U left.....because...too many ppl were leaving

U remind me of some cal fw players

I hate when blues leave battle before the match ends. It's the reason why when queuing up for a battle you get sent to a losing match because a slot just opened!

Oh they still don't try anymore??

Damn, I tell you, pre FF...Dust battles were memorable. Greatest experiences that I won't ever forget shared with friends and enemies. Close call battles and comebacks. Now? I just stick to ambush when I do play. They don't even try in Domination. It's always one team serving ass whoopings like Prince serving pancakes after a basketball game.

Agreed, if you are feeling like playing and I mean really feel like playing, you'll find a way to make something happen.

People padding their W/L ratio by leaving is just sad. How about you still "ear" that win or loss if you've been in the match for more than 50% of its length. Then they have no reason to leave when the MCC hits shields.

But then, most of all I just want the stupid matchmaking to stop spawning me into matches where there's 25% armor left of the MCC or less than X clones. Spawning into a match that just ends is neither fun nor helpful.

/c

It is a natural result of the endless stomping that occurs.

People do not feel like running around with their only accomplishment in the match being that they provided easy kills to stompers. I die often trying to push the objective only to find out that my team is nowhere near me because someone set uplinks between the objective and the enemy base and now the whole team is spawning into a death pincer. Dying won't make people leave the match alone, dying without being able to take enemies with you or accomplish what you are trying to accomplish over and over again makes people leave the match.

Not all stomps end like that. If the team can still fight back and hold off the advancing stompers, even at the redline, the match can still be fun, but when your entire team has fallen apart and you notice a good number uselessly sniping in the redline it is time to say "screw you guys, I'm going home." and leave.

I do not enjoy leaving matches and have only done so a handful of times, but I totally understand why people don't want to spend fifteen minutes dying so some bitter vet can pad their stats.

People play a game to have fun. People do not play a game so other people can have fun at the expense of their own match, after match, after match. It's frustrating, annoying, and downright absurd that this has been going on for as long as it has. Dust is a F2P FPS on PS3 with 3000 players. Obviously there is something terribly wrong here.

I'm a full proto logi but I don't run that gear, in pubs especially (and solo), because one **** in a mlt light frame with a mlt sg can instantly cost me 200k. I'll never recoup that in a pub so f**k that noise. Bpo's are where it's at.

Okey this is 5 minutes ago

Game starts ( pub skirm )

I run hack home point and then the bridge point.
Get ganked.

Before I spawn in I look at the map

3 ppl AFK in the mcc 4 snipers a cupule droping cars in the red line
NO ONE is puching.

Other side

2 stacked squads
2 ADS, 3 tanks and 7-8 ppl running full proto.

I leave

Sorry 4 not trying

I've seen this too OP.

Last night, tried a Dom match solo.

Saw a group of Capital Acquisitions LLC on my team, saw a nice group of Outer Heaven on the other side.
I said, "Nice. Okay, I'll stick around. If those guys try. I'll try too."

Jumped in with my experimental adv gal assault suit, and started wrecking face.

Very good match, very close match.
And when both sides were at the last 25% on MCC, suddenly all the blues on my team stopped moving. They all just stayed back. I was covering the LLC guys and everyone I could. Was a GREAT match. Went 33/9. Not half bad when facing OH, and half decent blueberries.

But we lost, because our side gave up. They had no reason to stop. We had a slight disadvantage on clones, but more than enough to win.
I made out with over 500k isk, even though we LOST. So I made a tidy profit. My suits were about 40k isk a pop. I was wrecking a lot of proto in that match.
If they only stuck it out and won, they probably would've gotten back a LOT of isk.


I messaged rexero on the other side and told them GG.

It sucks to see a good team give up.

most corps, when they see other corps on the opposite side, will back out before spawning,

it's quite sad really.

Union used to be a happy player.

Look at what you did CCP. Look hard and long.

Stop the QQ bra. STHAP!

Ok brah.

So far I have only left/forfeited single digit matches and usually only when my game crashed or when the whole team gives up / does nothing useful.

A few more match modes would actually help.
squad mode, have a squad with 4 merc and then you are put together with other (4 and 8 man) squads and then pit against other teams of that structure.
Infantry only.
Low tier gear so people can be stomped slightly less.
No squad mode.

Just some ideas.

why would you try? with no diferences in payouts whether you win/lose kill or die in public matches why try? does the victory screen mean anything? PC and FW make sense you win you get a better award if your trying in pub matches your doing it wrong.

Yes.
