Matchmaking is already built into Dust. Oddly enough, most players haven't discovered how to turn it on. I have prepared a short tutorial to help with this.
Once you are in the mercenary quarters, do the following to activate matchmaking.
1. Press Select
2. Navigate to the chat channel titled "Squad"
3. If empty, press X and select "create squad"
4. Invite friends, corp mates, etc to new squad (the strength of matchmaking depends on how well you perform this step)
5. Enjoy player driven matchmaking

I wish I can -1 you
Sadly you can't. CCP neglected to provide a -1 button to click on their forums. There is nothing you as a player can do in this situation. On the other hand, your matchmaking woes can be alleviated through player driven methods like squads, corporations, friends, personal skill. CCP should use their resources providing options and tools for the player... not matchmaking. |

This thread shows both extremes of this argument. On the one hand, you have the entitled crowd crying for CCP to "fix" the game. The other group is the "get gud or go back to COD" group. Content is the only thing that will make this game better. Matchmaking is not content. CCP should not be wasting their time on a matchmaking that takes player skill, skill points, skill point allocation, and fitting intelligence into consideration. It cannot be done. Those of you asking for it are unable to see past your own perception that you, or your "friend", cannot compete.
"Get gud" is also not a worthy response. Some players will simply never develop proper FPS skills. That is ok. The game needs to allow for players who don't have the twitch skills or decision making ability to "get gud". Content will make both sides happy. Balancing of certain weapons will help, but the game needs PvE, a deeper PC experience, the continued improvement of faction warfare, and a host of other improvements to the game.
Until then, as a player, you should be social in this MULTIPLAYER game. Surround yourself with friends. Get to know good players and run with them whenever possible. You experience will improve. Or, you can continue to be anti-social. You can continue joining whatever corp you see posting in local. In the end, your quality of experience with Dust is on you. |
