CQC I know your are webt to feel suxky when you start

Hi All,

I am playing iron man mode in the main game. So I get level 1 at the current rate once every 2 weeks (last time I actually fell asllep docking

Tonight, one of my friends from teenage years was on - he's 10,000LY from the bibble - and going quile frankly honk crazy.

So I thought we could do some Arena stuff. I invited him to my team so to say. We were level 4 (him) and level 1 (me)Anyway initial mp was good, then 2 10-20ish players got replace with 30-50 players. As the games proceeded (my friends dropped out), whatever I did Icould not shake instance matching with player levels I would consider wrong. The same level 50 player all matches for 2 hours, and I am sure will continue to do so.

Where is the fun in this - level 1-50?

Yes I know the time you have been around affects this - but that instancing match. Wel I should not feel my ED life would be better if the 50 level player did not exist.


Am I being overly harsh?

No, what you are seeing is normal matchmaker behavior and its quite alright to desire to be matched against your friends of a similar level in Arena. It is the chaotic nature of the matchmaker and do not take it personally. I get mismatched all the time.
Coordinate with your friend if you become seperated during the match making, try team deathmatch, search for a match at the same time, if not then restart, and retry.
Don't worry about that level 50 to much, they are there to learn from, your level 1 ship is well equiped to take one down, you may have to work with a another lvl 1 pilot at the same time to beat down those lvl 50s...
And remember Ironman, it doesn't cost anything to lose a ship in Arena/CQC, I regularly lose
Have fun
