It isnt very welcoming at all.. It goes more like this ..
Hey there! sign up for dust now to play free!
Welcome to Dust 514! follow this reasonably well made tutorial and play one reasonably okay game of Dust in the Academy!
Well done! you played just as well as everybody else!
Now go f*ck yourselves and become tank fodder for the next couple hundred games! :D
anybody else agree?
New Comers need to be quarantined from the 30m+ SP vets.. Other games such as Call of Duty might not place players in different ranks, but thats because its completely balanced (except for time played experience).
In order for the Dust514 community to grow, games NEED to be tiered off in some way. Most preferably through SP caps.
the order would work as follows..
Tier1 - 500k > 1m SP
Tier2 - 1m > 1.75m SP
Tier3 - 1.75 > 5m SP
Tier4 - 5m > 10m SP
Tier5 - 10m + SP
Freemode - 3m SP + only
note: All tiers can enter tiers above their rank, but not below it. This is subject to change for balance though.
at 500k to 1m sp, players will have a rough understanding of where they want to be positioned in the game. They will have a rough understanding of what to aim for, and will have set their own goals.
at 1m to 1.75m sp, players will have a flavour of what its like to fight all other variants of the game. At this level, a few prototype players will be roaming the field, but not to the extent that people will be decimated or outmatched.
Tiers 3 and 4 will be the basis for equality. It will separate the veterans from the decent players, and will keep the game at a solid and enjoyable pace for everybody.
Tier 5 is the veteran tier. It is for those so called proto stompers that roam ambush and slaughter everything everywhere. I know how difficult it is to beat these stompers, Im in nyain san :)
Freemode, is a mode that any players over 3m SP can join into. It keeps the game interesting as it may be a completely unbalanced fight in or against your favour. This is basically what we play now, except there is a minimum entry requirement.

If it was all about equipment, there would be no sense of accomplishment. If you earn an amazing new piece of tech, its immediately matched by your opponents. That would take the thrill out of the game entirely.

Dust is largely gear dependant. the experience should come naturally over a couple hours of gaming, and then advanced through days , months of extra gaming to tweak and enhance your playstyle. Trying to balance a game based of a human beings ability to play a game is unreasonable. We can only match based on what we can accurately determine, ie. Skill Points.
