[Tier 1] Overhaul the tier!

Suggestions PvP
1

Tier 1 is failing our new players due to it being far too simplified.

 

Devs argue that T1 is meant to be very basic so that players learn the basics, but when I look at all the best players, the ones who still dominate and the ones who players look to for advice, they all have one thing in common; they started before T1 got nerfed.

 

The “basics” of this game consist of far more than just how to control the ship and which button fires. Players need to be taught a lot more than that. To that end, I propose a significant overhaul to the tier:

 

  • No weapon restrictions. Let players try out all the different weapon types.
  • All ship classes should be represented - this includes secondary roles like Jericho LRF, Fed Gunship, etc. Players should be given the chance to discover, as quickly as possible, that the same class in a different faction will have different handling, or even different abilities.
  • More passive modules - all resist types available for shield and hull, hull / shield boosts, etc. This is to encourage people to begin experimenting.
  • All T1 gear is Mk III by default. This means that as they move into T2, their older ships still have some value until their T2 roster is up and running.

While I agree with your overall statement, there are a few of your details that I think are best left to later tiers (T2 or 3+).

 

I like your idea of no weapon restrictions. This would definitely allow players more of an option to experiment with the weapon types they like.

I also agree with your statement that all ship classes be presented, so that players can begin to learn the classes they are good with/enjoy.

I do not agree that more passives should be in T1, as very few T1 ships have passive slots, and if they do, they only have 1 or 2 at the most. Maybe all the resists for hull and shield be offered, but aside from that, the modules are fine as they are.

All T1 gear should be leveled the same as any other tier. This way they understand that they don’t start out with good gear in later tiers, that they have to work to upgrade it.

 

Good suggestions overall, and I definitely agree that T1 needs an overhaul.

JasanQuinn should be nominated for his ideas.

Replace current Gaijin leadership with JasanQuinn’s clones or at least accept him into your ranks, ranks of the (god knows what).

For the JasanQuinn the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd to …

Jokes aside, he has good and valid points.

T1 is like a manual for dummies. No offense. People are not dum, but introduction guide for T1 is too simple and boring.

And because people get the wrong 1st impression, they have a feeling, that this game is too arcadish, or too basic and then, they leave.

This needs to get fixed. We need more people. We need more lemons to squeeze! I want a lemonade!

Then I woke up and I have realized, that I am not a part of Gaijin…
