Lol it's still a faucet. A tiny Corp I played with was making a couple hundred million a week. I can only imagine what a.e. Has accumulated over the years.

I'm adorable.

Maybe you shouldn't be fighting if you keep losing. Ever THINK of trying other strategies?

Ppl complain because they can't go toe to toe against someone with vastly more SP and better gear.

That doesn't mean you can't kill them, it just means you lose toe to toe and get wrecked if you get caught doing stupid ****. Look at your crosshairs report and it will tell you what you are aiming at. Knowing that...you can THINK ABOUT whether or not you can kill that person heads up. If you can't...and you WANT to try to kill people...

- Bait them to you and kill them with REs. (enemy scanning will make this hard to pull off though)
- Heavy suit with primary weapon of choice to make up for HP differences at the cost of mobility.
- Use a free vehicle from Salvage and tank their face or run them down in a LAV.
- Forge Gun
- Use installation turrets.

You can't earn WP other ways? You have to shoot people? Try supporting / farming your team.

- Plant uplinks behind the enemy and around the objective.
- Drop nanohives on other players.
- Hack things away from the main battle.
- Rep tool @ everyone.

You don't get to wreck people right out of the gate here, you first practice avoidance. This is a thinking man's game not ******* Call of Duty. Everyone here managed to figure it out except for the pussies who can't see the beauty of playing in a sandbox filled with monsters. That's part of the appeal of this game...

This is Dark Souls FPS...it needs to stay evil.

It was difficult for everybody at first...and this version of DUST we are playing is much much friendlier than the old days where most of the player base was lost.

Final words of advice:

HTFU and PTFO

Simple.
This happens with every game imbalance. Every time. Without fail.
I wouldn't be surprised if the track the quitting and afking as an indication of OP performance.
What you demand is action.

Ccp has responded with hotfix four.

Then they will check the results of that and respond again.

Back in the day they didnt tweak. They swung the nerfbat. Entire roles were destroyed overnight. Weapons were rendered unusable overnight.

Most of us prefer the 'wait and see' approach when compared to the horrors of the bat.

Its painful, No question, and we all feel it.

Not sure I care.

Squad > Individual Player

Result: I win.

As a solo player most of the time I get where the OP is coming from. I see it all the time, squads of highly organised officer gear wearing scrubs who easily stomp noobs match after match. I guess I can't blame them, although I'm not sure how they call that fun, but the problem is essentially the way ccp has allowed matchmaking to continue. There should be a solo mode for sure, there should also be more time taken to fill proper matches. What do you expect a new player to think in the current state of the game? No game modes work except domination, and once you land one you get stomped to oblivion or wander around and do nothing while vets on your side stomp the enemy. It's stupid.

Very poor matchmaking has made for unfilled, lopsided, painfully boring matches of late. I do disagree with the OP on the hot fix topic. I am excited for FoxFour and overall have faith in rattatis ability to balance the game. However balance is just one facet of dusts problems and overall something that is missed by new players. New players want exciting close matches where they feel they can contribute. If you want to retain these players you need to find a way of achieving that.

The insane and most idiotic part of this is that FOUR people in a match of 32 are able to do so much.

Yet people are still so brain dead that they blame those FOUR for actually playing the game the way it was intended. Don't get mad at all the people not doing anything. Don't get mad at the five tanks on your side that are somehow unable to deal with that single blaster tank that is wrecking shop. Don't get mad at the six snipers on your side that are somehow unable see those eight dudes camping on top of the pipes.

Yes, get mad at the four who were unaware that killing people in a FPS was bad.

So here's the thing about DUST 514.

If you're looking for a fun and fair match, you've come to the wrong game. When an individual says they want a balanced match, their only lying to sound less like total tool bag. No one plays Dust for a fair game, they come here to pad stats that mean nothing so they can wave their E-peens every which way declaring "Hay look at me, my KDr is so good because I got skills!" By skill, I mean skill points, and gear that is much better then yours.

You know how some free games are pay to win? Well this game is wait to win. Once you have the right amount of skill POINTS, you're good to go, no one can stop you, except for maybe the other guys who waited just as long as you. Well, that's what the leave button is for. Besides, this game isn't built for balanced matches, it's been hand crafted just for the vet players to pad their stats all the way to their heart's content. After all, why ells would it stack the proto squads on one team and leave all the low levels on the other? Why ells would this problem persist since the start with no end, because it's not a problem, everything is working as intended.

In this game, you have two choices. You could wait to get proto, and get nothing but victories devoid of all value. Or most likely you will be the cannon fodder, nothing more then sacks of meat to feed the vets as they gorge their DKrs. All you can do is accept that you are only padding for that one stat. Since they take so much pride in their slaughters, take pride in your deaths. Is winning a match any different from losing one? So far I've never seen the difference in either outcome, you define what wining is to you. So just sit down already, and play the game how it was designed to be played; Stomp or be stomped.

The reason why you get stomped all the time is probably because you suck. I have been in quite a few stomped matches where our team was done for but a few random blues and myself were wrecking the reds. This happens quite a lot. So instead of complaining go out there and work on your aim.

I have played in matches where two squads was the opposing team and my team was total random players . Others have brought this up only to get crapped on by the community that doesn't want this system to change .

They asked , how did that happen .?. well if I had a capture card then you would have seen it but the next time this happens , I will take a pic on my phone and link it for all of you to see because it does happen where you get squads , not a squad to que on one team .

I guess if you people could see that then you might change your tune or maybe not .

Most of those stompers have paid their dues. Not time in match but real cash. If youve been here for years like alot of us youve spent some cash. Why would CCP snub already paying customers to net a few potential ones. This game is set up to be a vet. Put your time in and quit crying. Weve all been there.

THANK YOU!

Can everyone get it through their heads that deploying into Pubs with a group of friends isn't somehow evil just because you don't do the same thing?

I virtually NEVER play this game without a full squad. I want people to talk to and coordinate with when I play.

Are you trying to say we're all bad people unless we only queue solo?

I have to agree with you OP. What CCP does to their newest players is needless, senseless, foolish and self-destructive. We can have a hardcore game and a decent NPE, the two are not mutually exclusive. If we could do a word search on these forums i wonder how many hits we'd get for 'NPE'.

This is why the hardware/platform argument is almost pointless - if the developer is unwilling to fix the codebase, gameplay or NPE what's the point? New Platform will change none of that and sadly will not materially alter the gameplay experience of new players.

The problem isn't the FOUR, it's the fact they're in PUBS. Get it?
