The "new skill system" in C2 needs to be rolled back to what it was in C1.

This new system will do nothing but drive new players away. Its putting 15 nails in a 14 nail coffin with 10 nails already in it. GRINDING IS NOT FUN. (So what if a few experienced players can toss 2-5B to a new alt and level it quickly... it gets the job done with as little hassle as possible. And new players can advance without feeling they're being the brunt end of a malicious joke.)

Seriously Jeff you need a better business plan.

And you need to learn to not make a post like this when there already have been a large discussion about this in another topic, and all the arguments you have come up with here have been shot down by the people who have a proper say in this. Whom by the way listens if you come up with constructive criticism and feedback that includes suggestions to what you think is a better idea.

Hey, you're just a few months late out

I have to admit that I dislike the new skill system, the main arguement for it was so that players would actually use all techs of gear instead of jumping right to the best. When I started playing SS I had no money to afford anything nor did I get free cash from people, I got all my stuff myself and I've used stuff of all tech levels due to not being able to afford higher techs, but meh there is no point in argueing now

The levels of a lot of AI have been increased, so it should be a lot easier to level now compared to during the beta.

I think the new skill system reflects the importance of the skill more, after grinding in pretty much... ANY other game, grinding in SS isn't as bad lol. Though you do die more if not careful.

if anyone see's any increased ai levels post here.

bigger greens: 1570 still (no change)

Parsleys are supposed to be in the 500 range. Dunno if it was a bug or not, but I found some in the 250-300 area. The same area they were in c1.

They're working on lower level ai's first, buzz, because those are the ai's you come across first. I don't know about you, but I didn't go from leveling on goldenboys to ice picks and GBships and then down to cleft thorns and basils.

good point.. just hoping to see something to level off soon (tm)
