SERPENT-Adamapple Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 136	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:15:00 - [1] - Quote 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.
Allah's Snackbar Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 424	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:23:00 - [2] - Quote 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.
Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 1390	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:25:00 - [3] - Quote 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
8213 Shining Flame Amarr Empire 18	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:27:00 - [4] - Quote 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.

So OP "match matching" for Dust really only means - whoever is left. 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.
BARDAS DUST University Ivy League 206	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:34:00 - [6] - Quote 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 .
Cyrius Li-Moody The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 311	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:34:00 - [7] - Quote 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.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 5067	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:44:00 - [9] - Quote Its actually been going well for me, had pretty close battles. I only played like 4 battles though.
SERPENT-Adamapple Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 136	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:50:00 - [10] - Quote 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.

Severance Pay Krullefor Organization Minmatar Republic 794	Posted - 2013.07.21 04:52:00 - [11] - Quote 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.

You might want to read it again, because I don't think it says what you think it does.

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.
Jaqen Morghalis Abandoned Privilege General Tso's Alliance 190	Posted - 2013.07.21 14:40:00 - [18] - Quote 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.
Shouper of BHD Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 235	Posted - 2013.07.21 14:43:00 - [19] - Quote 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.
bonkersfox Foxhound Corporation General Tso's Alliance 115	Posted - 2013.07.21 14:51:00 - [20] - Quote im still spawning with the reds, matchmaking seems to think im one of them, wheres the thread gone, if theres any problems report it in this thread, I did

Kaeralli Sturmovos KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 141	Posted - 2013.07.21 14:53:00 - [22] - Quote matchmaking fix hasnt been initiated i believe nullarbor is still working on it. any matchmaking fixes during the recent DT's have been for stability to my knowledge.
