If you play pubs, just ignore the objectives and focus on getting enough WP to get a payout. The "sandbox" play has drowned out any tactical play around the objectives.
What? It's less stressful in FW? Where the most common thing to see is the exact same team on the opposing side every single time? And if you got stomped last match, you'll get stomped every match afterward until the opposing team calls it quits? Last night or two nights ago, can't remember which, I couldn't get a single Gallente victory in, even though I'd played over ten Gal matches, because I was up against the same people every single time. My side certainly got some variety, though, since the losers kept getting frustrated and dropping out, only to be replaced by fresh faces who didn't know who they were up against. However, when I got into Minmatar matches, Minmatar was absolutely whooping the Amarr. Every single time. Which is great for me, because Minmatar gives me most of the gear I use.
Now don't get me wrong, I love FW no matter how much I hate it. I like that it's a competitive mode and I like that, despite the fact that it's competitive, you don't see as many absolute stompers. Apparently the full proto all day every day guys prefer going to pubs to get their easy kill fix. But there is no way going into FW is less stressful than pubstomps. In pubs at least you get variety in players every match. You've got better chances to win because there are enough people playing in pubs that you don't consistently run into the exact same people. In FW it's the same faces every day.
If we could get more people into FW it would become a much better arena, but the problem is that the people who keep FW alive are some of the roughest competition you can find outside of PC. And some of said FW brawlers take part in PC frequently, too. So it's not that it's a competitive place and it's hard that keeps people away. It's that you always see the same people and you know if you recognize a bunch of names you're going to lose. It keeps new faces very far away. My first couple of times in FW matches, I got wrecked so bad by the same group of people I didn't even consider FW again until four months later. At which point I got stomped again, but not as bad, and just stayed out until about a month or two ago. Thankfully I'm finally good enough to hold my own some of the time, but it took me nearly seven months to actually get to enjoy FW. Squadding up didn't help, either, it just got me into the matches and my face shoved into the dirt faster.
But no. FW is not less stressful unless you're on the side that's consistently winning. |

Thinking that 4 man squads were going to someone be the cure all to droves of pub players putting up little to no effort was pretty stupid. We'll continue to see the same forum people with their violins out for all the poor players who are just getting picked on, but hopefully some day there will be consensus that this is an FPS and requires all parties to shoot guns at each other for fun to happen. thats not the problem the problem is a LACK OF NEW CONTENT you had anticipation of a new build with a few stat changes and an event and yet still player counts are BELOW 3000 folks want new content been saying this for the past year and now its beginning to be noticeable that last gen is starting to die a laaagy game with no destructability no new content no new missions no new weapons no new vehicles no new map packs of five to ten new maps and bugs, bugs!, BUGS!, BUUUUGS!!!! sarcasm.....gee wonder why player counts are dropping...... Get rid of bugs, or get new ****, you can't have both. Stop bitching, go back to sucking on the PS4 and leave your salty ass there. b i t c h..................please. Digital Extremes does new content and bug fixes Ubisoft new content and bug fixes EA bug fixes and new content Bungie bug fixes and new content Zenimax bug fixes and new content CD Project Red bug fixes and new content but ccp?......lol!
To be fair, those are all, or maybe mostly as I don't recognize CD Project Red or Digital Extremes (Unless CD Project Red is the one with the red dragon logo that says 'Red Company'), large, well established companies that have a larger workforce for their games than CCP probably has working on Dust. With how often their code breaks and bugs are introduced, not to mention how long some things take to get addressed, it seems like Dust 514 has a pretty small team working on it. And things seem to be going at a pretty decent pace, all things considered. Though, honestly, the game feels like it should still be in beta. |
