Just a routine matchmaking whine thread.
Actually just had my team farmed in domination. They put uplinks just outside the letter and faked a push the whole time. What made this most obvious is the fact that they scanned our one tiny cluster of links repeatedly yet never put an OB on them.

I've had a few good solo games recently (probably tuesday) but yeah you are right haha
Can't see how this game can ever appeal to solo players like myself.

Normally I would never solo but I just wanted to check out a couple of matches before I rage quit for a few more weeks. No need to get a squad together for that.

If I have to solo I just go in expecting that my blueberries drink paint thinner and my redberries will be 70m lifetime SP PC overlords. It's just easier that way. Hooray for starter fittings and APEX dropsuits!

Amen to that. Luckily I have all 5 Imperial BPOs with all of them maxed out so I can just go troll face in those.Nothing helps when its you against a 12 man wolf pack, better to just drop some uplinks and spam deaths to try to screw up your MU and get on the winning side next time.
Its really kind of funny how well this demonstrates CCPs backwards thinking. All this time balancing weapons and adding all militia variants only to make matchmaking ensure that 9 out of 10 matches are predecided and newbies will never be around long enough to try out the militia stuff.

I'm a solo player and I have to say that going in alone isn't as bad as what many make it out to be. Sure, I have roughly 30k+ deaths and yes, there will always be bad match ups, but I'm not one who is looking for an easy time when playing. I enjoy the challenge and appreciate all the BS tactics thrown out by protostomping corps. It keeps me on my toes and allows me to devise ways to put up a fight, even whilst redlined and when it seems like no one else is trying. |

From my point - when you are high on ranking ... you don't have much choice. You fight with the best always... and this is 'normal' mode.
Why you bother when you must from time to time fight with best? At last you can see how much you must to improve.
Happy hunting.

Oh, yours are only drinking paint thinner?
I swear the one's I get teamed up with are on bath salts.
When I play solo, which is actually more often than I squad, I'm not worried about winning or losing. I'm worried about inflicting as much monetary damage I can to the other team using my 1K isk blueprint logi suit.
Nothing screams HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA like head-shotting a proto suit with a militia ACR.
(OK, secretly, I still want to win. I just don't expect to)

The issue is being high ranking should not mean that it is you against 12 - 16 other high ranking people with little to no assistance from your team.

All those are good points, until you realize that they're hyper-aggressive, face eating, murder minions that think that rock formation over there is the enemy. |

I like to solo but it isn't for everyone. Im lone wolf by nature so soloing while not always fun is doable.
But being scout is almost always fun.

Going solo is always - what I can do against full enemy team with not much help from blue side.
This is hard road ... but when you see your rank after battle at top you know you do well... solo.
For me it is most fun that I can get from this game.
This road is not for all, but there are people as me that enjoy it. They don't tell that this game is not playable solo.

Its only difficult because of lame scanners...... when you solo and you try to flank by yourself and "you've been scanned" pops up....just know a good 6-8 people are coming your way because they see an easy kill and they are garbage most of the time so they also thirsty for that kill...

This is pretty much the same view I take, you just got to rely on yourself the majority of the time. Ill try and drop links behind the lines and fast hack stuff and generally be a nuisance where possible. Doesnt help when i run solo that i always end up in already started matches or ones that are half way done and im taking over a spot from someone who bailed because not many people like to get there face caved in every match.
But every night I burn.

Dust is the only game that I can think off that punishes you for trying to have a couple of fun and quick matches before running offto do something else in real life.
Why the hell should someone be forced to join or make a sqaud just to play 2 or 3 games?
This game and the community is flawed.

Solo mode is difficult but not unplayable lol, you have to find that role you can play in a match solo without dying a lot and/or being able to help your team out.

More often than not, I run solo (which is reflected in my KDR and W/L). I'd rather have a game where I'm up against tough odds than one where we redline the other team a couple minutes into the match. Your best off running something that is fast, has a bit of range and decent alpha so that you are able to dictate most engagements and finish quickly.

So much this
Scanners have done nothing to make the game better.

I understand you complaints. There certainly has been a big shift. I enjoy playing solo about 50% of the time but times have changed and so has "matchmaking".
I enjoy the challenge of playing solo (my corpmates are too good)
but the biggest change and cause of frustration to me is the pace of matches.
Uplnks are rare now making a losing team lose even harder. Most poeple give up after the first redline (often within the first few minutes) leaving the couple fools like me trying to turn things around by ourselves.
The real sad part is that even when my team is all randoms against a qsync i still hold on to hope and try until my mangled clone is getting clam slammed repeatedly...then reality sets in.

It is hard, in the past several days of trying I found one squad last night that I could join. Everyone in it was speaking Spanish, which I do not understand, but hey, they were nice not to kick me and to let me participate.
EDIT: I should add that I only really play Domination and as such those are the squads I look for.
P.S. I have taken to starting my own squad and listing it. I then wait for people to join, something that doesn't seem to happen. I got one guy who randomly joined my squad while I was in a battle, which was nice. Only took about an hour and a half to get that guy into squad. He stayed for three matches. |
