I really like this game and would love to keep playing it, but I feel I have to express myself being an average joe with a job, responsabilities therefore a limited amount of time to spend on video games in general. I am not in a corp and I don't plan on getting into one as I don't have the time or interest to get into the drama that surounds guilds, clans whatever you might call it. I just want to open my playstation, start up my game and start fighting people that have more or less an even chance of winning. What I am seeing however on this game, is squads of guys with mics and top gear farming maps after maps with 24-1 ratios. The point I am getting at is that I am sure it is working wonders to fill up their egos and they are very proud of themselves, but for those of us who just want to play solo (and there are a lot of us) I think it is very boring, no matter if you are on the receiving end or the giving one. To sum it up:
GIVE SOLO PLAYERS THE CHANCE TO PLAY AGAINST OTHER SOLO PLAYERS!!!
Why so few games incorporate this feature is beyond my comprehension... |

I will actually take that into consideration. Quite refreshing to see someone respond with respect and maturity.
Cheers! |

Before saying, "This is just a video game. I want to do it alone," or some variation, remember that EVE is one of the few games where players hold almost all the power. Player run economy, history, militaries, etc. That's just the type of universe that you're getting into.
While I agree with you about EVE online, I really don't see it in this game. To me this is a shooter and while I play to help my team, I don't necessarily want to hear a kid screaming my ears off on a mic because I didn't turn left. I just think that what I am asking would help maintain a player base of casual players. I have brought 3 friends to play this game so far and they all stopped because a) there is too much randomness b) they are fed up of squads rolling pugs. I am not suggesting to change the direction that the game is taking, simply to take into account the average joe. |

Squads in public games isn't the problem. It is squads of proto suit wearing, Complex Damage mod stacking, 6 million+ SP supermen in public games with completely new players that is the problem. You get hit with 7 AR bullets and you're dead. I don't precisely know what your friends mean by "too much randomness" but I assume they mean...spawns maybe? Or the action seems too chaotic (probably because they are constantly getting pubstomped)? If they were fighting players roughly around their skill level then they probably wouldn't be seeing the same kind of randomness. Fix the matchmaking and you fix this entire complaint, in my opinion. Based off of, say, total WPs or some super CCP style complex algorithm of Total WPs, WPs average per game and value of purchased items, maybe? That makes it very unlikely that a Proto guy (even if he's using Militia gear) who kicks balls would end up in matches with absolute newbies. Squads are the tricky part. I don't know. Average doesn't work so well but basically ANYTHING would be better than what is going on now. Average Joe would be able to play against some other average Joe.
Very true. By randomness I mean the spawns, which have greatly improved however, but you still sometimes get a series of spawns that get you right in the middle of the enemies and you don't even have time to move and you are dead. There is another bug as well where when you are in the loading screen with the timer, that if you cancel to take another suit, it puts you far away into the red zone and you have no time to get to the field and you just die. Getting stuck in the world and having no choice but to be an easy kill for someone or you commit suicide and lose your stuff. The high cost of the gear mixed with elements on which you have no control and cannot improve your gameplay to avoid them is very frustrating. I don't get mad when I get killed because I played bad, but if I get killed because of bugs or elements of randomness...oh boy. |

Just because I am a solo player does not make me antisocial |
