I had enough time before work to play through the new battle academy.. It was a blast! Especially the after party!
Boy let me tell you after I I came out of that 20minute match i just knew I was destined for greatness what ever New Eden could throw at me I WAS READY!
500k SP in one hand an my starter fits in the other! Here I come!!! WATCH OUT WORLD!
Errrrr.. Wait... I know these guys....
Here we go im dropping in, ill just play it safe run with a squad after all my effective HP is almost as much as some of these guys shields alone!
Oh this is fun almost as fun as the academy !
Whelp, that was fun...... If only I had more time in the academy to at least get some advanced gear.... 
If I wasn't already invested on my main, you would of lost a player, there is no way in hell I would stay in this game after getting thrown to the sharks having 500k sp...
HTFU, This is New Eden ****, aside..... None of that applies, running around with 500k sp vs Squads of 5-10m sp possibly more...
Dafuq are you doing CCP.. first ambush only.. now domination where you can easily get 400wp in one game....... You may have a skilled, invested shooter that comes in, loves the academy (because hes on an semi even playing field may even see the potential in this game...) may even want to invest some time and money into our community, and you guys are royally screwing it up...
This double XP event is going to be FUUUN! with all these 500k sp players floating around in one days time

Dont get me wrong I appreciate the time it takes for newbies to become a competing force... As have I and many of the people posting in this thread, have put in hard earned money and time into this game and the gear and SP that we have earned to this day...
The point of this thread is to point out how idiotic it was to literally setup a "new player" experience that lasts 30mins... Sure if your a horrible shooter you could spend a few hours in the academy, but thats a whole nother topic...
I personally get frustrated with CCP's decisions about the academy because (besides IWS thinking all us vets just want to proto stomp newberries) the academy and new player experience is whats going to keep Dust alive...
Also I dont think new players should get anything for free imo that wouldn't be the New Eden way... But I agree with a few, SP should be uncapped till 5-6m for new accounts... They shouldn't even have the option of seeing us vets with 15+m SP till the reach 5-6m....
For those who say the SP gap argument will always be there sure it will but not to the extent of competition especially if newberries learn to focus train.. I know thats easier said the done but you'll have your competitive knowledgeable newberries and then you'll have your helmet wearing newberries, not all can be helped...
But if CCP provides them a safe place to grind out for a few months I can guarantee you either type will feel more invested in that character them they do with the current academy setup... |
