We need the option to get a trainingsmode.
Why.
Because Dust, just like Eve lives by its community, no matter how hard Ccp tries, their tutorials will only aid till a decent degree.
Best training you can get is from mercs who know how this game goes.
This is whats happining in EVE, and this should be in Dust aswell.
People come to this game from games like bf and cod, so fps-no-brainers. To teach those new guys will kill frustration in the beginning, and ot will help building a more stable playerbase.
Where's the problem?
pibmatches are no good spot for trainings, new mercs easily get distracted from the ongoing fight, and pubstomps and facing kick-ass players on the enemy side which might redline you while you try to explain ****, is not not only frustrating to the new mercs, but also to the few who stand up and try to teach.
PC-training on the other hand is quiet expensive and with problems like lag, this is also no valid option, besides that you need to either get a fake corp, or to find a trustable corp, and well, yeah, welcome to new eden ;)
besides that pc as trainings base is just not spontaneous enogoigh, you need to prepare 1 day before, and then you have to be there at the set time, hard to archieve with very new players, and I know from experience that in mist of those trainings pc's we have to field better players because the ne guys are not online.
Besides that, no gamemode gives you the option to select a map, which makes map-based training impossible.
So what do we need?
We need a gamemode where we can pre-select the maps.
All the gear you use in this gamemode should NOT cost you ANY money at all, for its only trainings. This goes for vehicles aswell as for Dropsuits.
Therefore it will also nt affect your statistics like KDR.
The person who sets up the fight should have an option to lock the fight so nobody else can join it, just a safety option to get rid of trolls.He also should have a director like option to kick players on both team sides.
This should be instant battles, no set time, you set it up, you play it.
In general those fight should be locked to only one corporation, which can bring ringers in.
Therefore this gamemode would not bypass PC as cheapo-PC.
Benefits
More efficient training viable.
With better educated mercs, the battlefield will change, Protostomps won't be that big of a deal if you dont have 16 uneducated mercs on the other side.
The playerbase will grow.
More varity on the field for mercs get the optio to really specialise and try new stuff out.
You will se an increase of vehicles on the field, for people will learn how to use them.
All in all this idea willchange Dust in a good direction with better structured pubmatches aswell as PC will become a real competition again.
another one bites the Dust...
