Summa Militum Art.of.Death 963	Posted - 2015.10.01 05:15:00 - [1] - Quote The hell is going on here? The matches I played before I went to work today I was forced up against T.H.I.R.D.R.O.C.K which resulted in me getting sniped repeatedly by Saxonmish using a Thales. Why I am placed in multiple matches against those guys when I am just an average-skilled solo player is beyond me. I now get home from work and the first match I play I am thrown against Dozermouse and his Fatal Absolution buddies; needless to say they ****** me up. Who do you think I am, CCP? You think I am a god at this game or something? What do you want from me...my blood, sweat, and tears? This MU ranking crap needs to be reworked because it clearly screws people over. -or- How about you metalock the matches to help level things out? -or- How about you remove squads from Public Matches?
Victor Moody Stahl Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 266	Posted - 2015.10.01 05:31:00 - [2] - Quote Just throwing out that I had a similar experience today- I pub solo, and am of average skill... and am being repeatedly thrown into matches with multiple squads of high-end corps. It sucks, it isn't fun, and it needs to be fixed. Metalocking matches is something that I think would help a lot, but I also think that the mu ranking needs to be looked at, because today alone I had a string of matches where I was thrown against what seemed to be q-synced squads from one or more PC-level corps, and on my team was mostly randumb blueberries and a few newbs.

Pubs should have never had squads. It's what allowed pub stomping in the first place. Several organized groups vs randomly matched people is a win button for the squads. Personally I think it's why this game never got popular.

BARAGAMOS Kinsho Swords Caldari State 243	Posted - 2015.10.01 05:58:00 - [6] - Quote Well, either you got moved up MU (which is good for you) or they are up to the usual "find a low MU player and squad with them" BS I see them pull every day. THIRD ROCK have become the gold standard for scrubbery of late with that. Followed closely by Groupo, Ecce, AE, and Iberica. Seems to be the only way they can maintain high K/Ds. Having to play in the High MU bracket has a normalizing effect over time. No matter how good you are, most are just as good especially if squaded up in that bracket. Which is why there are 10x more leaves in the high MU than low MU. So they go stomp starter fits to make them feel better about small epeens. Make a friend who just came out of academy and watch his games if you want to watch it happen. I have for the last two weeks, and they are there as 3/4 of a squad every day. Every game I watch him play is frustrating as hell for him, and for me to watch. Him in standard or free fits, them in proto MK0s/AK0s/CK0s.... they go 32/2 etc. He goes 2/11. How long do you think he will want to play at that rate? They are doing more to kill the game than all the lag and imbalance issues combined.

Better question is why you dont just counter snipe him. Dude you do realize that not everyone has SPs in Sniper rifle right.... Try counter sniping without SP in it and tell me how that turns out for you. Even if you hit a proto commando with a head shot he will walk away from your milita fit sniper rifle even with 3 complex mods on it. Love it when Captain Obvious shows up. You think NO ONE tries to counter snipe....... Every thread has the guy that states the obvious counter...forgetting that most players don't have all the option especially the ones in the lower MU bracket.

Got a single counter sniper fit ( with a Thales cause extra sp is not a problem ). Two Corp squads vs randoms so figure I'll spoil there fun... 5-6 kills later I suddenly freeze a few seconds later I get sniped ( told by my wife who was playing with me ) wtf? First time in a long time I felt like a dev was messing with me. Except for when I got a 1v1 round... tho I still won that even if he ran officer/pro gear.

Time after time, I see AK0, MK0, CK0 fits in pubs. I basicly don't care to play pubs anymore. I'm still a noob to my mind, and knowing how CCP works skills (I'm an EvE player), I will fundamentally be a noob for years yet. Years of playing against this crowd in pubs? I think not. Whenever I see them doing that, I switch to FW instead. Believe it or not, much better matches.

This game needs a mode just for solo players to fight each other not these no skill squad scrubs.

Better question is why you dont just counter snipe him. First he had a thale which has the longest range (and knowing Saxon) it was either on a sentinel or a calmando so if he tried to countersipe Saxon would go even further into the RL or just quit sniping all together. You have no point made whatsoever

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui Four Horseman Tactical Agency 2	Posted - 2015.10.01 12:49:00 - [14] - Quote You must not be reading the theme of this thread , why keep placing organized squads against random players .?. and I've said this myself many a times . Where are the CPM's on this ? Where is the push to actually create a matchmaking system or just to balance teams in matches in general ? People have been saying the same thing for sometime now but this get's zero attention and interest . If people are complaining then obviously it has some kind of negative effect so why not fix this ? Common sense , it's not like these people have no footing to stand on and are complaining just to do so , why can't the system set up matches so that if there are squads on a team , that there is another on the other .?. , sometimes I get matches where I'm clearly on the random team and were pitted against two squads that are on the same team . How is this balanced ? Where is the concern from any besides whom this effects ? Why wouldn't the players who are playing in squads , want better unless they just enjoy stomping ? But most of these same claim to be so good . This is a joke that's not even funny and this broken system needs attention . Teamwork is really important - said the Tyrannosarus Rex from Kung Fury .

CCP is highly susceptible to pressure from special interest groups of players. If they aren't fixing something, it's because it suits someone who has influence with CCP. Same thing happens in EvE. The only way to build a game is to build it completely without the influence of the player base, make it as good a game as you can without nerffing, buffing or otherwise sullying it to benefit whoever has the greatest influence with the developers, ignoring the complaints on the basis that it's already a good game, and any changes that come from those complaints are not likely to improve it.

I'm absolutely terribad at this game, and even I wouldn't descend to that level of desperation...Someone drop an orbital on his stupid head...

You have no point made whatsoever Use a forge gun, or a militia rail tank, or dropship a heavy or shotgun fit onto his head? Even if you snipe at him with a militia rifle and he moves back into the RL farther or quits sniping, mission accomplished. He's now farther back in the redline, so your team is in less danger, or hes stopped completely, and so is no longer sniping. The point is nobody should ever be complaining about snipers. They are straight up the easiest thing in this game to counter.

Alcina Nektaria KILL-EM-QUICK Rise Of Legion. 363	Posted - 2015.10.01 16:00:00 - [23] - Quote Is anyone else tickled on the inside when you are on a team of blueberries who are sniping from the redline (kind of crouched in a horizontal line) and some redberry on the opposing team picks them all off one by one down the line? I know it was kind of off topic, but dislike snipers that much (especially useless ones) that I am touched when I see it happen. And back on topic: I think a useful solution to pubs would be for CCP to add a new contract for solo players. SOLO CONTRACTS Solo players randomly get placed in teams of 16 The game mode is random and cannot be selected (so that it doesn't take forever to matchmake and also doesn't lag the community out more with overload of content) This mode is the only mode where people have a chance of getting put in Ambush Add in the actual Orbital Strike component in our Warbarge that allowed us to purchase them since not many people running solo will be able to get 3.2/4k wp to drop an orbital. OR.....Give us single precision orbital strikes for 400wp a piece (precision strike amount negotiable) Also turn Friendly Fire on in this contract. PUBLIC CONTRACTS Get rid of Domination (yes I said it) and just increase the amount of points needed to win Acquisition but make the objective move around more (to fully utilize all the panels on the map) DO NOT allow solo players into matches (it will get rid of any complaining AND utilize the whole reason for reducing squad sizes to 4 players) Remove Ambush from Public Contracts FW and PC stay as they are. Just a helpful thought for CPM/CCP KEQ and ROFL. Diplomat. D4GG3R is my mom. Only REAL pancakes wear dresses.GÖÑ

SOLO CONTRACTS Solo players randomly get placed in teams of 16 The game mode is random and cannot be selected (so that it doesn't take forever to matchmake and also doesn't lag the community out more with overload of content) This mode is the only mode where people have a chance of getting put in Ambush Add in the actual Orbital Strike component in our Warbarge that allowed us to purchase them since not many people running solo will be able to get 3.2/4k wp to drop an orbital. OR.....Give us single precision orbital strikes for 400wp a piece (precision strike amount negotiable) Also turn Friendly Fire on in this contract. PUBLIC CONTRACTS Get rid of Domination (yes I said it) and just increase the amount of points needed to win Acquisition but make the objective move around more (to fully utilize all the panels on the map) DO NOT allow solo players into matches (it will get rid of any complaining AND utilize the whole reason for reducing squad sizes to 4 players) Remove Ambush from Public Contracts FW and PC stay as they are. Just a helpful thought for CPM/CCP Domination stays. You silly acquisition people.

Both teams load in looking to fortress up and kill, as soon as they see they will have to risk suits to win, they quit. Save the rest of us from these scrubs, remove the mode. Bad map design in Dom created this, and the only way to change that is to remove the mode. Forum representative for Mr. Hybrid Vayu: The Attorney General.

I am by no means a silly Acquisition person, in fact I love Domination. However, the game modes are too similar to keep both and having both PLUS a solo game mode will only make matchmaking that more frustrating. The SAME thing can be accomplished in Acquisition as Domination because I will reiterate; They are too SIMILAR. KEQ and ROFL. Diplomat. D4GG3R is my mom. Only REAL pancakes wear dresses.GÖÑ
Echo 1991 Titans of Phoenix Damage LLC 956	Posted - 2015.10.01 17:18:00 - [28] - Quote The simple solution to this is to run in an organised squad as well. It's not exactly hard to find people you like playing with. You can't complain people who squad up always smack you if you don't want to squad up. As I have have said for a while now, it's not the squad thats the problem, the fact that they can just use seemingly unlimited amounts of proto gear against guys in standard and advanced is. Meta level lockouts need to be implemented for it to be more balanced cos proto gear can give a significant advantage. Wanna play eve?

There's no use for us or CCP to continue to ignore the needs of solo players any longer though. Some people just plain ol' don't like to squad up and they shouldn't be forced to just to run some matches that aren't one sided. There's a super easy solution to the problem that can keep things separate but also cater to the needs of both solo players and team players. Imagine how much easier it will be to get into matches if you have full squads of 4 queuing into matches as opposed to Scotty trying to fit people in because he **** up by putting a couple solo players into a queue with a bunch of squads. PLUS we get to stop hearing the solo players (no offense guys your grievances are rightly expressed) complaining on the forums about uneven matches or even about squads of people complaining that they couldn't win because their blues sucked. Aside from catering to squadders and soloers, it also gives a feasible mode for new players who got bumped up. It solves far too many problems to even pass it over. KEQ and ROFL.

There are only two MU brackets in the game so there is really no "your" level. Second this is not real life and there is no skill set to develop by playing against "better" players as you say. There are only a few variables to manipulate in the game and you can learn them in about a week. The biggest difference is SP, gear, and solo v not solo. You can't learn those as a skill set. So, there is no getting better by playing specific opponents. Its a game with really simple mechanics, but major effects placed on it by outside factors like those mentioned above. So, if you want that experience of being sniped from the redline or squad stomped while solo by all means enjoy. All you learn is that a certain number of players in this game will go to no end to ensure that you don't have any fun while promoting their own fun exclusively. Its a game and if everyone is not having fun then people leave, like they have over the past year. Don't think of this as real life. There is nothing useful to real life to be learned here. If you have a desire to "get better" focus it on something that matters not a video game gasping for its last breath.
