yeah what the heck is ur malfunction ccp ur acadamy graduations need to be set way higher than what they currently are, and do you have a sp cap on acadamy battles aswell? my cousin tried to play today for the first time on his character i made him about a month ago (2.1mil sp) and he didnt even have an acdamy option, he has 0 wp on hin name but he was not aloud in the acadamy to learn anything about how this game works and i think thats a ripoff for him, just because he was saving up passive sp before he jumped into dust is no reaon he shouldnt be givin a chance to learn how it works with other new peope, lucky for him i was online to help him out but what about thoose ohers who dont hav family to help them how do you expect them to gain a decent grasp of how things work in this game?? i garentee i was not there to help him he would have quit after his first batle 2.1mil sp or not.

THE ACADAMY GRADUATION NEEDS TO BE SET TO WAR POINTS ONLY AND IT NEEDS TO BE 150,000, IF U WANT TO PUT A SKILL POINT CAP ON ACADAMY BATTLES IT NEEDS TO BE AROUND 6 MIL , BUT I REALLY DOUBT IF SOMEONE HAS 6MIL SP THAT THEY HAVE LESS THAN 150K WP UNLESS THEY WERE AN ALT ACCOUNT OR SOMEONE WHO QUIT THE GAME BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DAMN HARD TO LEARN WHILE GETTING PROTOSTOMPED.

We'll also be changing from Domination to Skirmish, so that we have solid numbers on all three game modes. As with last week's change, characters who log in after downtime and have scored between 1500 and 2000 War Points in their career to date will find themselves back in the Academy, which they'll leave (again!) when they accumulate 2000 total lifetime WP. Still needs increasing, a decent player can get that in one match, remember once they are out of the academy they are up against fully armed squads. the difference crushes a load of new players. I dunno, 2000 WP from one match is kinda hard TBH. Don't forget, we have the knowledge and experience to know what works and what gives the most WP. Experienced players get squads going, squad orders, uplinks, RE's, nanohives etc. Which new players might not know how to do yet. Newbies are likely to get most if not all their WP from kills, and at 50 WP per kill it's still around 40 kills. A decent newbie up against other newbies may get something like 7-15 kills in their first few games (hopefully) and that still translates to at least about 2-3 games before getting booted out. It's not AS bad as it seems, though I do agree that WP limit should be higher.
