Yea sure 3x SP for everyone in instant battle academy.

If they did that you woul have people out of the academy without having enough games under their belt to know what they want to do and how to go about it.

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

You get kicked from academy by reaching 10k WP not by SP.

Yeah why not, lets make the SP gap even bigger, what is the worst that can possibly happen ?

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 ?

Stay tuned.

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

Wouldn't that be admitting that SP is broken?

Depends on the role. A logi can easily pour 18 mil into his character. Maybe more, going from L3 to L5 grenades is almost 1 mil SP

Stay tuned.

Yea sure 3x SP for everyone in instant battle academy.

Well logi's are wonder units that get to do everything, so

Regardless, a logi at around 9 to 12 million SP is probably pretty damn lethal / useful if played well.

There's no doubt, but imagine 18 mil muhhhaaaaa muahaaaaa

That is well over 9000, good sir.

That went over my head, esplain por favor

Stay tuned.

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.

As long as its for people under 5 million sp, then yeah, I'm all for it.

I have 15 million sp, and as much as I'd like another triple sp weekend, our newberries need a chance to catch up.

Yeah why not, lets make the SP gap even bigger, what is the worst that can possibly happen ?

Even I would consider playing for 3x SP. I would afk.

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.

So what your saying is you like to lie to your friends. 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.

Stay tuned.

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 ....

I won't be maxed until I get every skill, and people start saying "Oh crap! It's Severance! He runs a beast PLC or is it smg or AR or Scr or missle Hav or is it LOGI LAV. Oh gawd he can be anything can't he? "

They need to do something to get the vets back on too. And the gap can't get any worse than it is. You getting to 16 M SP isn't going to have nearly the impact as a guy going from 2 to 3.

What would you skill up? Reload speed and sprint speed?

If we were all at 10 mil or so I'd probably agree, but the gap will never have as much impact as it does right now.

There will always be an SP gap, quit whining.

As long as its for people under 5 million sp, then yeah, I'm all for it.

I have 15 million sp, and as much as I'd like another triple sp weekend, our newberries need a chance to catch up.

Would this weekend be limited by the cap?

If so, I don't see much point in it. If not, sounds good.

so what about those who are 7,8,9 million sp, seems to be a gap there compared to your 15million

would start wednesday on cap reset, i would hope.

Play more?

So it would act like a booster?

Would the booster stack with this bonus?

Just thought I'd ask.

If it stacked with boosters and acted like a booster, I'm all for it.

If it just makes you hit the cap faster, no point in it.

Thats how it worked last time. It was pretty awesome.
