IMO... If you're a "Pro" and you're here complaining because you can't just blaze through committing wholesale slaughter of those in lower end gear like you did before this latest build, then you're not the "Pro" you think you are.
Hope you're not talking to OP because I can assure you of his skill. He's not worried about not being able to pwn in pro gear. He's worried new players will be discouraged when encountering those that do.
Honestly if I hadn't accumulated the SP I have now, and were new to this game, I would have walked into those 3 matches I had today with all proto gear + 2 tanks, and gotten a helluva a lot worse than 1 kdr. I might have just gotten zero, with a militia assault gun, unable to even scratch proto squads. This game is in full release in a week or so and all the new ppl who will join will

Get PWNed
Quit.
We have the luxury of 6 million and up SP. New people have no matchmaking or other mechanics to save them from pub stomping.

Yea and no one is complaining they can't slaughter with pro gear. I'm not complaining about not being able to pwn in pro gear, I use starter fits right now, OPs not complaining on his own behalf either. No one is complaining about inability to kill with proto gear. Because we can, we just don't.
However others do.
I can endure Proto pub stomping, but can new berries? |

Hmmm. and yet I come back to " Last night I went in with militia assault and I broke even or went positive in most of the matches I played, even against high end geared people that were slaughtering me before. I actually had a chance!" Ok. So perhaps I also forgot to mention that I have no SP in ASLT suits or AR.
If I can do it, I'm sure there are others out there who can too. I think the problem is more the learning curve. I believe many new players come in from FPS games where lone wolf run and gun is the nature of the beast, while here in Dust that player will usually end up as a dead trooper. Dust doesn't reward that playstyle and I don't think they want to learn another playstyle. That's their choice and I don't hold it against them.
And then play against proto hellstorm, proto PROs, proto PFBHz, or any organized squad corp, with at least 2-3 vehicles on the ground/air. I've seen plenty of guys go 40/0, 27/3, 29/3. And I can bet many of those 40 were rolling militia. |

With 48 bullets in a militia ar, those photos musta been pretty bad. I've never seen a organized corp squad do that, and every match I've been in has a corp squad in them. Any proto I know (700 hp+) would have turned around in the 2+ seconds that would take to kill them and either run or gun you down. |
