I agree and support a "lone wolf" battle select option as mentioned in other threads.

Its supported, you just have to pick a lonewolfe "role" (as I did) like sniper, shotgun, remote explosivs, ninja hack... etc.
Edit: sniper hunter ^^

I have really tried the last few days to play solo in ambush, which is what I did a lot of the time in Chromosome and previous builds. I do enjoy playing in squads, but sometimes I just don't feel like talking or being married to a squad of players for the rest of the night. I liked being able to go on my own in ambush and just have a good time on my own terms, then join a squad when I felt like it. As a solo player I could blast my XMB in-game music, join any match, quit any match at will, go out for a quick smoke, or do whatever I wanted without answering to others.

Sadly with Uprising, playing solo (at least for me in ambush) is 100% out of the question. 99% of every match I join my team or the other team (other team is much more common) has 1-3 full squads of organized players running together. And it tips the match in their favor almost 100%. On my side random bluedots are few and far between, only time they are together is when they are mass blob spawning (due to mass blob slaughter), but they split up very quickly. On the other team is one giant blob of players mowing through the map, and seeing this blob (and if they see me) is pretty much a guaranteed death with little rewards.

Then to add insult to injury is the OB's. If it's not bad enough that I am getting slaughtered by the mass blob of organized squads, I get OB'ed as soon as I spawn from a recent 8 vs 1 death. Because players with 6 member squads can easily get an OB at least once a match, whereas solo players never get OB's (extremely rare).

Yes this game is all about teamwork and all that, but playing solo (at least for me) is nothing but extreme frustration, annoyance, and rage. I end my nights on a negative note, which is pretty much the exact opposite a game is supposed to provide for us (arent we supposed to play games to have fun, relieve stress and enjoy ourselves?)

Only time I can manage to have a decent game (stats wise) and have some fun, is while playing in a squad and being active on the mic. But other than that, I can't enjoy myself in the slightest playing solo. We absolutely need squadless options for gamemodes CCP, because this is ridiculous.

Solo play is entirely possible, it's just dependent on how useful you want to make yourself. Skirmish? Stick back and guard the control point no one is paying attention to; Odds are at least one of the enemies is. Ambush? Flank the enemy and lay down a spawn point, or give covering fire while your teammates set up a little HQ from which to throw down more bullets. You don't have to be in a squad to make a difference, but you do have to realize your limitations and your options.

So, let's review OP:

You wrote a QQ dissertation suggesting that tactics should be nerfed. You wrote a sequel suggesting that an important game mechanic to be removed from ambush because you're too lazy to use its effective counter. You made another topic claiming that CCP is catering to M/KB users that got debunked by a dev quote saying the contrary and now you're back to QQing about squads in a game based on teamwork because you refuse to change your tactics accordingly. Keep going, I think you still have a bit more credibility to spare...

The list of things you can't do without a squad is now bigger than the list of things you can. The only way to kill anyone at range anymore, is with several people & focused fire. Up close and you'll be having a dance off sooner than a shootout, ruling out sneak attacks with anything other than a dedicated nova knifer.
The options for solo play shouldn't be limited to rudimentary ancilliary logi work.

I'll grant you that the combat needs work, but I'm trying to show that playing solo is still entirely viable, and that just because you aren't in a squad doesn't mean you can't contribute. Being part of a squad means working with others to help overtake the enemy, but being part of the team means doing whatever you can to help win. If I can badger the enemy team, help provide supplies for mine, and ensure our spawn points are well defended while still barely gaining WP or ISK? Then yeah. You're part of a team, even if it's a temporary one. Don't think about how you can benefit from the match, but what you can do to ensure you're beneficial to the team.

Maby he just loooove likes

Like EVE Online Dust 514 is team based game. HTFU!

anytime someone complains about gameplay people just flood them with a bunch of random scenarios and tactics, 7 out of 10 threads follow this pattern

Hmm, seems like I have a little stalker.

It is a compliment you think I am important enough to waste time putting this together and favoriting all my threads

Keep it up

You get why this is such a common cycle though, right? Every time I get one of those kills where you know the other guy is going to be raging about it (LOL SURPRISE SHOTGUN), I imagine them running to the forums and posting a QQ thread about how, because their personal fit did not effectively counter the fit I used to roll them, the game is broken and must be changed to better suit the way they play, no matter how stupidly they play.

(And then usually I jump on the forums and find the thread because they really did post it.)
