Whats to stop a proto user using proto in a standard room?
Its unfair to restrict users by equipment as this negates the whole point of getting better equipment in the first place!

Standard Rooms / Can use Militia, or Standard suits, weapons, gear, and vehicles only.

You get better equipment you move to a better room ..

My second point covers that, it would completly remove the point of tiers if going to advance room means everyone has the same standards of suit. You might as well remove adv and proto tiers and let every one slog it out in standard.

Im sorry, no offence or anything but it would completly nullify an incredibly large portion of the game.
Why would new players bother upping gear if it doesn't give them an advantage.

Proto room matches would be incredibly slow because everyone will have more health. The entire RPG element would become pointless. I'm sorry, but good on you for trying! Blink

Then what is the point now ... New players come to play the game get out of boot camp and get Proto stump and leave.
This way you can pick your room.

Theres more skills then just getting to proto that can give you an advantage over the next guy.

Theres more skills then just getting to proto that can give you an advantage over the next guy. Thats the point suits are an advantage. Proto Stomped has been largely reduced mostly because proto players are dieing quicker! But lets say we implement this. I start of in a standard room, I earn enough to the adv room. But why would I? All the guys ive been fighting in the standard room are gonna move up with me. I might as well stay with standard gear in the standard room, and just stomp the noobs who come in at the bottom. I mean its much more fun than going to the proto room and playing in a proto suit for 5 times the cost and getting stomped by theguys who have been playing in the proto room for the past 5 months. This is why have matchmaking, to stop that kind of thing happening. You group people based on their performance not the tier of suits they wear. Now before you start the flaming of "Your Just a Proto who enjoys stomping noobs", I run an all adv suit, I spread my horizons too quickly and have 3 adv suits and 2 adv weaponry. I could have easily joined the pro ranks, but instead I sit in the adv room where my divided sp gives me an unfair advantage. If there is more skills than just having a better suit, why do you feel the need to segregate them?

I dunno about you but I have been getting more even matches since the hotfix, every battle is a fight to the death. What needs to happen to eliminate Proto Stomping is a better NPE experience, the blueberries aren't educated enough in the beginning to understand what is going on!

Not I , It's Proto stump , proto stump , proto stump , proto stump , and then a good game. I spend more time jumping rooms then I do playing but thats from being around for a bit and know what corporations are using proto and not .. Potentially the matchmaking is putting you with proto squads because it thinks you can handle them. Also squadding yeilds better matches than solo, the squad finder will help with that!!

Nice suit and gun but can't use them right. Hundreds of factors but the main thing is hit detection and aim assist. More shots are hitting more consistently. Back n .3 a sheild extender at complex level would give best part of 3-5 secs extra survivability over an empt or none health slot. Now it only gives 0.25 secs which is rarely enough! So proto suit users are getting outsmarted becayse they are used to chop strafing into enemy fire. .4 physically closed the gap between different tiered suits.
