Can someone explain to me why ...

If my understanding's correct, there's now a High Mu queue and a Low Mu queue. Mu takes into account your performance metrics, which include your Win:Loss ratio. Supposedly, if you're a good player in the High Mu queue but you're consistently losing battles, you'll eventually be put into the Low Mu queue. Conversely, strong performance in the Low Mu queue will graduate you to the High Mu queue.

From what I've heard, the relative quality of fights in the Low Mu queue is pretty good. Which is awesome. From what I've seen firsthand, the quality of fights in the High Mu queue is in decline. "Stomp or be stomped" is the lay of the land, and non-stompers are faced with three bad options: (1) take a big financial loss and give the stompers hell, (2) run low-end gear and get your teeth kicked in, or (3) leave the battle, AFK or tool around in the redline.

The good news is that they're aware of the problem. Rattati has previously expressed interest in reducing squad sizes, changing payouts and pay structure, incentivizing "sticking out" the tough fights, etc. They're also tuning the matchmaking engine itself, which seems to be a work-in-progress: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=198028&find=unread

TL;DR: Hang in there! The Devs are working on it.

Acquisition is terrible, matchmaking is terrible, your game is still riddled with bugs, you should feel bad.

Everyone complains that there are not enough players... DUST Logic Sorry buddy, way too many players are more concerned with their KDR/ISK/Epeen to give a damn If I had 1 ISK for each newbro rage thread that gets buried here..

This, but ever since either 1.1 or the hotfix, it feels like it's a little off. For example, I faced off against a bunch of dudes in starter gear the other day with eHP values of those without maxed cores (actually checked two guys before confronting). I dunno. Just a personal observation. Most matches I have are either late stomps, or balanced matches.

golem heartwindow Fodder Alternative 3	Posted - 2015.05.18 07:28:00 - [16] - Quote The figures above are not that different but it translates out as a massive disparity in game, with un-killable guys bum rushing the defence and killing two or three each, it means in a shoot out they can fire from an exposed position, taking hits from us, whilst if we remain exposed for more than 2 seconds we are dead. This kind of disparity means that even in an even fire fight where both teams can fire from cover, you lose, you die, you get bored. I am now thinking that the only tactic for games like this is what people do when faced with insurmountable tech and skill, they go for self destruction. Set up a cheap suit with speed and remote explosives and simply blow yourself up in their midst. Or?
