Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 5715	Posted - 2014.03.15 18:16:00 - [1] - Quote I see how you like to tell the new players to "HTFU" and adapt your tactics because it's supposedly easy to kill you, so why not prove it? My challenge, is to run a completely new character for the period of 1 month, and then post your stats. Since it's relatively easy to kill "Protobears" with teamwork, this should be a cakewalk. However to simulate the NPE, you are not allowed to transfer ISK into the new character, nor are you allowed to run with a squad of players wearing PRO gear themselves.

Nothing Certain Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 307	Posted - 2014.03.15 18:31:00 - [4] - Quote I'm a stompee more than a stomper but I've now got enough SP and experience that I can do alright but for the event I ran a new character and it is tough. I'm running into suits that I can literally empty my entire AR rifle magazine into and a good part of my SMG and they will still be walking. I snuck up on a sniper last night and at point blank range did exactly that and didn't manage to kill him. There are good proto players out there who could manage to do ok probably, but most overestimate how much their skill is involved in their score and underestimate how much the SP they have sunk does. I did. Because, that's why.

They are called Chinese isk farmers and EVE is riddled with them. How many people on this forum are aware of a little thing in EVE called bot mining? A person will box several accounts or use a bot program to control several mining ships in high sec and just send them back and forth auto mining to sell for isk. It is coming ppl. Bots. If we don't already have them, we will. That is probably the main reason CCP wanted to put this game on the PS3. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

If your up for it, then why not eh? -HAND Before open beta ended by K/D was brutal, thanks to players like xxXShotsxx spamming tanks and corps like Imperfects who I could never get away from in Ambush matches. After beta ended, I spec'd into the most OP class I could think of Cal Logi. I ran a pure eHP set up and did quite well for a few months until I got bored. I ended up teaming with a few corps members and a certain female member gave me ** for running Proto gear and since that time I have rarely used it, i don't even have a Proto in my option screen. I rarely squad up, preferring to just login and play a few games a day and not wait around for squads or find a random squad of idiots. I am by no means elite SP wise (open beta puts me around 14-15m SP), i got bored of running a shotgun cal logi adv and decided I would use my alts to see what builds I might like. I don't know how to transfer ISK to an alt (I have tried but couldn't figure it out, i assumed use a third party) but for the last month or so I've been max'ing out my main weekly SP and in that time I've spend *** around on my two "alts". Alts are connected to my main, so I don't have another PSN to collect passive SP. I don't use drop ships or HAV's I simply wanted to see both the new player experience and to use my alt to try CR and RR because it seems everyone else is having a great time with them. I also wanted to try different logi classes in case I decided to spec into them on my main. If you've read my posts you know I am highly critical of the matchmaking system matching noobs with pro's and that seems more the case with my alts running against elite teams than my main who runs FC while alts needs ambush to collect ISK. My logi K/D is about 3 when using old set up, probably in the 2 maybe 2-2.5 when not ***** around with a light suit and RE which I enjoy using. I had in CoD (3-3.5) before I tried to complete every challenge and unlock every gun and started doing stupid suicide or trick sniper shot. My main old weapon was shotgun with hgh eHP build running hives and nano injector but now like I said i use adv light suit with RE for the past few months. Alt 1 - 850k SP went into Min Logi and is 1.75 K/D and is half RR and half NK. - this is after I died a hell of a lot day 1 of the challenge. Alt 2 - 1.5 K/D with 800k SP only has medium min drop suit and uses CR and scrambler pistol - only played 10 matches here for clone challenge but also died a lot. So I did your challenge, i did it for myself month ago and the reasons I stated above. The RR and CR are great guns which are far superior to the AR. The breach shogun are terrible. Its nesrly impossible to kill a heavy with Proto gear on with lv3 CR/RR with one clip. Don't get me started with trying to kill dropships or tanks without turrets. I really hope to get additional 1m SP on both alts and use the suit re-spec to get my alts into Min Scout RR/NK and Cal Scout CR/ScP both at advanced. The new player experience is horrible, very difficult both gameplay (matching up against Proto gear, superior SP, elite corps like outer heaven, NS, and several other stompers). It's probably compounded when the game is new, I struggled a lot coming from CoD while I think if you came from xbox's Halo the struggle would have been less. 1. Improve matchmaking, everyone should have equal chance to kill each other, each team should have equal chance at winning, and everyone should be matched evenly via k/d wo & SP. 2. New player experience has to be improved. Give new players up until 3M SP in a battle training ground, let them use all weapons at std and all suits at lv1 and after the 3M give them a re-spec.

I'm not butthurt. I've been playing on this character for almost year now, and have access to the funds necessary to protostomp pubs for the rest of my DUST 514 career. I could easily pull out a tank or PRO gear myself if I'm up against people wearing them. I was actually trying to help you guys. By doing the fulfilling the challenge, you'd prove that it's easy to kill PRO suits with tactics and teamwork, and that the playerbase simply needs to HTFU. It's not that hard, so why not? You know you've got them good when they begin to make baseless assumptions and pull the "leul ur butthurt bruh" card. Can you please flash that e-peen a bit clearer? I need some note's on the pubstomper's average e-peen size as well. I'm having quite an interesting trip into the mind of a pubstomper. edit: Also, what would this character's name happen to be?

Instead of playing on even ground they seek games like Dust because they need a major advantage over others to be competitive. Aren't good in CoD well I have a game where if you pay 60$, the same price as a CoD game, you can be better than everyone without requiring the skill. Don't have the ability to play FPS, how about we set you up in a tank, nothing like BF where you can get owned in vehicles but this game you can suck and still put up numbers because no one can harm you outside of other elite players. And ofc you dont have to worry about other elite player because elite dont play vs elite the py just exit the lobby when they see each other. Nothing but people who can't cut it in other FPS, they use Dust and a steroid type boost to their "skill" from their massive SP. There are some great players, but great players don't use a crutch... No need for superior gesr, no need for superior team or squads... Real FPS pick up a controller and play and they sit around and wait for other losers with high SP to join their squads to stomp on newbies who no matter their skill level aren't going to compete with high SP teams spamming Proto gear, 6 tanks etc... So before you enter a conversation about having about how to improve the game by trying to experience somewhat what it is like for a new player to join dust, maybe you should stop relying on your crutch to get by and man up. Its tiring to see what bitches most of the elite community is, crying about a few red line sniper or refusing to embrace a fair and balanced matchmaking system. But then again, being fair isn't why you play dust 514, it's because for the most part the uneven matches and the thrill of killing a player under 3m SP is rewarding because you couldn't kill anyone with regularity in other games.

I understand the issues with the NPE and I tend to take public matches easy, but when I deploy with a squad in FW all bets are off.

Good morning angry man, glad to seee you didn't sleep very well, 1st off what does proto stomping have anything to do with other games... But I know plenty of people who play other fps very very well, so either back your accusations with proof or stfu. Why do we play Dust? dunno. But the idea behind the game is to get better stuff, so when people get better stuff, they then become criminals because they use it? side note: I spend most time on dust in a BPO scout suit with MLT modules, still ** new guys I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans

Its kind of hilarious. People grind to get to elite equipment, then squad or double squad up to stomp newbs. And they do all this using aim assist. Then they claim that this is, infact skill. When you look at real life examples, like skilled trades....a skilled tradesmen is still skilled, even if he changes companies and and crews, or if he works solo. Even if you take the SnapOn ratchet out of his hand and put a generic China one, he can still employ his skills to do the job properly. Here in Dust, you take one of these "skilled" protostomping vets and remove one thing from their recipe, and they are done. If you take away their squad and force them to fight 1 vs 1 instead of 6 vs 1, they die first. If you take away their proto gear, they die right away. If you take away their aim assist, they cant do more than drive an LAV.

Yan Darn Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 346	Posted - 2014.03.15 21:02:00 - [34] - Quote But...we already know. They already know, so why would they? I run STD scout - but I'm under no illusion that my 15mil SP is the reason I can go KDR positive in 95% of matches (even proto stomps) compared to 50% when I was 4mil. Though, for non-frontline roles, I think you still need knowledge about maps, mechanics and tactics to get the most out your SP. If you rely on straight up gun-game, than clearly having more Offensive and Defensive power than the other guy gives a much more obvious advantage. One exception to this scouts and dampening - it's takes a good investment to get under ADV scanners without damps. I'm glad new scouts won't have to go through that BS. I'd only care about protobears and their padded KDRs if CCP genuinely thought SP and ISK doesn't give huge advantages. The Ghost of Bravo

This can be done by Scotty - who can divide up players based on skill (WP averages, total SP) and if you're in a squad it takes the 3 best scores. It can be divided into tiers, 1 of 5 tiers with top tier being at 24m SP and lowest tier beginning after battle academy at 3m SP. Have the good players play against the good players, have the elite square off against the elite. This not only ensures gameplay balanced, but it also improves new player experience. And if you don't improve new player experience the elite will be forced to okay each other anyways because there will be no one left.

I would be a crap player without the heavies and assaults that I rep to get the insane amounts of points that I can. A new player has all the freedom of being able to squad up with good players just as a vet, but the new players is never told about these chat channels, or the Dust community, or the fact that most players strategize over comms and such. However I did just do this recently and skilled into the HMG. Got about 1-2 proto kills with at least 40 other standard ones. Yeah I died a lot but that's kinda expected when you have no other skills anywhere else. I also started a new character as a logi, consistent 1-2k wp every match with a basic rep tool, uplinks and a combat rifle for defense. It was suprising how many kills I got with just a standard CR, and yeah I even killed a few prototype suits simply because I used cover and took them down slowly from a distance. However as a new player your goal isn't to fight protos. You are simply part of the team and it's up to you to see if you can help at all that match or not. The best way to win is by overwhelming your opponent, and even better if you can squad up with good players like us to help make sure you don't get brutally killed Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!

The one I'm talking about consist of Atiim feeling that a player in a MLT fit cannot beat a person in prototype fit as they claim and to prove so,, he wants you to experience this for yourself and post the results. That's the point I'm talking about. It's the force behind the idea. But we excluded several factors here. One, we don't have a controlled environment to test this in. Because not all prototype suits are officially prototype suits. There are some out there that skilled into prototype suits without even upping their core skills. Two, newer players are absolutely clueless on how to fight here in New Eden. Like Leadfoot10 has pointed out with his post, seasoned players have a knowledge base that newer players do not. For example. A seasoned player knows when he starts taking damage to move into cover. In fact, he's probably firing from behind cover to lessen his hitbox to receive less damage. A newer player is running and gunning. They are not patient. They are not shooting from cover. They are shooting at any mercenary they see, not considering if they should or should not fire. Cause, hell, shooting a merc sometimes just lets them know you're a free kill in X direction from their location. And when the challenge is completed, it's not like it would be that's that. The challenge is made with the expectation for the mercenary to fail. Here Leadfoot made a post acknowledging that he has done this and not one response has been made towards him. But if it was some other guy who failed at it, of course his post would be responded to. That's what I'm seeing. If there is no point, how come Lead wasn't responded to?

My challenge, is to run a completely new character for the period of 1 month, and then post your stats. Since it's relatively easy to kill "Protobears" with teamwork, this should be a cakewalk. However to simulate the NPE, you are not allowed to transfer ISK into the new character, nor are you allowed to run with a squad of players wearing PRO gear themselves, and you are not allowed to use Assault Dropships or HAVs. If your up for it, then why not eh? -HAND Already do this three times a week to improve squad coordination and improve personal abilities: we all have an alt with 0 SP spent and only use starter fits. Killing protos, yep it's possible on certain maps, it depends on what they use actually. All the Logis are pretty hard to kili, the others are manageable. All except any heavy. You cannot kill an heavy 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 even if he's 30 mt away. You want to know my stats, it really depends on the match, but usually around 20-15 >Bastard I : "Cce me ne... futt! XD"

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 5754	Posted - 2014.03.16 00:45:00 - [61] - Quote @Micheal Arck When I said "conditions" of a new player, I meant that they wouldn't have their passive/core skills to rely on. They also wouldn't have access to a vast amount of ISK, nor would they have the luxury of playing with others in a squad. Being a new player doesn't necessarily mean you are terrible. Keep in mind, this is a FPS title. It is quite possible to be a new player who has a great aim and accuracy with the rifles simply because he's played other FPS games. I hear them constantly tell new players to simply "get good" because (under their assertion) it's relatively easy to kill players in PRO gear by using tactics and outsmarting them. I'm not saying they couldn't, and I'm not saying they could. This will simply prove which side of the coin is correct. Additionally, I didn't respond to Leadfoot10 simply because I didn't have the time to do so. I'm not really sure why your under the assumption that I expect the player to fail the challenge, but if you want to assume so, go ahead. Nothing more, nothing less. @norttheantiv First off, please put some pants on. I have no desire to look at your @$$. I'm not trying to place blame onto anyone, and I am well aware of the fact that the NPE is terrible. I just want to prove which side of the coin is right with something other than anecdotal evidence.

8213 BIG BAD W0LVES Canis Eliminatus Operatives 1750	Posted - 2014.03.16 00:51:00 - [62] - Quote The hard knocks new players go through now is worse than it was back then. Just how many protobears did you see in any game before Uprising? You maybe saw a squad of them 1 in 5 matches. Now, you can see them in every match, and there are a lot more than just 6 of them. Its even worse now with the weapons and tanks that have been added to the game. New players have nothing combat with. Your best bet as a new player now is to run cheap Soma tanks. The passive skills I have on my character make even my BPOs far more superior than anything a player with under 5 million SP has. My Templar suit only costs 10k ISK and has almost Standard everything. But even my Templar SCR w/ prof. 5 is deadly as fck, especially to players with less than 400HP and a crappy AR in their hands. I've done this experiment, and it was an awful experience (granted, I did it as a Logi, then as a Scout) and it was demoralizing. The side-corp I run that is strictly for new players can't keep anyone active, because they all just give up after 2-3 weeks and go off somewhere else, because getting your a* handed to you every match is demoralizing and a waste of time, especially when no help is in sight. The lack of networking they have in the game limits who they can play with, so they just often squad with noobs. The lack of passive bonuses make them mince meat. The lack of community support and education for these new players makes them go away. Vets rather stomp a noob then help them, but at the same time blame them for every time they lose a match. Its egotistical arrogance that the top players of this game have. Because of the small playerbase, they finally feel like a big fish because the pond is so small. Remember, new players don't have main characters they can switch back too. They also don't have a corporation/alliance/social channel to draw help from either. But hey, at least they might buy Aurum to catch up, considering an Aurum Protosuit will save you about 5 months worth of work I ain't got time for dat sht!*

In the interest of being able to stomp new berries harder, I will forgo pretending to be a newberry. In the (likely) event that I change my mind, are there any restrictions on gear or spending SP? I know tanks, ISK transfers and proto squads aren't allowed, but is the limitation more on playing with people that you know? Assault ak.0 w/ScR+ScP 4LYFE Forum Warrior Level Two. (GëºGêçGëª)/

Anyone who runs with me and see's me in game knows 90% of the time I run my basic BPO's, with core skills maxed out you are deadly to new players and with skills can hold your own against ADV and proto. Said it before, half the proto out there can't fight they're way out of a paper bag in AUR and LP proto with ADV mods on the suit. The others are experienced PC players stat padding in pubs, and others are pub stompers that don't play PC. I see plenty of PC players in pubs from time to time running ADV gear and sometimes BPO's, they are just as effective and will slaughter weak proto players. Those are the good players. So yes, I take the challenge every day and hold a positive KD, kill a ton of proto and have a blast. I break proto every day in free suits, Popcorn's ready...
