Yay! More ways for newer players to get the **** kicked out of them by the sp disparity!!!!
Who wanted us to ever break 4k players again, anyways?
I'm really hoping if Legion does one thing right, they scrap the SP system and just stick to risk vs. reward on isk based gear. I somehow doubt that though, and everyone will be wondering why Legion fails after a year or two of play and the new player retention sky rockets again. Assuming SP gets reset, if they keep the current sp accumulation for Legion the game is immediately going to nosedive on new player retention when all the PC players get wrecked by the Dust players that make the transition.
Creating a dynamic matchmaking system without hundreds of thousands to millions of active players is an unrealistic goal and new players will get sick of killing drones unless pve in Legion is a full fledged stand alone thing. I would be willing to bet players are already getting sick of the Destiny pve, but Destiny doesn't have a leveling system like Eve/Dust if I'm not mistaken. I thought their system was like WoW's so once everyone reaches max level that's when the game actually begins on a competitive level. Unfortunately with Dust's sp system that will never really happen before the plug is pulled. |

*lots of words that have nothing to do with the OP* Are you aware that you HAVE to put points into these skills just to get to other skills? This would have no effect on SP disparity, as everybody is already putting SP into these skills just to move on to the next. This would actually help NPE, as it would allow them to get more effect out of the small SP pool they start with, instead of wasting a large portion of their SP on filler skills.
>New players come with all the sp sinks on their characters.
Oh okay... I didn't realize you were proposing to give all the new players more than 500k sp for all those sp sinks that are getting turned into buffs, my bad.
If you actually weren't planning this, then you should reread what I just quoted from you and reconsider your logical reasoning.
EVENTUALLY, yes new players will have all those buffs. EVENTUALLY, i'll have every skill at 5. Inb4 CCP pulls the plug on Dust.
This would do nothing but widen the gap between a new player and a vet. What I said still stands, you just didn't put points into logic. |
