Everyone was crying about fixing up a match-making system cuz they were too butt hurt about getting killed by good players. Now we can't even get a full match anymore. About every match is lopsided now - 13 vs 10, or 12 vs 7, etc. Sometimes even 12 vs 4. Also, I know nobody wants to join in the end of a match but when the match is already that lopsided, you just wish a couple people could join in halfway to even it out a bit, cuz once a match has gotten started no more people are pulled in unless it's the first minute or so. It wasn't too long ago we would battle 16 vs 16 people (or maybe down 1 or 2). Now I can't hardly get in a full match no matter what time the day.
Unless there's 100k or more people playing, then please let it go back to how it was. I've had plenty bad matches where I felt I was against people with way more SP than me, but not only could you still find ways to deal with it, it made you a better player. Either way I'd rather get my but kicked a little than to run around a large map trying to hunt down the few enemies looming around.
And to top it all off, it didn't even seem to make a difference on matching people up with others of equal skill because I still run into both hardened killers and complete morons in the same matches.
If we can't fill battles anymore, I probably speak for others as well that the game has finally lost it's playability. |

Please CCP allow people to join a battle up to half way through so if a couple quit then there's a chance someone will replace them while there's still time in the battle for it to be worth it for the people joining. I never minded joining the end of a match cuz, although you had to wait to load, it was still a bit of free ISK and SP. |

well it sounds like some of you are still getting matches ok. But for the most part, I think it sounds like MOST are having some difficulty getting full matches on a regular basis. I like the idea of having an option to turn on or off for whether or not you are willing to join matches in progress. Either way, we all know that there are not a ton of players on Dust so trying to split people up with matchmaking seems like it would make the lopsided (or long wait times) inevitable.
Maybe they could just keep the match making but change back to allowing players to join battles already in progress- just make sure someone joining half way through gets an ISK or WP bonus so it's still worth joining the match. I remember always seeing someone leave a match only to be replaced within a minute or seconds. This no longer happens.
In fact, there are probably no newer players that actually play so there may no longer be a need for matchmaking anyway; that was an old arguement (that I never cared about personally). The diversity of equipment and play styles also helps negate the need for MM.
BTW i don't complain too often on the forums, but this issue has me very concerned. |

I think match making would never have been much of a thought if it weren't for the (early days) broken PC mechanics that allowed these large corps to horde hundreds of millions of FREE ISK from the broken PC mechanics. Those guys were the ones who came in with their full corp squads and free money and proto-stomped the hell out of everyone to the point that people wanted a way to NOT have to match up with people like that; hence the idea of matchmaking. This also deterred new players and even some vets from wanting to play the game at all.
The whole downfall of this game is largely due to the old broken PC mechanic (which of course falls to blaming CCP for allowing that ******** function to be possible in the first place, and then taking too long to fix it).
The PC mechanics are fine now, but the damage had already been done and it's old news. They should have tracked the free ISK when the issue first arose and repo'd it. |

*sigh* First match of the day = domination 12 vs 9 -- 3 of the 9 quit then 2 more. entirety of match was 4 vs 12...fun. I had to just run around with a dampened cloak scout and hack stuff and run, that's it. getting boring real fast... I really don't want to leave Dust right after I got all my skills where I wanted them. I was just getting a good variety of weapons maxed... |

I used to myself. I'm starting to wonder if this has something to do with which server you're running on. |
