So this weeks numbers bear out yet another abysmal week for new guys and begs the question as o why some aspects of this game have not been addresses. I started keeping track this week of the number of Officer Cadet or higher kills in the feed this week a well. Bear in mind some people have the rank feature turned off, but you'll get the idea. I really appreciate my friend who watches me play. She does most of the tally work. The good news Scramblers only accounted for 81% of my deaths this week. That's down from almost 90% last week, but the one shot sniper kills were way up.
Since the even was going on I played a few more games.

456 Kills
578 deaths (so much for being positive k/d)
Scrambler rifle family again seems to be the FTM noob guns of choice. So much so I seen three different officer level squads running BPO militia versions in three different games.

Percent officer or higher level name appears in kill feed....73%.
Where are the new players? Also remember, some guys don't show their rank.....
Now if you add NCO ranks, you kill off another 20% of kills.

HERE IS A BIG STAT THAT MAKES NEW PLAYERS LEAVE
Number of time I died before taking three steps from a spawn point: 147!!!!!!
So why would anyone want to play a game where 25% +/- of the time you just get spawn killed.

# of times some proto guy 1v1s me and walks AWAY at less than 100 armor..
89. That's pure suit difference.
79 the number of proto suits I know of that I shot in the back then was instamelted after out playing them...

Another BIG STAT:
93% of all games ended in a red line WTF.

New players cant' advance at a meaningful rate because they are either getting ran over after the chicken **** vets leave a losing team or just get left in the dust while the vets on their team rack up all the WPs in a blowout game. This means slower xp so you can't even get anywhere on the skill chart.

So what you can draw from this, as I am only speced into Cal suits right now, is that shields are useless, the RR is garbage and honestly a new player being put in a match with 3 year vets is idiotic.

Take it as you will, but obviously the developers are either wanting the game to die out or are not competent enough to make changes to prolong it.

Hey i have idea, do you want support and coop to spec up your clone? Just one thingy. Corrosive Synergy do not play with sour loser or abusive talk persons. If you will be good we can give you good time. What do you think? "Caller of the Monolith**"
