normally for a bad match we get 1000-2000 skillpoints or so. now we got 0  even with our boosters were not getting the skillpoints. for an hour weve played and lose badly and earned no points |

Hell, I'll help you guys out in game if you want it.
sometimes dont get the chance to haha 3 of the friends have left game now. they didnt like it much before but now they cant even progress in game because they lose so badly. theyve gone back to destiny and call of duty on ps4  |

Take this as a suggestion: Get better (use uplinks, injectors, repair tools, use a dropship or lav with a mobile cru in it, mass fire on enemies with something that you don't need to aim well like a mass driver).
If you're getting below 150wp's you are not carrying your own weight, speaking as someone who regularly feels like I have to drag my team kicking and screaming to victory it ****ing sucks to have people who don't contribute as teammates.
Here's a question: What are you doing in a match that you are consistently ending it with less than 150wp?
were getting killed before we cant even move from spawning in. we were 2 logistics and 2 heavy suits but as soon as we spawn and try to put uplink down away from enemy team they found us and killed us and destroyed our uplinks.
how are we supposed to 'get better' when we cant even earn skillpoints?
several games its not just my squad but other players as well who have low warpoints and i guess are also not receiving skillpoints because of it |

uninstalled game now anyway. it was not fun before but at least when i did badly i got a small amount of skillpoints to make my character better. too many times i have games were enemy are using highest tier stuff and i cannot afford to buy it and so now i just get less chance of getting better. the skill point gap expands greater between myself and them. its a silly system. just because the charatcter is old im supposed to be super awesome and if im not i dont progress or progress very slowly. i took a break for several months because of unfair matchmaking. game isnt any better. perhaps i will try again in a few more months when i gain more passive skillpoints 
bye for now peoples |

im not only one getting low warpoints. several of the matches people from 8-10 place on leaderboards had less than 100-200 warpoints. game lasts around 5minutes and team clones are depleted |

whats point of playing now? I have a few questions for you. 3. Are you really that bad? Here are pointers for earning SP. - Hack objectives and installations. - Drop equipment (nanohives, uplinks). - revive and rep team-mates. - Shoot at opponents (you're bound to get some kills and assists). - Try destroying vehicles and installations.
yes i am haha i use a logistics because im not a very good first person shooter player so i use a medic to still contribute. i have some good games were i can get 2000 warpoints if i repair a good heavy suit but then there are times when i play with small squad or solo and i constantly die when i try to repair or place uplinks and ammo.
before if i did badly i would still get skillpoints but more and more i face teams that kill al our teams clones in less than 5 minutes of the ambush timer

The Definition of insanity, "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" If you continue to go at a situation in the same manner and get negative results, it is time to think of a counter to at least be competitive. Have some Scout suits fitted for situations where standing off toe to toe with a large skilled enemy force with just 4 people in tanking and healing gear is not going well(Which would be often). If you got somewhat positive results? Sure I could understand the repetition in action.. but 150 points with a tank/ healer setup? Grab some Scout suits and a cloak for very minimal SP and go lay some uplinks and hack stuff behind the enemy's main group... You can play this game without even firing a bullet and contribute more then a slayer that went 20-4 against a stacked team.
you dont really have much choice in the ambush mode. if there are no spawn points you have to take pot luck and the 'smart' deploy isnt very smart.
i have said before that there are times i can get 2000 warpoints by being a medic i will follow a heavy or assault around and do what i can to contribute but i cannot always get into a squad because of time zone differences and so at times i get low warpoints. before it wasnt such an issue because i still got skillpoints even if it was a lower amount it was better than zero
i play the other game modes from time to time but they dont pay out enough isk for me to afford to run my suits to play them consistently so i have to go into the ambush game mode where i get paid 100,000-200,000 isk a match.
you have the stomp games and so many of the team end up with low or none warpoints. like i have said in a previous post it is not just me but many other of the players. sometimes half the team barely scrape with 150 warpoints and the person at top of our side only has 500 or so warpoints.
if the matchmaking would have been better or the smart spawn worked then it wouldnt be too bad but the game is still not enjoyable to play for a casual player that isnt a great player but we shouldnt be excluded from a game because were not the best at it. people may want to be ignorant to the issue but that ignorance is what drives the new players away and in the chat channels i have i notice less and less people in them as they have become fed up of the game and how poorly it plays and these are players who have been here for 2 years.
im sure many of the playerbase love the game so why be so ignorant to its faults and hostile to new/casual players. in time you will be the only people playing and so will just be going around being the kings of an empty castle. some people are not the best players but they should still be able to enjoy the game and not be halted in their progression by simple being told to 'get good' i enjoy the style of the game and have played on and off for about 18months but i have experienced nothing but bad matchmaking and continual losses that prevent me from using anything better than level 1 items and it is that which takes all the fun from the game and which is why i just uninstalled it again. there is nothing to keep me playing, i cant progress unless i 'get good' well truth is im an average player who has no delusions of his abilities and who has just gone back to playing the likes of destiny and call of duty where im not punished for being an 'average joe' |

There is no sense in getting mad at something you know exists but can avoid.
I don't think I have heard one person who likes smart spawns, but many of those who do not, like myself, almost never play ambush.
Save yourself the headache and play skirmish.
it appears that people are quite the simpletons and not very good at understanding english. i mentioned in my last post that i play skirmish and domination as well but i dont earn enough money in them to buy even basic suits because i do quite poorly because as ive said before im not a great player and seeign as people dont seem to be able to understand that not everyone has the abilities i will clear up the reasoning behind me not being a great player below.
Sequal's Back wrote:Can't you even do 150WP??? You're not bad. You are TERRIBLE!!!!
yes it would appear ive mentioned this several times before. would you like a medal for pointing that out?
to clear up why im a bad player. i have limited dexterity in my left hand due to a procedure when i was younger which resulted in me having a slight palsy in my left hand and face. telling me to 'get better' is something im not fully in control of. the reason i liked the concept of dust is purely because of the repair tool and the prospects that i didnt have to be as accurate or manouverable as in many games and could follow a heavy suit around with the repair tool and despite not being a brilliant player i could still contribute in my limited capabilities. does it suck? yes of course it does but i have managed so far but with the new update, when i have bad games im severely punished now by not receiving any skillpoints. in other games i may be limited in my actions but im also not held back because of how my restrictions limit me |

Might have been good to open with "Hey, my hand is jacked up because of palsy and its hard for me to play! What can I do to get more than 150wp so I can gain skill points?"
Would have gotten you a different reaction and a different thread.....intelligence, use it.
why should it matter? its not stopped me from playing and progressing in other games and it hasn't done so in dust up until tuesday 
i know how to get warpoints. ive been a logistics player since i signed up. my issue is that since the patch tuesday if i have a string of bad games i dont earn skillpoints |
