Matchmaker and Level Adjustment
Indreams:
Match Maker was an overhaul. So was the new leveling system. We had a grand discussion when they were first introduced.
Now that we've settled into it, let's see what we think about it now. What was your opinion and has it changed?
GeoRmr:
"Matchmaker will reduce lobby time"
>now we just sit in the matchmaking queue
"No more double pilots or gunners"
>still puts second pilots and gunners on ships
"3 rematches only"
>finally sorted into balanced lobby
>epic game
>lobby was already 2 games old
>back to the cesspit
"no levels on enemy team"
>clicks on everyone name individually before manually balancing lobby
"No more captains delaying lobby start time by jumping out"
>pilot dc's seconds before game starts
>noob gets sorted into the captain spot
>game instantly starts with the noob gunner as pilot and you're now on their flak fish
>none of the captains in the lobby had clicked ready

Is what I think...
MM is okay, a few tweaks may be needed, but once you start custom lobbies rather than queuing I am starting to find less wait times in opening to the queue over joining the queue. :)
I think match maker is being blamed for some player faults in places though, for example newbie gunners winding up in pilot slots is less often match maker and more often a new player trying to join a friend or someone they played with before.. Often the same for pilots in crew slots.

I've settled into things.
I don't mind Matchmaker. I almost like it now. I like how we don't see the pitifully few lobbies we have sometimes. And I can play when I want. Before the match maker, that depended on the lobbies.
Leveling? I liked achievement leveling better. Novices are graduating without having played on a Pyramidion or rebuilding the engines. Level 8 engis coming aboard my Squid with 7-10 matches is kinda ridiculous.

Novice and level up speed is definitely something that needs addressing.
New player spends 5 matches with new team that faces guns at the enemy.. Reaches level 5/almost 6.
Two rounds with different crew but manages achievements by chance, levels upto 8 on 2 ships in 8 matches...
Gets taken out of novice only knowing how to run around a goldfish and repair what they notice is broken..
