allow me to apologise for not reading the entire thread, i made it through page two.
OP, the entire premise for your argument, to me, hinges around your accusation that the knowledge gained from previous play coupled with the respec at release has provided beta testers with an insurmountable gap at both proficiency in the use of DUST 514 and gear with which to play DUST 514.
This character, an old main, has just over a million SP. I play her from time to time as i enjoy the challenge, she has no Passive SP gains.
I have another account with just over 3 million SP, that character is almost entirely specialised into HAV's.... and they are eternally broke because of my woeful implementation of that playstyle.
My Current main is actually quite the newb at around 8 million SP, and with my eclectic tastes has a build that min-maxers would laugh at, and yet I still manage to get my kills and have some fun, with multiple weapons and roles.
I rarely find it necessary to go beyond Advanced Levels even if I have specced up to proto.
My point is:
only by playing the game can you get better at it, and that by having played the game for any length of time, you become part of the metric for the differentiation of batttlefield respect portioned to each and every enemy and ally. Each suit is afforded differing regard for its abilities, as is each vehicle and weapon. The combination of these with the addition of Lifetime Skill Point Total creates the situations we encounter within each match.
Understanding such nuance is what makes a veteran of a player and not the Lifetime Skill Point Total under their belt, and further, is in fact the game created by CCP known as DUST 514.
As an aside:
others have already pointed out that it is only possible to attribute a finite amount of skill points towards a specific weapon or role, to which end higher levels of Lifetime SP Totals only allow for greater depth in playstyle variety and not in simultaneous utility.
I hope i've made some sense, as I have yet to get some sleep (off to bed after this :P), I won't be replying so say what you will, i rarely reread threads.
just remember, its not serious bizness, its just a game, and all games are just systems that we can interact with. |
