DUST Search - Today I played as a new player...

Indeed, for the fun (in reality it was for the event but well... Lol

), I created a secondary account on my PSN account, so only militia stuff and only 500k SP.

Then, I decided to touch nothing at my fitting and directly I went to search a match, and OMG... I'm not the best player, but with 3 years experience, I know what I have to do and I think I'm enough good in 1vs1 to make some resistance but NO!

Impossible to do something against these f*cking proto suits! particularly against gk.0 assault (and even more if they play with the breach rifle!!!). The only way for me to kill these guy was to waiting my teammate and looking when they are pushing the ennemy team, or attack on the back while he focus to another person to have a (little) chance to kill these proto man.

In general, I didn't have really problems to kills Milicia and standart suits. Advanced fits was more hard indeed, but not impossible at all... But against the protos suits, in 1vs1 it's just impossible to win the duel (or he was very very bad). So you can say: "it's normal, he has more SP/time/experience in the game than a new player", and I agree with that, or "you just need to play in teamplay", ok, but when it's a full proto squad, what do you say?

Today I just realize that I also participate at this problem, because in my main I play only in proto too (I'm firstly a PC player), and I prefer not imagine the feeling of a real new player with 0 experience when he start the game...

So to be constructive what are the problem I have seen when you play as a new player?

Hum... first the matchmaking of course, one time I'm in the good side so I'm lucky, and an other time I'm not in the good side and my team is just not enough good to make any resistance against the ennemy team, so it's a... slaughter Lol

-proto suits/weapon, and especially proto squad

-gallente assault DPS (even in std weapon, if the man has the skill at level 5, the DPS is ridiculously high), tactical weapon (srambler too...)

CCP, I hope in Legion/DUST 2.0 you will create a special mode for the new player, with only militia stuff, because it's fun the milicia in reality. I really enjoyed to fight against others militia people, but when a new player fight against proto... hum hum and I'm a little frustrated because I'm pretty sure some of these people are worthless in PC, or with a milicia stuff. Protostomp is too easy indeed...

Ah and, very good idea for the uplink integrated to the prefit milicia, it's cool, but please, make a tuto for new players because I'm sure they don't really know they have uplink (above all in domination lol) in their fits.

What do you think about all that? I would like to know your advise, for my part, my new resolution 2016 is to stop the public proto on my main character (in FW/PC of course I continue of course Lol

). It's maybe too late, but it's better than nothing ^^

Good luck on the battlefield! o/

A true inexperienced new player experience is just awful.

A true inexperienced new player experience is just awful. It probably feels impossible. Indeed! That was me, 5 or 6 months ago! I persisted and I'm ashamed to say I've learnt stomping from the best, from being on the wrong end of it, and learnt to stomp back, so now I'm doing it! But I still remember what it was like...

Because you can pack tons of hp in an adv sujt with a good gun....dont forget prof and warbage bonuses. The problem is getting out of mlt suits...they are worthless. If you have a std or adv suit, then you stand a much better chance of facing proto suits. Officer suits like the rattatis are another story entirely. What garbage! MLT suits are fine, they just need to have some augmentation to make them a bit better. Yes, the proto stompers are going to totally trounce you, but you aren't going to come up against proto stompers all the time. And MLT suits teach you to live or die by your skills not because your suit is doing it for you. I use almost exclusively MLT BPO fits. Yes, I die a lot, but I manage to get a reasonable number of kills and kills assists for myself and have learnt a lot about how to fight in a suit that doesn't help you much. There are a lot of people who seem to think that all they have to do is find the "right suit" and everything will be fine. There is no "right suit". Learn to fight. Any suit can be the "right suit" if you learn how to use it properly.
