Anyone else notice the changes and think wtf?
We go from 32v32 random mix of Ambush and skirmish with 10k WP to graduation. Then 8v8 Ambush only still 10K WP graduation. To now having 32v32 Domination only with just 400 WP to graduate.....So is CCP as confused with BA direction as I am by their changes to it?
If the idea was to prevent Alt trolling the BA how the hell do these changes affect that aspect? If anything it may make it easier for a vet player to wreak havoc in the BA.
I know the post says more info incoming and I must say I'm intrigued. It should be interesting to get some insight as to what the goal is. |

Honestly I have so little confidence that it never occurred to me it could be a typo. |

I see it as this: 400 WP is one game for anyone that gets eight kills. That's it. That effectively ends the Academy's infestation of the vermin using advanced gear, if not proto, in a mode of mostly militia and standard.
Added: It does not affect me personally, as I drift in for a weapon test every now and then with a new character, which normally consists of militia gear, spare for that one weapon (which is the meta 1). Only one group is affected by this.  |

True, that solves that problem like killing a bug with a Shotgun.
And then we're back to square one with the NPE.

I just noticed that the post said "Reducing the total War Points needed to leave the Academy to 400 war points."
So, it seems to really be a reduction and not a mistype. |

I read it as 400 WP as well. And yes I think it was to get the vets out of the Academy but I also think it may be to consolidate the player base by minimising the seperate game modes e.g. Ambush & OMS are now in the same que instead of seperate.
It may even be that there were not enough players in BA for it to be viable.
Whatever, the reason may be new players are going to be facing some tough times as they will barely have more than the starter SP when entering the main game. |

Yeah. Honest opinion? It'd be better to restrict the Academy to pure meta 3 or lower. It's bad enough they're already being thrown to the wolves the moment they step out. Just a general meta restriction matchmaking would stop this. With the playerbase as low as it is, I don't think this would work very well for a while. |

I didn't have it easy when I first applied. But fortitude overcame failure. Now here I am, rising. No doubt I expect the same out of the rookies. If they don't have it, then they were never meant to be a mercenary in New Eden |

Its this forum + who ever at CCP approves some changes that drags down Dust514
Unless CCP is confident in what they doing with Dust514 , wich so far is poor and it shows CCP has no ideea how to make a FPS BUT they have the good ideea of a FPS , Dust514 will always have more downs than ups.
So if you want to enjoy Dust514 , lower your standards and you will barely feel the dissapointment.

16v16, by the way.
I think you meant to say 32 players total. |
