I'm sure this idea has been brought up before and I'm sure it's been shot down for numerous reasons, but PLEASE CCP! Make a militia fitting only playlist. I don't care what you call it, I don't care if it's all skirmish, domination, and ambush combined, just make it so that Dust 514 can be fun again.
This topic comes from the great sorrow and depression that I am currently feeling for a game that I love. Running around with a group of players I've never met/played with before in a squad. All of us rocking militia gear since we're all basically new characters/players (created a new character for no apparent reason), and then coming against match after match after match of Q-synced teams where everyone of them are running complete protos.
Now I'm sure that I'm going to get hateful replies for that comment, but it's not just an entire team running protos, it's the fact that it's a firing line of protos. Even with 300 shields or 300 armor I instantly die when I spawn. There was 1 ambush match where it was 3 q-synced squads of proto users with 1 random guy using militia gear. Except for when that random died mysteriously once, the enemy team never died. 79 to 0 clones.
Maybe it was a fluke? That one really bad match that puts me off from proto-stompers? Maybe I should HTFU? Well, how can I HTFU or how is it a fluke when for the last 30 ambush matches I lost everyone of them? Not just lost all 30 matches, but lost BADLY!
I love Dust, I really do, but the way you've set up the game makes me want to drop it into a fiery pit. If proto gear is suppose to be the end content, then make it so that it isn't put up against beginners content. Make a playlist that only allows players to use suits that have militia equipment and modules and weapons. Or how about removing the ability to use proto suits vehicles, equipment, modules and weapons from every playlist except for a Proto playlist? Some PvE wouldn't hurt either, since the more and more I play games the more I find that the worst part about a game is some of the other players.
Or, if you don't want to remove content from playlists or create new playlists then why not get on that Meta level payout/reward you were promising? What good is it to get a Kill/Death spread of 50/0 with prototypes in an ambush match if you only get 150,000 isk and 2,000 SP? Instead, currently, a player that gets War points over 5,000 can get 750,000 isk and 9,000 SP in a single ambush match! Even if they're using prototype gear!
Sincerely,
Your Multi-purpose Everything User
