I seem to have a problem. A very serious problem.

I have recently had time on my hands and some extra money. I have been grinding the Beta like there is no tomorrow and have accumulated almost 10,000,000 sp.

I've figured out enough of the system to be able to boost the proper skills for assault rifle about as high as they will go and I got me a Creodon Breach AR. I buy the best AUR items whenever I feel they will give me an edge.

So when am I going to start seeing those 20 plus kill games? The best I've done is maybe 6/4. I have the winningest combination of gear I know of, but I still feel like I am working my butt off every round of skirmish or ambush just to stay in the game and not let my team down.

Seriously, what is wrong with this game? My enemies should just fall over dead when I saunter by. But like I said it is just not stop running, pointing the reticle and clicking R1 as fast and as furiously as I can.

The other day I was in a match of ambush with a guy that went 7/2 using just the militia assault rifle. Dude even killed me twice. How is that even possible?

(On a more serious note, squad leader commands with a good team on mic are the best thing ever. Tagged a tank with the defend marker and my squad rode around WWII style for half a match raking in the SP. And our team won the skirmish. Good times, good times. When we gonna see that command dropsuit go live?)

Gear doesn't mean skill, it only helps you survive a little longer until you can get better. Good players can take militia gear and do far better than average with it. I doubt this is a real post, but for those new players who are curious, you do need real skill to do well. Even in a Sagaris or proto dropsuit. It's just easier.

Yes, this is a real post. Insofar as amount of SPGǪ was going to log on just to see where I am but dang if it isn't Monday evening. But last I looked was sitting on around 7,300,000 SP. The ten million was an exaggeration. But who doesn't exaggerate on the internet? KDR is around .37. War points maybe 36,000? Kills around 800?

Nothing in the OP is made up. I seem to be working my ass off in this Beta. Trying hard and harder still. And the best that can be said is that I have so far managed to not embarrass myself in a fair few matches.

Sure, my skill training is all over the place. Had a plan. Couldn't ever buy electronics upgrades. Decided to branch out. But I know how to fit out a dropsuit to within an inch of the max CPU PG. And enough to try to max out all the passive as well as active damage boosts for any given weapon type. Last build I came in toward the tail end and made a few different characters so never really maxed out anything. This build I decided to focus on one character. And max out everything I possibly could.

I usually don't play to win the leader boards. But sometimes I try like hell to crack the top three and haven't ever done it. Well, maybe twice. But that was more luck and a fluke of match making.

And I kind of feel let down. By all the posts I've read that have assured me that I would be winning like a king with all the sp I've managed to grind. And my RPG expectations that promise me god-like powers with maxed out stats. Just isn't happening.

So no, I am not making kittens up just to mess around on the forum for no good reason.
