Right now, I've joined a domination match. Just outside the redline, there are a couple of pro scout making impossible to get out of redline. They have a tank as a support. Nice teamplay, they protect the tank and the tank cover them. At the null canon, there is another bunch of proto dudes defending the point. Same here, nice team play, usual squad with heavy, logi and assault patrolling. I wont give any name or corp because i don't thing they should be ashamed of stomping us, they have a nice play, we just don't have the synergy to counter them efficiently.
So why I'm here, telling this story ? First, well, after several try, I must admit I don't have any fun in this game so I just stop playing and sit in the MCC, hoping for a better game next. Nothing to do other than check forum meanwhile.
Second, I realize now that in this game, there are fights I actually don't enjoy. Those fights when you just feel powerless. Those fights where you don't feel you participate in it. Those fights you don't have any place in it.
That point is what I think make new players leave. They don't find their place in new eden. In fights, they feel useless.
The idea I had and that I want share here is : role specified teams in public contracts. When tagging for a public contract, another screen would popup, showing roles like Logi, Assault, Heavy, etcGǪ and an assigned null canon or position (objective or outpost defense basically). You would get the objective wp bonus for completing your role.
The fact it is purely indicative won't make veteran feel oppresed in doing specific objective but new players would know what they are expected to do, they may feel less useless, as we trust them to an objective. It would also bring more synergy between solo players, making game more fun. As the squad play is guided, situations where a team is completely unorganized and stomped would be less frequent. To complete this, another thing would be needed though : a more complete starter fit panel with Frontline, and Medic as we have it now but also Heavy and Light frame so anyone could be trusted any role.
PS : on that last point, I think the latest Recon fit should have been on a light frame |

About wide starter fit panel, I just remembered the Chromosome Fits :
Arbiter, Enforcer, Sentinel and Artificier : how about bringing them back ? |

It should have been light shouldn't it.
There won't be a heart left beating... Is that fear I smell?

Matchmaking improvements are inbound. Rattati specifically mentioned separating vets from newbros.
Shoot scout with yes.

This thread isn't about vets vs newbros. It's about squad vs solo players. My idea provides both squad play introduction to new players and global direction to help synergy between solo players. |

One might say... I'm very skilled... yet I'm his apprentice... So what does that say about my mentor?

If vets can't stomp noobs in pubs, they will move to FW. Gotta pad those pubstar stats somewhere.

And ppl wonder why Dust is considered a failed game; is it because it can't attract an audience because it's broke or the game mechanics make it that attracting an audience that invests in it isn't bloody likely 
Anyone remember the exact reason why MAG was ever shutdown? It was specifically pointed out by Sony already that MAG was neither profitable nor was it a presentable and polished game to be a loss leader title. Yea, that's exactly awaits Dust when it can't attract players anymore and the current base has enough SP's and looses interest in buying BPO's.
IF you want the best reason why making Dust quite a bit more friendly to new players the easy answer is simply CCP is burning through a lot of cash and while you can say Dust has only recently become profitably CCP as a whole may not be pending on last year's figures versus this upcoming years financials and with Dust and mostly EvE the only games on shelf for CCP it looks more doom than gloom.
It's really ironically funny how even if the further success and sustaining of this game is tied to new players joining, most of the current base could care less about it. |
