Two weeks should suffice. An entire month would just skew things in the favor of those "no-lifers" & "try-hards". That would be what? Around 13 MILLION in active SP for the month? That's a tad absurd don't you think? Granted, I don't want to limit NPE, but to those who have been playing for some time... That's 5 new prototype suits and a prototype weapon. In a month.
But 750K as a hard cap, per week, with three boosters sounds fine. That would be 3 million active SP per month. And if someone wants to put in that effort, that's fine. At least at that rate, it's not as simple as "HAAHAH I'm getting new proto gear for days" and more alon the lines of, "I'll have to put a little extra effort if I want that proto suit or proficiency 5. Or I can split it this month and finish the other in another week or so."
Granted, I only have 30 million SP, I have used boosters, especially on events like the million clone count challenge. I still take a few days to actually cap out. And that's on weeks where I don't have to travel for work.
If there was something like an SP rollover, we can play at our own pace without feeling like we are left behind.
Since, I've had this account for a year and half almost, but only been active for the past 7 months.

The reason to offer this for the whole month is because many players purchased 30-day boosters on the expectation that this is how the game would work. Covering the month under this method ensures those players get what they paid for. My personal view is this will really only help newer players anyways. The difference between 40 million SP and 60 million SP is minimal, if you invested your skill points wisely for the first 40 mil.
I guess I didn't factor in those who bought 30-day boosters.
Very well.
I mean, I don't mind the skill point accrual, but it just seems odd.
I would very much like to see some data sheets at the end of the month covering SP growth and who benefited most -- those under 20 mil SP, or the veterans with 40 million SP and above.
I haven't logged in for about a week due to travel, but I want to see how the SP system is currently working. |
