So i've been playing this game for about 9 months now. I love this game's core idea, but it has it's flaws. And have been doing some thinking recently. I've come up with a few ideas either to level the playing field and make the game more balanced.
1. Possible fix to Proto-Stomping.So from playing if you have around 10-12 million SP you can have your proto suit, weapon of choice, and core skills relatively high. So if CCP sets a CAP to players under 12 million SP then can grind all the time without a CAP. So say if you grinded your heart out you can have 12 million SP in a month. But once you hit your 12 million SP you get put onto the now weekly cap. The 1st cap can be changed if needed to obviously.
The match-making for this would be for players under 5 million would be the 1st section. Then 9 million and below would be the second section. And from 9-12 million would be the last section. They play on each section depending on their SP, and all 3 sections are open until you hit 12 million SP. So if you think your good enough to play the 12 million and under section with 3 million SP go right ahead.
2. Balancing issuesEven though this game is "released" it's still a beta. Things are still relatively not working as intended. Since this game is relatively un-balanced it would be nice to have respecs in the game to test things until the game is in a later state when there isn't many core balancing issues. Since scout and heavy are the two suits most talked about getting buffed. Players who are still scout and heavy to the heart can stay and wait things out, or you can switch to something else until your desired suit gets fixed. Since the core nerf that forums want is AR's right now. CCP could, instead of waiting for 1.6 deploy hot fixes to balance weapons that could either have a public beta server to test issues like this or have players to be able to respec test a hot fixes to AR's.
3. Message to CCPI realize you can't fix and balance this entire game in a week. But things that you guys need to realize is what the players want. So say to you guys you think the game is perfect the way it is. But everyone on the forums are complaining. Then change your road map to fixing the issues NOW. Not worrying about adding all the suits or weapons. This can help retain your player base.
I will continue to play this game until it gets better. I love the concept and get wait for it to get to the finished product
Any feedback is much appreciated
TL;DR: Have a unlimited cap until 12 million SP. Have respecs to help test the game. CCP change your roadmap to fix current issues, not future things.
