zzZaXxx Vengeance Unbound 649	Posted - 2014.11.11 17:42:00 - [1] - Quote 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.

EDIT: And I don't actually like soloing as much as squadding but often that's my only option. 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. Closed Beta Vet (E3 Build), Former PFBHz Best Corps Battled (Personally): Imperfects, TeamPlayers, Hellstorm

This is suggested often as a cure for imbalanced matches, but the player base for DUST is already quite small, and fracturing it further would create even longer matchmaking times and mean seeing more of the same faces every fight. Imagine if queuing into every match took as long as FW matches take. The player base would shrink even further. Simply put, soloing is hard mode. That's why there's the squad finder and corporations. Dust can be frustrating. (Gò»°Gûí°)Gò»n+¦ Gö+GöüGö+)

Its like you lose a couple of matches and get stuck on the winning team then win a few and get stuck on the losing team leaving an obvious back and forth. The same even happens to some extent with squads but not to the same extremes. Rest assured tho if you win a tough match with a squad you will be up against 16 of the toughest enemies Scotty can find on the next one. We have joked many times that you would be better off afking every other match just so you do not get stuck in the pending steam roll Scotty will attempt to hand you.

No I don't think turning off squads would increase player retention. I think it would make the forums worse and I think it would make the game worse.

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui VEHICLEBUSTERS Demolitions and Logistics Corp . 1377	Posted - 2014.11.11 21:35:00 - [22] - Quote Funny that were talking about this when , Rattati ... not to long ago made a post where he talked about changes that would not segregate the solo players but here we are having this discussion and talking about how a solo game mode would break this game . I personally don't think so and that would be a good thing for the NPE and lone wolf players . Wish I had the link but it just seems like it was all a ploy . Solo play is crap and does suffer and you would find more playing solo then playing in a squad seeing as how in a pub you find a lot of players who get thrown into a match that's clearly not in a squad and or a corporation . Could it be that a squad play only mode wouldn't be as popular ???? I think that you have a lot who play this game , that's afraid of competition and that's part of the reason for proto stomping and squad stomping as well . Would be nice to see how a mode like such would be popular besides playing PC and FW . I think pubs should be nothing but random players put together , q-syncing pubs is just scrubby . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

xavier zor G0DS AM0NG MEN General Tso's Alliance 202	Posted - 2014.11.11 23:28:00 - [25] - Quote MU level has nothing to do with this problem. Team balancing does though (which uses MU) 32 people search for a match. They all get put into the same one. A squad is in there as well. Say the whole squad collectively has an average MU of 44 (highest MU is 105.2). Team balancing will match the squad with 6 other players, could be 2 proto-stompers with 4 blueberries or 6 decent guys, to average 44. Then the rest of the players are dispersed among the 2 teams. The 6 people meant to match up with the squad play solo, don't watch each other's backs and can't plot coordinated attacks. The squad can THIS is why matches are one-sided Highest plasma cannon kill: 132 metres

A team made up of only solo can still be a team based game. Winning would therefore only depend on what the team is made up of. I'd like to see pubs with no premades and no comms to provide the new or casual solo player with an even playing field. Then, premades will have to go against premades, woth comms and not be able to stomp for WP. I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.

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 or "pairs-only" mode would be a nice stepping stone for people that probably solo'd their way through the Academy. Set your goals high, and shoot for the moon; even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

A specific solo-only mode need not break anything. Just do a filter system like the one we have now that handles Bush, Dom, and Skirm.

I cannot effectively play on a squad because when I activate voice, my system lags terribly. When I run solo, I do really well, until I get steamrolled by a roaming squad, and they move in so quickly that there's no escape. If a solo game type were added, I would run that EXCLUSIVELY, and I'm certain that many others would as well. This game type would most likely become the new choice PUB type. Great for NPE, too.

Used to be the case that if your team was getting stomped you could still run around and have fun. But now the teams are so unbalanced this is impossible as you immediately have the entire enemy team on you. Meanwhile, if youre in a squad its an instant win, and hard even to find anyone to shoot at. Please restore the matchmaking from a year ago. It wasnt perfect but it was better.

EDIT: And I don't actually like soloing as much as squadding but often that's my only option. 95% of the time, im running solo. As a solo player , playing FW for me is just impossible. - Berries get stomped by corps like Prima Gallicus or Molon Labe all the time. - Stomping is so bad that 90% of the time i dont see a single blue berry on my tac net map...sometimes not even on my line of vision. - The lack of ISK payout and the lack of LP points payed for a player that sacrifices all to try to win are more than enough for me to never play FW. (well i need a squad, i'll post something about tha soon) -In pub matches, since i play skirm i have a little more chance. At least if im getting proto stomped i can take out my proto an defend at least 1 objective. The thing is, TEAMWORK should be powerful but not OP. The problem i that in DUST 2 of WHATEVER is stronger than 1 of the ''best''. I mean, if you run your PROTO fits , you can easily be bested by 2 MLT fits if they are working together. Sounds like its working as intended no? So what happens when 6 players are using PROTO and running together vs a team for RANDOMS? Exactly. PROTOSTOMP. but all and all, meh. I dont care. I still have fun . But im poor so someone give me Iskies. The best Damage mod is a HEADSHOT....

EDIT: And I don't actually like soloing as much as squadding but often that's my only option. 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. 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. Reading is hard I wish my avatar was Minmatar.
