1. Practice. And pay attention. Read instructions.
Each "letter" on the map in Skirmish gives your team control of a "Null Cannon" - if you're protecting the MCC, controlling it shuts it down. If you're attacking, it activates and opens fire. Null Cannons aren't directly player controlled, but more = more damage on MCC. You need to deal enough damage to destroy the MCC before it docks.
And the gun turrets CAN deal damage to the MCC, but they deal it in such small amounts that it's rarely worth the effort.
2. Shooting mechanics, in particular the glitchy aim assist (which IS present, but has problems) are an ongoing project for CCP. They know they need to work on this, and are doing so.
3. Agreed. As with other elements that need work though, beta, unfinished, subject to change (we hope).
4. I'm in New Zealand, connecting almost halfway round the world in either direction depending on server, and while I get lag, it's not generally that bad. It's more often comfortable and playable than problematic. While improvements would be nice, I don't see it as a necessary change.
5. Known issue. Resolved in the upcoming build. Will be fixed SOONGäó.
6. I've gunned down Prototype-geared enemies with Militia gear. I will balance that by saying I couldn't do so until I'd picked up a few SPs to spend on upgrades to my base stats, but I still don't have anything above level 4, and only a couple of things AT that level. It's an advantage, and it's possible it's slightly MORE of an advantage than it should be, but gear isn't everything.
7. Agreed. Tutorials definitely need to happen before the game is released properly. Many things are explained piecemeal in loading screens and menus (if you're willing to dig through and read), but having at least a basic rundown of things would be nice. |

btw i'd love to get into this game!!! :( been waiting on it for about three years now and have been wanting to have more meaning on the battlefield but not necessarily all the skill building. some but not all. lol. its too much for hardcore fps players.
You know there's passive SP gain as well, right?
It will be possible to set up an account, create several characters, then ABANDON THE GAME for six months.
When you come back, you'll have a nice shiny stack of skill points to play with and customise your characters. If you feel like it's still a bit tough and too much of a grind to get anything, ABANDON GAME AGAIN, and come back in another six months. |
