From what i heard CCP was trying to get away from this because people were saying it was making the week to much of a grind. |

So finally... tell me what the h... is rollover? does unused(grinded) SP move to nextweek or what? If so, it's useless. I need more SP/week to grind... My wife havn't moved out yet so there is still more time to play before I reach breakingpoint. |

Then you have 9,880,000 bonus SP saved up that you can go out and earn.
Would help those who have to deploy soon. Or end up in prison. |

It doesn't increase the amount of SP you gain, it just prevents you from missing out on any should you decide to turn your PS3 off. |

Probably will be a 3X SP event on the week after November 14th when players run home to turn on the new hottness of the PS4? |

They won't. Here's why.
Basically anytime there is a triple SP week it brings all kinds of disgruntled players back. Those players, having played the game again, sometimes "Get back into it" for a little while, and this helps to re-spike the player count. Without it, the player count goes down, and down, and down, and down.
They aren't doing triple SP out of the goodness of their hearts. They are doing it because it sells boosters, and helps retain interest. Anything they say to the contrary is purely political. These events help them a lot. |

that was mentioned briefly and shot down like what 8 ...10 ?months ago not sure has this been brought up again or am i caught in a dust repetition
as it seems everything on these forums has been argued and said in closed beta recently all i see is newer players bringing up ancient arguments..
we asked for these things so long ago and then what we got was chromosome and then uprising
good luck on your fault i feel like a dust grandma or sumthing the next generations continuing the argument lol
wonder if ccp will listen and make solid good changes for dust..or will they do something completely out there that no one saw coming that no one asked for and no one really liked..and then a year from now ill be reading these same requests by new people laughing hysterically |

My wife havn't moved out yet so there is still more time to play before I reach breakingpoint. It means that you have a permanent "bonus" SP pool to which CCP adds ~190,000 per week as per the weekly cap. You have to earn the SP from this pool actively. But... gone for a year? Then you have 9,880,000 bonus SP saved up that you can go out and earn when you get back at your leisure. The goal is to allow people to catch up with those who grind out the SP immediately on a weekly basis rather than having the SP gap between the bleeding edge and the middle of the bell curve constantly expanding. Would help those who have to deploy soon. Or end up in prison.
Thanks Rogatien and flyinpig for clearing that out. No need to rollover for me even my PS3 is in bad shape and my wife is pregnant so anytime she can hit it with hammer. or my kids will, someday, break it for good. |

the people that complain can't be bothered to cap out during a normal week. |

It's a "grind" because people want to take advantage of the ease with which you reach 1000/1500 SP after you cap. In previous events, with the 2x or 3x multiplier on WP = SP, you only needed 500 or 333 WP to reach 1000/1500 SP. Therefore people wanted to grind out as many matches as possible (usually in ambush) so they could maximize the amount of SP from playing after cap.
Anyway, with regard to the rollover I don't think they'd ever change it because of the way you could exploit boosters. If you had that one year of rollover SP saved up, you could theoretically grind it out within one or two 30d active boosters, instead of having to buy 12 months worth of boosters for the same benefit under the current SP system. |
