Hmm, something new would be nice.
Milita only game mode. Where meta level 0 gear is the only gear allowed. I know there are a ton of people out there that would love a mode like this.
And I would take it a step further, and add in a vehicle free militia mode as well!
Somehow anything above meta level 0, needs to be disabled in game. If you load in with no saved fits < Meta Level 1, you won't be able to spawn.
Militia versions of all items needs to be added in. (We don't have this already do we? I'm a bit of an infantry noob)
In a mode like this, it would come down to the SP you have invested into your base skills. But! Most importantly, SKILL! Proto stomp this, proto stomp that. All comes down to skill in this mode. SP helps, but you won't have that huge advantage off the added slots and better mods.
Higher SP chars will have a very minimal advantage over the lower SP chars. Noobs would fair much better, and stick around for far longer in this way. People, for once, would LOVE to grind out SP. Everyone LOVES a fair fight. My few battles tonight, were pub stomps from our side.
And you know what, that **** is BORING.
You can't deny it. Yeah it's fun to totally obliterate the opposing team. But doing so means that you do a lot of waiting and searching. Truly to me it is a grind. I'm begging, please match, can you ******* hurry up already. We ******* beat them already, they have pretty much given up, a few scragglers here and there but at some point they stop too. Boring
You want to make a competitive game, then DO THIS.You know what makes PC so enjoyable. Because you know every single person is on your level. Everything is proto (or should be!). That's why we play this game, to compete. But many don't like feeling like they are gimped, to those of greater isk and SP.
Want player retention, THEN DO THIS.You got all the weapons, and mods and suits to play with. New players will learn a hellva lot faster in this way, what does what, what they like, blah blah blah. From there they can decided fully in which way they would like to go SP wise. But all the while they have this mode in which they don't have to feel gimped by those of greater SP.
This will also encourage people to gain SP, if you make more endgame content (aside from PC) or add more planets to PC (A LOT MORE).
Give people a mode to play in cheap gear, with much lower payouts, but far fewer losses.
I know everyone wants this!!!! And I know someone has had to suggest this. Why don't we have it already!!
