Why put time into a game I can spend what? 5-7 pounds and be as good as people who have put time into the game? better yet why do that, militia gear is incredibly cheap or even free and is as good as AUR items.

This maybe me ranting but I'm not the only one who see's something wrong with that? why should I bother spending so much isk on a good loadout when I can pick any of the starter kits and kill people as if I'm using a prototype weapon

*sniff sniff* I smell a newberry

You're assuming that money buys your ability to play the game itself.

Good, go ahead and spend that much on this game to get top tier stuff and then watch as I still steamroll you because you DIDN'T PUT ANY TIME INTO ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME.

Quite a few people still use militia gear because they don't want to spend good suits on pub matches or matches that they aren't winning. That doesn't take away from the player's given skills at playing the game though. They may be more prone to dying because instead of say 350 shields they have 200 shields, but if they're any good, there's really no changing that.

I don't really see the point in playing in militia only stuff unless you're fighting a losing battle, to be honest. I like the thrill of the potential for losing my stuff.

since last month and hammered it but just seems like I only get killed by militia, I even tear someone in half with my HMG or he downs me with a militia assault rifle. Maybe I'm just raging but feels pointless spending time skilling up for good gear when in comparison and in game use their as effective as the stuff you started with.

I made a pilot character just to drive a tank, he has no combat skills other than what he maybe had to begin with and I'm fighting on par or better than the people I get put up against. Alright the dropsuit and modules ain't super but the guns are more than enough

I agree, I love that there is a consequence to dying in this, which annoys me more that people can play using starting gear where all my gear is from skills and I don't have an advantage, I know thats sounds childish but the point of an MMORPG is that players who put time into the game and get the better gear are better stat wise to people who don't.

So, this is a game that has a fairly long life span planned for it by CCP hence the limit on SP, and we're less than a month into the open beta, and you're angry that it's militia weapons held in militia suits that's doing the killing. What else do you think is going to be happening.

Some people are saving ISK to buy skill books, or saving up for when they're in advanced equipment as you can expect a fully fitted A-series to easily break 100,000 ISK per pop, or maybe saving it for Corp. matches, etc. This is a game of choices.

There's not suppose to be some massive gap between the weapon tiers, and passive skills add a massive amount to damage output and survivability. At level 5 weaponry in weaponry, and if a complex damage module is installed in a suit, a militia rifle has a 20% increase in damage. Add in a level 4/5 in assault rifle operations and the player can get very tight bolt grouping. And it's not just the weapon is Dust that makes the difference, it's how wisely SP is allocated and more importantly, player skill.

....I think you may have misunderstood my tone in my message. I'm not complaining.

Sorry, I quoted the wrong person. I'd read the quote from below, read the rest of the thread, fast scrolled back up and this^ happened. I use the best I'm able to as well. Some people I know are sitting on over 30million ISK. I've all my possible future skill books bought, ~4 million in the bank, and all my suits are being pushed to the limit. Happy days I regularly post at the wrong thing, but maybe this will be the last one.

Sorry Oxskull I think I may have suffered from an bad case of rage :P now I've had a brew ect and been thinking on it, if most of the enemy use militia then chances are when I do die chances are could be simply a militia gun got the last hit on me

Haha, I know the feeling Coleman. I got a bad dose of it earlier on. Enjoy the brew and I'll see ya in battle sometime. I promise I'll use a Gek

also lets at least wait a couple weeks, prototype gear might not even be in the game anymore by then if you listen to how the devs are talking.

oh why oh why is this game open beta allready :P

The current business model of the game is this:

• entice people to play their game by making it free. What do they have to lose when it's free?


• place certain things in the game that give slight leeway to the player who uses them accessible only through purchasing using money.

CCP is only making money off of AUR and perhaps Sony, so getting rid of AUR and AUR items in essence gets rid of the game because how else would CCP make money off a free to play game?

Only about a month or so new, Came top in more than enough games to make me happy but I'm not the only one who thinks Militia weapons are better than what their supposed to be
