This (bold) is stronger than even the best 16 uncoordinated players in the game. DUST is primarily a team-based game, and a difficult one at that. If you don't want to get rolled, squad up. If you want an easier time playing, then play an easier game.

Since my corp disbanded, I have run solo exclusively. There are matches I enter where I just get ganked. But because choosing to use (or not use) the squad finder is my own choice, there is no one to blame for getting stomped but myself.

Roll in a squad, use squad finder, or tough it out. You have options. Use them.

Quite literally everyone who solo's would use this instead.

Then you would end up with squads entering games, and no solo'rs would be left to fill in the team slots.

That would be the reality.

Which means every squad game is essentially....


*drum roll*

An old-school style Corp Battle!

(Maybe increase isk payout for squad-only matches a little, since they are practically guaranteed to run each other bankrupt.)


I currently solo. Occasionally, I would be joined by a fellow GIANT, but the others are playing EVE and Destiny, and everything else cept for Dust.
So, I solo.
I love squads! I adore them!
But MOST of the time, I get into a good squad and we run numerous great matches, the moment we hit just ONE bad match, everyone disbands. Everyone flakes. We could go 10 wins, 20 wins, everyone is fine. If we suffer 1 bad loss, everyone quits.

Players take dying or losing a match way too hard and/or personally.

A solo-only mode would help.

Rattati has hinted towards a full team mode that isn't PC. So what you are suggesting would not only break the primary game, but be entirely unnecessary.

Or just add in a solo only game type and be done with it.

Blueberries get rolled by organized squads. Matchmaking got screwed in some way by changes? Please fix it. I like soloing but this is an obvious pattern now. Please readjust Mu or something. Squads working together and pushing as a group versus a team of scattered blues with no communication is not balanced.

EDIT: And I don't actually like soloing as much as squadding but often that's my only option.

Teamwork has nothing to do with whether the team is made up of randoms or solo and organized pre-mades.


Matchmaking can be split between solo random am pre-made squads and still allow for teamwork as the advantage to winning. They are two different types and lvel of teamwork.
