I was thinking,(yes, this can be dangerous). lets put ourselves one year in the future and imagine we are 1/7th into our character development and some poor Merc buys a PS3 and decides to play DUST514, he comes on and continuously gets annihilated, how discouraging will that be? one year down and a huge mountain to climb, not only that, the BETA testers, the first ones in this game are moving ahead much faster than that poor Merc ever will, how long will it be before he/she just gives up and go's to MAG a so called dying game (and revives it) or any other same type game due to the "I can't keep up syndrome"? Will CCP skill match games? make end up moving to a pay to win in order to speed up character development? how does EVE work? can a rookie join EVE and survive? what will keep this poor Bastardio coming back for more if he can't make any kills, let alone accumulate SP? he/she will never understand or conform to the SP CAP will they? and what if they want to play with their friend that has been involved from the beginning? it may not be possible, is a 10 min death match going to suffice? I can only hope so, if not then there is a bit of a problem don't you think.
The reason I ask these questions is because this game is involved, somewhat of a task to figure out, and if a new player get's it wrong they are now set back even further, "start over?" HOLLLLY KITTEN KITTEN!!! we have had many chances to re-work our characters "9 lives so to speak" and still haven't got it right,(meaning myself) do it wrong when the game is launched KITTEN THIS!!! I give up some will probably say. Does anyone care or will these poor souls be looked at as food?
If you know for sure I appreciate the info, if you don't and have an opinion I appreciate that also, I would like to know what almost everyone thinks about the future.
Thank's

As it's a free game, in theory we should have people constantly coming into the game. With solid matchmaking and a large and varied enough playerbase, the newer players ought to be facing only a few day-1 vets each game.
One would hope so |

I understand Specialize but we all know how hard it is to do that these days, if it was only that easy it might not be so discouraging to the beginner, where and what do I specialize in, remember what you know due to wipes, the newbie will not have this privilege. But I do agree that is the way to success. |

I appreciate your responses, I am now reassured that everything and everyone will be just fine, CCP has nothing to worry about, the masses will come and stay, the game will thrive, CCP will have a hit, newbies will and do have a place to go and become amazing killers. All will be Tick-a-tee-boo. Phew, now I can rest easily.
Hopefully I don't make anymore mistakes developing my Merc.....Hopefully
end of thread for me,
thanks again for the input people.

Simple, and effective fix IMHO. Obviously have 2x, 4x, maybe 8x one day.
but we all started at the same place so shouldn't it be relative? no advantages.
