Out of the 6 matches I played today, every single match was play to get stomped.
So is this how you fix "tweak" matchmaking? By punishing players that are not in uber corps? One side has randoms and noobs while the other side had nothing but corps. I had not 1 good match which consisted of my team camping out in the mountains or using stupid tactics, while the other team just rolled right over us.
Has anyone else (that was playing solo today) get this experience? I don't mean Rambo'ing your way to the objective. I did join squads but it just seemed like my entire team just started playing yesterday. |

The Dust player pool is like a eighteenth century life boat full of castaways.
As days turn to weeks and supplies run low they will eventually consume their own to survive.
As there are no new players in the boat those who wish to survive will form tight groups to ensure they are carried the longest.
Anyone weaker will be consumed or stomped if you like.
So OP "match matching" for Dust really only means - whoever is left. |

Been on both sides of that all day today but Ive also noticed that pretty much everyone, randoms and corps, has been zerging a lot more lately and it usually ends up with whoever has better gear winning the fight |

I can't say that I ran into that today. I was against corps all day, while playing solo, and my team rolled right over them. Maybe it had something to do with everyone and their mother running as a heavy today. Heavies are free kills in DUST these days. |

Yeah, but do I have to be put on the side all the time of red line snipers, mcc AFK'ers, and players that don't understand what flanking means, and decide to charge head first into a hail of gunfire? Yesterday was fine. I won some and I loss some, but 6 games in a row of getting utterly stomped. My KDR took a hit because of trying to PTFO. CCP did something to matchmaking and it wasn't positive whatsoever. |

It seems a bit random to me. Though I did notice less teams overall, though there WAS some pretty bad stomping involved on a couple of the matches I played. The ones without anyone in a team were probably the most fun but also the most chaotic. Everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off to random parts of the map. I ended up taking advantage of this and snuffing out all the redline snipers... seriously there were 4 of these guys just sitting right next to each other and none of them turned around as I knifed them one by one. Then they went back to THE SAME SPOT and I did it again  . |

I had the same back and forth stuff all day as I usually do. I ran into a lot of people I've never played before though. |

So then basically because of my skill lvl. I have to carry my entire $#!++y team to victory. Sounds like I got the $#!+ end of the stick with these tweaks. |

The tweak wasn't suppose to fix anything. They are gathering data. It is a test. |

With all the ninja nerfs that go on in this game , I'm not sure if I can believe that gathering of data test.

Yeah, I read that. Are you sure you did?
You might want to read it again, because I don't think it says what you think it does. |

And I'm not sure you understand what a ninja nerf means. I'm not the only one that's seeing a difference in MM.
Maybe if you read between the lines and not imply that I'm illiterate you would know what I'm talking about.

I read that entire thread, and all I see is this
CCP Nullarbor wrote:Just a quick note, we are tweaking some instant battle settings today in order to gather new data for our prototyping work. You may notice slightly longer delays in getting a battle, although it should still be pretty quick.
If you notice any issues please reply to this thread and I'll be monitoring it all day today.
Cheers-
and a bunch of panicky idiots jumping to conclusions and making baseless assumptions by "reading between the lines". 
Sorry, but I only deal with facts and reality, not in speculation or putting words in people's mouths. I see nothing to indicate that this "tweaking" is anything more than was stated, or that it has any effect on matchmaking whatsoever.
Are people on this forum actually going so far as to INVENT reasons to be pissed off?! Smh. |

I think it was the day and mode that meant who I matched up with since it was something new, but it seemed everyone had CBR7 swarms, my issue though was the connection, when ever it lags swarms aren't effected so as I`m barely moving they are catching up faster and its harder to get out of these moments. |
