Let me tell you why that's bullshit.
1. This is Dust, not EvE. You cannot apply EvE logic to this game. I have been playing EvE for 4 years. It is not an FPS. They did not "get it right" the way you envision it. It is an MMO, it is not an MMOFPS. The end.
2. Removing tiers removes the concept of "ranking up". If I do not have 5m SP to sink into getting this shiny dropsuit, what the hell am I playing for? For stats that aren't visual? It's part of human nature to want to see something physical. Stats are not physical besides numbers that you see under the dropsuit information.
3. This removes personalization. There is no slot advancement if you have to choose from 3 slots or 4. It's not the same as a 0M/2L configuration going all the way up to 3M/4L. The less options you give players, the more angry they will be. The fact I can't run around in a suit made out of duct tape would **** me off. Nobody wants to be boxed in and forced to buy ADV level suits.
4. Inevitably, all would move up to Proto suits. Basically what you want to create is a hellhole where every player gets to experience the sea of lava from the deepest pits of hell the second they play by being surrounded by people who were boxed into wearing Proto-equivalent gear because what the hell else are they gonna use? MLT? Yeah right.
5. BPO? For ADV level gear? Saving 20k every single life? You clearly have never heard of pay to win games. Saving 3k a suit that you can upgrade 3 tiers is different than saving 20k on a suit that's one step below f*cking Proto. You would have to remove dropsuit BPOs, which is something I don't find particularly lovely.
6. The game is not meant to be fair. Period. A proto is not equivalent to a MLT suit. If you have a problem with that, I honestly don't know what to tell you because clearly you want a game that doesn't reward time invested so you actually have never played a CCP game before in your life.
7. "Tiers also lead to many items becoming obsolete once a higher tier version is unlocked." Are we even talking about the same game? I use my 'Exile' on my ADV suit. I have used it on my proto suit when the fitting got too tight. I use what fits - I fit proto gear on my standard suits (Complex damage mod and Complex armor reps/whatever they're called). Guess we had better make sure I can't do that either, huh?
8. If you want to apply EvE logic, there are hundreds of different spaceships. Not 8. I want hundreds of dropsuits to choose from. Not 8. Not 16. Not 32. I want 100. I want more than right now, and the Pilot/Commando give me that fix and I look forward to even more.
9. "Removing tiers would make the game much more fun since there will no longer be such a massive difference in HP between players" Again, are we talking about the same game? Slots used for health are not used for damage mods. The only health difference is between MLT -> STD. I can assure you, no one uses every slot just to put on plates/extenders.
10. "so basically everyone will have a chance to be effective, and do well without having to worry about massive advantages and disadvantages ruining their fun." Aww, yeah, you know, I don't think you've ever heard of the concept of artificial skill.
Pop a squat next to pappy and let me tell you a story. CCP games use artificial skill; you gain, let's say, 2% damage every week because you upgrade damage. You are not better at the game, you simply have been around longer so you get "artificial" skill. This is the whole point of playing. You not only gain true skill, you gain artificial skill. What you want this game to be is one without artificial skill gain. You literally want to make this game Call of Duty. You actually think a game that rewards you for being a veteran isn't "fun". Congratulations.
I'm going to be blunt, I hope nothing you suggest ever gets put into the game or I am never playing this game again. It will be a dead failed CCP project to me, and something not worthy of the drunkard but lovable CCP name. I will never acknowledge it exists and I will never suggest the game to another friend. I will disband my corporation and we will all leave.
If your idea is implemented, a larger percentage will be turned away from this game due to the brutal Protos smashing the newbies. Time invested will feel less worthwhile. You will drive away old players and new ones alike. You would kill the game effectively like a pesticide and you would do so for the sake of "fun" and "fairness".
The end. |

No, YOU shut the **** up. Stop trying to destroy the only FPS I enjoy. If I could I would send the OP straight to hell in a handbasket. This is by far the worst suggestion I have ever seen. It fucks over game design AND content - it REMOVES it. The OP sounds like your typical commie/socialist crying out for "fairness" and less choice. Suck my FREE, LIBERTY LOVING, GALLENTEAN ****.
Long Live Freedom; Long Live the Federation.
