And seriously, I understand why the new players are leaving the game and don't stay on...
Indeed, for the fun (in reality it was for the event but well...  ), 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
-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 ). It's maybe too late, but it's better than nothing ^^
Good luck on the battlefield! o/

Back in my day, new players didn't have the warbarge giving away free ISK.
Back in my day, new players most certainly did not get bonus SP from the warbarge.
They didn't have daily AUR login bonus back then, either.
They did not posess the ability to get amazing items like BPO weapons from Boxes.
Back then, new players didn't have missions to give them money, SP, AUR or Keys.
And back in my day, new players didn't have access to standard-grade suits that have the slot layout of proto suits.
See, new players have it easier today than they did back then. You simply cannot refute the above FACTS.
*conveniently ignores factors like TTK, tier disparity (specifically mods and weapons), Officer gear proliferation, proto gear proliferation, HP/Jump meta, awful match making... etc. etc. etc. that serve to buttfck new players (and veterans, for that matter)*
Yeah indeed...but you can't ignore the factors that you said at the end...
Because yes back in my day (2-3 years ago), 90% players used militia-std and adv stuff.
Back in my day, the majority of players played for the victory and didn't care about their kdr/isk.
Back in my day, ambush was fun, and it was possible to play in skirmish...
Back in my day, the jumpy mod with mass driver didn't exist...
There is many others examples to prove that the currently game play is less good and less fun for new players, and also vets.
Seriously I miss the old days, because today when I see all these gallente assaults (and it's sad, because for 80% of these players who play with it I'm sure they didn't skilled in before the buff, this old mode effect who exist since the beginning is so boring... good job CCP for the free respec by the way), all these assault shotgun, all these mass driver with myo, the spam of proto tank in pub (I saw that today, I wanted to broke my controller because one more time, 80% of these "pilots" come back directly in their redline if you shoot on him... best players ever), new officer (especially Agimus and Bon's...) and experimental stuff use in pub etc. etc. ...
The new players, and even ME! want to leave the game with all these incoherence.
Personally, I stay in DUST only for my friends and the only competitive mode, aka the planetary conquest, but now this mode is dead, and when I see the (only) strategy for the 1st PC Corp to win is simply the spam of assault shotgun/gallente/mass driver myo (where are the logi/heavy, scouts/e-war? The base of the team play ?) and camping in the roof if it's needed, it's just not normal at all.
Today the mechanics are broken, and I hope in the eventual futur of DUST, all that will disappear because, I can be patient, but now that frustrate me so a lot since 2 months, or maybe more, that... if in 3 or 4 weeks the game still be like that, I will leave DUST definitely and I will wait the next game/upgrade, because it's sadly to say, but the game give me a really bad experience now.
CCP I believe in you, but PLEASE, fix all these incoherence, really...

Dust User wrote:Hey Richard come play with us on ps4.
I bought my ps4 in December 2013, but no video games comparable to DUST, so my console take literally the dust...
I came from MAG (Massive action game) ps3, after DUST, maybe I will come back to planetside 2 (looks a little like MAG), but last time I played on it was empty to my eyes for the personalization fitting/skill etc.
Arrh, I will see what game I will buy... Today, I played 4 matchs in DUST, and it was never full, and of course still boring to dead.
OK I'm taking a break of DUST lol, good luck on the field the last mercenaries.
