there will be no new players, it's a myth, just like C2's actual release.

Not saying they will, but leveling multiple times for 1skill, early game, is tedious.

I am a new player I have played both ss1 and the bata. as a new player i dont have a problem with the new skill point set what i do have a problem with is the fact that the AI seem a little overpowered because it takes a few more lvls in ss2 to get to the better gear. As long as the AI and missions get reworked I think it will be fine.

maybe the new players will do more mission based levelling then as is intended. If they are coming from games like WoW it should be something they are used to.

From the mouths of babes, folks.





Just because the new system takes a bit longer doesn't mean it's worse. I seem to recall having the most fun of my time playing SS(outside pvp) was doing the middle stuff. Example; on one of my chars, i got him a tech 13 capship. With another dude in an EFF, we went and tried to do the bonnet ubers...it was crazy, ridiculous, but fun. We failed and died, but I still had an awesome time!
