and Ultimately, all of your opinions are nearly invalid for one reason, you're all veterans of Dust 514, it is consistently amazing how skewed one's vision of how a new player experience can be once they are veterans, I have done this in real world dozens of times in the military and every time we grab an entirely clueless guy to run something he constantly runs into something that the guys who been running that shop for the last year the rookie missed because it wasn't mentioned and that knowledge was not passed down.
So to that end, those of you handholding though BA I highly recommend sticking with the basics, controls, UI, Tacnet (which is massively changing by the way better get prepared for that) Communications and weapon systems. Those of you not handholding would need to scrounge up testimony of real players of what they think of the modified BA. Because as it stands now I am filing most of your current complaints under greif stompers as I see no real valid reason as to why its a detrimental on new player learning outside the hack thing which is a small fraction of the entire game to be possibly learning.

Turning the Battle Academy into an 8 vs 8 Ambush only game on the same tiny, tiny map is probably the dumbest move CCP has yet made with Dust 514.
Six months from now when the profits from micro-transactions have dried up and you are all scratching your heads asking "Gee. I wonder what went wrong. Gosh. I hope the Burger Kings in Reykjavik are hiring. "....well, here you go. |

dust is a complicated game, they need time to understand what the hell is going on in a controlled setting, if they want full fights they can apparently join FW so most arguments iv seen are disarmed by that little fact alone
You seem to be out of the loop.
Check out the Feedback Board for all the hate this decision is getting. |

The law states Quote: "Whenever a mechanics change is proposed on behalf of 'new players', that change is always to the overwhelming advantage of richer, older players."
What this means is that any time a change is made for "new players" it's the older players who will benefit the most. It's a concern that has to be taken into account when making decisions. http://themittani.com/features/5-years-lex-malcanishttp://outofcake.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/malcanis-law/Read those, the second one in particular to get a good understanding of it.
That's fine and dandy. Another console FPS will come along soon enough (like, in 3 months on the PS4 LOL), and those of us who are sick of Dust 514 and CCP will flock to it.
With no new players in Dust plunketing down cash, and no point for older players with (basically) maxed out character to purchase Aurum, Dust 514 will cease. There is a very good reason you haven't heard anything about this game coming to the PS4 yet.
I find it funny when old players pat themselves on the back about their community at the expense of new players. Keep doing that and then one day you realize that there is no game for your community.
Shocker!  |
