I agree with he OP. I'd suggest that the higher your K/D, the lower your cap should be. :)

I can see that maybe it was needed in the beginning to keep the disparity among players to a minimum. But believe it or not that has already happened on a massive scale and will continue to happen. The only problem is that now IT IS PREVENTING noobs from becoming better equipped and competitive players.

If Scotty is actually doing his job like we were told, then there should not be so many battles with mixed levels of players. So with that being said there should not a problem with noobs fighting against protos, geting stomped and having a bad experience and rage quitting.

Now the only thing the weekly cap does is prevent the new player from becoming an advanced or proto player sooner and start to play with the big boys.

Maybe it's just backward thinking, but that is the way I see it.

I've knew we'd get here someday. You can't expect the game to be equal when new players are constantly starting - asking to keep it balanced between vets and noobs in a game like this is unpossible.

Not sure if this is a thread about Matchmaking or the Weekly Cap.

About matchmaking, I actually think that mixed experience levels in the same battle is NOT a bad thing. The bad thing in my honest opinion is to have 16 protostompers agains a bunch of noobs (sometimes the roster is not even filled).

THIS is absolutely wrong. My idea of matchmaking is having 2 balanced teams. This is important.

Different levels in the same match give the newer players a chance to learn from better players, both allies and enemies: Funny to say, the most traumatic deaths I experienced (which are printed in my brain) made me a better player.

About the weekly cap, I'm very convicted we should have a higher cap (let's say 240.000 instead of 190.000) until you hit... 5 millions? KDR should have nothing to do with the SP cap, that is a terrible, terrible idea... The Cap should not be removed entirely. This game actually loves us people who have a job and a life and I find it great.

Ah, to have one idea in months and to have it called terrible. :)

Actually it kind of works that way now since a cap of 190,000 is much more signifiant to someone with 10M+ SP than it is to someone with <2M. I really wish there was some data available for this game but I'd guess there is a pretty good correlation of skill points to K/D.

NO, no its not a good correlation between SP and K/D. You must realise that some people are logis and others may just not be as good, skill IS a factor, especially when you reach a certain level. A better idea would be to slow the SP gain down slightly as you have accrued so much, but then they should adjust the cap after the bonus SP you get every week.

I would be probably quitting the game if I realize that those few hours I can play when I'm back home don't give me any SP just because I have a good KDR.

We need to lose the "Cult of KDR" as it is an impediment to true objective play.

impossible....

The bonus cap; I can deal with.
The cap after the cap is complete BS.

I think this means - after the "Bonus SP" runs out - you should get SP to match your WP, but instead it is capped at 1000 by some inane and arbitrary notion that earning 1000 SP in a post cap fight is OK, but 1200 or 2000 would be game breaking and unfair to new players.

I agree, we're thankful for the massive bonus SP that you give us every week, but think the standard rate of WP=SP shouldn't be capped at 1000.

You're probably a noob who hasn't played pre-uprising. That's okay, nothing wrong with that. But before it used to be 50 SP (iirc). That was horrible! They upped it to be capped out on 1000 based off war points.

I personally think that it should be uncapped and completely based on warpoints once you hit the base cap of 190k. If you just left it at war points then people would have incentive to really work hard in a match and farm wp for SP. That would be really cool! This would also completely obliterate any AFK farmers post cap! Everyone would have to do something to get Sp!
