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.

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.

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.

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.
I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

While I'm glad they have anything at all now, I feel like the tutorial and academy is kind of a joke. 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.

Patrick57 wrote:Should've used a Tank
Yeah, I created an alt and spent all the sp on getting the large blaster & rail to Std and then shield & armor to Std. Made a blaster sica and put on 2 small missile launchers. Called it in at the start of the match and waited on 2 blueberries to get in. We spent half the match sitting on the objective just shredding the enemy. When it became obvious the enemy gave up on the objective, the blueberries jumped out and then I moved towards the redline. It got to the point where I'd just shoot a guy once and say "you're dead" (wasn't actually dead though) then tap the trigger at someone else and said "you're dead", etc... Then when their MCC was at a quarter armor I just sat in front of their redline spinning in circles letting them shoot me with swarms and ram LAV's into me. Surprisingly the only other tank to be called in was a rail tank on our team towards the end of the match.
Went 41/0 with ~3,200 WP's that match. Felt so bad I almost sent an apology mail to everyone on the enemy team.

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.

it all comes down to the communities attitude. CCP allows pub stomping and we do it. They allow isk farming and we do it. There is no standard besides greed. And we love it. Not everyone does that's why we have very few players.

I have gotten a character so far to 2millSP, not spent any isk or SP, all starter fits, actually do pretty well TBO. I was testing to see wether its worth even worrying about, so far the game is more fun.

Because it's a typical problem that's been needing to be addressed for quite some time. Even the OP knew it.
CCP hasn't cared to change it yet, and won't with Legion possibly being created.
At fanfest they said the academy has done well for NPE so far. Think about it. |
