i think a mentor system within Planetside 2 would really help integrate new players by matching them up with original PS vets (or those who have kept up to date on all PS2 mechanics).
New players would be rewarded for following their mentor, with XP rewards when objectives are completed together.
The XP given should be proportional to how close they are together,100% when within 10m, 50% within 20m etc.
Originally, I anticipated rewarding the mentor with small amounts of CEP, but from what I understand, Command Ranks are unlocked with certs...
so I think the only option is to also reward the mentor with XP.
This would be a separate system to the squad/platoon/outfit, and would stack with squad bonus XP.
There would be a minimum BR requirement for the Mentor, and a maximum BR for the protégé.
Exploiting it by having your mate as a mentor just for the bonus XP would be forbidden, and the way I can a method around this is by matching a mentor with his protégé based upon a number of criteria, such as physical location (no language barrier) and current certification choices.
Thoughts?
