    What do you think about adding an additional gear bracket to normals to separate the random guy with 1 green weapon with the more geared players? Let me know below!

      Just last night I ran into a team of three with nothing weaker than epic gear cursing up a storm while targeting the rest of the lobby. They definitely should make a slot that's harder than normals but easier than high roller.

      I actually was thinking it would be how the first implementation would be. I was very disapointed it was 25-infinite. so I just stay under 25 because even if I try to gear myself to 100+ I'm not experienced enough as a player to fight 300+ gear players.

      100% on board for adding additional gear brackets. I don't mind being outplayed I just want it to be on an even playing field. I understand that the game is in early access and it's the nature of the game but as a brand new player it doesn't feel great knowing that the team that killed you and your homies had blues and purples while spamming emotes as they wiped your team.

    Game absolutely needs more brackets. The queues can handle it, and that, in my opinion, is the only real viable concern that can argue against it. Everything else is just people wanting to stomp newer or undergeared players. I've never waited more than 10 seconds for a lobby, and typically it is literally instant - so quick I can't even unqueue if I want to change something in my loadout last second.
    I will say though, that I think the gearscore you mentioned in here for the second bracket is too low. I think it has to be closer to 200 if the goal is truly to protect Timmies and give them a good time. The goal should be to protect from people kitted out in all blues/epics and allow people to use a few blue items or an item in every slot, since that is a major part of enjoying this game for people who don't have hundreds or thousands of hours - you want the dopamine of equipping a blue item or 2.

    Totally agree with the 3 thresholds of GR. Im a new player just started to rock pvp with white items on 24 GR but Im still getting crushed by players while playing above 24GR by full purple gankers…
    There should definitely be a tier for green players before letting them face purple/blue on the highest tier. Plus if you’re new you cant afford purple/blue to learn how to play with them if you just get out of 24GR gameplay loop

      Nah, I've played since Playtest 3 and the game is best it's ever been with the new pool system. It takes dozens of hours before you can genuinely enjoy entering as a solo and having to go up against almost exclusively trios. Not everyone is trying to create some kind of dynamic sandbox that they don't enjoy.

      I just bought the game and I think its absurd that as soon as I equip one green weapon, im now going up against people with 300+ gear score and lvl 100 players almost every time im not under 25 GS. Your argument about bully's running into anti bullys is purely anecdotal, how many time have you seen this happen? It was REALLY fun getting 2 shot and not knowing why for 3 days until i realized that it wasnt a skill diff i literally was only doing 15-20 damage to some of the neckbeards who go into normals with only epics on. I do agree that they should try to enhance HR, but until then there should be a green tier queue where new players can get used to combat without getting raped

    As a new D&D player, the gear requirements should have more brackets to them if they’re going to have a gear based matchmaking system. There’s no reason I’m a fresh Bard going in naked fighting players with 250+ gear score and obviously getting completely rolled. Makes trying to learn this game super hard and probably harder than EFT cause at least there a new player can get lucky and 1 tap someone or ofc land a nade. Before all you guys say skill issue, don’t get me wrong it is IM NEW but that doesn’t mean I can’t try and fight people and try to play the game. Avoiding fights doesn’t help me get better but every fight I encounter is just people heavily outgearing me leaving me with low odds of winning.

    I think another gear bracket would be good, maybe even forcing HR after it. My main problem is I have 2 choices to bring a solid kit into.
    A. Normals where i'll get a lot of pvp, most of it will be stomping but atm probably 20-40% of it is solid fairly geared people (im talking my kit is like 1-4k). It's fun not as much focus on pve and you can honestly make a lot of money in norms, like 500-1000 easily with outlier games being ~2k (this is not including player gear)
    or
    B. HR where the PVE is much scarier, half the time the lobbies are dead and so see no one so its just PVE farm simulator. And a solid amount of the pvp you do get into is try-hards grinding rank in legit 50-100k kits that will just 1-2 shot you almost no matter your gear.
    So unfortunately the most fun option seems to be shitstomping norms looking for people that are doing same for fun pvp. Instead of farming PVE until you get nuked by a full leggo grinder.
    I do like the idea someone posted make the gear bracket around 200ish and if you are above that you get forced into HR but it's free. You are already risking a solid amount of gear so its not like you are just bypassing the fee.

Is this the norm? Why is it so bad that some classes can run around in green pants and be competitive, and the rogue in top gear are about the same as a scantily clad mili. It's painful to watch.
