Theres nothing wrong with running q-sync in pubs. The only defences between running solo or with a squad is the communication between players. So pretty much all your saying is "hey these guys are playing as a team and working together, thats not fair why can i do that" well you can its called squading up and it doesn't cost you any sp or isk in fact it may just save you some. And if thats not enough ccp even gave you away to make it easier than it ever was before with squad finder. So get in there start a squad and give us "Stompers" a good fight.

The problem is pubs are running like nullsec instead of high sec. Nothing wrong with running expensive gear or a massive team imo despite my own disdain for it. |

No, the problem is that q-syncing is usually done by older/larger corporations that will likely have a significant SP advantage over their opposition, which only further adds to the imbalance of the match.
I'm not going to argue that q-synching is right or wrong, but I do want it to be known that the game needs to offer a "squad-free" version of the various match types to help the game grow. Just put yourself in a new player's shoes: "Hey, I'm fresh out of the academy...let me hop into a battle real quick. Oh, hey...the other team consists entirely of one corporation."
I didn't know it was possible, but a month or so ago I dropped into a match where the enemy squad was ENTIRELY made up of What the French and their training corp (12 of them being from WTF proper.) Yeah, it went pretty much how you'd expect.
Life is killing me.

Because a group of randoms squadded up via the squad finder is totally on the same level as a tight knit group of "stompers." And factors like an experience disparity, an SP disparity, the gear disparity... Well, as we all know, those don't actually exist.
Teamwork obviously is the be all end all, and will create an entirely level playing field.

believe me i've been on both sides of the old stomp stick and i find it fun to go against organized team what upsets me is when the blue dots give up halfway through the match thats what makes it not fun. Like if im solo playing Dom and finally manage to clear the point in a losing battle but oh well all the bluedots are either snipping or messing around in the redline waiting for the match to end. i send good game mails that stay in the fight with me because those r the guys that stay on dust and become the stomper of new |

Randoms can only run proto if they have the SP to use it. It is a bit hard to run proto when you literally are incapable of running it. And gear means nothing? Are you unaware of the differences between tiers?

Proto gear is THAT much better than lesser gear. You can't just team up and stomp back with comms and organization. You can't get new players to be better than they are.

It also helps to have a good logi backing up those randoms. I mean eventually they do pick up on what they're suppose to do. If they stay together and there is not an ungodly amount of vehicles on the field I can keep them up to the point we're not burning through clones. But black and yellow proto suit makes me a target if the enemy knows what to look for lol. |

Agree with the OP that squadding up might help, but it wont overcome experienced proto wearing corps who have been together since day one. Join a corp you say. Then the game gets boring because then I become the stomper, as previously stated, fighting to tear the s**t out of the weak ones. Have enough sp to take my chances against most stompers, but newer players don't. And we NEED them.
Know the game was supposed to be team based, but that concept really offers nothing unless they bring back corp battles. When they do that, more people will probably join corps to fight for higher stakes besides PC, which is a pipe dream to most.
Great job, team. Head back to the MCC for debriefing and cocktails.

You seem to be confusing two things here, Q-syncing and Proto-stomping. I whole-heartedly support syncing, as you say, it's using teamwork to it's fullest. What makes me leave battle if I see a squad plus of Dem Durty Boys is that I know they'll all be proto-stomping. So I guess I half agree with you.

Remember like a great earth loving man once said: THE POWER IS YOURS!!! A valid argument. My counterpoint is that once you're in a squad, you already dominate the battlefield. Why would you q-sync? It pretty much hands you the win, as you are a completely organised group fighting a completely disorganised rabble. Do you find enjoyment out using your superior teamwork, tactics, and equipment to destroy a virtually defenceless team? Do you realise how sadistic such behaviour is?
Yeah, yeah, welcome to New Eden, HTFU. But you see I don't care, I live with this. I fight teams q-synced every so often, and despite the complete and utter domination you place our team under (of which the only real world analogy that comes to mind is r.a.p.e.), I continue to play a game that despite its downs, I really enjoy playing.
So no, I'm not judging your tactics, I'm just judging your morality.

yea q sync'ing and playing with friends is cheating, this game should be like real life warfare where random dudes just meet up and attack **** with no real game plan, just like real life established militaries do. also they need to get rid of voice chat because telling someone there is bad guys behind em is ridiculously OP. also remove rep tools, nanohives/injectors and scanners

Also idk about other corps but my corp aswell as STB don't just give money to its members unless we're dirt broke but even then we usually ask other members first |

Is protostomping even a thing anymore? Seriously with LP everyone has proto suits. It kinds pisses me off because I worked hard to get the two I got and now we got all these fake protos running around :) and it really doesn't take long to get one good piece of equipment, which is all you need unless you're a logi.
Communication is the key, I bring proto hives, you got proto uplinks, our logi is running a proto repper and needle, and someone has a proto scanner. Damn we're all set.
Teamwork is OP.
Or you could say at the games current state... I got a proto blaster, you got a proto rail, and he's got a ADS. Damn we're all set, vehicles are OP! |

And if thats not enough ccp even gave you away to make it easier than it ever was before with squad finder. So get in there start a squad and give us "Stompers" a good fight. Remember like a great earth loving man once said: THE POWER IS YOURS!!!
Q-sync in pubs is not inherently bad, it's just that most of the time, when facing a q-sync, every firefight will be a lopsided fight where it's 1v2 or 1v3. Most squads in squad finder are just people looking to drop orbitals, not people looking to play as a team, so it can be hard to find a good squad, especially for people in the smaller corps. Also, the people who q-sync and spam nothing but tanks and ADS, or full protosuit teams can make the match seem even more imbalanced. Personally, that's the reason I love academy battles so much. Everyone is at about the same level, so it's more of a fair fight. I wouldn't mind seeing 2 q-synced teams fight in nothing but mlt frontline suits. CCP! Make it happen!

Communication is the key, I bring proto hives, you got proto uplinks, our logi is running a proto repper and needle, and someone has a proto scanner. Damn we're all set.

Oh, a pub match.
I am so impressed that you managed to lose an ambush. I would imagine the opposition was of garbage quality, which is why you cut it down to only show your score.
Maybe one day you can be top of the PC scoreboard in a loss.

I used to pub stomp back in the day, but as of now I run OPEN squads in the squad finder, allowing subscribers to play with me, and sometimes, it is a struggle, but it gives me reason to run full proto, being how I am mostly the only one in the squad that has the sp for it. I have found that I can run full blueprint and die by the same amount of rounds as if I was in full proto.

Q-syncing is rather pointless, and boring. Its only needed for Caldari and Amarr FW, as if you have more than 5 bluedots on your teams whilst fighting for those factions, you will no doubt lose terribly, as they assist the other team by "boosting" for them.
I'm starting to be convinced its an inside job that goes deep, deep into New Eden. Gallente and Minmatar made a lot of back alley deals to have control of the Universe.

I don't see a particularly need to q-sync, but the corp aspect is big part of what is keeping a lot of players still playing, you can't blame them for wanting to play together - as log as they don't get complacent and just assume they will lose if they don't sync.
Yesterday I was with one other scout (fought each other the match before and then teamed up - no comms, just a pair of scouts in a squad) and I think only 4-5 of us were trying during a stomp. Between us, managed to cap/hold 1-2 points at a time - we risked ourselves to stop a complete redline, while at least 6 blues (presumably a squad?), just sat at a spawn point.
If they'd had mucked in, we coulda taken that back to a good resistance - instead it remained a stomp.
You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

Any Q syncing in pub matches is the sign of a scrub corp.
I don't know why you needed so many pages to get this drummed into your thick head.
You are bad because you q sync pubs. You should feel bad for needing to get 11 others to help you win a pub match.
You could go and play some Caldari or Amarr FW, but that would require effort, and maybe some skills, which DDB lacks a whole.

It's more that I can keep up my squad of mlt or std blues around me even going against other proto suits because the logi gear is that much better. Even not in a squad. Just the team holding down a location. A good logi can make even them a force to be reckoned with. It's just that in some games they lack that team work to even stand near each other. Even with nano-hives and triage nano-hives down. Proto injector and repper. Still they just run out in the middle and die. No way am I risking my suit to run out into the middle. |

LOL, if your corp has not realized how important Amarr uplinks are going to be in PC, you will lose your land even faster than I thought.
Beyond that though, I doubt that you have problems getting people into FW for the reasons you stated. More than likely they realize that playing a pub will be a stomp, but if they go FW, they just might end up against a full team. Can't let that happen, because then you would lose, or actually have to try. That is too much for DDB people.

These guys in the redline are sick of the qsync protostompers. We qsnc all the time but we don't run our proto, in fact we enjoy taking down a few protostompers in pubs with basic gear. It is very frustrating to be the only squad on a sixteen man team doing anything, while the rest hide or give up.
It is a growing cancer in this game, the recent matchmaking has made it a little better, but until people put down the proto and run ADV, this is what we have. A truly skilled squad can still run effectively without running the god mode suits.
We've done it to ourselves people, no one else to blame.

I mean why Qsync and run Proto in pubs?
I've come to the conclusion that people would Qsync and stomp Academy Battles if they were let in. It's not about a competitive match anymore but humiliating your opponent. Then people come and post their scores like they are some great players...it's pretty easy when you stack every advantage. |

Except for the people you are stepping on. But then, you don't care about anyone else enjoying the game at all.
All you and yours want is easy matches to inflate your wallets to make yourselves feel better about not being able to hold land in PC without locking up.
If your corp could win difficult matches, you wouldn't be q syncing pubs. In fact, if your corp were worth anything at all, 6 of you would be enough to turn a match.

You: I like to gang up with my friends and kick the crap out of kids.
Me: That is shameful, you should feel bad.
You: But its fun! They can do it too! Except that me and my friends have more and bigger weapons then them.
Me: Doesn't matter, beating up on children is wrong, and you should feel bad.
You: But I like it! And it makes me feel big! And my friends and I laugh as we do it!
Me: Well, that makes you and your friends pieces of garbage.
You: But we are good! Look at this picture of me in a pub!
Me: I don't care, you beat up on children and you refuse to fight real teams. That makes you a coward.
Feel free to try and continue justifying why you need to get 12 people together to fight an unorganized group that you should be able to handle solo if you are not trash at this game.

Did you know that if you take 12 people and queue up for either Amarr or Caldari you are going to get a match within a couple of minutes because it generates an attack? I guess AE goes looking for hard matches just like DDB.
You want to try another bad excuse for why you need to form up to stomp scrubs? Or are you guys finally ready to admit you just want easy mode?
Yet another RA corp that has zero interest in "good fights". Your alliance has to be one of the single biggest contributors to people fleeing this game like a sinking ship.

lawyer its a game you don't see ppl stopping football games just because one team is losing badly. and stop trying to make it sound like we're sitting in corp going "ok guys let ruin this game for everyone and don't forget only use proto" out of the 12 that Q maybe 4 or 5 guys will bring out proto and thats thier choice who r you to say thats wrong where is the book the say no q syncing and no proto in pubs because unless its in Da Rules no ones going to stop them.
p.s. why are you hiding what corp your in because i could be wrong but aren't you one of those guys that jumps to top corp to top corp never join a underdog corp cause you you only want to play with the "good" players |

Teamwork could use a nerf.... I stack damage mods on my teamwork and even I agree teamwork is overpowered so it definitely needs to be removed. Teamwork and higher level play in general shouldn't exist. Remove squad finder, squads, chat channels and corporations so we cannot organized ourselves. It's not fair to use teamwork and have alot of SP and knowledge from playing over a year because people who just started playing yesterday aren't good enough to beat you.
Truth be told if you don't have SP, teamwork or game play experience and your playing with like minded players you just shouldn't win... There are plenty of corporations you can join that well happily teach you how to improve your play and what to invest your SP into. |

I don't think you sit in corp wondering about how to ruin the game.
I think you sit in corp and go for the easy route because you are all bad.
As for my corp history, it is pretty simple.
Zion Zion as CEO MHPD for a month on contract Zion as CEO Fatal Absolution
So yeah, I corp hop all over the place looking for easy places to rest my feet. Because the only reason I left Zion was to fight AE all the time.
So I actually went looking for fights, difficult ones.
You and yours go pub stomp.
That is the fundamental difference between us, I actually like a challenge. You just want to win and pretend you did something.

there's nothing wrong with q-syncing, the only problem with "stomping" is the guys who get free money from their corp to run all proto in pub matches. so you have a couple squads of guys who can run all the proto they want vs. people who can't afford to keep running all proto because PROTO COST ISK. The big corps can just pay out ISK for their guys to "proto stomp" pub matches and essentially drive away the lesser players. I say bring back corp battles and maybe let them place bets against each other or something. |

I will say this, we have been qsyncing and met up with DDB qsyncing, said F it, pulled out our proto gear and had probably some of the best pub matches I ever remember, to the end won one by two clones, lost one by three clones, great fkng battles and I'm sure they remember them too, GG's went all around. If the field was even and all battles were such, this game would have millions of players, but it is not.
When evenly matched up like that running proto is great, that's the time to do it, but against NPC corp players or randoms, it's weak.

There is no such thing as 'pubstomping' or 'protostomping'. There are good players, and there are bad players. Good players use the best available equipment, and take advantage of mics to coordinate with each other in battles. Bad players refuse to do what the good players do to win, even though the bad players have every chance available. Good players figure out the range of their weapon and pick fights at that range.

Shocker.... can't say I'm at all surprised by this, although I haven't run across him in-game myself recently.
It's pretty simple, really. If you find yourself in a one-sided match, start handicapping yourself until the sides even out. If that means your Q-synched team reverts to all STD or MLT gear.... well, do it. If you need to have some of your guys run LOL fits that are not used to... do it. Need to stop laying remotes, guarding objectives, camping.... do it. No Q-sync next match? Do it.
Realistically, you can't change other people, you can only change yourself. So complaining that others need to use the tools given to them, while being correct (you're assuming they have the SP, mike, know-how, gear) is still way more likely to not get you anywhere than just changing your own approach.

I'm one month playing, have no proto, and come in top 5 more often than not. My favorite fit (Basic sentinel, adv hmg) got me 27/16/10 earlier. Thing is, I only use it toward the middle of the match. Normally I use militia minmatar light, militia ar or basic rr, militia uplinks, and mlt cardio. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this mlt fit that gets me 1000 wp MINIMUM even if my team loses, is available to EVERYBODY the first time they log in? We spell it out for you day after day...the only keeping you from succeeding at DUST is you.

That is the dumbest **** I have ever read... Start a new player. Then take it into public matches. Don't play with your corp, alliance, or anyone you know. Because remember new players only have randoms in squad finder. Sure, take everything you know about the game and apply it, as you can't unlearn it. Then, strive for 100,000 lifetime WP... Good luck with that. See how long it takes or until you just give up.
This whole "I get 1000WP in a MLT Heavy suit" is bullsh*t. So you get 15-20 kills a match, in MLT gear and no SP backing, while playing solo? Maybe once in a while you do, but not on a consistent basis.
I'll admit a lot of this game, or any FPS, is common sense. But remember how dumb you were when you started this game, just like we all were.
Yup, whip out that awesome equipment you magically think new players have... It takes 10m SP to be competitive in this game, especially against the vets. So go jerk your mother off somewhere else with your bullsh*t

I dont have a mic, I solo random only. I am also secure enough to know when I suck it is not the other team's fault.

And if thats not enough ccp even gave you away to make it easier than it ever was before with squad finder. So get in there start a squad and give us "Stompers" a good fight. Remember like a great earth loving man once said: THE POWER IS YOURS!!! *reads *checks corp *checks alliance *laughs so hard *leaves Nothing like getting 10 proto stompers on 1 team.... This.
Q-syncing itself isn't terribad, but it's being done in the worst place for a game.
But it's being done in a place which means nothing, and on people who want to have a chill time.
Seriously, do you need 12 guys from your corp to win a match that means nothing?
Why does it matter to you if you absolutely crush the other guys in a pub? Seriously, it means about as much as spit.
Sadly, we all probably know why it's done, particularly by huge corps. Peoe who feel striking their epeen is much more important then have a fun, tight match, with equally matched teams.
Don't tell me joining a squad of randoms is any better then being solo, they probably don't have mics either. You don't improve yourself in any way by using the squad finder, you improve the game of the squad lead more then anything, particularly because most random. Squad leads don't know how to be a squad lead.
Get Gud only works if the field was level in the first place.

I just can't stop laughing at this. QQ over people doing whatever they can to win. I feel the need to point out at this time: 1. DUST 514 is a game. EVERY match is meaningless. You don't really win control of real planets in FW. 2. All games have winners and losers. Some games give out medals to everyone. DUST is no exception. You can grenade suicide, go 0/40, directly cause your team to lose, and STILL get 3000 sp and 150k isk EVERY match. 3. My 7 yr old kid made a DUST acct and can get 20 kpm. There is simply no excuse for blaming the other guy's gun, tank, squad, corp, or mother for you trying to play DUST like it was COD. 4. If you do find yourself vapor locking over this game, it's prolly time for a break. Even if you never come back to it, DUST 514 is was free, and you are out nothing.

Personally, I would be much less frustrated at getting stomped if I was getting stomped by people who really use teamwork and tactics to win or are genuinely better at the game than me, than by people who dominate simply because they run gear that most of the guys on my team have neither the ISK nor the SP to use.
Not saying that a lot of the protostompers don't also use teamwork and tactics to their advantage - that's all fine and should be encouraged - but stat padders who run protosquads because they know their gear will squash the opposition without challenge should feel bad because they're turning even beta vets like me off this game, to say nothing of the newberries who see that as their first experience out of the academy.
Of course, Scotty should also feel bad because his aptitude for finding appropriate challenges for these protosquads is abysmal, and I'm strongly in favor of a high-priority matchmaking overhaul to create more balanced pub matches in terms of squads and SP. I want to log into Dust for an hour and have fun... kill, die, win, lose, be challenged, not stomped.
FW, PC, and any other game modes that affect the greater New Eden universe should remain open to the same anything-goes mindset that Eve is so famous for, but pubs should be a place for people to have fun, not merely a stomping ground for protobears. No, it isn't "practice" for PC/FW, because there's no challenge involved. Bring back corp battles if you want a practice mode, that way one protosquad can fight another protosquad and be challenged on their terms, while more casual or lower SP players can be challenged on their terms in pubs.

Not saying that a lot of the protostompers don't also use teamwork and tactics to their advantage - that's all fine and should be encouraged - but stat padders who run protosquads because they know their gear will squash the opposition without challenge should feel bad because they're turning even beta vets like me off this game, to say nothing of the newberries who see that as their first experience out of the academy.
Of course, Scotty should also feel bad because his aptitude for finding appropriate challenges for these protosquads is abysmal, and I'm strongly in favor of a high-priority matchmaking overhaul to create more balanced pub matches in terms of squads and SP. I want to log into Dust for an hour and have fun... kill, die, win, lose, be challenged, not stomped.
FW, PC, and any other game modes that affect the greater New Eden universe should remain open to the same anything-goes mindset that Eve is so famous for, but pubs should be a place for people to have fun, not merely a stomping ground for protobears. No, it isn't "practice" for PC/FW, because there's no challenge involved. Bring back corp battles if you want a practice mode, that way one protosquad can fight another protosquad and be challenged on their terms, while more casual or lower SP players can be challenged on their terms in pubs.

Waiting for a match for 15 minutes just so that one or two people get a Scotty error and don't make it in anyway? Just generally easier to q-synch in pub matches than hoping on a whim and a prayer that nothing goes wrong when q-synching FW. Did you know that if you take 12 people and queue up for either Amarr or Caldari you are going to get a match within a couple of minutes because it generates an attack? I guess AE goes looking for hard matches just like DDB. You want to try another bad excuse for why you need to form up to stomp scrubs? Or are you guys finally ready to admit you just want easy mode? Yet another RA corp that has zero interest in "good fights". Your alliance has to be one of the single biggest contributors to people fleeing this game like a sinking ship.
Is there a reason you always go for the corp tag in every single one of your responses? It really degrades your argument. It doesn't make you sound smart, witty or even the least bit like you know what you're talking about. Anyone can make generalizations based on corp tags. Point in case, you were part of ZionTCD so you must be a dumbass by your own logic because I was in ZionTCD as well (albeit in closed beta when they were actually worth something, lololol - see, I can troll too).
Vague association aside, I run Proto when the enemy runs Proto. Until then, I use BPO gear. Stop making assumptions based on affiliation and, I dunno, do something productive with yourself instead of being butt-hurt/jelly all the time.

I play the game. I snipe (well try too). I get killed. Sometimes I die quickly (which is often), other times I can hold my own and win that duel. They put the time into the game, they have it.

So you make a reply, with no actual response to my counter to your argument that q syncing for FW takes too long. I like that.
You think I am trolling you, but I am not. RA is an alliance of players who are not respectable. DDB are nothing, NS is a pubstomping corp, and AE, who have quality, but obviously no heart, are not too be taken lightly, but are easily pushed over when the going gets tough.

Been saying this since closed Beta. The same reason we don't have cynos, bubbles, carriers, dreads, SCs and Titans in hisec (or DDs in lowsec) is the same reason we shouldn't have proto-f@gs clown-stomping every other pub match. Those items/ships are detrimental to fun gameplay for newer players.
All they had to do at launch was create tiers based on the security of the system, adjust rewards accordingly and limit what meta gear can be used in the match. If you want to play with lower sp friends then you need to "ship down" so-to-speak. An organized team will still wipe an unorganized pub group, but it wouldn't be nearly as painful and the perception of unattainable power due to the perceived gear-gap would diminish.
Unfortunately, even if it were implemented tomorrow, it would most likely be a day late and a dollar short. The Dust player base is probably too small to implement an effective matchmaking system. So much wasted potential. |

There are only two problems, 1. Matchmaking system is not balanced. Balancing matches is a must to create enjoyable experience. Matching players skill level to ensure good players are playing against good players should be the goal. I shouldn't be able to join a match, regardless of which kind and have the teams unbalanced. It creates a greater experience for the majority of participants when the chances of winning or equal or as close to equal as possible. If you have joined or. created an excellent team, you should be matched up against quality opponents or at least a quality team. There should be no reason to complain about Proto stomping if the matches are fair and balanced. Those who can run pro to builds should be playing against opponents who are just as capable of running the same gear, have the same skill level, and have the knowledge required to win a battle. This is not the case in the majority of matches and its a huge draw back for the game.
2. You mentioned the fact that teaming and creating large, powerful teams in CoD... Well to counter this in CoD there is a Mercenary setting. Whereby if you want to pick up and play, you don't run into a situation where you battle against an elite squad. There are a lot of benefits to teaming and working together, but there needs to be an option for players to login and play a quick, evenly matched and balanced game.
If the elite want to team up into elite teams and "Porto stomp" the weak in ambush or whatever, that's fine for them. But , honestly ruins the experience for the other team, as well as sometimes other members of your own team. Matches should be made so that both sides can win, so strong teams play strong players and teams. If you don't think match making balancing is a serious issue then you don't enjoy a challenge and a video game should be a enjoyable challenge. Unless its demon's souls.

Nobody is saying that You can't go full squad on pub or even qsync. I don't know why people change their fits to proto when they see that enemy are most militia newberries. Is it fun to go 20/30/40 to 0 with guys who can't do anything else than spawn&die. Very heroic. Make screenshot how U pown noobs. Fantastic.
When I see newberries I stick to my dragonfly fit. People dragonfly / militia with full core skills is same as adv tier. But no... The one shoot kill is what I need... Lol

What is funny is that you claim that I am mad, or butthurt, etc, when my initial contribution to this thread was a single line.
I don't care if people proto stomp. I don't care if people q sync FW. But when you Q sync pubs that is just sad. Because there is only one outcome from a q sync in pubs unless your team is awful, and that result is a complete redline within maybe 90 seconds.
Redlining an unorganized team is not going to improve your game, will not address strategic or tactical flaws, and might not even provide a noticeable improvement in communication.
Next, I hear people saying that q syncing pubs is fun. If standing at the enemy redline, picking them off as they dare to come out is fun for some people, I can't fathom that. It is boring, aside from the occasional trolling that ends up going on, but again, that certainly isn't helping teams get better.

I don't think you understand my previous point. I don't play like playing pubs because they are boring. Being on the stomping side means I can run a blaster, rack up a bunch of kills, and be bored to tears. Being on the stomped side means I am forced to hang back, and counter rail, because any team that q syncs a pub is going to spam MLT tanks all match. Having to stay back and slowly pick of weak ineffective tanks is just as boring as stomping noobs.
Squad of six in a pub on the other side, my team can still win, if I carry. Team of twelve will farm the reds no matter what I do. Knowing the outcome before the battle takes all the fun out of the game.
Q syncing pubs is just exploiting a broken matchmaker to get easy games. Which if you are in a reputable corp should make you hang your head in shame.
My first response to this thread still stands, and I have yet to see a compelling defense of q syncing pubs.

Yeah, yeah, welcome to New Eden, HTFU. But you see I don't care, I live with this.

The problem is that everyone hates on big or top corps/alliances with little to no reason like if you enter a match and see a squad of AE, ppl automatically think they're going to use proto or spam tanks when really its ppl from the 10 other players useing proto and spaming tank. but nope the blame and hate always goes to the big corp just because who they are and the fact that they finish top of the match leaderboard so they must of used proto right. if you ask me thats kind of corpist |

I don't have a problem with queue syncing, I also would support a team deploy option, but you must admit there has to be something that separates you, a vet with a squad or more of proto users, to new players, there must be something in the game that makes you "pick a fight with someone your own size"
Yes this something would probably have you fighting other high end corps that are also queue syncing but deal with it, and why deal with it? Because you can, there's nothing wrong with having an easy match now and again to take a break from the hard fights but until something like PVE or player selected match "difficulty" is in the game I believe that people who have been around for a while should take a hit so that new players can have room to move, but if you only want to fight noobs all the time then you are definitely part of the problem.

I'm curious if maybe there just isn't enough people to do matchmaking by SP. Although I wouldn't mind waiting a full minute or 2 if it meant I would get a balanced game 95% of the time. Pub should be balanced, FW should be where the potential imbalances are.

So I've read this thread and others. I looked into the game EVE and so some things there. So the veteran players can't take their best gear into a fight. That still doesn't make them new. It only evens the playing field in that they need to get hit less. But they still have the knowledge. So they fit their destroyer or cruiser and head and into the area of the game where the new people are. It is knowing how to use what you have that makes the difference. Regardless of meta level. Tactics and knowledge are the greatest tools to success.
Real world example in the reverse. The Regular Vietnamese army could not go head to head with the US military instead they used tactics and knowledge of the land and what they had with them to hold their own. Same thing applies here. You could give the best trained special forces gear from the 70s and 80s and they would still win guaranteed. Instead of this proto-stomping it would adv-stomping.
So let's say they restrict meta level in corporate matches to adv or below. And those same 12 queue together. Do you think their chances of success are that much lower because of gear? I don't think so. |

There is no method in stopping it, until there is it is simply human nature to win. We are a competitive species. We thrive in high stress, competitive areas. Do what you can to win. It is a species trait in nature. |

I don't place a lot of blame. I can hold my own against squads. I do empathize with new guys.

The big corps can just pay out ISK for their guys to "proto stomp" pub matches and essentially drive away the lesser players. I say bring back corp battles and maybe let them place bets against each other or something. y does everyone think the "big" corps just give out isk all carefree and **** well idk about other corps but ik for a fact that DDB and STB don't just give out isk for no reason and running out of proto suit isn't a reason by anyones standards well maybe not all but some do or at least MUST. it only takes 2 deaths in a proto suit to lose money for that match, considering 2 full proto suits will cost dang near 300,000 ISK or more. Die thrice and you're certainly "in the hole". Most of the big corps I run into in pub matches are running full proto every time I see them and most are dying a good 4 times or more. |

I don't care about "stomping" or "noobs" or any other meta nonsense. I play Dust 514 because it supports large organizations of players called corporations. That is literally the only draw this game has right now. So, if you tell me "hey, you can't play with large groups of your corp mates anymore" then I'll just quit playing the game entirely.
That being said, when we're qsyncing we always stick to Faction Warfare. Nobody is saying that You can't go full squad on pub or even qsync. I don't know why people change their fits to proto when they see that enemy are most militia newberries. Is it fun to go 20/30/40 to 0 with guys who can't do anything else than spawn&die. Very heroic. Make screenshot how U pown noobs. Fantastic. When I see newberries I stick to my dragonfly fit. People dragonfly / militia with full core skills is same as adv tier. But no... The one shoot kill is what I need... Lol Biggest screws are those who can't realise the versatility of vet player. We can make hundrets of dropsuits, each different, each for other purpose. Fresh player don't even know half of things that You can wear. Challenge, challenge, challenge.
The problem is that matches like the ones you are describing are not going to be fun for anyone, regardless of what gear the "stompers" are wearing. If we're qsynced up with 12+ guys from the corp all on comms, and we see that we're up against a random smattering of 16 solo players, we know going in that it's going to be quick and boring.
So what are the options?
1. We can all throw on militia gear and sit back and give them some "mercy hacks" and drag the game out an extra 15 unnecessary minutes of putzing around
or
2. We can just throw on the proto gear, redline their team within 2 minutes, and have the thing over in a few minutes so everyone can queue back up and hope for a more evenly matched game.

Q-synced pub-stomps just de-value the skills of involved players After battle when you think you did a GG, take a look at scoreboard
Wow! 12 of you just took out 10 guys from an NPC corp! Badass!! lol
Well, it's a good thing Dust 514 is a casual low-skill pub shooter. There is literally no way in Dust 514 to be "badass," nor is there anything that could be classified as "the skills of involved players."
For many the only reason they're here playing is because it's a free, easy, and mildly entertaining activity to partake in while hanging out in voice chat. |

Or option 3:
Not be scrubs and stack pub matches. Take that to FW and face off against at least a squad of meaningful competition.
Seriously, this isn't rocket science.

1- This game's fitting system is much less complicated then EVE's. The only role I can think of that isn't "Fit as many buffer mods as possible" is a scout. Or a glass cannon, which has arguable effectiveness, depending on the situation.
2- This isn't the real world. This isn't Nam. If it was, then the turrets in EVE wouldn't be instant, Spaceships wouldn't just hold dead still in orbit, and light would go on forever. And cloning would be ridiculously expensive, and probably illegal some places. Just because the Vietnamese beat the US Army doesn't mean that a video game should have the same effect. If DUST was going for that, then I could understand that you know, that be a thing. But this isn't that. This a game which, if you want a more accurate representation, would be more conventional war.
The idea that anything would COMPLETELY level the playing field is crazy and dumb, but making so those in big corps, with the funding, the SP, and the fact the over half the team are all in their corp are either not completely overwhelming to those in lower-tier gear. I find it funny that you think that a bunch of dudes in 400-575 HP suits w/ standard guns can fight off an almost full line up of protobears in 800-1000 HP suits, with weapons that sneeze and wipe out half the population of Texas can be fought an any way the game demands you play.
It can't, unless you hang in the redline and play "Guerilla Style" and take pot shots at the bears with your sniper. Which can't be done if you trained as a frontline assault (Which a large majority did).
Teamwork can only bring you so far against people with twice the health as you.

You don't really win control of real planets in FW. 2. All games have winners and losers. Some games give out medals to everyone. DUST is no exception. You can grenade suicide, go 0/40, directly cause your team to lose, and STILL get 3000 sp and 150k isk EVERY match. 3. My 7 yr old kid made a DUST acct and can get 20 kpm. There is simply no excuse for blaming the other guy's gun, tank, squad, corp, or mother for you trying to play DUST like it was COD. 4. If you do find yourself vapor locking over this game, it's prolly time for a break. Even if you never come back to it, DUST 514 is was free, and you are out nothing. My 3 yr old poodle gets 26kpm there is no reason noobs don't get at least 30 kpm duh! Its their own fault lol!

Xander is right. Nothing wrong with wanting your guys that you can run comms with on your team. It's keeps me from cussing out the stupidity of blueberries. However, there is somethingg wrong with checking the leaderboards, seeing no actual squads, and deciding to run proto gear in the pubs?!
If I can kill the reds with a frontline suit, why use proto gear? I'm not in the business of pouring salt in wounds. I fight the enemy with as much intensity as the next man. In the pubs it's advanced and below. FW it's kid gloves off advanced gear and up. PC is a waste of time and risk honestly, but if the corp goes in so do I.
If you're as good as most of you claim, you don't need proto gear to make up for the lack of tactics and stick skills. If you never saw me in faction warfare you wouldn't know I had proto gear lol. My wallet is more important than my k/dr, and my reputation precedes the hell out of me for being a "knife fight in a phone booth" type of guy. Running lower level gear saves you money, keeps the stick skills honed, and keeps you grounded. A lot of you think your better than you are. That's just fact.
I love a good q since like the next man because you can communicate with more members, but we ain't q sincing in full proto in the pubs. That's pathetic.

Ah true, my own corp spends 99% of our time in Faction Warfare, but I've noticed very little (if any) difference in the level of play between the modes. 9 out of 10 of our FW matches are against 16 randoms that put up little to no resistance. FW/Instant is pretty much 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

We que sync all the time. Last night was militia gear night, it makes it a lot more challenging and really makes you think about every move when wearing more "squishy" suits.
When it comes time to run the proto, it makes you that much more effective.
