When DUST goes live it NEEDS a Sp wipe, and the sp system needs to be made viable for people who A: dont play every day(roll over is a fix) and B: people who start a month or 2 into developpment(a DUST wide roll over would make it possible but not easy to catch up)
Regardless of a character wipe or not, the new players are going to get slaughtered six ways from Sunday.
Not sure why so many of you think another wipe is going to solve that. Sure it will lessen the blow, but even the first day on TQ the matches were just as brutal as ones on the last day on SiSi (actually were almost more intense to be honest). Plus we have all been playing Dust for months, so it doesn't matter what we are talking about, that kind of experience will usually always dominate players who have no idea about anything yet.
One good look at the recent Asia gameshow thing says all that needs to be said, all those players were in full proto gear and 100% maxed out skills, yet even me in a militia suit and militia weapons took them out with ease. Every one of us slaughtered those players, and they were 100% proto and maxed out skills!!
I think Dusters have become far too fond of the wipes, and likely many of you don't want to see the day come where the paths you choose are finally permanent. |

So what can they do? They can give us a head start to get enough SP that the matchmaking system can segregate us from all the new players.
If we are really expecting thousands of new players the vets will be a drop in the bucket, not an impenetrable wall of death. The new guys will be fighting each other until they get near us in SP (proportionally) and get matched with us.
Noob pub stomping problem solved.
That is a very good point I keep forgetting about that I have heard others bring up, matchmaking doing it's job and separating us from the noobs. Because you are exactly correct, they can get rid of all we have in terms of gear and SP, but our experience is still far greater than any new players.
The ideal solution would be to let us continue without a wipe, that way when CCP does get the matchmaking correctly, the noobs will only be playing against other noobs (alt characters aside). The more I think about it, the more this seems like what CCP is planning, which makes perfect sense.
Our leveled up characters will be the means for which CCP is to work on matchmaking separating players by experience/skill/SP/etc. |
