If you make events that clearly requires winning a match, can I suggest that you make it feasible to actually, predictably win matches.
Now, I'm not asking for match-fixing on my behalf, but that you consider options where players playing solo can get into matches that are not stacked against them.
Today I played a set of matches, where every one of them was a set of 16 random blue-berries in mostly MLT or Starter fits against people and squads from corporations known to required 20m+ SP to be allowed in, and with everyone running ADV or PRO gear.
In these, I was consistently on the side of the randoms, which meant that I was effectively barred by CCP from winning while playing solo, independently of my ability.
I know that I could just join a proto-stomp corp and play in a proto-stomp squad, so I would be on the side of 1the 2+ proto-users and not the militia users, but this defeats the notion of being able to play DUST in a casual, random manner. Here I observe that the game specifically allows for solo-deploy, which is not (yet?) publicly defined by CCP as being non-viable for these events, or for DUST in general.
A proper solution would be to arrange matches in manner that do not stack proto-squads vs 16 random bros, or to have events include queuing for solo/casual players in a manner that does not limit either the proto-corps or the solo-players.
Note: I'd prefer a balanced matchmaking, i.e. one that assigns squads in a width-first manner across all teams, instead of the current height-first / single team approach.
So, Dear CCP, if you make events that have such specific goals, please consider that they can be met by players outside of proto-stompers, or you eventually end up alienating casual players, which I think you'll find make up a noticeable chunk of your currently relatively limited player-base.

Play Gal FW maybe?
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

CCP's Matchmaking is too complicated for its own good. They should follow the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep It Simple Stupid)
A Simple, but Effective Matchmaking scheme would be something like this:
1. Take a player's Skill Points - This is a metric of a player's experience / time in the game
2. Add the player's War Points - This is a metric of the player's effectiveness in Team / Goal oriented play
3. Multiply by player's K/D Ratio - This is a metric of player's effectiveness / deadliness in gunplay
4. If in a Squad multiply total by 1.25 - This is a metric to compensate for the effectiveness of coordinated squads vs. solo players
5. Make sure Team "A" total is equal to Team "B" Total within 10%
Match Made!

So what you're saying is that ccp should make synching impossible and making it so that corpmates are only allowed to run one full squad per match?
Hell no! Thumbs down on your suggestion.
If you did better than the rest of your random blueberries then you still get your warpoints and your duly deserved isk whether your side wins or lose. Don't ruin the game for the rest of us just because you have a narcissistic wish of reading "victory" rather than "defeat" after a match (when it doesen't even affect your isk or sp reward). |

Pretty sure the only reason he cares, is because of the challenge requiring a daily win.
That being said....use the squad finder, run ambush maps (fast to play through and then quit it once it gives you a winning side if you don't like Ambush like me), or join a Gal FW match (haven't lost one of these in forever). |

I'd be happy if they would just bring the warbarge back on public matches. The firs 60 seconds of a match are so valuable and problems playing solo are compounded when you deploy late, have to wait for the everyone and their mother to call in tanks and they race to destroy yellow turrets.
Domination is now unplayable. It's just as lame to be on the side that deploys first, and there is no domination in fac war.

If you're not going to play in a squad, don't complain about losing. This is a social lobby shooter with RP elements.

half of your argument is such bullsh*t, you are getting stomped because you are not in a squad, get in a squad in order to win. you are going with i'm going to just go ahead and not use teamwork or communication and expect to win approach and that is complete crap. the point is not that they are wearing proto they are communicating and working as a team that is why they are winning.
<-- plays solo very often and i still disagree with you.
