I'm pretty pissed off at the moment so excuse this bit of a rant. I've been playing this game for a few days and it's a great game. Been having lots of fun with it. I just finished a match though that has basically wiped any interest I had in this thing.
The opposing team was rolling around the area with like 3 tanks. My team consisted of basically people with just standard beginner equipment. So we couldn't even approach any capture points because a tank would be sitting there and wiping all of us out. I decided I would be the smart one and switched over to the anti-armor starter dropsuit, which I thought was going to help with eliminating those things. The rocket launcher barely scratched them. We ended up losing the match due to our clone reserves running out and they still had like 110 left over. That was complete BS.
Something needs to be done about stuff like that. I'm not sure what, but there needs to be some sort of changes to make sure fights are relatively fair. |

True, if my team had a proper setup then things would of been different. But again that goes back to some sort of balance needed. Instead of the matchmaking system loading up a team of just Enforcers or Scouts, it should be mixing in some heavys and stuff.
And of course I was expecting the usual comment of "Git gud". Thanks for showing your stupidity to the rest of the community =) |

I appreciate the advice and stuff people have given. The situation I had, in my view, wasn't something that could of been changed just because I had some different skills or equipment. Some people have gotten what I was trying to say. It was a case of not only an organized team, possibly more skilled as well, but also a high level team being put against a low level team. I know there's no such thing as "levels" or whatever in this game, so it's a matter of SP's and higher leveled skills allowing better and more powerful stuff. For example, it was a group of level 20's rolling into a noob zone of level 1's and wiping us out with no effort.
I know how the game works and the different skills that are available to a person. Yes, I wasn't prepared to handle different situations, but obviously neither was the other 15 people on my team. I have no problem with losing a match and even getting our butt kicked in the process, but anyone can admit that something was wrong when we lose that badly, with them wiping us out while still having around 110 clone reserve.
Like I said, the tanks always seemed to be sitting where we needed to be. Anytime I tried to engage one of the enemy infantry, I would get off a few shots and then have to run away cause a tank would come rolling over. As I'm trying to find cover from the tank, I get shot by the infantry that chases me down. That was the case every time. I don't have a problem with people using tanks or anything else, but having 3 of them at once seems a bit too much.
I'm sure this type of situation might be a rare thing at the moment and probably doesn't need to be top priority or anything, but as time goes on and more people decide to start playing, I'm sure this type of thing is going to happen more and more. It's not a case of needing to balance overpowered equipment, because I think things are perfectly fine in that department. It's a case of balancing who fights who. I'm not the expert when it comes to making those type of changes so I'm not entirely sure what could be done, but I do think at some point down the road that it's an issue that needs to be looked into. |

I realize this is New Eden and players need to HTFU, but the fact is that we need players. The more game modes we want the more players we need to support those modes. If a noobs first experience with the game is against 3 tanks they're probably gonna leave.
I don't want to dumb this game down, but simple limitations in Pub matches aren't gonna hurt anybody.
This person gets it. I'm not saying the game should be holding a person's hand and everything should be easy, but if matches are going to end up being that unfair, then newer players are going to stop playing the game. This game won't survive if the player base isn't expanding. It's also not a matter of being all hardcore and elite cause this is the Eve universe and that's how we roll type of thing. I might be new to this game but I'm not new to these types of games and also just gaming in general. I can see when things could use a bit of fine tuning. But like I said, it's not necessarily a top priority at the moment. There's more important things to fix first. At some point the matchmaking system will need to be adjusted though, there's no denying that. |
