Or Friday+saturday+sunday?
If you had logged in six or more days consecutively prior to that weekend, so would've picked up 6,000 SP on Friday, I think you would lose:
6,000 SP Fri
6,000 SP Sat
6,000 SP Sun
3,000 SP Mon if you log in
2,500 SP Tue if you log in
2,000 SP Wed if you log in
1,500 SP Thurs if you log in
1,000 SP Friday if you log in
500 SP Saturday if you log in
Grand total: 28,500 SP lost from missing three days. This is on the assumption that you immediately get reset to the base 3,000 SP if you miss a day. If the reset is more gradual (e.g. you miss a day, you get pushed down to 5,500 SP) then you would lose a bit less SP on Monday onwards.
Can't say I'm too happy with the daily active bonus. It's a real kick in the teeth if you have to be away from home for any reason, like normal people have to be. I suppose they thought they had to give bitter vets a reason to log in after 1.4 makes AFKing harder. |

Unless you hit your cap, in which case it will take you at least 28 matches (without booster). That's a week of games, pretty much. Quite a big deal.
And it's not like the 'bonus' is a one time thing. Suppose that, every other weekend, you can't log in - hardly an unusual situation. In six months you'll have 370,000 less SP than someone who logs in every day. That's equivalent to 370 post-cap matches.
Just another way CCP screws over casual players in favour of uber-grinders. |

They always talk about balance, and the 'long game' but this seems designed for the opposite! What are they trying to acheive?
It's not a coincidence they're bringing this in at the same time as (hopefully) putting an end to AFK. For the sake of the player count they want to keep the non-playing players logging in  |

It's only "screwing over" a casual player if that casual player is HITTING THEIR CAP EVERY WEEK. So... how "casual" are we talking here? Because that doesn't sound casual at all.
Fair point! Though I would say hitting the cap every week does not make you hardcore; some people hit the cap in a day. Maybe I should have said it screws over semi-serious players in favour of uber-grinders. |
