DUST Search - Announcement:Dev Blog: Warlords 1.2 Progression System

So first off, I absolutely love how 1.2 will be handling NPE with loadout unlocking. This is an incredibly useful feature, and I think we need to eventually expand on it. Now I know we have basic loadout, and it appears that we will soon have proto basic loadout for new players to buy and try out. This is excellent news. Dust is taking its first steps into retaining new players.

Now I think we should go all the way with these loadout and have a loadout for all tiers, all classes, and all races. An advanced Minmatar Assault loadout. A proto Amarr Commando loadout. A basic Gallente Logistics loadout. Lots of loadout, so players can go "I maxed out this suit, but I want to try out a new suit. I%ll go but some loadout of my new role from the marketplace and start skilling up."

The more loadouts we have, the more newberries can try out and see what they like, and even more of them will want to stay and play. We may even see dusts numbers go positive! God, where did this enthusiasm come from?

Are we sure we want new players to think a proto basic frame is viable? They should be, if you have no need for the bonus However, basic frames currently have worse fitting stats than the other suits, making them completely pointless. Not caring about KD

Improvements to the NPE are great from what i can tell. Simpler the better, this game can be complex enough. I also like how the devblog is written in "I" form btw, reminds me that actual people are working on this. Nice follow up on the whole skin viewer feature. cheers GûæGûæGûæGûæGûæGûæ DON'T PANIC GûæGûæGûæGûæGûæGûæ

Celus Ivara DUST University Ivy League 377	Posted - 2015.06.25 14:09:00 - [41] - Quote This is a substantial upgrade to both the NPE and everyone's overall sense of progression; great work dev-team! Now that we have recommended fits in-game, now may be a good time to resurrect the idea of asking the community to recommend to CCP good fits for different SP levels. I know you tried a few times before with mixed results, but seeing this in-game should engender a lot more traction from the community. Just a thought.

KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 1	Posted - 2015.06.25 22:14:00 - [43] - Quote This is still Dust514, right? So "????, Profit!!!", means run cheap militia gear scrabbling some ISK together so you can afford to lose a few of these suits, hopefully land in the top six of a match and only then will you have a chance at profit. If you don't just die too often to OP stompers. Add that to the description and I have no problems with the change. Well, no more problems than normal, this is still Dust and you are still CCP. My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.
KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 1	Posted - 2015.06.25 22:17:00 - [44] - Quote Second issue: are we still expected to play for seven years to max the game? Cause I have some friends @ 95M+ and they seem pretty maxed out. What is the expected (non-boosted) time you are targeting for maximizing the game. Or any particular skill tree. We can do the booster math ourselves, hopefully. My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

Think of this as a certificate / progression overlay similar to the Mastery system in EVE (if you are familiar with it?)

nelo kazuma Ecce Initio RLC. RUST415 305	Posted - 2015.07.03 04:30:00 - [56] - Quote Not that I dont think this is a bad idea for new players but has major drawbacks its teaches newbies basics of setting up suits which is awesome but issue with that is that the game itself isnt balanced right now lets say we try same example with caldari suit being the most heavily needed sp race to make viable and the effectiveness of shields atm this loadout basis would mostly be shield stacking favored with shield ext reg n rechargers which isnt a bad idea but they will be killed fairly easily. While others who pick amar or gallente who dont need as much sp and will have a much easier time at basic get huge advantage especially new players to game. FOR THE STATE ^(-_-) Cal Loyalist For Life
