For the first time I can remember - I was part of an extreme protostomp. Doing the stomping you understand. I'm sure I've been in stomps before but never quite so blatant.
I've got to be honest I thought it would be fantastically funny and that I would feel like I'd earned the right to laugh maniacally due to the work I've put in to g even slightly g.
But actually I felt a bit embarrassed and kind of bad for the victims.
Didn't stop me blasting them to bits of course but you take my point....

hold that wrote:you get any hatemail from one of these type dudes -> Something like "protostomping in pubs ruins the games for new players and is a classless act."
No hatemail as I was way down the list. But it did feel entirely classless. Also if you compare the simple entertainment value of stomping a team of newbs to actually fighting for the victory there is no contest.
fighting an even battle = watching The Raid
involved in a stomping = watching Speed 2

as for proto and squads.. squads are pretty much synonymous with proto stomping as players feel safer running proto so they are more likely to run proto while in a squad.
although I'm at proto level sp wise I literally never run proto suits - only ever advanced. proto is too expensive and I would go bust pretty quickly..
if there was no gain to the advanced dropsuit per level I would respect and not bother with prototype suits - just the weapons.

naw id equate protostomping to watching judge dredd mowing down badguys in DREDD
I was literally just talking about Dredd to someone at work. Shameful as it is - I preferred the Stallone version...

oh well, just tell me it was at least a little bit funny :P
i know theres a huge cult following but i was never really interested[/quote]
Likewise for me - although I did enjoy Shayz video because it was surprisingly dust-like even down to the red hats!
ps - I suppose if Darth Plagueis The Wise was involved in a game of Dust then "he could even stop the ones he cared about... from dying..." so no danger of a stomp there

I'd like to see a Militia/STD only queue, and all the new players would be automatically shunted into it. You couldnt run anything better than STD in it regardless of your skill levels. New players need a real long term solution to keep them from having to work on basic skills while being stomped on by prototype squads.
Yes squads full of stompers can still queue and play STD league but at least it would be fair at a fundamental gear level, so the reason the newbies die will never be "that guy had literally 4 times my health even though we are both using assault suits".
I agree with your idea - I know it takes the hard edge off the world of eve a bit and I know that's something CCP are proud of - but I also know there are players who are good gamers in general but who leave Dust because of the crazy difficulty curve.
From the other perspective I specifically got into Dust because it was unforgiving and made me work like a demon. But not everyone is like that.

In my first pub match of the day now. Lost by a huge margin - most of the other team were from Nyain San. Everyone knows these are guys are c***s right?
I mean are they all related somehow?
lol - yep they are one of the biggest and baddest corps around. On the plus side once you get good enough and start to take them on a bit - it feels really good!

I'm with you on both accounts, sometimes the berries just need to see someone is still trying and that's enough to rally the troops. I remember one Dom match specifically getting stomped the whole time, managed to hack over the objective with 2 pts of armour left and and the whole team just dug in and thought "umm not this time bitches". Probably one of the only times I've really been proud of a win.
bravo and that's me as well. must be an underdog thing - but the truth is even a couple of determined blueberries can turn the tide of a semi-stomping if they perform heroically enough.
