As for opening topic... Why not allow newberries to have access to both academy and normal?
If they want, they can go and play with the protos, then realise they're horribly outmatched and go back to academy, or like the challenge and play anyway.
In the meantime, raise the WP to about 100k. That would help a fair bit, I would think. |

Oh, and regarding this post.. I first played in closed beta, started about mid July. I played until late August/early September, when I had to do some placement work overseas for 6 months, and started up again in March. When I left in September, I probably had about 4m SP, and when I came back, I had 500k. By then, people had already been playing for two months, and I was, judging by SP, horribly outmatched.
For my first few days, I had a KDR of about 0.8. Then I got to about 100 deaths, and my KDR started rising, until it got to about 1.3. Unfortunately, I'm without my PS3 at the moment (and have been so for a month and a half), so when I finally get my PS3 back I'll, yet again, be horribly outmatched. But not too badly, as I'll have my passive SP from that time too.
Point is, I was able to get back into the game that quickly because I already had some experience of it, I already knew how to handle the weapons, I already knew the maps, and I was already used to the game. Newberries don't have that luxury. I can guarantee that if we see an SP reset tomorrow, the vets will have better KDRs than the newberries.
Vets have already created new players and gone on killing sprees in the academy. An SP reset is NOT a good idea. |

BETA is a test phase, all stats should have been reset for the official release of this game.
Anything that happened before the 14th of may should not count now, the game was not fully released until then.
Technically *we're* in a test phase. This is the first we've seen of Planetary Conquest. And ADS's. And scrambler rifles. And a lot of other things.
So when do you want that reset? |

Who suggested an SP reset? I'm suggesting an SP Tier based match system go back and read my posts.
Apologies, I guess I assumed you were talking about an SP reset.
I should have had the passive SP, but when I got on, it wasn't set to active. I don't know why, I was actually kinda annoyed at that.
For the record, I'm also against SP-based tiers. I'm all for the instant battle academy, with a cap of 100k WP, but with an option to join instant battle/FW aswell, just in case you get bored/want a challenge/want to learn. |

Given the numbers in this thread (10k WP for an extra 450k SP), 100k WP is a decent number. Given the weekly SP cap, anyone coming out of the academy should hit about 2mil SP by the time they get to 100k. In the meantime, to prevent boredom, add in the option to join instant battle too. That way, if they complain about playing with scrubs, they can go join the big boys there and see how hard they get stomped. |
