MONKEY CHEEKS The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 28	Posted - 2015.10.13 19:29:00 - [1] - Quote Life would be good.
Ghost Kaisar Fatal Absolution 13	Posted - 2015.10.13 19:46:00 - [2] - Quote If matches had meta limits, you'd find something else to complain about. Re-Retired PC Scout. I miss the old days ;_; Wanna play EVE? 30 day trial here
maybe deadcatz TRUE TEA BAGGERS Smart Deploy 1	Posted - 2015.10.13 20:31:00 - [3] - Quote If matches had meta limits you would see commandos and sentinels everywhere,because of their low total meta level. Its fine if one of the enemy is a sentinel with a assault hmg,but 5 of them? Nah. Ha! You can't kill me! I'm already dead!
Avallo Kantor 920	Posted - 2015.10.13 20:38:00 - [4] - Quote The problem will always come back around to player skill. Players should be grouped according to skill first and foremost, with other factors dividing up that skill bracket further (SP, etc) The issue we are faced with is a rather low Concurrent Player Count that makes such sorting difficult to do, and as such players blend in much more with skill brackets they should not be matched against.

Ateroith KILL-EM-QUICK Rise Of Legion. 244	Posted - 2015.10.13 21:31:00 - [7] - Quote You have no idea how long people have been taking about this. But it's good you mentioned. The more the better. "...Rule #2 - Never start a fight. Rule #3 - Never lose one either." - Lee Child

If you boost the meta level of a suit and weapon, we could still rework our suits to be effective and extremely OP with a low meta. This is why I prefer tierlocking over metalocking.

Vicious Minotaur 3	Posted - 2015.10.13 21:45:00 - [9] - Quote Matches need flammable material more than they need meta limits. Viscous Minotaur Blood is more vicious than water.

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP Evil Syndicate Alliance. 3	Posted - 2015.10.13 22:01:00 - [11] - Quote MONKEY CHEEKS wrote: Life would be good. If matches had meta limits new players would still get stomped, finding matches would take longer, payouts would suck even worse, and NPE would be even more screwed up because of new players having no idea what a meta level even is. Where was the good part again???
Shaun Iwairo Simple Minded People Pty. Ltd. 66	Posted - 2015.10.13 22:15:00 - [12] - Quote A total meta limit system is too open to abuse, and will still allow vets to run proto. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2981906#post2981906 Stat modifiers are killing new player retention.

HOWDIDHEKILLME Dying to Reload 1	Posted - 2015.10.13 22:40:00 - [15] - Quote Made a rattati suit with a meta of 28 that was better than my favorite galass that has a meta of 68. What we need is to double the playerbase.
Summa Militum Abstract Requiem 1	Posted - 2015.10.14 05:54:00 - [16] - Quote ~~I am cool with Meta-Locking~~ so long as people understand that the Meta Level for Pubs needs to be at least 52 that way people can use their APEX Dropsuits. A lot of people paid good money for those suits or they busted their * grinding to earn those Dropsuits and it would be pretty jacked up to take those out of Pubs. I am looking at the Marketplace right now and the lowest Meta Level for an unmodified APEX Suit is 31 with the highest Meta Level for an unmodified APEX suit being 52. I am editing this to state that I am not yet sure if I am cool with Meta-Locking. I need to look into this more before I can truly say if I am for or against it.
