Confirming that I'm Arkena Wyrnspire's John Ripper's Sgt Kirk's Jadek Menaheim's alt.

What's wrong with matchmaking? The only problem I've encountered is players leaving battle. If people weren't such pussies and stayed in games, they'd see that things are relatively balanced.

A lot of people were complaining about farming PC being a game breaking mechanic , isn't farming BPO's along the same lines ? Your stacking a $h!t ton of ISK , draining the pockets of the have not's and creating an unlimited supply for yourself while bankrupting the rest .

Edit : None of you would ever speak up because most of you indulge in this but at the same time a broken mechanic is the same so your silence doesn't mean or make you right .

You guys?

I've never said Dust was going to die. I thought it was after FF 2014, but this situation is much different.

It's boring and there's no other way to put it. I've always complained that people didn't fight hard enough, but now it's reached new levels.

Lol you are in like two of my videos from two weeks ago.

That's weird cause I've play with arkena and kirk many times.. but you.. absolutely NEVER.

My issue is the the perception that it is dying.

That perception is from all the matches that are not starting off as 16 vs 16.

There are already comments and threads on the forums where guys are talking like the playerbase is dwindling so much that they can't even fill up matches.

I know it is the match maker, but the average player don't.

So it is leading to people playing less and and less often.

One of the downside of the risk-reward system that Dust has put in place is that when faced with losing a match, most people skimp on the "risk" side of the equation.

To make matters worse, there is no downside to simply leaving matches, which players/squads are doing with some frequency. Further deepening this challenge is that Scotty seems to not refill those matches fast enough to make a difference.

The combination of the above is leading to what Thor correctly identifies as problematic.

I'm not sure if it is game killing, but something needs to be done, IMO.

You know you can be condescending all you like but it shows the people who really care about the actual health of this game and it's potential to reach across all aspects of potential participants so that numbers can rise and the overall ability of this game can shine , not just to and for those who are willing or can spend the money .

This is the reason why so many bugs linger ( not too many press the issues , they would rather have new and shiny instead ) , numbers have been stagnant on a console that number in the tens of millions but not even a forth of that play this game , not even a 16th of a forth of that ...and it's a shame too but keep on with this type of attitude , it's been going so great for this game so far .

No one wants to address real issues , they would rather get thrown bones and stay content with this hoshposh as long as they feel like their getting something out of the whole mix while you keep playing the same people and their alts over and over .

I guess your content with that , you and a vast majority I suppose .

Edit : I doubt you would be wiling to field standard and militia in a PC match , or would you ?

***** please, Dust has survived far worse than an occasionally glitchy matchmaker.

So just so I understand. You're asking people to fight hard in there best suits (to stay competitive and not get stomped) while loosing 3 or 4 times what they are going to make in that battle so you can have a more enjoyable match. Pfffft. I do think increase payout will make people fight better with better gear an not hold back. And if your worry that vets will get richer, well we already have enough isk to keep us going for at least a couple of years. don't make me bring the picture with my 1000 proto suits. I showed it several times.

lol so its the mm ? not really good ps4 games like bloodborne, dai, tw3 , upcoming e3 games that have folks tradeing in the old ps3 at husslestop?._._.bro you are a good dust 514 player but its time to move on to the new hottnes PS4

I cited forum posts wherein players explained that they think the player count is so low that the match maker can't even fill up the matches to 16 vs 16.

Yet you dismiss that and tell me that their perception of the game dying is due to the Ps4.

Alrighty then...

Thats anecdotal versus facts of 22 million PS4 sold and facts of eve offline statistics showing less dust 514 players._and facts of more PS4 games comeing soon and facts showing ps3 sales dropping and facts showing folks playing other games like destiny reaching twenty million playing ._and another fact is that as more PS4 games come out this leads more folks to buy a PS4 and trade in the old ps3

You forgot to add the fact that humans have the ability to play more than one game in their rotation at a time.

I took nearly a year off and the matchmaking is way better now. Much better to wait a few more minutes for a decent battle than having a proto squad facing a bunch of fresh out of the academy players.

It was the number 1 thing holding the game back
