For newbies joining PS


Ok, lets say someone buys planeside 4 months after release, where people will possibly have full certifications, so a newbie would not have as good armor weapons etc.. they would keep getting fragged so how will they manage to let newbs join? I guess they'd have to join an outfit to stay alive...
...my friend asked me this question, I thought it was pretty good

its not about how many certs you have, its how good you are with your weapons.

and you can always stay in the VR training till BR 5

But certs do give an advantage, so do implants, but they did deal with this well... still newbs (unlike me ) will have a disadvantage.

It's true, noobs probably won't be able to win a fight with a veteran. Veterans can use max suits, reinforced exosuits, and all that stuff noobs won't be able to get right away. But, that's all the more reason for them to join an outfit.

Will 10 certs stop a level 2 sniper from killing your stealth engineer? No.

Whilst newbies probably won't be able to take on a vet 1-on-1, let's not forget that vet should have more brightly coloured armour than other players, making him a more visible target in the field.

So, if you have a whole group of newbies attacking a vet, well...

If I joined the game as a newbie I would go out and try to find other newbies to kill

its not like vets have more health and armor. I think at level 20 though you should get a bonus like 10% to each and a chose of one out a few cool skills

The game will still be team oriented. You'd have to have a team to get anywhere, a team of noobs better bring some vaseline though..

I don't believe Vets will necessary have an advantage over noobs. As Nav pointed out, this is a team based game. Rarely, will you find a team of all noobs, and if it plays out similar to WWIIOL, noobs will have an opportunity to join up with assault or defending squads of veterans and make quite a difference. Depending on squad make-ups, the lesser weapons will play little role in the outcome of battles.

I know for a fact that some clans are waiting to fill key slots 'till the game comes out. You definately want to find your sniper and lead hacker IN game. You definately need to see these guys in action, noobs will definately chances as the games get more organized and large.
