Does the daily bonus log in bonus reset if you’re logged in for more than 24 hours?
So there is a cooldown to the Emergency Barrier, too when you respawn?
How xxxx is that. You really want to make this game as skill-less as possible so that random lowbie can kill everyone and doesnt need to put one bit of thought into the things hes doing.
What a letdown. :sad:
Now im starting to wonder WHY was the asian server even introduced… at least if people didn’t get placed on it randomly. Had a SQ match with NO ASIANS and we were put on that server…

Well, you know how the server selection works. It mostly doesn’t even work. Everytime I try PvE with 3 friends from my same city, we end up in the RU server instead the US server, being the last one the one that give us the lowest ping due to proximity. We even ended up a couple of times in the South Asia server, really weird, and really funny to see every ship wobbling with over 500 ping.
So I must always make sure to check the server region. Same happens when I squad up with the other members of the Corp to do whatever (be it SQ, PvP or PvE): everyone’s from EU, I’m from South America, we end up in RU server. Even if we fight in SQ and face european/american players/corps in a 4v4, 6v6 or 8v8, we always end up in the same server.

Spawn camping received a whole new meaning.
And about the SA server, i got nothing against it (was just in a little fit of rage, sorry), but the server selection system is completely borked…
And 1 more question: how comes some players (good rated ones at that) form a 4-man squad of T3 ships and stay in T3 after the latest MM changes while others are denied this ability and sent to T4-5 (even with only 2 or 3 members)? >.>

Official response will be: It’s a casuality, not common, only happens due low population.
True reason: You know why.
The extra synergy bonus depletes if the first win of the day is Sector Conquest, where you actually gain no synergy… Come on…
This is a bug, should be fixed soon.

Were you queing with Any setting?
If yes, then it is simple - Any puts you where you’re needed the most - should there be battle on… Asian server, that needs players, it would first of all try to find players of the same region, but after a while switches to Any.

Ranks of their ships.
Ranks of their ships.
Both cases premium T3 or R8 max. Every time we try a 4 man squad we get put in T4 without hesitation compared to other squads.

elo, basic equipment, very long losing streak. There may be quite a lot of reasons, playing into this.
Ok, gonna name them: it was an ESB squad. We faced them 3-4 times almost in a row, same people, they won every match. With 3 people on rank 8s we were put in Q36 (T3-T4 mix). If we add another guy we usually go to 38-41. And i really don’t believe 1 of them was queuing solo or they were 2 squads of 2 as every time it happened to us we were and still are put in opposite teams every time.
I don’t have anything against 4 man squads like that, i just wish i could actually do that in my own tier as well like back in 0.8 and not be borked 1-2 tiers up just because some other players didn’t learn to do something else instead of flying in a straight line.
You mentioned basic equipment. Anything more you could share on that please? I think most of us would like to know how to get their 4 man squads back as they should be.
EDIT: just remembered i screenshotted one match
Are you sure they were in a squad? They may have qued solo, that simple.
And there is a [matchmaker entry](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/21604-matchmaking/) in our blog, describing the system.
Okay, this begs a question - if ESB can have four pilots queuing solo and get put into a match as a squad (ie: players who work together and may have Teamspeak) without penalty, WHY are you penalising squads at all? Clearly, either this is an example of ESB abusing the system, which given that they are one of the main Corps that made people complain about the power of squads should be punished, or it is proof that your matchmaking mechanics are not remotely fair.

We have explained numerous times that this is not a penalty at all. Stronger squads need stronger opponents. And current settings provide them all right.
Don’t forget about new setting, too - whenever there is a squad in a 3+ team, it is provided with another squad of same strength.
It certainly feels like a penalty.
From a Corp point of view squads are meaningless. If I queue solo and get put in a match with a 4-man WPK squad, then we now have a 5-man squad - all I need do is hop on TS.
As such, for many Corps there is no difference between compositions; we are just as co-ordinated in a 4-man squad as we are if four of us queue solo. The difference being that if we queue solo we are not punished by the matchmaking system.
Ho you want to squad with 4 men in T3 and have no penalty?
Use Premium ships !

Yeah, I’ve noticed that the game seems to think Desert Eagles and Dragonflies are Rank 7 / 8 ships.

Yesterday I was in a match with them on my side, without Parallax in the group. There was no other visible three man squad on the same side. Parallax could have been placed on their side since one of the patch changes prevented corp members from fighting each other. Synchronized queuing could provide a decent chance of creating four or five man squads. Also, they only flew premium ships. I didn’t look at their lineup until after the match. Odds are it was a there man squad with an ESB pug.
So, let’s recap: There’s a way to fool the MM and be able to be matched against lower tiers ship while being a “pro” player (really high stats) but you need Premium ships for it. There’s something else to add to the mix?
Anyway, I guess I know why most of us never fought worst ships than ours, we’re all so innocent xD
