Lost Apollo 81	Posted - 2015.06.30 18:01:00 - [1] - Quote I posted this in the Features and Idea Discussion but I wanted to put it here too. Remember, the numbers are just a BASE IDEA, not the end result. Here goes... I was reading a post from Spridis and he was talking about the MLT items and whether or not they are too weak for new players. He has some good points. In light of that, I came up with an idea. I am pretty sure I have brought this up before but it won't hurt to do it again, right? Brand new players have the Academy but we all know that doesn't last long. I don't think it should either. However, taking a player, who just got out of the Academy, and throwing them to the wolves (protostompers) repeatedly, is a bad idea. Nothing is more disheartening than getting spanked to the point of no return, and then spanked one more time to add insult to injury. That goes for any game, not just DUST. We all know this. But before anyone gets all bent out of shape by that statement, listen. Just hear me out. Would you rather have a game that you can face roll and win? No? I didn't think so. Would you rather have a challenge? Hell YES!!!! I have never enjoyed a match that I can win and cook a 5 course meal at the same time. So, I have reached the point now that I can tell you what I am thinking. Make a battle type that matches you with other players in your tier (explanation coming). The tier could/should be based off of your TOTAL SP. Seems legit, right? So, the tiers, 5 in all, should be as follows. Tier 1 = 0 SP - 1 million SP Tier 2 = 1 million+ - 5 million SP Tier 3 = 5 million+ - SP - 10 million SP Tier 4 = 10 million+ SP - 20 million SP Tier 5 = 20 million + The numbers here are just one man's opinion and should not be taken as absolute. I just think that this could help encourage new players or old players to return. You cannot deny my logic here ha ha ha ha ha!!! Anyway.... In the battle finder we have... Public Contracts Faction Contracts Corporation Contracts Other (I think that's what it is called) The only battles I feel would be appropriate for this type of thing would be the public contracts, possibly FW. The PC battles are in a league of their own and shouldn't be touched with this. I am looking forward to any and all ideas, even if they disagree. I want to know what everyone thinks. P.S. Sorry for the ramblings!! I am Caldari, but that does not mean I support our alliance with the Amarr..

We could use a new ranking system to put players of similar SP for more balanced matches. Clearly, the numbers need to be adjusted. As I stated this is a base idea. I hope that someone will take this type of thing in consideration. I think it could help out a bunch. I am Caldari, but that does not mean I support our alliance with the Amarr..

I understand what you mean and it can be a bit scary to divide us all up into tiers but when you think about this, logic will triumph. I think, and I am not the only one who does, that this can help in the long run. Also, it wouldn't apply to all battle types. I am Caldari, but that does not mean I support our alliance with the Amarr..
