You can build up a pretty effective character with 10,000,000 skill points. How about starting everyone in the new build with 10,000,000 SP and 10,000,000 ISK? New people won't have to feel they are starting in the basement, people who have been around for a while won't have to re-grind and everyone still starts from the same place. |

I like that idea. But just for this beta. Not the public release. |

because they need the low level tech items tested as much as the proto stuff. if everyone skips T1 stuff, what happens when that 1 hit kill scrambler pistol bug gets through and starts owning Creo users? :) |

But the 10/10 setup really only lets you kit out one role -- and then, while it _is_ good it isn't everything. If you want to try new stuff you have to pick it up at the bottom like everyone else.
It is possible that someone would use their allocation to just bypass _all_ the low level stuff. But I don't think everyone would do that. There would still be low level testing as folks explored new things.

Everyone who took part in the last mass test get +1mil SP on the next build Im pretty sure sure.
As it said in the email:
"This weekend, jump into combat in DUST 514Gäó and help us find out how much our servers can take! Everyone who plays a match on Saturday 28 July between 20:00 GMT and 22:00 GMT will receive 1,000,000 ISK and 1,000,000 Skill Points to spend during the next beta period!"
Im assuming thats what it means  |

For the New Characters only, cause if the old ones get that, theres no point of getting that 10M SP and ISK!!! |

No, they gave it out this past weekend to all those that participated... if you didn't get it you need to message the devs |

I'm only suggesting this if, in the new build, all the character stats (SP, ISK, things owned that didn't come from AUR purchases, etc) get wiped. So all the characters would be new characters except they get to keep their names.
If stats are not wiped for existing characters then I agree with you.

I made good character with 2 mln SP. With 10 mln SP you can get 2 Proto suits at the beginning....so I would say "NO" lets have fun with collecting SPs  do you remember this filling when you get new modules/tanks/suits/weapon? |

lol just because you would be able to get two proto suits at beginning this way means you'll have crap for offensive and defensive skills its just a huge waste of money cause you'll still be squishy and doing minimal dmg. i like the idea of starting with this much sp and isk its not high end more like starting middle. |

I'd be happy with a free 1M unallocated SP to start with, and no isk.
Heck, I wish they wouldn't pre-fill my skills at start.. |

While I'm going to HATE losing my 30M SP, I have to agree, all tiers need testing, and that is just not done by having a bunch of suped up proto users going against the new batch of cannon fodder....ehrm, DUST players coming in from PSN Plus next weekend. |

Naanh - we all need to go thru the basics again. Some of the players been running around on the proto's to long and I think that we all need to relearn about where we started from, so then we are just down to skills. Think of how much easier it will be to just kill tanks and dropships without all the armor and sheilds. It's gonna be fun again starting at ground level and alot less frustrating. |

It should be everyone starts at zero every time with every character whenever they start. The skill sets and individuality are what makes the game fun and with the 4x SP leaving it will be even more fun. |

i hope they remove the 4x sp and isk that way you can see how it evolves instead of getting 2+mil a day. will make more of the roles stand out instead of so much cross training. |

I doubt they will this time simply because they still need to have the new vehicle mechanics tested, that is not done if players have to grind for 4 weeks to get there. |

CCP has done something similar when testing things on Sisi. Had an all Level V weekend, docked Titans and SCs for the win. Took part in one once back before some major changes. |

It would really be nice just to have the option to start a character from scratch. Now and at launch. Just give me the 500k sp and let me handle the rest.
Not everyone needs their hand held and I bet a lot of folks would rather not be forced into roles. Granted the wasted sp isn't much but still.
