Re: The Issue of the 10%-20% Power Differentiation


I personally disagree with power advancement in games like Planetside.

I personally would rather see that specialising lets you have more options when you're loading up. For example:
A player chooses to specialise in a career of sniping and long range combat.
They progress over time in this long range tree and each section of the tree they unlock they get an additional item (Think Battlefield 2142's weapon unlock system). Also since they're in an outfit that is also specialised in long range combat they also get access to extra equipment, that they wouldn't have if they were solo or were in an outfit that were specialised for say aircraft.

I personally don't mind too much if they add stat differences but as long as they remain small enough that the difference isn't too big and large enough that a player feels like they have progressed each time they get to their next Battle Rank I will be fine with it.

I just hope that no matter which way SOE decides to go that it remains fun for both old players and new players alike.
