signing in once for 30 seconds isn't a chore. It just rewards those who can get on. There must be one part in the day where you would be able to do it

Well It's not like you have to, it's just a small bonus per day. No one is holding a gun up to you.

There's better reason to complain about Active and passive boosters before you complain about this trivial bonus.

So if you travel on the weekends then you'll miss how much by not being able to login saturday+ sunday?

Or Friday+saturday+sunday?

No one is being rude, I'm saying this is nothing but small bonus, nothing to get caught up about.

I'm only "rude" when people are being childish or stupid and you just made the list with that comment.

You're complaining that you'll (maybe) be missing out on bonus SP.

They aren't "taking" SP from you. You aren't magically entitled to that SP just because it's been announced that the extra SP is on offer for those players who can meet the requirements to earn it.

From the sound of things, you don't even need to play a match, you just have to sign in. If you have to be away from your PS3 for some reason (staying in another home, for example), you miss out on a bonus. Big deal. Next time you're on, you get that bonus. This isn't a problem. It's an EXTRA bonus on top of what you're earning. You're not LOSING anything by not getting it.

If I have a huge bag of candy and share some with my girlfriend one night, then share the remainder with both her and a couple of our friends the following night, we never "stole" candy from those friends on the night when it was just the two of us. This situation is no different, except that (hopefully) nobody here is dating their PS3 or an unfinished FPS.

No, you didn't say anything about them stealing SP.


But you still said that.

The thing is, you aren't "losing" something you've been given.

" You're doing something else that loses you that SP. "

Of course you had to quote that and ignore this:


Because the part you quoted WASN'T entirely correct and I clarified why later in my post. I said what I did there to run with the phrasing I was replying to, not because it's an accurate representation.

If a wealthy guy says he'll donate money to charity, that doesn't magically entitle every charity in the world to money from that person. If I say I'm going to give some candy to my friends when they visit, that doesn't magically mean that a friend who doesn't visit can expect me to take candy to their place when I visit them. And when CCP tell us they're giving us an additional SP reward for signing into the game daily, that doesn't mean you should get the reward without having to sign in.

Missing out on an opportunity doesn't cost you anything. Failure to earn stuff doesn't mean you lost it, because you never had it to lose. You lost the OPPORTUNITY TO EARN SP, and you lost it because of YOUR actions, not because of anything the devs did.

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.

it's 3000-6000 per day. That's not very much at all, that's like logging on, playing a match or two, and then getting off.

I'm assuming (and hoping) that this log in bonus is just temporary and that it will eventually become more of a daily challenge type thing. Like one day the challenge is "get 15 assists" and then the next day it's "get 2 double kills in a single match" and so on. They could then also add weekly and monthly challenges that would take longer but be worth more SP/items.

1) you can't "lose" something that you never had to begin with.

2) there is an unlimited amount of SP out there to be earned. go earn it.

3) people who frequent institutions or work longer hours generally are rewarded (frequent flier miles or overtime pay for example). why should it be different in video games?

4) having both active and passive boosters should add 50% to the log-in bonuses.

every single iphone game ever released uses this system.

get used to it, it's the way of the future
