Already now, this game is very rough to new players. More tutorials etc will solve some of, but stil...
I started the game 0-28, not because i lost 28 straight gun fights, nope, i prolly just lost 4 or 5. The rest of my lost clones came to getting booted from the spawn screen. So i'm not saying starter fits should stay to band aid the glitches of this game, but it should illustrate how you can get broke in this game. I did not make 1 single ISK in the first 1-2h, still i lost clones. Passivly i can only make SP not ISK, without being able to afford 1 single clone i can not even camp the MCC to make some ISK.
With my first spawn i selected my shotgun loadout as the tutorial suggested, encountered an enemy, shot him once, totally scared of the sound it makes, saw him not being dead, despite just being a few feet away from me, which in other shooter normally is a kill, shot a second time, still not dead, but now i am ... of his 3rd tier AR.
My shotgun was gone, i could not use this dropsuit a 2nd time, but got booted at spawn screen anyway.
It took me a while just to figure out that i can buy militia weapons and drop suits for almost nothing, since they do not show up at the regular dropsuit or weapon category on the market place.
Since PSN friends are not DUST friends, i did not even have one single guy to ask for advice, they weren't on anyway at moment, but still...
I thought sooner or later i would run into a few guys i played with on MAG, but for the first two day i did not hear one single guy talk on the mic, and even if i changed to team channel, they could not hear me, in case i encoutered a guy i though i knew from other games.
At first all those different skills and items are totally confusing, makign you waste your starting SP and ISK on things you can not use anyway, or lets say not use effectly.
Now i'm a more experienced player and do not need those free dropsuits anymore. Still i pick the free front line fit, getting a a free militia AR, rather than the standard AR, despite it just costs 4'400 ISK.
And thats why i think the starter fit should go, but not for the new guys. Experienced players should not be able to play with totally free dropsuits, while still getting the skill boni like less recoil, more damage, more ammo etc.
So i think new players should get a rookie status for a while , being able to use those free suits. Once they have spent enough time on this game, having enough ISk, they should atleast be forced to spend a little bit, even if its just cheap militia items, maybe just keeping its role suit for free, if anything, to prevent players to go complety broke, unable to play.
Question is, when is a new player exerienced enough for
-7days after creation of char?
-20h into game?
-after 1'000'000 SP/ISK?
-after 100 deaths, to just give out 100 suits for beginners.
Just then i would support this idea, else it just another elitist pig request, like nerfing the Swarm , because it has AUTO AIM... and AUTO AIM is bad, it just helps the skillless, totally ignoring the purpose of. |
