Ahoy!

Can we please have people who want this to post in this thread saying "yarrrrrg" or something similar to "sign up" and express they are interested in raising the weekly bonus SP? I'll probably get this thread moved to "Features and Ideas Discussion" once I get in the office, notify people who have to be notified about such things, and see if I can swing something. No promises on the outcome, but I'll do my usual poking around.

Yaaarg!

Please remove the 1000 SP per match cap after the Bonus SP is exhausted.

I worked hard for those points; give the devil his due.

Ney! No extra SP for the no lifers! Go outside or read a book when you hit the cap dammit!


The only folks that should be without a cap are the ones below 10 million SP.

I find it difficult to find the time to cap out each week anyway vov.

You know what, 'F the world' for the Cap to be taken away entirely for the rest of DUST'S days

keep the cap, just start new people with 10 mill.

even if they are complete idiots and screw the character it should only take them about 2 weeks to figure it out and they can restart their toon

making you grind to be somewhat useful in your role is idiotic

This I agree with. The SP cap was suppose to be temporary but ended up being a permanent option since CCP did not bother to ask players after the Uprising 1.5 update. People couldn't make up their minds at the time. coming from a person sitting on 42 million SP we need something to keep the NPE retention rate high. It would need to start with the SP cap being fixed. Also keep in mind not everyone can play everyday out the week so they literally are screwed over when a new SP week starts, they will miss out on the SP they did not claim last week and have no way of claiming it.

The key difference between vets and new players Like breakin stuff said is the SP spent in dropsuit upgrades as well as the vets having masted multiple individual fits. That is it. Otherwise give a new player some time to reach at least 5 million in skill points to max out armor and shields with maximizing space capacity next.

So should we implement a SP rollover system to help people who missed a week catch back up? Plausible. Remove the 1000 Sp cap and replace it with how many war points you've earned equals the amount of Sp you gain 1wp=1sp? Very Plausible, this would keep players in the game as well as help out new players who want to catch up fast.

I'm moving more towards removing the 1000 sp limiter and replace it with 1wp=1sp after you exhausted the SP cap. Removing the SP cap, increasing the SP cap, or removing the 1000sp limit after capping would indeed do the following:


The only backlash is people playing this game non stop if the SP Cap was completely removed thus increasing the gap between new and vet players alike. What are your thoughts?

That's what it is now once you hit cap 1WP=1SP up to a max of 1k, no? Raising the post-cap per map cap from 1K to how many ever WPs you get would definitely be progress in extending the cap, without "forcing" people to play more to cap out.

Great suggestions were already made for improvements over the existing implementation. On top of that, remove the worthless SP sink that is the 'basic' suits that offers no benefit but complete despair to your newer players. That or make them viable in any way.
