I have to be honest with myself though, his point still stands.
There are a few options CCP could use to patch the system to help a little.I have no idea what small fix would be best but a few ideas have been floating around on the forums the last few months.
i still think the best solution is to put new players in a controlled environment with no other players in it. then instruct the new players to complete certain tasks by following a bot around a map.
this way they get to see what it is theyre about to learn and then can perform the action for themselves. i'd go through literally everything, from fitting suits and vehicles, basic combat controls, vehicle controls, equipment usage, to explaining game modes, how to hack and counter hack objectives, reviving players to avoid getting cloned out, how weapon profiles work vs armor and shield resistances.
their should be obstical courses for vehicles to learn the controls and a firing range that literally has you fire every weapon in the game against bots.
all that stuff is what should make up the "academy" that new players should be placed in when they first start.
plenty of fps do it that way... Tribes, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, Halo. its like an industry standard these days, and ccp somehow thinks theyre either exempt or too good to follow established industry practices. |

Some smart spawn areas are just horrible, and definite teiricide. I was never a supporter of segregating part of the player-base from any particular mode, but now I eally do think vehicles should be kept out of ambush. Regarding ambush spawns, its broken, and it has ALWAYS been broken for over a year. CCP demonstrated that they can't make it work after all this time, and they need to replace the spawn system completely. I totally agree with the need for tiercide. For ambush it might be good to get rid of smart deploy completely. Put in the MCC and redlines let people drop in and try to fight out from the redline and deploy uplinks for better spawn positions. Also how much vacation did ccp get for holidays? most people here in the US only had 3 days.
for ambush we should all just spawn in from up in the sky and drop in where ever we want. |

CCP Rouge in particular is very keen on this! But - we don't want to rush and push something out the door if it's not ready. It might take a while, but when we do release it we want to be satisfied with where it's at.
when has not being ready stopped you from pushing stuff out the door? You gave us FW without team deploy or the ability to select districts to attack or defend, and hell, the game itself wasnt even ready but you released it anyways. why not do it with PvE and just release it? at least we'd have it, which at this point is better than not having it and being stuck with the current affairs.
plus, having PvE now gives new players something to do other than get stomped for 6 months straight while trying to figure the game out.
