maluble Art.of.Death 227	Posted - 2015.03.27 16:47:00 - [1] - Quote Ccp literally shot themselves in the foot from the get go by not introducing meta locks or something similar. All my friends played for 3-4 days tops and gave up do to unbalanced matches. Majority of people game for fun/relieve stress, yet as a new player this is not the case. People have been posting about it for years and nothing has been done yet they wonder why the game never reallt took off. If this mentality carries over to legion it will fail, the pc community is diffrent than console they wont throw nearly as much $ at a broken game when they can go to steam store and get 5 good games for less that $100. Fire evert person that had anything to do with dust and hire people who take pride in their work.

I have the feeling there are higher-up people at CCP who are ultimately limiting this games success because they are too stupid to know better. CCP should probably consider clearing house on some of the upper management and use that extra money to hire on more developers.

Beleive it or not CCP has been improving the game. However you need to understand that after the Rogue Wedding, the staff for Dust 514 has been cut down to a skeleton crew. Sure matchmaking is sh!t I'll give you that one but don't scream for all their heads to roll just yet. I find your lack of heaviness... disturbing...
Krixus Flux Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 551	Posted - 2015.03.27 17:06:00 - [4] - Quote No, last year's FF pretty much ejected most of the player base. Matchmaking isn't the problem bro. You can't have 6 apples in a basket and complain it has no variety bro. Saying what's on people's minds

Most people never even heard of dust unless they played eve.

They basically already did... And CCP Rattati was the result. (Thank god) And BTW, don't say they haven't tried to fix matchmaking. If you don't remember Uprising 1.4, you either weren't here or have developed severe memory loss. The recent TeamBuilder was also introduced, and they are looking at the core Matchmaker logic again in Warlords 1.1 or 1.2.
Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 1596	Posted - 2015.03.27 18:55:00 - [8] - Quote Matchmaking is crap but it is a difficult problem to solve. I have seen no PvP game do it well. Having squads makes it next to impossible. You can balance six good players playing together very few times when matched up against random players. The odds of their being six equally good players on the other side is too small. Because, that's why.
Soldner VonKuechle SAM-MIK General Tso's Alliance 1837	Posted - 2015.03.27 19:04:00 - [9] - Quote maluble wrote: my crew and i weren't god -mode in 4 days, nor did we understand this fake universe is built on disadvantages, treachery in a cold dark unhelpful way, and since i didn't want to put in effort or unlearn my twitch skills this non matchmaking system that allows the weak to be preyed shuts out any weak lazy player that can't handle being defeated or adapting. Ratatti is building an actual matchmaking system, as stated in the fanfest round table. Come back then or just please shut up, we know. Time for a platform jump. Dust to WiiU!
Mad Syringe ReDust Inc. 660	Posted - 2015.03.27 19:07:00 - [10] - Quote The problem is that CCP in it's core has a severe HTFU and we like to drink your tears attitude... This has worked with EVE, because they had a monopoly, but Dust has shitloads of competition, since there is more than one fps in the gameworld. If CCP doesn't change corporate attitude by a big margin, they won't get anything but niche games. I highly doubt, that people like hilmar get, that gamers do not have fun beeing stomped into oblivions for several month before the games even start to get slightly better. And even the vets don't get good games, they either stomp, or get stomped, and maybe one in ten games is halfway decent. I just played 6 losses in a row, and quite frankly, I have enough for today, no need to waste more time for this letdown of a game...

Green Means Go Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 45	Posted - 2015.03.27 19:09:00 - [11] - Quote The game was sabotaged by a disgruntled employee! I read his reply a year or so ago on some job website for CCP. He was not happy how he was treated/fired.... Slave laborer? I contacted him and he gave me the master cheat codes for dust<-------Joking! In all honesty, the PLAYERS ruined dust! Blame the cheaters, exploiters, lag switchers, afk'ers, farmers and just plain rude gamers. Blame the guys who leave the match who are to SCARED to fight a worthy opponent. One merc can make a difference! I had one of the most EPIC battles of all time's a couple days ago (dom)..... It was a true bloodbath! We were losing by a landslide. Enemy had 3/4 shields left, we had 1/2 armour left on MCC. Three friendly heavies and myself were able to retake the objective and turn a losing battle into a win. By the end of match, each side had less then 10 clones. These are the kinds of battles I play dust for! It is like a drug you could never buy. Most players had high hopes for dust. We were promised things that never materialized. CCP showed of abstract art of things to come... Got our hopes up and then smashed them in 2014. Fanfest 2014, a day no dust merc will forget!

I think the lack of maps and sockets is what hurt it, that and new players not being allow to accrue SP at a faster rate. Twitch & YouTube
Darken-Sol BIG BAD W0LVES 1890	Posted - 2015.03.27 20:18:00 - [13] - Quote Everyone I know stopped caring about the game when legion was announced. We just trying to get a return on our investment. Crush them

Before Legion announcement, I had fought many enjoyable, versatile and competitive battle before Scotty and MU. A game like Dust is the same as MAG and SOCOM in that highly competitive unforgiving MP shooter won't welcome the same numbers you fantasize that it should have.

You put these new guys who dont have a clue what all this crap is with the skills and the dropsuits and you stick them into matches with people who have 40 million SP and run proto 24/7 and nobody is going to stick around.

A game like Dust is the same as MAG and SOCOM in that highly competitive unforgiving MP shooter won't welcome the same numbers you fantasize that it should have. These type of games will always have a certain number playerbase. Actually you really don't sound smart when you say it's like MAG or SOCOM; you have a cap somewhere and while you could redline an opponent there was an upper ceiling on how much they could really limit you. Here are the best examples: capped lvls vs. none in Dust thus why "protostomping exists"; you could pummel opponents or survive higher with better wpns, greater SP's and ISK less of a balanced system based on how long you were active (because you could never actually play a match for a year but if you logged in the passive SP and log-in bonus would still give you a head start on someone installing and playing today) more game modes because saying you have "Faction" and "Corporation" battles doesn't mean you get pub skirmish, faction skirmish and faction skirmish as they're all skirmish less wpn variety meant more controlled elements of the game leading to less issues of how games and equipment can unbalance the game MAG didn't have a huge advertising campaign, only SOCOM did and Dust had the websites covering them due to how CCP was tied to the project and they wanted to see how it would pan out limitless fits in Dust vs. limited builds in many of the other games and creating a fit for every map and situation does actually matter versus being forced to select a number of fits and not being certain which to take for whichever situation Ppl loose interest in shooter games but that's the real problem with Dust, it never felt like they were out of Beta after a year and treated their fanbase like absolute sh*t. Many of those at zipper were forgiven to the extent that overall you payed a one-time fee and that was it really. Never any sense of "P2W", or "I put "X" amount of dollars into the game" or the "oh hey we're creating Legion and zero f--ks given if you disagree". A game like Dust felt like it took too long to be polished with some feeling like they never saw their investment back and still "tweaking" fixes. It's not that it isn't a good game but they just simply mishandled Dust. even Destiny failing to live to its expectation still managed to find ways to keep ppl at least engaged in the game. Dust is just that bad ex you're not sure whether to get back together or simply hate forever.
jade gamester Bragian Order Amarr Empire 197	Posted - 2015.03.28 11:12:00 - [18] - Quote Player Base is the reason for matchmaking, also tier layout, if there's only 3 squads seaching for a battle, 1 team will have the advantaged it's impossible to change unless player Base grew exposedsquad
Onesimus Tarsus is-a-Corporation 3209	Posted - 2015.03.28 11:26:00 - [19] - Quote That's why matching by the short term end result of must player "cheats" (lethality) would have yielded the best results, and we could have gotten on to the corporate sellouts, backstabbing, and petty power-mongering that makes life fun and worthwhile. KDR matchmaking fixes everything but the stupid purple Quafe stuff.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 19072	Posted - 2015.03.28 14:01:00 - [21] - Quote I do not disagree that the lack of a working matchmaker has been one of my biggest disappointments with DUST 514. However, we have been working on a very promising solution and all our internal testing seems to confirm that it works, and that it works well. We will probably deploy the code very soon, and then test it on the live server for an hour or two and monitor closely. This is a real matchmaker, so with that, we will have veterans fighting veterans, and we kept the Teambuilder logic as it was already working admirably. I don't deny it, this is "the thing" I wanted to get fixed the most since Open Beta. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

I look forward to the results because honestly, the game is actually pretty well balanced at least 50% of the time these days.
