Let noobs be noobs - lvl cap

(1/7) > >>

Hoja Lateralus:
Hi guys
Currently novice lvl cap is 1-7 which I think is incredibly low. Current 7 is tiny bit above old 2. I strongly believe that novices should be around old boundries (so say lvl12) or even higher. I remember when I was a novice I wanted to stay in novice matches longer to be sure not to screw things up for more experienced players in regular games. Since novice players can join regular lobbies anyway* I believe this will not hurt anyone and it will give players opportunity to grow. Firstly it gives high-tier noobs opportunity to polish up their skills even more and experiment a bit. Also, more experienced players may have more to teach the low-tier novice players. I think that lvl 1 - 12-15 would be a good new novice lvl cap.

*I think they have an option Novice/Not Novice lobby in matchmaker

What do you think guys? Does anybody know why novice cap is so low?

Schwalbe:
Absolutely agree.

Replaceable:
I think perhaps level is a poor indicator of skill level.
Time in game =/= good at game necessarily.

Maybe trackable achievements?


* Can hit with a hades
* Can prevent fires with chem spray
* Will accept recommended loadouts
* Understands damage system etc.
Cos that's what un novice means to me

Sprayer:
I disbelieve raising the level cap for novices would help making better matches.
Also, being in novice matches restricts loadout choices and since most people are stupid, they won't find a way to leave the novice matches in order to unrestrict themselves, which in turn would repel new players from the game.
On the low level cap thing: I'd say it's that low because it takes longer to reach lvl12 now than it did doing the 14 easy achievements that were necessary to reach lvl5.

GeoRmr:
Hides levels because lvl =|= skill

Judges new players on their lvl with novice cap.
