better dropsuits, weapons, mods, shields, armor, skill levels, etc.

and to top it off, more experience.

essentially, imo, this is not the way you try to expand your community but hey, we all know what 'they' say about opinions.

i have no problem competing with the 'higher level' guys as far as basic game mechanics, but when they constantly have 2x as
much armor as i do, do 2x as much damage as i do and are 2x as accurate (due to skill levels purchased, not innate ability) its
nigh impossible to get any enjoyment from playing.

i really enjoy the concept of the game and am very interested in how it will be at release but, well...

i may come back again next time the stats are wiped but as it stands now its basically pure frustration. :(

I'm sorry to say but I've never encountered more then 1 or 2 UBER HIGH GODLIKE SKILL POINT character on the enemy team or mine at any moment during the games I've played. Yes they're strong and have an edge over me but they're still easily kill-able if you take the time out of your life to not blindly rush into the fray.

Yes I'm saying you're not good enough to kill them anyways even if you had a SP advantage.

I wouldn't suggest "leaving" and then "coming back" as the gear gap will only get more pronounced. Just keep at it. The best option is find a good corp and run with 4 man squads. This game requires teamwork. Some of the beta testers have been "testing" this game for close to a year and it shows. Listen to James from PFB, his explaination is spot on. The gear differential is noticeable mainly in suits, the weapon damage has been flattened so damage from Milita gear to Proto gear is minimal. Try different combinations of modules on your suits. For example, right now what weapon are you specd into? What suit did you go with? Any pts into Shields? Sharpshooter? All of the above skills add up and then when you group that with knowledge of the game, some players will be tougher to kill than others. Hang around though, it'll get easier. I felt same way back in the day. thanks for the sympathy/constructive criticism. im tempted to reply to some of the ppl that are just being dicks in here but am deciding to just let them showcase thier stupidity on their own, no need for me to point out the obvious. i think ill start a new character and dump all my initial points into suit and weapon and see if it helps. initially i tried to be more of a team asset in ways other than straight up killing...hacking, reviving, repairing, etc. but the points i put there left my dropsuit and weapon skills pretty low. especially for a starter i suppose.
