Aeon Amadi Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 12	Posted - 2015.08.16 11:05:00 - [31] - Quote It is insinuated that this is primarily a team-based game but given the lack of a concise and dedicated effort to get people into squads and allow teams to communicate you'd figure otherwise. We have no way of communicating with our team except through voice chat but that's a punchline by itself. Ever since the UI optimization that killed in-battle comms you can't join a squad once in a battle. The squad finder doesn't really do much to help find -the right squad- as opposed to just any squad. About the only way you can communicate with your team-mates as a solo player is by angry hand gestures and occasionally pressing 'x' to watch the guy with the nanite injector run in the opposite direction as indicated by the growing distance between him and you. But apart from that there isn't much actual reward to being -in a squad- in the first place. Sure, there is theoretically a greater tactical aspect through voice comms but if you don't have that you're almost entirely reliant on inconsistent squad orders. But further more there is no actual gameplay benefit to doing so apart from marginally increased WP gains in completely circumstantial and situational areas. Being a squad leader on the other hand is quite fulfilling with orbitals... So, if we're expected to play Dust 514 as a Team-based Tactical Shooter, we need to emphasize on that, rather than bitching at people about how the game wasn't made to run solo.

If I squad, I get teamed up with 12 window lickers. no way, if i go solo and a squad happened to be Q'ing up as well, i would be put on the opposite team to 'balance' out the match. Just played 2 hours against Radar, Blitz and 2 other 0.H corp hoppers in acquisition. we lost every. single. time. i was solo, they definetaly had some other good guys on their team.

You could always just not voice. Most of the time when I'm squadded, I'm not actually voiced. For number 2 & 3, you should try leading the squad yourself, then YOU could set the orders! It's really not as difficult as it sounds. Just whap the defend order on someone to milk a few extra WP, that's it. yeah but most people don't know how to access squad commands from their clone we need a tutorial for that it's so simple that everyone should know how to do it Duct tape fixes everything from weapons to suits and even tanks.
Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui MeatBag Disposal Service LOGISTICS 2	Posted - 2015.08.16 15:23:00 - [35] - Quote Otrera Goddess wrote: The worst experience ever Just bend over and pick up the soap Why .?. that's what you have a TEAM for . So much emphasis is placed on squads , where the TEAM is the key to any victory ... a loss is from a lack of team cohesion and support , I play solo almost EVERY match and I can deal with the losses when I see my TEAM going hard . I've been on some good squads and lost because of team and I've been solo and won against some good teams with stacked squads and we won by playing as a TEAM . So many make such a fuss about seeing who goes against whom and the problems stem from stacked squads and teams going against random lesser players . Any stacked team and squad can be beat if the opposition is playing like a unit . That's where most of the problems arise , placing a bunch of random players against groups who know each other well . Squads against squads and random players against the like and this game would overcome one of it's greatest problems , the lack of vision that allows something that could be so great to be mediocre or even less then . Teamwork is really important - said the Tyrannosarus Rex from Kung Fury .

Although I wouldn't mind squading with other solo players. Try making sense out of that and I'll buy you a taco at one of VAHZZ's taco stands. I know 'zactly what you mean....i think about it all the time when playing solo. Back when we had icons in team chat i looked forward to occasionally squadding up with other lone wolves, we usually did serious damage as a two-man crew.

The only reason I care about my k/d in a match is so I don't hurt my team when it comes to clone count. Honestly if it's not my game and I feel i'm going to hurt my team with a bad k/d I will leave the match, not ashamed of it either.

Solo capture a point on the map with me vs 6. I'd always win. well not always. tbh my 1st month I sucked. 2 months in I was barely getting a 1/1 kdr. It took me 4 months to become good and 6 to become amazing :p My scores in proto were actually not that much higher than my scores in advanced gear. I never really needed proto. Not unless I was facing ancient exiles and tbh it was only like less than 15 ancient exiles I had to watch out for. They actually recruits A TON of bad people so I never feared them. I already knew who their A-team was. Considering I fought them in pc several times a day for a couple months. The same freaking people.. it sucked and after that I became an activist for helping new players get better on the game because fighting the same exact people was boring.
