Separate Server for Newer Players

There should be a seperate server for players who are under 3 months (this amount is variable and can be negotiated).

The majority of advice in this game servers are geared towards more intermediate to higher level players which leaves the newer folks out. For newer players, they have to focus on lower weapons and mech progression, which isn't talked about too much. 

I think it would be a great place for them to also not get bullied if it's all new players (preventing power flexing), and help each other out since the experience for new players now is different than the experience back then.

It's a good idea for new players to play against other new players. But, you don't need to create a new server for that. Going with this threads suggestion, I think it's a better idea for them to:

  • Change matchmaking to pair those whose accounts were created less than 3 months.
  • Give the option to opt-out staying in the "New Player Matchmaking Algorithm" for those that wants to move into the regular matchmaking sooner.
  • Regular matchmaking starts after 3 months end.
  • Lockout mechs and weapons not fitting the new player criteria (i.e. uncommon green hangars or less are only allowed). This lockout is lifted when either the 3 months period ends or the player opt to start regular matchmaking.

Going this route needs less technical work than creating a whole new server and transferring players from that server once 3 months have passed.

Limiting what type of mech and weapons that can be used for new player matchmaking will deter most SP droppers. I doubt you can do much having only common and uncommon hangars.

If you create a new account after every 3 months and being happy with only playing grey and green mechs/weapons while not being able to experience better capability hangar or any new releases. 😛
