Rizlax Yazzax Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 47	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:43:00 - [6] - Quote I'm on the line when it comes to proto in pubs. There's only one protosuit I use for pubs and that's so I can swarm effectively but I have plenty of fits that use complex extenders/reps and my logi always uses proto rep tool, even on the cheap fit. So while it is annoying being stomped by full proto squads, where is the cut-off point between stomping and just being more effective? If I use a proto suit and weapon but ADV mods is that stomping? How about an ADV suit and weapon but proto mods? Or a proto weapon on a militia suit? Sure a full proto set-up is the definitive stomp fit, but at what point does it stop being a good fit and become a stomper? And also other points such as matchmaking/lack of game types that make stomping so easy etc etc.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 5976	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:43:00 - [8] - Quote Can't disallow proto in pubs, disallowing anything is bad. You just need to make it so running proto in pubs is less appealing. The problem stems from two reasons, 1) PC generates too much ISK, many people can run proto all day every day without giving it a second thought 2) FW isn't enticing enough. CCP thought if they gave players and ISK sink they would sink the ISK, but no one is going to sink ISK just for the sake of it. Most would rather do pubs which rewards better.

Storm Shelton Ethereal Horizon 15	Posted - 2014.01.26 10:44:00 - [9] - Quote Well, I agree with you on the terms of pub stomping. It does get a bit too ridiculous with certain individuals who exploit every OP asset available, All the time. Nonetheless, It is a realism of Dust514 and you will have to accommodate to the challenge, As I'm sure you already have. For example: I do not play ambush past 9:00 P.M. (EST). Reason? Nyain San is pubbing with tanks, tanks & Oh did I mention tanks? Its a strategy they employ and I don't feel like losing my 350k Logi suits for no cause, So I will play Skimishes or Dominations unless for some odd reason I'm feeling lucky. (That is usually accompanied by lots of alcohol) Its just one of the realities on Dust you have to face and accept. Good day sir! o7 You're saying its a bad idea? Well stick around.

PVE is answer to everything tho. I came back hoping to see PvE content in the game because fighting in these battles as a solo is a joke. I don't play enough to be in a corp so there is no point in joining one. I have seen the tank squads and proto squads you speak of and they do faceroll the newbies with ease. There needs to be a cut off point or to segregate the different tiers of suits and equipment. I would say add a hidden point range to the different tiers say at 0 to 100 points you can go into a standard fitted battle 100 to 1000 advanced 1000 to 2000 prototype battles. The points for the tiers could go something like 50 for advanced suits and 20 for the equipment of advanced stats. 100 for prototype suits and 50 for the prototype equipment. This way if you make a suit with to high a point range you will be moved to the next battle up and wont be able to compete against the new players in militia equipment.

Teilka Darkmist 76	Posted - 2014.01.26 11:06:00 - [21] - Quote Doesn't really matter what we think about it, CCP aren't going to ban anything from any game mode. Not without a very good lore reason behind it. As far as I know the closest they've ever come to this is making it so Capital ships can't go to certain parts of space, which makes sense as stargates can't jump them around, you need jump drives and cynos to do that. Proto suits on the other hand, are just a more advanced version of the advanced suits, they have a bit more armour, a bit more shields, more slots and a higher PG and CPU output. There is no lore reason to disallow them from certain types of games. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Piraten Hovnoret Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 246	Posted - 2014.01.26 11:24:00 - [31] - Quote The problem is not protostomping it's that the jump from ACADAMY to EVERYTHING else is to steep. When you throw in ppl that are in militia gear against 30-40 Miljon sp players only one thing can happen. The great thing about eve is the security rating of the systems where new players can get into the game learn and have fun in 00 space then expand out when they are ready, however 00 space is not locked to them and that is AWSOME. In dust well you do 3-4 ACADAMY games ( if TOTALY new to the game ) then you are thrown into " 0,0 space " I have had friends that have tryed dust and they LOVE the ACADAMY but after a day or 2 in the other games they just ask me "Wy should I keep on doing this bull **** it's not fun" And that's the biggest problem this game has it's just not fun for new players. Al other issues like gun balance, tanks etc are not the problem in the long run, new player base is Regards War never changes
Oswald Rehnquist 1167	Posted - 2014.01.26 11:25:00 - [32] - Quote I disagree, and it doesn't solve the root problem, also coming from a guy who doesn't have sp into a single suit and still only runs bpos. TTK is so short that the difference between militia and proto is like a split second of difference, the main dividing factor is player skill and teamwork. Stomping will always occur with our current matchmaker system. To give an example when my fw squads (of randoms) want to do pubs to get isk, we run our cheap bpo/std suits to recuperate but the match is still a stomp regardless, often redlining them in the first 5 mins. And the reason we stomped was because we played with each other in harder fw matches so we have familiarity with each other, we are talking to each other, we asked for help to raise up our shortcomings, we coordinate attacks and are not afraid to sacrifice ourselves if it really gives us the upper hand (we can ask people to watch our back as we hack), etc. That's a lot of work for a non communicative group of randoms to deal with, we do fw 99% of the time but some in the group need isk so sometimes we'll do a few pubs like one day of the week for a couple of times, but the results are mostly the same as I described Below 28 dB

Judge Rhadamanthus Amarr Templar One 1346	Posted - 2014.01.26 12:05:00 - [41] - Quote I think we have to consider the size of the player base to. We could balance it after matchmaking to allow for the smaller player base. Off the top of my head : 1) Scotty puts the best mix he can together based on queue size, squads etc. If a % of people on each team can run proto then any suit is allowed. If only one team has proto then it lowers the max tier allowed to advanced. What I am getting at is maybe some match balancing can be made after the teams are together rather than before. Or another top of the head idea : 2) If one side is determined to be better geared, or has more pre-made squads the calculation for battle payout changes, so the disadvantaged team gets a higher reward than usual, to compensate them for the likely loss of more suits.

Teilka Darkmist 76	Posted - 2014.01.26 12:19:00 - [45] - Quote CCP are still working on getting all the different racial gear into the game. Yes, you can argue that it should have been in at launch and I don't totally disagree. Of course that would have put off the release of the game by another year at least. Whilst I know I would have waited, I have a feeling that a lot of others wouldn't. Then they'd still have the problems of shoring up server stability when a full complement of players were online (something they still haven't solved in EVE 10 years on as the playerbase keeps growing and the technology keeps changing), they'd still have to do balancing, patching, fixing exploits and bugs that they didn't catch in development, alpha or beta (which happens with every game). They'd also have to keep working on adding new content to the game as that's what is expected of a game in the New Eden universe. Plus they'd have to keep dust current with what was going on in EVE. So maybe give the team a bit of a break, I'm pretty sure that they're working as fast as they can as if the game goes under, they'll likely all be out of a a job. Tiered matches may reduce protostomping, but it won't stop tankspam and it won't stop teamwork being more effective than a team each doing their own thing. It will also create teams of people who just stay in the lower tier matches with their skills maxed farming isk. So instead of some matches being protostomps, we'll end up with basic and advance being mostly unplayable due to the teams farming them. The nature of the game means that you will not ever stop one group of people stomping others.When the entire aim of the game is to beat the opposing team and you get rewarded for it, some will go to whatever lengths they can to win. My suggestion to CCP would be take your time so that you get it right, but bring out the rest of the gear, get the player market up and running (this will help more than most people think it will in my opinion) and get the Eve devs to support it by adding infantry gear BPO's and BPC's to Eve so they can start experimenting with production as soon as is practical . Then link the markets and let transfers of isk (and aurum, I have some I'm never going to use in Eve) from Eve to Dust and vice versa and adjust the isk reward of matches so that it relates to the market. Once the PvP game is solid, and the market is stable, then's the time to work on the PvE. Perhaps include in there some turtorial PvE which goes through each aspect of the game for the new players, before they get into the academy to try the PvP, throwing a player straight in to PvP so they have to learn how to play whilst also under fire from other players is somewhat akin to throwing new players into space with just their starter ship and no instruction on how to do anything. Those are just my ideas though. I'm sure that there are plenty of people here on the forums who will disagree. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

The biggest problem right now is the new players being tossed from the academy. I have recently had my desire to yell about this refueled after making alts for peoples recruiter links and listening to what happens with new players as they traverse their first day in New Eden. One minute they are happily shooting and being shot at and very soon after they are either utterly silent, horribly cursing their opponent who just melted them with a duvolle, or just gone. I saw this as well with the 20 or so people I brought to the game a few months after I joined. I challenge you to make an alt and go through 6-8 academy matches making zero points until you have recruited a full squad of eager young dust bunnies and then bring them into our world out side of the academy once they are all close to being booted from the academy anyway. Unless you like listening to frustration the results of this experiment will make you choose whatever causes this in your opinion and warrior up on it as well.

Leonid Tybalt Dark Knightz Corp. 197	Posted - 2014.01.26 13:20:00 - [51] - Quote Disagree. Proto suits are expensive. You risk losing a lot more isk whenever you die in one than you do running a std or adv suit, and the std and adv suits are still perfectly capable of killing the proto suit. An expensive suit should be more useful and deadly in it's own than a less expensive suit. Otherwise, whats the point of paying more if they're pretty much equal?

The challenge, of course, is how to implement better matchmaking. My choice would be contract matching, but there are plenty of other ideas out there.

We could balance it after matchmaking to allow for the smaller player base. Off the top of my head : 1) Scotty puts the best mix he can together based on queue size, squads etc. If a % of people on each team can run proto then any suit is allowed. If only one team has proto then it lowers the max tier allowed to advanced. What I am getting at is maybe some match balancing can be made after the teams are together rather than before. Or another top of the head idea : 2) If one side is determined to be better geared, or has more pre-made squads the calculation for battle payout changes, so the disadvantaged team gets a higher reward than usual, to compensate them for the likely loss of more suits. 3) Build teams based not on gear or SP but on performance in the last 4 games. I have proto but rarely run it outside of PC, I have many SP but it is in a class that has less effectiveness than the same SP in another class. Look at my last few games kills and WP to decide my skill. Put my in a battle based on that. Automated matchmaking in a sandbox universe with imposed limits. We need difficulty levels in with risk versus reward scenario's the players can choose for them self's. No matter what tools you give a new player to couple month old player, they shouldn't be going up against a player that has been playing for a year, they will always get wrecked.

Better Matchmaking Better Scotty matchmaking would help, more sifting of suit and skills than we are currently seeing. Better Match Start Sync The other thing that would help is syncing the start of the match - both sides should start within 10 seconds of each other, not 1 minute or more apart. Presently, often you enter a match now to find that the other side has established itself for a minute, already got vehicles and uplinks in and its a losing game from there.

Well as it stands we conduct Pub matches in high security space with no form of matchmaking at all, so what we do is move that exactly asmit is over to null sec. High sec matchmaking won't mean that you won't ever come across proto suits, but the people wearing those suits will have a similar skill level to you. So you will still likely see all tiers of suits but you will be less likely to have tonnes of useless blueberries against full proto l33t squad, instead blueberries will be matched with blueberries. Then just give a pay and sp rise incentive for null sec pubs and voila, proto groups can do what they want in null sec, new players don't get stomped andmif your having a bad daygo back to high sec space for battles.

So while it is annoying being stomped by full proto squads, where is the cut-off point between stomping and just being more effective? If I use a proto suit and weapon but ADV mods is that stomping? How about an ADV suit and weapon but proto mods? Or a proto weapon on a militia suit? Sure a full proto set-up is the definitive stomp fit, but at what point does it stop being a good fit and become a stomper? And also other points such as matchmaking/lack of game types that make stomping so easy etc etc. When it becomes a problem is the same pricks every day over and over again, that's the problem.

kiarbanor S.e.V.e.N. General Tso's Alliance 291	Posted - 2014.01.26 22:36:00 - [89] - Quote Tech, I'm still of the mindset that all CCP needs to do is change the reward system in pub matches. What I mean is that if someone is wearing a Starter Fit and kills a proto, he should get more than 50 points. If someone in proto kills a starter fit, he should get way less than 50 points. Those war points turn into ISK and SP. So, you will actually earn more ISK and more SP if you don't wear proto. I don't think we can have a "militia/standard" only game mode any more because we just don't have a player base big enough. I think this reward system can easily be attached to how much a fitting costs ; this can apply to vehicles, too. Let's say you always get 50% of the value of the fitting in war points. So, if I kill a 300k proto suit, I get 150 WPs. And the lowest you can get is like 20 WPs (if I kill a full BPO fitting that costs nothing). It would change the complexity of pub games. This allows people to proto stomp all they want, but those people getting stomped have an incentive to go after those protos and not hide and Sit in the MCC. I'll be interested what faults people find in this; we've talked about it for a long time in Se\7eN.

That may be correct, but what's the point of calling it highsec or the comments Wolfman made (quoted earlier) if not to have an "easier" or protected area for lesser skilled players? Either way, let's say its not really highsec, but in a game without PvE I still would be against pub proto stomping solely for the NPE and player retention (which really is the main reason I am in any context).

[Type C] Advanced / Proto matches = Just what you would expect, advanced and proto gear / suits / weapons only. As for vehicles this would have to be decided. Probably similar restrictions, militia stuff in militia mode, everything else in advanced mode. This is while still keeping the original modes we have now where EVERYTHING goes.

They could technically make NPE much more bearable immediately while dividing and conquering balance in a more manageable fashion. I see pubs as high-sec, and this would be a great way to make it a lore based decision seeing as though New Eden has these mechanics already for the same reasons. NPE. Needs to change.

At least this way the people that get slaughtered in pubs have another option that doesn't make every pub match take 10 minutes to form because the of the 100 or so people queuing for pubs at all times are spread out between 12 different game modes. Also PVE will make those new players stick around, won't really take away from pubs too much, so long as we make pubs more worthwhile when grinding sp or isk. I have an ego?!
