DUST Fiend 16945	Posted - 2015.05.09 04:09:00 - [1] - Quote Once a player has attained 2 million SP, they will be prompted with the following upon joining a public contract queue "For your outstanding performance in combat, you are now qualified to enter the Dedicated Mercenary Queue. If you leave a contract before it has been completed, for any reason, you will be removed from the DMQ for the next 20 hours. Inactivity will be judged more harshly, and will result in removal from the queue for the same length of time. For your dedication, the winning team will receive 50% additional ISK, and the losing team will receive an additional 25% ISK. If you agree to these terms, please click X" A second window pops up that says "From now on, to join or leave the DMQ, press Square to enter options and toggle DMQ on or off." There is an X button to confirm, and that's it. If you try to join a DMQ match after having been removed, you will be prompted with a message stating "You will be eligable for DMQ matches in XX:XX hours" Clicking X changes the wording from "Public Contracts" to "Dedicated Mercenary Queue" (or whatever, you get the idea) and any matches started will be placed into that pool. In order for a squad to enter, everyone must be qualified for DMQ matches, otherwise the squad leader will be prompted with a message telling them that their squad is ineligible for DMQ at this time. The AFK punishing systemizationator should be ratcheted up even more, and possibly even threaten to kick you for spending too much time in your redline. If you're not killing and / or dying in the combat zone, you're not staying in a DMQ match. This isn't for the faint of heart, and those who have unreliable connection may want to reconsider before joining the queue. Matches should only be started with full teams, but it will also draw players in who are waiting for a match if slots become available. TL:DR: Carrot on a stick and whipping cane make sweet sweet love "When in doubt, dropship out" If you see me, bring AV to collect ISK DUST STUFF

It allows them to mess with ONE match, and also doesn't overly penalize those who drop out because of poor connection. Times could potentially be looked at, but feel free to offer up alternative / additional infractions. "When in doubt, dropship out" If you see me, bring AV to collect ISK DUST STUFF

Good luck getting any sort of match when half the player base can't play for 20 hrs. Maybe just firebomb the server if you want to kill the game some more.

Except if you drop out of a DMQ match, you can still play regular matches? If you quit match, who cares? Now your lame ass isn't in the pool, and the people who actually want to fight can continue to fight and earn more ISK This thread is now a dance party ~ Dances Boldly ~ DUST STUFF

Well obviously scotty needs a budget buff, but thats a separate issue. By all means please offer up your ideas, thats what forums are for: brainstorming The real issue is not ending up with 12 vs 10 it is that either 8 out of those 10 people either leave or go AFK. That is the point where the battle actually becomes broken. As long as those people that are there have the desire to win and the means to be able to fight they are usually very good battles. I believe that the real fix is very close in this thread. I would argue that the system should be applied to both sides with a flat bonus and a per WP bonus for the winning side. Obviously this would go along with the removal of passive ISK. Basically we need to make it extremely rewarding to win and to participate as much as possible while making it absolutely useless to AFK. Would having balanced matches skill wise of 10 or 12 players per side really be all that bad? Those matches turn into the best ones when they do not get ruined by people quitting because it is not "even" or those same people going AFK.

Honestly rattati adding ISK to FW could very well accomplish a lot of what we want. Add to that the increased payouts he's discussing and FW might be wwhere vets graduate to. I know I'd never waste time in a pub again if I have the choice. And add to that whenever I catch some turd AFKing in the MCC/redline I put a bolt pistol round through the back of their head. Teamkilling doesn't even make me blink, which is something AFKers count on to do what they do. They want you to feel like you cannot do anything about them. This is pretty much why I love friendly fire active game modes. I get to murder risk-averse candyasses who don't contribute. Like redline snipers.

Thank you, Breakin.

And your bias against allowing squads is also well-documented. I think your position on squads is idiotic. Because people who squad statistically do better, succeed more and tend to stick with the game longer, wheras solo players have an average life expectancy of hours. Habitual solo play adds no long term benefit to the game and limiting players' social options does more harm to the game than anything else.

Habitual solo play adds no long term benefit to the game and limiting players' social options does more harm to the game than anything else. I don't claim to know the ins and outs of matchmaking, but some aspects are clear-cut enough to opine upon. As for "proving" an opinion, that isn't our job, it isn't necessary and in most cases, it isn't possible. Every observation we make is anecdotal. Every opinion we offer is limited by perspective. Very few things in a video game can be "physically verified". In any event, I'm not pulling these opinions from arse ... Rattati himself has stated that reducing squad size would alleviate stomping. And for the record, I'm not opposed to squads. I have alot of fun running with squads (squadded with you and Cross Atu just last week in fact). But I find zero satisfaction in stomping/redlining, and I believe that stomping/redlining does more to harm Dust than anything I could ever do solo. If squad size were 4, I'd run in a full squad regularly. The same goes for dozens of other good players who enjoy a challenge and detest the boredom and monotony of stomping. In these cases, reducing squad size from 6 to 4 would improve upon social aspects of Dust. Shoot scout with yes. - Ripley Riley

The idea is just a way to encourage people to stay, and builds a queue around players who actually stay and fight. Scotty would need a buff though to keep people from being dropped right as the game starts. I have no sympathy for those leaving for responsibilities, if thy cant manage their time thy shouldnt queue for matches that require you to stay. They can join and leave the DMQ any time before or after a match. If youre too afraid to fight, the DMQ is not for you This thread is now a dance party ~ Dances Boldly ~ DUST STUFF

The idea is just a way to encourage people to stay, and builds a queue around players who actually stay and fight. Scotty would need a buff though to keep people from being dropped right as the game starts. I have no sympathy for those leaving for responsibilities, if thy cant manage their time thy shouldnt queue for matches that require you to stay. They can join and leave the DMQ any time before or after a match. If youre too afraid to fight, the DMQ is not for you I respect the no sympathy part,but as far as the isk fees and 20+ hour limit,I see this as a bullet to the head for the game,and as far as I can tell their is no practical solution that won't destroy the game,but on a positive note I think I finally found a solution to redlining,thou you might not like it. Here it is: If a player on the opposing team (and vice-Versa)kills someone outside the redline(not inside the redline,as their is already a timer)he/she will receive a warning for the first offense with 25% reduction to isk/LP/SP Payouts,and for the second offense, get kicked from battle,with no rewards,but opposing team gets the 25% that player lost when they got kicked and goes to the players they killed,to prevent an exploit for this both teams are invincible for 25s when the match first starts ( to prevent people that use labs/dropships to get into position quickly to your spawn point to start redlining you at beginning of game),and to counter spawn sniping/camping behind your redline all long range weapons are ineffective while behind their own redline for the first 5min of game and after this time is up,long range weapons receive a 50% decrease to damage while behind redline(only applies to long range weapons),Proto or not,and if no team members are left in the opposing team if they all participated in redlining an got kicked,the battle ends automatically if no one joins the match after 2-4 minutes and the team that was redlined gets the sp/lp/isk for however many kills they made against the redlining team(to prevent cheating) fight for freedom and what's right,only you have the power to stop the madness. >Rush at me trolls,I dare you!
