The amount of SP the vets can bring to the battlefield with a given clone is almost maxed out. Somewhere around 18.5 mil I think I'll have biotics and range precision type stuff maxed out.

New players have much more to gain from these events than vets. And many vets are taking a little vacation while things are sorted out in Iceland.

Fair enough.. why not just do that event for people with 5,000,000 sp or bellow ?

So much good could come of giving the newplayers a chance to catch up. Four of the five people who I brought into this game have quite after asking me things like "when will I be able to compete with some of the other players? after academy its a blood bath." To which I am forced to reply "well at least a month or so depending on how much you are willing to play."

We all went through it though broseph (<3 u 138!). We complain about it, but 90% of us all got proto stomped on back when Doug ugly had the most kills...at like 21k. We just played with our friends and had our fun regardless.

Other than the obvious fact that pub matches would become rife with protos until its over. But in the end if you're getting 3x sp every game i say militia living would be sufficient lol If any devs see this let us know :)

Unless they raise the skill cap on the academy on a temporary basis to cover it.

Maybe after 1.2 to showcase the improvements AND to help guys skill into the new suit. The gap is always going to be there. I've worked my tail off for this SP and I don't want some dude who showed up in April to be handed the same SP as I. New bros need more SP from the onset, like 2 mil. Passive SP needs to move to boosted level AND they need to have more 3x SP weekends or weeks. I still want access to it because I want to try out new gear or a vehicle or two. Be careful what you wish for in regards to closing out the vets.

Please make it a stepped bonus system, so that those lower down the scale in terms of sp get more than those higher up the scale. So people with under 3 million sp might get 5x bonus, whereas those above 3 million sp might only get 3x bonus. I say this as a higher sp player. Give the newbies a break please. It helps retain players and is good for the game in the long run.
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 4162	Posted - 2013.06.28 13:47:00 - [14] - Quote I'm starting to accept that the gap isn't quite as large as it seems, right now at least. I think once the playerbase is able to spread out more and continue to grow, people will slowly start falling into place. I'm at 9 million SP with probably like 3-400K of that invested in random stuff outside of my build. For the most part, my build is done. I can definitely keep focusing on my last few skills like taking AR proficiency from 3 to 5, or getting sharpshooter from 4 to 5. For now I'm just getting a few LAV skills to have a transpo, and in preparation for my armored Gallente speeder If you focus properly (which is ******* hard for some people, especially me) you can finish off most builds between 9 and 12 million SP. From their you can either sit on your SP, start going down another path or adding more branches to your build, or pretty much whatever. Once I finish out this build, I'm...not really sure....I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it

Maybe more, going from L3 to L5 grenades is almost 1 mil SP

For the Academy permanently increase WP limit to somewhere between 30-50k before introducing x3 SP events. Also give them the option to jump into open battles with the rest of us, without the need to squad with us, so they know why it is a good idea to stay in the Academy for a little while longer.

Yeah but when we got proto stomped you saw.. maybe 1-2 suits in a match. Now its like 70% of players are in proto suits. Also proto suits in chrome were 250k+... now a decent proto build is what.. 150-170k at most? So when you killed one it felt good, now you kill one and it doesn't even matter.

We just played with our friends and had our fun regardless. 90% of 4,000 .. im sure if everyone who had tried the game and quit was taken into account we'd be looking at an awful lot more than 4,000 potential new players so 3600 ppl stuck with it ... if 40,000 quit then clearly there's a problem .. they have to make the 1st 5m sp easier to get and slow it down after that, you vets still have the advantage but at least the newer players will be able to compete without having to grind by losing for 6 months 1st ... most new players will accept that they aren;t going to be the greatest ever but if you've just been stomped for the umpteenth time by a full proto squad in the umpteenth game in a row knowing full well it's going to be like this for months there are vvvv few ppl who will stick with the game especially when its on a ps3 and they have other games they can play This game right now doesn;t have a story to immerse new players into it which could make the getting stomped in public matches more bearable it is literally join game .. get stomped .. repeat til 200k sp gain has been capped .. stop playing til it resets on wednesday .. repeat en masse for months and added to this everyone even the ppl your trying to catch are still earning sp at the exact same rate ....

In house we've made a few 500k SP fits that can easily let someone with average skill stay positive in KDR if they play smart.
