If its laggy, I don't blame mass leaving. I doubt anyone has 80% accuracy, your talking out of your backside. My wyrkomi swarm isn;t even that accurate

Anywho, I've talked to a few new players, and they all said matchmaking is working wonders. Now, I'm not calling you a pile of bull, but there is probably a reason to why you're being placed against them. Either, they are bad, or you are good. Perhaps the current alt that you are using started out extremely well due to being placed with newbros and now you're suffering the consequences. Either way, if you keep at it, eventually Scotty will realize that you're actually a nub-a-dub-wub-wub and place you with lesser-skilled players. In other words, adapt or die.

What are we going to do when there is no one left but us bitter vets. Guys come on. Think for the god of the game. (Rant over) Amarr assualt + shotgun + hellfire= illuminati confirmed

And let's not forget us die hard mercs need these players to not keep quiting. I am saying that he would more likely have more fun matches if players didn't choose to mass leave matches. He would more likely have more fun matches if he played a different game.

I usually am neither but even I have my moments of evil. But bluntly having a high KD is more like a bonus rather than a necessity. There's never enough shposting going on, so let's add a few more teaspoons of the guy posting after me to the recipie!
al nize mk2 No Skillz inc. 360	Posted - 2015.05.05 08:13:00 - [40] - Quote kunta kintay wrote: So I have about 1.5 mil sp and not even 100k lifetime wp and yet consistently I am being place into matches with the opposing side being of top tier corps like OH, Arendee, Planet Express etc. my KDR is horrible I can barely wear a basic adv suit with all basic equipment. the ** is this logic? why am I placed against these teams with a mix of NPC corps and no name corps. This is compounded when they see who they are facing and mass leave. You realize that new players means an influx of more potential money correct? why the ** would i want to spend money on this game when all I am good for at this point is to just give the vets kills? So if you're genuinely a new player and not an alt (and I guess I should just take your post at face value!) then clearly you should be joining a corp that can help train you up to not die so much. and gain WP to make better isk and SP. These corps exist believe me - shouldn't be too hard to find one and it will make the game much more fun. I was also thinking that your KDR issue is a fair enough point. When I started it infuriated me how dreadful my KDR was - but then I got over it and really I don't care anymore. But a good way of changing this and surviving longer is to scout. Buy a cloak. Hack stuff, skirt the battlefield and find new ways to make points and help your team that don't involve face to face fighting. It's a legit tactic and can be a lot of fun.. GÇ£All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.GÇ¥

Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 947	Posted - 2015.05.05 09:14:00 - [41] - Quote Matchmaking is working cause if you look at the weekly leaderboards the top players average KD dropped by 50%. Thats cause the matchmaking is trying to put them against similar skilled players and not just fresh grunts out of the acedemy. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

I went 0/14 w 404WP in my first match yesterday, I was playing solo it happens. Joined a squad, went 6/2 w 1015 WP. it happens. You're going to get steamrolled in some matches. You're going to steamroll in others. It happens.

Match making was golden up until about 3 days ago I dont know what happened I am playing at the same time as always yet it is exponentially harder. I am not talking about academy that lasted about 4 games for me but all the 50 games or so before the 3 days ago. Maybe I have horrible luck lately I dont know but 8milita and 6 adv and a proto here and there dont have much luck against squaded up proto vets and its very disheartening. I am trying to stick with it but how much fun is it honetly when you are trying your damnest to help the team putting links flying your viper with a MCRU trying to shift the dynamic but its for not and you consistently are 2/15? What time of day do you play at?
PADDEHATPIGEN BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 202	Posted - 2015.05.05 13:38:00 - [45] - Quote Expect for those few players that started very early in closed beta and who is still here, WE ALL WENT THROUGH IT. We all started as a newbee and got killed a lot by older, more experienced players. Let me ask you all a few questions: Do you REALLY a want to fight protos only when you get to proto yourself ? Don't you ever want the feeling you get when you finally kill some proto in your newbee gear ? Don't you ever want the feeling of being better trained and in better gear then the once you are fighting? Also just wait until you get to proto and find you can't afford to play in it wery often and you run in to the real proto players that have hundreds of millions if not billions of ISK and can afford to play proto ALL THE TIME, and remember that those players will be the ONLY players you will ever fight when you get to proto yourself, if matchmaking is to work the way your all asking for. BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT.
