That would and should be long enough for players to get acclimated because they will see for themselves the player climb but it would not be that hard on and for them , players will be in their player base which would be not as hectic as just being thrown into the fray like it is now .
Amen brother!
This problem is compounded if the player is accustomed to fpses but not dust, since I recently invited a friend to play. He plays logi so after 2 academy matches he was kicked to real games, and he barely knew the control lay out.
Without a tutorial or pve, this issue will continue to prevent new players from getting involved, and the proto stomp will continue to make the community bleed players who might have stuck with it but got discouraged that after so many games they see no improvement.
Again, this problem is exasperated because in addition to all those aforementioned Things, noobs tend to mess up their sp, a lot. This needlessly extends the period that they are getting beat up by prototype soldiers.
I really think 2 respecs, like for new players in Eve, would be really helpful here. |

Let me reiterate. I don't think it should be universal. Maybe like 2 repecs until you get to 2M sp or something. Cap it at some skill level. Before that though, especially without militia variants of all the gear, noobs need that. |
