Problems with matchmaking
HamsterIV:
I tanked for a few "scrubs" last night. The match making system randomly put me in a lobby where the other team's levels were in the 20's and my team's levels were in the single digits. It must have thought my mere presence would even out the odds. I did not enjoy the experience since the captain did not listen to my loadout advice and we ended up in an hour tickle fight where the deciding factor was a side carronade on a goldfish. I would have ditched the game after the first 30 minutes but I did not want to add to my leave count.
There were less shut out wins last night, which I guess is a good thing. However I was forced to go full on training mode when I was in the mood to be a silent cog in a well run machine.
I still haven't seen the captain's loadout request. Either it bugged out or none of the captains I flew under had set the equipment requirements.

i used to join ships with lvl 2s that had no idea how to handle things yet and tanked them a bit to give them time to look at the cool graphics while i rebuilt the hull, i actually liked that.
i also have a teacher mode unlocked which makes me able to join noivce lobbies and sit in spectator slots and answer questions in-between matches. like in lobbies.
it was good that novice lobbies took some time.
it gave them time to ask questions, understand the UI, change the loadout for the 3rd time and this time press CUSTOMISATION COMPLETE.
now i don't even know if novice lobbies exist?! even if i press novice lobby in the matchmaking thing it seems to be an INCLUSIVE not EXCLUSIVE search.
at least give me a "match lobbies" and "novice lobbies" counter in a corner or something.
i'm wasting my time.
I LOVE THE GRAPHICAL UPDATES!!!!!
everything else makes me want to just restart an account because i'll never fucking get out of competitive gameplay with my lvls. and i just want to tank skrubs. i play competitive on the weekends.

Novice still exists. First 40 matches are all Novice.
B'Elanna:
oh i know it exists, but i don't know WHEN and if AT THIS SECOND. and i can't join them anymore as i used to.
shaelyn:
B'Elanna, I actually brought up that concern to Muse yesterday (that was the larger reason I wanted to be a CA as well). if there's not enough novices in the matchmaker to create a novice match, it will loosen the restriction for them to go into a novice match.
they're going to raise the novice cap, and that should mean more novices for MM to create a novice match for.
Wundsalz:
I don't get why there are novice matches to begin with. Matchmaking should take care of matching new players with new players anyway.
