Give 1 million starting ISK (non transferrable).
Give 1 3-day active booster (non transferrable, non refundable).

Those are just some basic changes that would be both easy to apply (except maybe the respec token) and would make life a lot better for newer players. Until they get a bigger player-base and matchmaking is quite a bit better, it's always going to be rough for new players, though.

I'd rather Let new characters Have the Weekly SP cap limits removed until 5 m Skill points. Get them hooked on that sweet persistent skill system drug early Blink

But really no player should leave the Battle academy without having a Quest to put down a nanohive and have 2 people get ammo from it.

Put down a uplink and have 2 people spawn on it...

Use a repair tool.

Get 1 kill with a majority of the MLT weapon options..

Call in a MLT tank and get a kill with it.

Call in a MLT dropship and stay in the air for 1 minute...

Hack 10 objectives..

Hack 5 structures..

Destroy 1 structure...

These are basic quests every New mercenary in DUST should have to do before leaving the Battle Academy...

We need to TEACH people how to play DUST 514 first... You can hand all the tools you want to a player... Computer generated Tracking systems.. Better suits, Guns... More SP... But it won't improve much if they don't understand the game.

Bax Zanith 48	Posted - 2014.02.25 13:36:00 - [9] - Quote I created an alt a few weeks ago, to see if it was as bad for new players as everyone said. It was far worse then I imagened. There is a varry vague tutorial in place, it just tells you to press buttons. It dosnt tell you why your pushing those buttons, it just tells you to push buttons. It dose give them a one day active booster at the end of the tutorial, but it dosnt explane what the booster dos for you. There needs to be a controlled environment for new players to learn in. I can only hope CCP uses the power of PvE to build a reliable tutorial system, but knowing CCP... I'd say walk in my shoes for a day, but you probably still won't understand.

Vrain Matari Mikramurka Shock Troop Minmatar Republic 1672	Posted - 2014.02.25 13:46:00 - [12] - Quote CCP talks a lot of talk about the NPE, but in terms of what's been delivered there's nothing other than a half-assed minimal-time-invested 3 part objective system. It's a prioritization thing, and is best measured by actions, of which, to the best of our knowledge, there are none. The hope is that the NPE is being agressively worked on behind closed doors and depending heavily on input from the CPM. But at this point that's all it can be for the playerbase - hope. Personally, i'm tempted to think that CCP is fully aware that this game is going to absolute hell for new players for a long time to come, and has made the conscious decision to not invest in the NPE, devoting development assets instead to repairing the situation they created in beta. Once again, the playerbase called this a long time ago. I hope to god a change of philosophy has come to Shanghai/Reykjavik wrt the development of DUST. I support SP rollover.

However if it were to happen, I think they should get the extra 1.5mil after graduating the academy to keep the academy a kind of militia standard thing only... well that can be easily bypassed by waiting on passive sp but it would be the same as it is now anyway.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1330	Posted - 2014.02.25 14:31:00 - [15] - Quote Make Academy a PVE training simulation. Aura takes you through the mechanics. Then you can enter a regular pub match where Aura continues to instruct you to do specific things. She comments about how other players are different than the AI. She notes how you get your butt kicked easier. Make the suit you use a special fit that you can't change until the training is over. It will essentially be a proto everything suit. You can't use it outside the tutorial nor fit it differently. The catch is that you can only proceed through the match according to Aura's instructions therefore, Nyain San can't spam new chars just to mess up the intent of the game as they are want to do. That way we get noobs in pubs but they will actually be an asset for the core game objectives. That way the rest of us can relax on the redline and snipe to our heart's desire.

Mainly because im old enough to have experienced games that, back in the day, expected you to actually read through the instructions manuals to find out how the controls work and other necessary information. Options lets you find the controller scheme, and "Show Info" on every skill and piece of equipment let's you see the exact attributes involved. But "kids these days" are obviously too lazy to do such basic legwork. No, they want "training modes" and "tutorials"...

Somehow, it seems like that "fix" screwed new players more than old. They could've reduced the rewards. They could have a parallel economy, where most of your battle rewards are in "Academy tokens" that are only good while you can still use the academy, and/or can only be used on skillbooks and STD equipment. I wouldn't personally give them 2 million SP to start, or leave the SP uncapped to 5 million. I think that would be unlikely to happen to begin with because I assume a large chunk of AUR sales go towards boosters, and removing the cap removes a large incentive to use them. I think something closer to the cerebral accelerators, etc. you can get on new characters in EVE, where you have something that's only good for X time or in this case... while you're in the academy or till you hit 30k/whatever WP. For the period it's active, your weekly SP cap is doubled (old-school doubling that impacts both passive and active battle sp, but not regular passive SP, and the double cap can be affected by boosters).

Being able to use a Passive booster and active booster and still have to earn your SP? just no weekly cap limit that often turns people off at the start... When you become a vet though you see it as a necessity. The boosters with that would still make a massive improvement... and people who use boosters and the 5m SP could become competitive on the DUST scene somewhat quickly.. Giving new up and coming corporations more Room to expand and get stronger within a few months instead of half a year and a handful of really good friends. The main loss in sales would be Aurum Items reducing the skill need... As you will be able to gain basic set of gear somewhat quickly adverse to the slow purposeful grind of the weekly cap system.

This is pretty much the same philosophy CCP has adopted, not necessarily in plan, but in action. Do you know what the consequence of that is? An unfriendly environment that does not encourage retention of new players, but rewards veterans who exploit the naivety and general lack of knowledge of these new players. Games that have no incoming players die. It's true that New Eden is tough as **** and can be a cruel mistress, but this newbie-phobia that CCP has seemed to adopt is killing Dust. This game has massive potential, but the basic fundamental aspects of it are so horribly flawed.
