The maps are too big compared to playercount.
Either rewamp the game mode and make smaller maps or bring a higher player Count -which probably won't work.
Or at least let us keep the LAVs or future hoverbikes or whatnot, I'm tired of running...
The combination of todays huge maps, low player Count and no vehicles will be very boring indeed.
I can't walk 3 feet from spawn without getting shot at yesterday. The maps are immensely small with no place to really hide.

There are a few very large maps, though I rarely see them. They basically feel like a skirmish maps, and typically, tanks are less of a worry, as there is plenty of room to safely call in tanks.
So, much tank on tank action, so infantry can do other infantry.

What generally happens on those maps is one spawn would get 'gamed' into a corner and they cannot do anything. This is generally accelerated by a blueberry dropping an uplinks (or continuously dropping uplinks) so the default or uplink spawns becomes a death trap unable to get out of the seige or organize enough to push out of it.

Well that just sounds naughty. As it stands, I'm continuously filtering AMBUSH out of my Battle match-ups because it just devolves into HE WHO FIELDS THE MOST TANKS FIRST DOTH WIN! My team just a half hour ago, got themselves backed into a building and was pinned down inside it by 6 tanks for the final half of the map while my squad-mates were singing over mic. It was fun times.
I'd be willing even to face a wall of proto-spam if it meant that the match'd be infantry only. I've always enjoyed those sorts of match-ups more than a mix of infantry/vehicles when it's a TDM-setting. |

Any plans to fix issues I mentioned like getting thrown into battles with extremely uneven teams (like 3 vs 9) in which no more players join, battles with a full team of friendlies but 0 enemies in which no enemies ever join, yet Matchmaking has no problem adding players to battles about to end?

CCP are hapless munchkins with no clue what they are doing, its not even bad, its just flat broken.
I was in a match where I was alone against a full proto NYAN squad
Then the matchmaker apparently believed I was a one man army and a full squad if AE joined on the NYAN side making it 1vs12
Left that game just to be thrown into the loooooose screen of a other match

Aah Ignore him, he's doing his rant in the corner.
However since you are here I'll give you my suggestion on how to improve the matchmaking. (Wether you want it or not)
Implement a Performance Based System ontop of the current one.
The current matchmaker works very well (for me anyway, longest I have waited is 4secs). But from what I have gleened it only matches people based on their internet connection. You would benifit greatly from a performance based system on top of this.
This would require a new metric, which I will denote as Infamy for the time being. The infamy metric doesn't need to be shown to players if you don't want to. Bjt it is calculated from KDR, WLR, WP PM, ISK Fielded PM, put in a formula something like this. (ISK +ù KDR) / (1 / WLR -í WP PM )
FYI : WLR -í WP PM = WP PM to the root of WLR.
The formula will probably need tweaking but basically you then match people from the first system by getting the infamy as close as possible..

Who says matches need to be full? Many vets might like the challenge of their 6-man squad going against 16 low- and mid-tier players...and those that dont can stick with Gal/Min FW for all their stat-padding needs.

Match making is flawed, but as long as "leave battle" is always an option i can cope. Smart deploy however is terrible. This is evident in 80 clone matches with 75/0 clones at the end. If you start in a kill box and some blueberry drops links.... well it is over. |

These posts are much easier to counter and gain the upper hand on the OP. Ones with well thought out arguments and questions are to hard to counter, answer and defend without leaving yourself in a disadvantages spot publicly and quotable.
The Question Saberwing leaves with answering so quickly is more that they are reading the posts. Which is a comforting thought. However not being able to guage their positions on any of it beyond what the community has been stuck with from CPM's like IWS... makes this process frustrating. And for those who don't have endless time on their smart phone, multi-tasking abilities and or time off work. The ones without that, just get frustrated after a few months and give up throwing their hands up in the air and find another title. The worst part, most of those Mercenaries where the truly talented ones. |

While "threatening" language may not "entice" developer interaction, it should at least make you realize that a very basic component to the game, hell, to any game, is completely broken. Not to mention Dust has been out for about 2 years now, and matchmaking still isn't fixed.... Just that thought alone should warrant "developer interaction" with the community, because when it has been 2 years and it's still a huge issue, people are going to get pissed off, plain and simple.. |

"working on it" is honestly all we need. thank you, we appreciate your response.
Also smart deploy ONLY deploys you on an uplink. makes no sense.
perhaps have smart deploy in skirmish and dom so you can automatically be put near an objective? |

Regarding matchmaking: Any idea how you will fix FW? I mean it's not necessarely a thing about the MM there, but about the factions most players chose. And getting stomped all day on Amarr and Caldari side isn't really fun. So any thoughts about making it desireable to fight for a faction which holds 0% of the districts? Like giving them Standing and more LP for example until they get a foothold again?

So you're aware of how unbalanced the game is overall to make sure that it won't update for another month?

I cannot understand why public matches aren't tiered and why isn't their a decent new player experience.
I had no issues coming in as a newb. I did not know sole who played. I wasted SP in skills I would never use and alike. All I knew was kill orange chevrons! That is what makes it some fun.... The months of building your clone up. Going from hit and run run run tactics to if you shoot at me there is a 84.75% chance you will die is great. I can still run 2k ISK suits and pull up positive kill numbers cause I either lone wolf way on flanks or stay in a group.I honestly for 2 months did not know what a proto suit looked like. It was only when a squad I was in said something that got me wondering. Best advice for a newb......understand what different suits look like and know whento not engage. This is not COD....not BOs. Rushing gets you killed. Be a medic and squad up until you can skill up then ask people before using SP.
On the flip side, matchmaking by lifetime skill points should be easy to achieve. Just give Scotty a 15 seconds timeout for the query and if he cannot evenly stack sides......he does his best.
See ya' on the battlefield.

The smart spawn system could be smarter about not grouping entire teams withing 20m. The game should have an invisible frontline to make it so people spawn more evenly in ambush. Matchmaking on the other hand should have a ranking system in place. Someone made a thread suggesting it and it works pretty well in counter strike global by having the collective ranks of each team be as close as possible.

No patch because of a holiday, you my friends are amateurs. Also RACIAL HEAVY SUITS?????????

Just stop spawning and allow the system to reset. Dumbass blues will notice when their numbers cut in half or more. Doing so gives you a chance to regroup elsewhere on the map, albeit at a clone disadvantage. |

How do you reconcile this with the Dust's setting, New Eden, home to the most cut throat MMO ever? The learning curve in EVE is much more steep and there is potential to run into people who will faceroll you every time you load a new grid (even a cloak CovOps slowboating into scram range). We're told to HTFU in EVE.
Isn't the fact that matchmaking needs to exist in Dust at all a sign of a failure to integrate with EVE? |

So you're aware of how unbalanced the game is overall to make sure that it won't update for another month?
Why don't you volunteer to take time away from your family and not take the time off you have earned to work instead. Think of the people behind the names. The internet is made up of real humans - you should remember that. Your enjoyment of a video game takes a backseat to other people's desire to lead a happy life.
What will be your legacy? Will you rise, or will you fall?

I cannot understand why public matches aren't tiered and why isn't their a decent new player experience. I had no issues coming in as a newb. I did not know sole who played. I wasted SP in skills I would never use and alike. All I knew was kill orange chevrons! That is what makes it some fun.... The months of building your clone up. Going from hit and run run run tactics to if you shoot at me there is a 84.75% chance you will die is great. I can still run 2k ISK suits and pull up positive kill numbers cause I either lone wolf way on flanks or stay in a group.I honestly for 2 months did not know what a proto suit looked like. It was only when a squad I was in said something that got me wondering. Best advice for a newb......understand what different suits look like and know whento not engage. This is not COD....not BOs. Rushing gets you killed. Be a medic and squad up until you can skill up then ask people before using SP. On the flip side, matchmaking by lifetime skill points should be easy to achieve. Just give Scotty a 15 seconds timeout for the query and if he cannot evenly stack sides......he does his best. See ya' on the battlefield. RF
+1 RED FARM, Good read. This is what a DUST merc sounds like!
Imo this negates the single biggest motivating argument from the tiericide faction. Tiericide is a long trip down a difficult and costly path only to end up with many of the same problems we started with. There are far better ways to spend our limited dev resources, tbh.
Education and a quality NPE are the first part of the answer. Going the CoD route is not.
I support SP rollover.
