I have an alt that I started on the 14th to test out the scrambler - that alt has over 10,000 wp and no longer has access to instant academy battles.

Took no longer than 3 hrs, and has a total SP of 544,000

Now that alt gets to 'fight' in battles against proto players with 12 times the SP

Please remember that CCP is operating under a very different design philosophy. Just because other games reset the stats on launch it doesn't mean CCP is obligated to do the same thing. Those other companies that do reset the stats generally do it because they felt like it or it was part of a certain norm. But CCP doesn't usually follow norms even if those norms are profitable.

Lol, it took me 6 games to graduate the academy. Best score was 50-3. I must be god or something?

They should let Newberrys do both, have to get 10000 WP or so to try new game modes with 'real' player base. Can keep doing academy battles until hit a million SP, and hard locked out of it.

That way they can test the waters, going deeper or back to the shallow part.

Also tweek the numbers to the right ammount.

I like that idea... however I still feel like hard lock should be something like 4-5 million.

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.

Did you not have passive SP accumulating from end of closed beta Jan. 13 to when you picked the game up in march?

Who suggested an SP reset? I'm suggesting an SP Tier based match system go back and read my posts.

Especially when CCP used the whole "no more resets" thing to pull people in
