Wow. Got out of academy in 3 matches and immediately thrown to the wolves. I said it was bad from an outside perspective and now I can vehemently restate it even more from an insider perspective after an even larger sp gap in players.

Vets are leaving because they're bored and new players aren't going to stay in this clusterfuck. Things have to change.

Tiericide. Now.

I too created an alt, to see what it is like for newplayers. The tutorial system was not helpfull in the least. It just pointed at buttons to press, it didnt explain why I had to press the buttons, it just told me to press the buttons. I was pared with put into a domination match with nothing but new players twice.

Match three, was awfull. Six tanks and ten kilokata rail rifles trapped 15 new players and my alt in the mcc. Anyone who spawned at ground instantly died. Anyone who jumped from the mcc was shot in mid air or shot as soon as they landed. I sent mail out to some of my team to see how they felt after the game. They eather said the game was unballenced, or its a pay to win game and not worth there time.

Quote: So I made an alt today and graduated academy and OMG I was thrown to the wolves!! I kept playing Ambush games but hey, why play objective based matches where the enemies are spread apart, the chance to squad with decent players are 50 percent and I can learn the mechanics of the game? No I rather play ambush where the tanks roam and the protos stomp just so I can make a complaint thread that will generate likes. lee corwood wrote: My very first match was the last 2 mins of a skirm with both sides having 4 tanks each.

Poured all my points into core skills and kept running the militia starter gear. I almost exclusively run Militia and STD gear on my dropsuits... so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Once you have the core for armor 3 and shield 3, It can be picked up from there. For one, I'm not a great shooter. I'm 100% logi support on this char for good reason. For another...good for you?

Nice! I'm working on my gun game so I'm doing straight core skills and then scrambler pistol. The reduced bullets and restricted range is helping me to place my shots, not get eager and run a lot. Not really mad for myself but realizing that even if I wanted to, it's not like I could do anything else. They are either stuck in starter kits for a while due to the large isk costs of training manuals or they're sinking isk into suits prematurely without knowing if its really what they want. Point is, I can see how it would seem hopeless for a newbie just coming in. It's easy to throw around words like 'options' when you are a seasoned player with a bit of isk in the back and the experience behind the mechanics of the game. However, as a ballerina myself, I will say it was very refreshing to have a few games with no scanners at all. Minmatar Logisis \| Heavy lover. Come get some badass Band-Aids from this chick

We have trained a shitload of guys up from nothing. I'll be sure to let them know, Soul. Might even let this char jump in with you guys :D Minmatar Logisis \| Heavy lover.

The community is doing more for bringing up new players than anything and that's if and only if the player is motivated/even knows to come to these forums. Minmatar Logisis \| Heavy lover.

It will either balance Dust 514 well or tear the damn thing apart. So I've heard. The other argument out there is that we simply don't have enough players to properly tier anyways. However, I think it would be much simpler to tier newer players on 3 objective maps at only 8v8 or even 6v6, hell, even just a dom if it at least stimulates a worthwhile challenge instead of a '**** this, I'm out" mentality. If we have too small a pool anyways, it doesn't serve us well to not help it grow at all. Minmatar Logisis \| Heavy lover. Come get some badass Band-Aids from this chick
