Option 2 could be done, but these are the current progressions, we are actually not proposing different totals of slots per role per tier. These are the reality, i.e. the 4-6-8 for Logis etc. Can you please put this on your list and draw exclamation marks and explosion lines and little heart-shapes around it so you really do come back to it in a future patch?
I agree with these changes for now, but I'm seriously missing the normalization of the progression here. It's one of the key features that will improve Dust 514. |

I'm not home so here's the short version of my feedback:
1. Assault quadruple-buff?
2. Increased gap between pro and std assault?
3. More low slots for CalSent?
I stand to gain from all of these changes, but I don't want to. The game would be worse for it. |

Don't make the NPE worse by increasing the gap between STD and PRO. We need the guys in STD assault suits to enjoy the game. The guys in PRO will disagree, but then they'll quit the game anyway when they run out of new players to grind kdr on. |

I think eHP should have higher priority than slots since it applies to all tiers, while the extra slots are only applied to specific tiers. Also more slots lead to higher cost of fittings. I agree. The hp buff deminishes the tier progression which is exactly what the game needs. The new slot progression increases the power progression to the detriment of 98% of the players. Not me, but i take pitty in those that get will stomped.
I don't think matchmaking is ever going to improve the situation. We're too few already. |

[...] The path is clear however, this overemphasis of eHP buffing has to be countered, simply by increasing PG of plates, it is obvious and imminent. I've raised the point about tier progression a couple of times since you got into your current position, but you've never directly answered, so here's the question to shut me up:
Are new players supposed to have any chance of having fun at all when they are in a battle that one or more vets are in?
Answer this question and we can save ourselves quite some effort going forward. |

CommanderBolt wrote:The matchmaker is a good portion of the problem for sure. True. It has been the problem since open beta started. However I don't think we can actually change that part of the problem with the existing user-base. There are only that many matches that can be made when ~4000 users are distributed over 3 battleserver locations. With that side of the issue set in stone I've been looking to discuss the other side of it, with admittedly limited success so far. |
