Reason I ask is because of the following.
Played public match (Domination)
My team, mercs of random AI corporations (rookies)
Opposition, six man squad from vacuum Cleaners LLC, and six man squad from beer for evil mercs, both advanced player corporations.
Duration, 5 mins approx.
Outcome, my team total map raped by these two player corp squads outfitted with top prototype suits, weapons, vehicles, and equipment.
Request, extended training period at beginning of player career so as to get a foot on the map or issue double skill points during training period
Thanks. |

There is, it's called Instant Battle Academy, and it is nowhere near sufficient. 1200 (if my memory is correct) WP and you're out. Which is a few games for most skilled players. 1 Million total SP would be better, as it would be roughly a week for a dedicated grinder, and allow them time to acclimate to Dust and get better gear. |

For a skilled player 1200wp is a sub par match. And yes, the academy needs to be longer, but CCP has already planned some new tutorials for 1.5 so lets wait until next week or the week after to see how the new player experience has changed. Perhaps those blueberries will come out the new tutorials ready to kick something other than their own rears. |

If you read the notes about what the "tutorials" are going to be they're basically bs, just standard things most mercs learn how to do anyways or just ask their corp mates or even local. The tutorial I would want to give mercs in training would be least 3 hours long and would be fun, but they would focus heavily on squad interaction and more of the finer tuned points that you have to look for in the game instead of just common blow off things. Heck for part of it, I would throw em down in a match hopefully PvE but PvP would be fine as well, and during the entire match they would be outfited with pure proto gear, temporarily maxed out skills etc just so they understand the difference between milita grade and proto and that people in proto suits aren't gods. |
