So... about that matchmaking thing. (concerns and an alternative suggestion)

Yeah they get explanations but you still get some that are pretty confrontational about it. I don't even bother explaining to those ones. They tend to insult the build or use a few colorful terms for it. Which then ends in me telling them to leave. I especially love when they join another vessel and then get their butts handed to them by the build they raged about. Course they usually rage quit halfway, which I sometimes make certain of.

When I get someone confrontational, I start out with explanations and a calm voice, and progress through several stages of aggression approaching the level of confrontation they're using, then turn passive aggressive, let them do what they want, and point out every moment where their build fails us and mine would have done better.

"Oh look, we're at long range. You're going to be missing with 90% of your Hwacha shots, because YOU DIDN'T BRING THE HEAVY CLIP I ASKED FOR. How awkward..."

"You know, all those fires would be WAAAY easier to manage if BOTH our Engineers had listened to me and brought firefighting equipment. At least we have ONE person who can put them out."

"When our ship has 4 Hwachas on board, it's really a shame our Gunner didn't bring Burst Ammo. It would pair REALLY nicely with that quad-Gatling Junker alongside us."

So far, the only crew members I've had who have received this treatment and stuck around have been players who decided to discuss their loadout with me in the lobby before our next match. It seems to me like my approach works.

That said, it has been nice when I've seen a player like that switch crews then get slaughtered when I get a more communicative crew (even if they don't follow my advice and provide a good alternative).

I know this thread has sort of changed course...

but I can't get behind this enough for you and BlackenedSkies, oblivion.  if you have some concerns, test it out, then bring them up to Muse directly if they're still a concern - and bring up any new concerns you guys have.  they need that player perspective from people who have tried it.

I tested this yesterday and my whole opinion of the matchmaking system did a complete 180.  seriously.  they need to know how you feel about it after you test it.
