Post eliminate skillpoints and levels, before the steam release
as posted in reply to the "new server" thread:

eliminate skillpoints, rebalance skill costs to compensate.

the levelling system can be changed to base a player's level on the level of the strongest opponent they have defeated

grinding for levels isn't difficult, just tedious and boring. if a player can earn enough credits to pay the training fee and complete whatever mission/task is neccesary to train that skill, they should be able to do so without having to grind for levels.

if anyone has a better suggestion for how to open the game up for new players without penalising veteran players, i'd like to hear it.

Without basically throwing the whole game out the window and starting from scratch, there is no "easy" solution.

Sup DB, we have essentially done this for class skills. Coming probably in a week or two.

I would like to think the line "excuse me but can I get a shitpost?" is fairly polite.

there seems to have been alot of interesting changes lately, especially the aug tweaking change. if i have time i'll re-sub and check out the changes sometime in the next month or two.
