I mean really, really sux.
I am routinely slotted into instants that get slaughtered like by 50 or 60 to nil. I've tried everything. I've fought hundreds of instants. I've worked on my movement, my weapons, my situational awareness and blah blah blah. I may be new at this and I may not have the experience that others do but I'm not that bad. How do you expect newcomers to stick with this game with the crap odds you give them when they get here? I'm telling you. There are other things to do with my Playstation3 and at some point, I will be doing them instead of this. Because, at this point, the way you have this game set up... SUX! |

I wonder about the Mrs. MatchMaker at times....not sure if it's really doing much since this is Beta.
If you feel that your side is going to get stomped then leave match and queue for the next. Some nights I get several matches in my favor....others are like using barbed wire for toilet paper. |

well have you joined a corp yet you will need to play in squads if you want to improve your chances of not being stomped |

You get rewarded for how well you played. Losing or winning doesn't weigh in on that.
There is no PVE or any training scenarios, you just have to keep working on your skills. Eventually you either start getting better teams by chance, or you get better at your role to the point where you can help move a team towards victory. |

Hmmm... Was in an ambush match earlier this evening where the team I played on only had 5 or maybe it was 8 deaths... total. No one in the top 10 was killed. Not once.
Saw the other side of it in a match where our same squad was on the losing team something like 68 to nil.
Was also just reading the Dev Blog from August 31st and it does seem to imply that matchmaking was put into effect some time shortly after the posting.
But I do agree with the OP... "arete" we have not got. Well, maybe every once in a while. But not often enough to where the instant battles feel compelling, hard fought and exciting down to the last clone on both sides. |

Really it doesn't take more than a squad or two of good players on one side to turn a match completely lopsided.
And that's really not something that can be done anything with. |

I think the matchmaker has a tough time handling squads. All I see in local chat is people squading up with anyone that has a mic....and hey i'm all for that. You have learn somehow, but when you get 2 squads on one side that I call leaderboard corps against 2 to 4 sqads on the other that have a few good players then its tough.
Now....I'm not going to beat up on the system too much I have actually been in several matches tonight where we had top corps on each side.....and I will tell you it was fun as hell. It was so intense that I didn't have time to talk trash on the mic, heh.
The 3 matches I was in like this came down to the wire....not a lot of tanks just straight up ground pounding.
Now the Skirmish I was in tonight.......yikes.....is anyone home? etc. |

From your post I take it your playing ambush you have to remember alot of the big name corp's play ambush to pubstomp the newb's as newer players find it easier to play ambush as it is the mode alot of newer players are used to as it is just team deatmatch.
Try playing more skirmish there are many way's to earn WP's there as well as getting kill's you get organizied sqauds there as well but not so much as ambush as I said alot of the top corp's like ambush to pad the KD |

Duh not CCP's fault that 90% of the players are just simply bad at this game. On other games like COD campfare you can still get kills with deathstreaks helping you out. Sorry pal but bad players will get punished on this game, not rewarded. And that should stay how it is. |

I love this sort of elitist ****. 90% of players are bad? I am sure that has nothing to do with the disparity between a new players sp and gear compared to that of an experienced player |

As i said in another topic, i strongly think that matchmaking should be in a KDR comparison system, thats where one discerns a good player from a bad, now its a horrible system because you can have lots and lots of players with a <1 KDR paired with >2 KDR top dog players. |

i will agree the match making system is messed up i think it goes by WP/game earned *KDR or something to that effect and then when there are not enough players to adequately fill a game to a 6vs6 the match maker says to hell with the system lets just get more in here |

I find the problem with assault is that the mode is all around ******. The spawn points are horrible, the maps are predictable and once the other team has a few heavies camping you into your spawn point the only thing you can do is leave because you are not going to spawn alive. And no the answer isn't to get better. CCP need to fix their system to level the playing field. They need to add alternative spawn points, inaccessible areas for each team, team spawns. I can't even count anymore how often at the start of a game I would spawn right in the middle of enemies. What is the point of that? Why do they spawn teams all spread out at the start of a match and mix them in with the enemy team? |

But why? There is no request, only a complaint that 90% of blueberries I come accross are just totally terrible..'
The request should be: please make training missions...or something of that nature.
How do you expect matchmaking to help? IQ / Reflex tests taken to determine your current level of play?!
When a squad of 3 can get 47/80 kills on your team and have 0 deaths, but the game ended with your team only having 30 or so clones, you know there is a problem. |

CCP has to fix nothing. Bad spawn points?
Drop an uplink or flank the spawn campers and KILL THEM, because, you know where they are just AS MUCH as they know where your going to spawn.
Heavies? theyre a joke.
AR eats a heavy
sniper 2-shots a heavy
a good nade kills a heavy
The things you got to worry about are not heavies and tanks, they are EZ to see, slow, and predictable mostly.
You NEED to worry about proto quad dmg mod assaults with Balacs, the occasional good sniper, laser riflers and most of all scouts with shottys, cuz theyre fricken fast and dont show up on minimaps.
Anyone who complains about a non-level playing field is
1) Not using their minimap
2) Doesnt know theyre rock/paper/scissors
3) Too stuborn to change fitting to adapt |

I agree the system is broken. I play to many games with a final score or 70 - 0 with my squad of 4 having 50+ of our teams 8- kills. I want a challenge, its not that my opponents are bad, just unprepared and inexperienced compared to the length of time me and my team has been playing.
Please CCP implement some kind of ladder ranking system, and use it to support the idea Arena game mode for corps that was spoken of earlier :) |

with out a lvling system and the fact that we can change gear on the fly, mixed in with leaderboads being full of **** and the game being new...how do you expect a matchmaking system to work in any judgmental fashion? |

I like the idea of looking at total skill points and average war points gained per match to be used in a matchmaking system. Most matches I get in are either we overkill them or I get stuck on a team with everyone in militia suits and we get totally stomped. Right now it seems that there is zero system to balance teams. |

I think we are getting there. I know this may be insulting to people when I say this, but.... I don't think the game is about Ambush and Skirmish auto battles. When the game is finished I am hoping those basically just go away and we are left with the Faction Warfare and other systems.
At least I hope thats how it goes, if the Ambush and Skirmish are the core and Faction War is just the tack on, then we are in trouble. |
