So it wasn't enough to attempt a FPS and MMO hybrid, they've now decided to throw Facebook-games into the mix. Log in every day for moar numbers, but don't miss one day because then you don't get as many numbers. Kinda reminds me of Cow Clicker TBH, but then again so does the whole AFK-farming and that playstyle seems popular so go figure ;).
Anyway, more details on how the daily activity bonus works would be nice. How is it applied? Is it just a chunk of SP you get each day you log in (how big a chunk)? Or is it somehow added to active SP?
Extra SP is always welcome, especially with the SP sinks we got in Uprising. I just don't really see why they'd add something like this, what's the point of it? Because... ...you know the complaints about being "forced" to play every day back when we had a daily cap? This sounds like it could lead to more or less the same thing -- I hope they've considered that 'cause these forums don't need more whining. No, really, we have enough of that already ;). |

You're not being forced to play everyday.
You're being rewarded, this is different from the Daily Cap. |

Yeah? I wouldn't know so I'll take your word for it -- but surely the majority of F2P games are Cow Clicker-style Facebook games anyway? ;) |

Correct, you can blame Zynga for the strategy. |

Dont have a problem with that if thats just it. Login every morning before work and then reap on the days I can play.
The screenshot showed 3k SP - if thats it then it isnt really a big thing. |

I think how compulsory this ends up feeling will depend greatly on just how big of a difference there is between the top tier and the bottom. If the difference is too severe, then the penalty for missing even one day will make players feel like they're forced to log in.
If the screenshot in the dev blog is accurate, then missing a day would mean losing ~16k skill points. That's probably low enough that missing a day isn't a disaster, but high enough that it encourages people to at least try to play each day. |

The maximum appears to be 6k SP.
Its nothing like the Daily Cap where you were missing out on +20k SP if you didn't play.
They said login, so I'm assuming all you have to do is boot up Dust everyday.
Surely you wont have a problem with that, unless you've deleted it from your system. |

I'm wondering if its like...
Wednesday log in: 3000 free WP
Thursday log in: 3,500 free WP
Friday log in: 4,000 free WP
Sat log in: 4,500 free WP
Sun log in: 5,000 free WP
etc, resetting when you skip a day. Allowing you to get 6,000 each day of the week if you don't miss at all. That's 42000 free WP which I think is what, like 25% of your normal active cap? |

42,000, vs a floor of 9,000 or 12,000 if you logged in exactly every other day and never hit any of the higher tier bonuses.
You will lose out on SP if you don't log in every day, but I think its well below a game-breaking level. I'd guess at least some people who log in just to trigger their bonus for the day will stick around for at least a match or two, so this may be a good way to player counts up without distorting the SP balance in the game too drastically. |

So long as you dont have to actually achieve it on that given day (though for most that is 1-2 matches) I am fine with it.
You would lose out on the days you forget or if you cant play at all in a week but it would only really bother the OCD players.
What I am hoping is they will have the quick news reel or something on this page as well. "News from the front" Bounties etc type news blips. |

LOL you would think that in a DEV Blog that is explaining the new features that they were adding they would have more detail into these things, but hey its like pulling teeth from CCP just to get what little bits that we do anyway. |

Rephrase that "surely nobody will have a problem with that" and include everyone on these forum in that group of people... Does it still sound probable? ;) Yeah, maybe it does... I mean, I hope so at least. |

Haha, I was going to mention that in the OP, but I figured it'd just derail the thread too much if I did ;). |

Isn't there Bonus SP, until you cap?
But, if it will boost player morale, I'd take a free BPC of my favorite suit.
You can't give away WP. It's the only true measure of a merc's experience. Not KDR, not SP total.

My problem with the SP cap is that if one week I get to play 15 hrs and another week I can only play 7 hrs I receive significantly less SP than if I play 11 hrs both weeks despite playing the same amount of time. That's why it seems like it punishes. |

I think so. From what I gather it is on top of the SP Cap and you get it by just loging on. |

Just noticed that all the numbers are actually shown in the screen shot.
Anyway, that 42 000 SP per week is actually 50% of what you get from a passive booster. That's quite a lot considering what people are paying for boosters.
Also, missing one day means you've "lost" 10500 SP. This could be an issue for some people.
The real problem and what I actually dislike about this, however, is the whole idea of adding features with the sole intention of making the game as addictive as possible. |

Agreed. I was thinking of Warframe when I first read about it. I will take it, nothing bad about it. It only adds to what we get. Takes nothing away. |

Would it have been so hard to simply add a bonus that derived from actually playing the game?
This bonus is like MCC afk camping but even further removed, just sit in your cabin on the warbarge to earn SP.
