zzZaXxx Capital Acquisitions LLC 739	Posted - 2015.04.05 16:02:00 - [1] - Quote I was hella worried after day one but number of players in both teams have evened out more. There are still a few 14-6 matches but way more 16-16, 15-14 matches, and a few 12-11 types. But I'll take it because the new Mu threshold is working beautifully and matches are more fun and challenging than before. A bonus is that I get to see some familiar faces more (certain faces I have an insatiable desire to stomp into the dirt in ambush) due to us all being above the threshold. Another hopefully huge bonus for the community is that player retention should improve due to newer players having the scrub version of my experience. I don't even care if they're 80% from Latin America. Screw it, start advertising in Panama. As long as the game stays afloat it's all good.

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 3670	Posted - 2015.04.05 22:24:00 - [3] - Quote I agree. Matches have been getting better and are far more competitive. For me, the easy noob kills are non-existent, and the pace of the matches has picked up. I like it.
LT SHANKS You In The Nutz 5600	Posted - 2015.04.05 22:44:00 - [4] - Quote Matchmaking is great. Last night I played a Dom game against a squad of WarRavens and it was almost dead even, even though our side had only 9 members while their's had 14. In fact we were about 15 clones ahead of them before our MCC blew up.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 11429	Posted - 2015.04.05 23:22:00 - [5] - Quote I'm seeing more and more even matches as well. Even my new-player alt seems to be experiencing better matches now. But by "even" I don't mean both MCCs being equal in armor or shield. A lot of times its a race between between one team with a clone count almost to zero and the other team with the MCC close to critical.

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 1211	Posted - 2015.04.05 23:38:00 - [6] - Quote All i get now is half filled teams and even worse matches than before because of it. Still a one sided stomp but now its even more boring than before. Your matchmaking sucked the last time and it still sucks this time.
robin williams' ghost whisky tango foxtrot sir 1152	Posted - 2015.04.05 23:42:00 - [7] - Quote Overall it seems to be working better than on the first day the new match making was launched. However been getting thrown into a lot of battles that are almost finished, even when deploying with a full squad. Robin Williams endorses this corp
Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 1211	Posted - 2015.04.06 01:04:00 - [8] - Quote Four unbalanced games in a row, one where pretty much nobody would have meet the minimum WP to get SP because once the installations were destroyed there was nobody outside the redzone to kill. Your matchmaking sucked the last time and it still sucks this time.
Onesimus Tarsus is-a-Corporation 3245	Posted - 2015.04.06 01:05:00 - [9] - Quote It seems a bit more balanced. I've seen nothing conclusive. KDR matchmaking fixes everything but the stupid purple Quafe stuff.
Thor Odinson42 Negative-Feedback 6487	Posted - 2015.04.06 01:31:00 - [10] - Quote The only problems seem to be in the higher end. As long as there isn't a full PC squad on one side people seem to fight. When known squads appear, x left battle, x left battle and then the replacements leave because it's match in progress.

APACHE RENEGADE S T E R E 0 5	Posted - 2015.04.06 02:43:00 - [11] - Quote Matchmaking is working properly and yes ppl leaving matches because they're scared of another squad is a thing that ruins pub matches. The only real problem to matchmaking is that it was implemented way too late.
General12912 Gallente Marine Corps 235	Posted - 2015.04.06 04:12:00 - [12] - Quote I have a feeling I'm going to get put back and forth into pro-matches and noob matches. When facing mediocres and noobs, I accel like I should be in the pro category, but when facing "pro" players, I'm not the best. Match swinging, here I come.

zzZaXxx Capital Acquisitions LLC 746	Posted - 2015.04.06 16:40:00 - [13] - Quote So what happens if you joins pub squad in squad finder and half the squad is above the Mu threshold, half below?

The only real problem to matchmaking is that it was implemented way too late. I've noticed quite a few times where one of our squad didn't make it in. There might be an issue there. Additionally, many matches I have been in were 15 to 9 and so on starting out. People were leaving because the odds were stacked against them. Or leaving because the match is already halfway over OR over. I think it's just silly assuming people are leaving because the match is too much of a challenge. This line of thinking is very close minded and soulutions working to that end may not actually fix the real problems going on. Tanks - Balancing Turrets
Atlas Donovan The Immortal Order 45	Posted - 2015.04.06 18:15:00 - [15] - Quote matches have been more fun lately for sure
Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 709	Posted - 2015.04.06 20:09:00 - [16] - Quote For me matches have (in general) been better and closer. There are still the occasional stomp though...
zzZaXxx Capital Acquisitions LLC 747	Posted - 2015.04.07 13:04:00 - [17] - Quote People leaving matches and not being replaced is still a major problem. Matches are starting full or almost full though. I think perhaps a lot of solo artists in the upper Mu bracket aren't used to the new reality and won't accept it, so they leave. I don't know really though why so many matches are ending up uneven.

Mejt0 Dead Man's Game RUST415 1209	Posted - 2015.04.07 13:29:00 - [20] - Quote Then you haven't played in higher tier. It's very often like this : .. x left the battle [4 to 5 players]. I know how Scotty can be annoying but it doesn't do it that often. They're leaving cuz they are scared. But Rattati said if this will continue to happen then he'll figure out some pentaly for doing so. Caldari Loyalist thecreaturehub fan Mejt0 Sale List

Denchlad 7 Negative-Feedback. 2001	Posted - 2015.04.07 14:24:00 - [21] - Quote Meh. If you saw my thread last night you would've seen my entertaining games. That being said, when it works, my God. In the higher tier the games I've had are outstanding. Quite a lot have gone down to the last tick. "Dench stop hitting your head you Caldari pinball" - m621 zma Currently on Dust hiatus.

Knightshade Belladonna Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1042	Posted - 2015.04.07 16:43:00 - [24] - Quote how do you know if you are above or below? I have a horrible KDR , but I get put into fights occasionally with some known names that are supposedly great players. I am a WP ***** though..it the wp earned a big factor in the calculation?
Wasten Anti Her0s 61	Posted - 2015.04.07 17:15:00 - [25] - Quote Well i just played a battle of 9 vs 2 and not one other person joined, so yeah match making is working a treat.
The Eristic Dust 90210 857	Posted - 2015.04.07 18:02:00 - [26] - Quote I keep sitting through long waits to get the same teams over and over in a given game mode. I'm also still getting 2 squads of 2 + bunch of solo players vs a squad of 5-6 + another squad of 3-4 on the other side consistently, which really shouldn't be happening. Reality is the original Rorschach. Verily! So much for all that.
