Why make us specialize at all? With 8 million sp there is no reason why I shouldn't have a proto tank, dropship, heavy, and logi. I mean it's been hours since the new build came out. I should be at or close to end game by now.
To be fair, this change is probably going to make it even harder for new players. I have 8 million SP too but I went for broader specializations with Vehicles, AV, and Assault. Now I will have to just choose one. Annoying but I can survive.
The problem is that it will take a new player almost two months to be able to say "I am now a Logistics" or even that they become anything other than a frame IF they rush for it. So with out 8 million skill point lead we are pretty much unassailable. Before it would be "I have four million skill points. I am a decent logstics" and "I have twelve million skills points. I am a decent logistics, driver, and assault." Now it will be "I have 4 million skill points; I am almost something" and "I have 12 million skills points; I am nearly prototype something."
Be well. |

You can start a new character in EVE and within a week be ready for squad PvP as a noobie tackle. You will die, a lot, but you fulfill a very important role. In like a month you can be in a Drake and be harder to kill and still be a nasty tackler. Hell, start a Caldari and in less than 30 hours you can be able to fly all of the Race's frigates as it only takes like 9 hours to get X Frigate to 3.
I am curious if DUST has more sinks than EVE. I wonder what would take longer: getting into a Raven Battleship with decent skills to run level 4 missions or getting into a Caldari Assault Suit with comparable skills. IIRC, I was able to get into Raven in about 4-6 months. <3 CNR.
Be well. |
