it's something you have to use because CCP has yet to make a Amarr version for it yet like you had to use AR's before they had Amarr SR's. Then they have to research which to join & most likely they'll hear mostly only of big corporations but they might eventually find a small corporation fitting them. Then theirs the issue of player base well if your on late don't forget about The Japanese, Russians, Spanish & etc. who are equally if not better then some USA corporations at being good players. But once it's implamented we might see more people, but I think we have enough people that it might work though I have my doubts. Also if Scotty has issues upon it being first implamented CCP will fix it as they always do eventually....

This is the 1 easy, fast, & clear solution so support it if you want proto stomping to finally be fixed.... All CCP has to do is this, those with higher Lifetime SP wiil be facing only people with the same high range of Lifetime SP. Example a person with 15 million Lifetime SP will only be facing people with 17 million & 13 million Lifetime SP range. People with low lifetime SP will only be facing people with low Lifetime SP. Example a person has 5 million Lifetime SP then they'll only be facing people with the range of 7 million & 3 million Lifetime SP. Veterans with Veterans - Newbies with Newbies With the exception of squads & PC matches, then the system can match varying similiar people with similiar Lifetime SP range, in other words the more squads that are full the more the Lifetime SP will change to fit a general Lifetime SP range for all those playing. Example Amarr side has 2 Squads, Squad A is full proto & they're lifetime SP is generally around 10 million, Squad B has 1 proto user, 3 moderate people running adavanced gear like GEK's lifetime SP ranging 5 - 2 million, with 2 newbies in it's squad - The Minmitar side has 1 full squad & 1 half full squad, Squad A is all moderate people running Advanced gear, Squad B (the half filled squad) has 1 proto & 2 newbies. Scotty The AI will be encripted with mathmatical calculation gathering each & everyone's SP coming to a general Lifetime SP range of say 6 million+ (for the example above) be around the general range then Scotty will only allow "The randoms or Extra" people entering the match only to be within the priamaters of 6 million. There only people with 8 - 6 - 4 million Lifetime SP range can get in on that match. This will mean a little longer match loading & if CCP brings back The War Room to matches besides Factional & PC then Scotty can do his calculations while "Waiting for deployment" & at The War Room.... So what do you do late at night when the number of people queuing for battle won't allow for that system to work? What do you do when players figure out where the optimal "break point" is for the lifetime skill point thingy is and make sure that squads total lifetime SP doesn't exceed that number when putting squads together so taht they can still WTFPWN newbs? In the end you cannot account for everything and players are what break the system. So design a system that encourages players to get better, not worse. By putting same skill players against each other, they learn a hell of a lot less than if they are against a player that is higher skill than they are. Why the hell do you think that most jobs pair a newbie up with a veteran for mentoring? Everyone learns differently first of all. Furthermore let me quote something from Mass Effect 3 "They're using our own tactic against us, destroy the enemy with over whealming force" No plan, no tactic, no strategy, & no matter how intelligent 1 may be they can never really hope to defeat something that's FFAARR beyond they're power level. If you were wise you would know that & know nothing is to be learned their. Note read my last reply post before this 1 also. Here are 3 exellent visual examples btw that your welcome to look up on YOUtube. - Ulquiorra vs Ishida. Then Ichigo as Vasto Lorde vs Ulquiorra. Then Aizen vs All The Captains. & the 3rd is The Repears in Mass Effect 3 vs everyone in the entire game. Their are many many more examples but I think those fights clearly spell out my point here. What your saying is near basic to like handing a blade to a child & saying beat Kratos in a real fight. Or having a medieval militia of 35 with swords & armor vs a Modern Day USA Marine platoon. It just ain't going to happen XD

You are missing the essence of why players want the matchmaking system fixed, it isn't so players who are bad at the game can have an easier time all the time they play the game.. it is so new players aren't going up against the best and most experienced players at the game as soon as they leave the academy. 2.If you have 15m SP and get slaughtered by other people with 15m SP why should you get put against players who have less SP ? You're basically saying that because you suck you need to be put up against people in Militia Gear when your using Proto/ADV gear so you can get kills and do well ! That is exactly why people want the matchmaking system fixed in the first place lol .. WE WANT PLAYER SKILL AND TEAMWORK TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR how exactly is giving you an advantage over players with less SP beneficial ? It may benefit you but it doesn't benefit the people you get put up against ! After reading this i'm actually certain that I got the essence of why you (there are certainly others that think like that but i don't believe it's everyone) want the matchmaking system fixed and from your post I can understand why this is how you would do it. I just strongly disagree with this being the objective of a matchmaking system. As I've said, there are several reasons for why having high SP does not always translate to a performance that is competitive enough to allow reasonably balanced matches. I don't think that one group of players is more deserving of allowing them to play against similarly strong opponents than the other in general. All players should have a venue where they can count on getting a challenging, yet fun and potentially rewarding fight. I think that this venue are pubs and that this is the task that a matchmaking system ought to fulfill by putting an even distribution of different skill, SP and gear levels into each team. It should be holistic and not dependant on any individual factor of any individual player, but on the combined power of each team, so that everyone can focus on fulfilling his role on the battlefield and everyone gets a chance contribute to the match, regardless of his personal position within the spectrum. No one should be forced into a perpetual circle of matches where, for whatever reason, he has no chance to compete with the rest of both his team and the oppents team. Karl Marx II wrote: 3.If you have used your 15m SP sporadically and put it in a wide variety of skills then you will obviously be weaker than someone who specialised ther skills into 1 role .. although you will have a more diverse selection of fits .. but don;t forget that YOU are solely responsible for where you invested your SP and are therefore again responsible for having weaker fittings. This is a solid point and I agree if we are talking about PC and partially FW. But, just looking at current PC paradigms we can conclude that 15m SP spread out does not yield competitive performance against 15m SP focused. Not in any individual engagement (this works as intended) and not on a wider scope (this is a problem). I'd like to stress that "generalist approach" does not equal "dumping SP into every useless thing one probably can't/won't use properly anyway" just to clear on the definitions. As it stands, the up-sides of generalizing do not balance out the downsides. A generalist approach does not work well right now, and would work even less with a SP facused MM system, making a theoratically valid and viable approach to skilling a death trap for everyone going that route. I'd say that this might be a whole seperate issue that deserves its own thread, but its consequences are a part of this problem aswell. Karl Marx II wrote: 4.As I have posted in an earlier comment .. it isn't just matchmaking that needs fixing, PVE needs adding as well therefore if you were losing alot in PVP and wanted to do something different to maybe earn ISK and SP or just improve your game then you could do PVE instead ! Full agreement here. PVE can not come soon enough for so many reasons. I just don't think we'll see anything of the sorts for quite some time and therefore getting the match making right in the mean time is important. You can take a benign object, -you can take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source...

As for Rail Rifle yes it's OP - Why? My friend bought the lowest level AUR (costs 30 AUR) & with barely any to no modules was able to swiftly kill Proto's, as for those who saved SP for 1.7 & were all proto & so on are expected to kill people with proto Rail Rifle however the Rail Rifle is OP & it will eventually be nerfed just stating the obvious. Everyone's running it simply because it's OP which is obvious if you go into almost any & all matches.... Hopefully though CCP won't nerf it so bad it becomes as useless as Laser Rifles or Flaylocks the Rail Rifle has potential just needs work. But this is reply is more on about 1.7 & less aboto the proto issue
CLONE117 planetary retaliation organisation 515	Posted - 2013.12.16 19:33:00 - [75] - Quote make an opendoor type restriction. which is basically optional parameters that can be turned on and off at anytime at your merc quarters. would include gear, squad size, wp, sp. all that stuff... and the best part its all optional and doesnt actually force players to do anything. this is how i feel it should be like. its pretty much the perfect solution. as it allows players to go into matches they want or basically set up their own matches.

Jake Bloodworth Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 261	Posted - 2014.01.02 21:01:00 - [84] - Quote Another "fix" for a perceived problem. Protostomping is merely a symptom of a greater problem. TTK is too low for new players to react. Also, proto suits need roles and bonuses that change their play style instead of simply giving them more tank/gank. You can't matchmake your way out of proto stomping. What about high SP players with low Isk? How do they compete against wealthy players when they can't afford to proto all day? You give ideas that are tired and proven lacking. Only content and balance can improve dust for the new/poor player.

It's not final until CCP adds it in, and it's generally accepted to be balanced. In the future, it might get imbalanced, so in reality, it's never final until CCP stops working on the game.

You can't even quit and come back for easier opponents because your opponents would then be stronger still. Exactly, it sounds nice in theory. Maybe this has already been discussed earlier in the thread but the amount of SP you have doesn't necessarily dictate the gear you are going to use. What if someone with 20 M SP specialised into vehicles wants to play a few games running and gunning out of his/her vehicles? This player probably won't have very good dropsuits or weapons skills. Which team do they get put on? The game can't read a players mind and know which dropsuits/weapons they intend to spawn in with before a game starts. Just because you have high SP and protogear, doesn't mean you intend to use it. I think matchmaking is a more complicated issue. Desperate attempt to get BPOs
