Aeon Amadi A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 2463	Posted - 2013.08.13 00:47:00 - [1] - Quote Sorry, but I don't really enjoy having to play this game -more- just to get SP I'll never have another opportunity to get. Without the SP Rollover system or an SP Pool all this 'event' amounted to was just playing the game twice as much throughout the week to get more SP, otherwise miss out on the opportunity to obtain it forever. It's a do or don't thing, you either play the game and hit your cap or you don't. I don't like having to play a game like it's a job and considering that the matchmaker is literally the only way to get that SP I'm outright burnt out and not sure I can even muster up the willpower to get the last 150,000 SP remaining (because, yanno, that's what the normal cap is). Sure, having the flu might have something to do with it but making it so that doubled passive SP from battle isn't an option (to discourage AFK camping no less, lmfao) it's practically forcing the players to play the game more to keep a competitive edge. Let's face the facts... When I, a person who specialized in Assault, started running Logistics just to get more WP to hit this cap - we've got issues. The only thing this event has caused me to do is absolutely loathe the game and hate playing it. Of course I could always give up and -not- hit the active cap, as some of you will inevitably say, but considering that the game has no legitimate features besides the skill/fitting system what else is there to do besides rack up on SP? So, yeah. That's my gripe. Like I said, maybe it's because I'm sick, but I absolutely hate this event and everything it stands for. I don't like playing Dust that much in it's current iteration but it's the patience of waiting for new content that keeps me going - something CCP seems quite contrary to at the moment... How's about next time we do 2x SP Cap with 4x SP Accrual, eh?
XxWarlordxX97 187. 4430	Posted - 2013.08.13 00:48:00 - [2] - Quote I just want to play one match and get 300,000 SP for it
Aeon Amadi A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 2464	Posted - 2013.08.13 00:50:00 - [3] - Quote XxWarlordxX97 wrote: I just want to play one match and get 300,000 SP for it Nah, I'm willing to be reasonable but christ this whole 6,000 - 10,000 SP a match thing is silly... It's like having to play anywhere from 30-60 matches throughout the week just to hit the cap as opposed to 20-30... Double SP from WP doesn't mean that much unless you're a hardcore Logi player or you're running with a defense marker on your face 90% of the game...
XxWarlordxX97 187. 4431	Posted - 2013.08.13 00:52:00 - [4] - Quote If you have a MD,LLAV it's easymode

Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 253	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:10:00 - [6] - Quote Game has gotten stale. Me and a corp mate moved almost exclusively to all bpo suits today. Minus an exception or two... And I have to say it was the most fun I've had with this game in a while. Got less kills, died about the same as always, made more isk. Only played 4-5 matches all morning. But honestly I'm done capping sp. I just don't care anymore. I really like this game buuuut yeah. Hope you feel better soon Aeon.

Aeon Amadi A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 2468	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:15:00 - [9] - Quote ZDub 303 wrote: This is why afk farming AFK farming doesn't benefit from double SP accrual and it's going to get fixed sooner or later. Once that option is off the table the game is going to revolve around the glorified match maker unless they introduce something new and refreshing at the same time. I'm just burn the **** out on playing the match maker over and over and over again trying to hit a silly SP cap before Wednesday or potentially lose that SP forever. Really shoddy system, imo. Would prefer 100% passive SP or SOMETHING to keep from playing this game like it's a damn job in order to keep my edge. And don't even get me started on the "THIS WEEK ONLY!" Passive Omega-Boosters, apparently a corp-mate of mine actually passed everyone up in terms of SP because he conveniently had a load of money to drop for that one-week availability.

calvin b Molon Labe. League of Infamy 262	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:18:00 - [11] - Quote They need to raise the SP awarded in game by 2000 more than current score. This might help.

Thor McStrut Reckoners 99	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:23:00 - [15] - Quote XxWarlordxX97 wrote: If you have a MD,LLAV it's easymode I have a MD and I can't even be arsed to cap out on normal weeks. The game just isn't that compelling, and I'm content to earn straight passive (boosted, cus yeah, I gave CCP money )for the most part. I did my first AFKing this weekend. Sort of. Turned out a few of us just ran around the MCC shooting and meleeing each other. Eventually I dropped out and hid in the rocks in the redline for a few games. Even AFKing, doing other stuff, I only lasted 10 games before I couldn't be bothered to even start an AFK match.
Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 485	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:30:00 - [16] - Quote I have played a lot more this week. OK, farming a lot more. Thought I'd cap both of my characters. Might get 1 done. Gimme some different ******* maps already to break up the monotony of the grind. And while I'm in the mood to make hostile demands, why is there only 1 type of Merc Pack? Put together some different packages, FFS. Drop those useless Featured Fits and make room for product we want and will buy.
Johnny Guilt Algintal Core Gallente Federation 223	Posted - 2013.08.13 01:37:00 - [17] - Quote Yeah im kinda feeling OP on this,CCP pull a rabbit out their helmet because everyone going to forget they even have a chracter on dust before thins get better.

howard sanchez spliff's channel 653	Posted - 2013.08.13 02:34:00 - [20] - Quote My wife is seriously pissed at all the extra time it took to cap out on Friday/Saturday. CCP, make this game right and I will find a way to play a lot. Keep this game as is and i will find a way to do without.

HYENAKILLER X TEAM SHINOBI 166	Posted - 2013.08.13 02:39:00 - [21] - Quote Um im out of my sp. If you dont want to play,want good gear, and you dont want to compete how do you care enough to post.

No. Cuz then you'll catch up. ... le sigh, feeling OP. The mechanics of this double SP event have been found sorely lacking. Previous events rewarded those who played with no additional work required. It was a cool way to get into better gear faster. This one requires 2x the work for 2x SP for average joe assault guy. Hardcores will grind it out, casuals will be left a little bit further behind the curve. Targeting AFKers this way is just not working. Ironically, AFKers are so apathetic they don't even notice they're AFKing more.

If you dont want to play,want good gear, and you dont want to compete how do you care enough to post. Lmfao - have you read any of my previous posts? I didn't get 2,500 likes for nothing dude. I have almost every skill even remotely related to my specialization at level 5, I've actually started to bridge into other specializations because I have no reason to invest further SP into anything else or I simply can't. I'm sorry, but some skills just aren't worth the SP. Put it to you this way... I have to drop 1,500,000 SP into Assault Rifle Fitting Optimization 5 to get a whole 3 extra PG from a prototype rifle. You know what sucks about that the most? The fact that level 2 and 4 give absolutely no benefit due to the rounding system. The only levels in that skill that are worth a damn are 1, 3 and 5. Level 1: 9.22 Level 2: 8.77 Both round off to 9, so you will see no benefit from level 2 at all. So, having to spend twice the effort to grind up an extra 190,000 (285,000 with booster) SP for absolutely no benefit from the skill as I will be leveling it up to Lvl 4, is insane. There's a significant difference between grinding SP for some cool new stuff and being toward the "end game" in which you're throwing SP at skills that barely make a difference if any at all. And this isn't even mentioning the fact that it's the same.... exact.... routine.... over... and over.... I'm physically ill and the sad part is I want to remain competitive because that's just how I am as a gamer. This is -my- game, this is my preferred game in which I want to be king (in my own world) and I've done a damn good job of keeping that edge. I am simply stating that it's bollocks having to do two-to-three times the work for twice the benefit all because Mary Poppins and the Kaleidoscope ***** decided to AFK through the entirety of the last event. The entire premise of this event's mechanics was to discourage AFK camping and instead it just made ** THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT for the players who actually play. I mean, christ - you want to know the best solution? Remove the damn MCCs entirely. Done. Over with.

Well, if you aren't having fun shooting people, then there really isn't any other point to play at this moment. Some meaningful, EVE-style incentive to go out and fight can't come soon enough. In the mean time, maybe it would be best for you to just take it easy. When playing a game starts feeling like going to work, it's time to take a break. Actually, this happened to me with EVE, twice, in five years I'm playing it. I didn't lose interest in the sense that the game got boring or bad, or that I didn't have anything left to do, I just got saturated by it. But after I few weeks, I returned, and it was fun again. Maybe some people simply switch to something else, but EVE has pretty much ruined every other MMO for me. I hope DUST some day gets to the point when it will ruin every other shooter to people.

RedRebelCork Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 325	Posted - 2013.08.13 09:15:00 - [28] - Quote Was initially excited, then played some rounds and realised it wasn't really Double SP. Haven't played since Friday.

I agree very much, I have also stopped using proto equip and run only in milita, standard and bpo stuff now with most expensive suit at 6k isk. It is much more challenging and satisfying getting kills. To make it more challenging select a weapon you have only skilled 1-2 levels in I am running a scout with little ehp and a shotgun only skilled to level 1. So much more fun getting kills than with my proto AR and heavily shielded and armored logi. I am no way near the top of the leaderboards with my scout but it is fun
Zero Notion Red Star Jr. EoN. 185	Posted - 2013.08.13 10:46:00 - [30] - Quote Personally, I like being able to achieve this much SP. I just wish it wasn't confined within a weeks span, then I wouldn't feel such pressure to cap.
