Hi, when i got my account i made this character and 2 alts at the same time as i wanted the names saving, i've noticed today that my 2 alts are gaining SP at different rates. Neither of them have been used in a match yet, i've not logged into either character after creating them either.
One of them have nearly 60k SP and the other has only 50K SP. I would assume that they are all meant to gain SP over time at the same rate?...
If not, am i loosing SP on my main by having to ALTs on the account? |

The passive rate is constant, however, there is a diminishing returns on your earned SP from matches. So if you played a few games on char 1, then switched to char 2, you may find char 2 is getting the same as char one from your last game.
So for example, you start on char 1 and make 100 K SP per match, then 80, then 60, then 40 even though you do EXACTLY the same each match. If you then switch to char 2, you will probably suffer the same penalty and get 40 K or less per match . These numbers are completely made up, but there IS a diminishing returns in effect, and that may be your problem. |

No, You've missed the point of the thread, Both Character 2 and 3 have not been in a battle and are gaining SP at different rates.
Character one is this one and being used so i expect that to be different. |

If you made one character then made the others a decent bit later (12+ hours for example) you'll have a noticeable difference in SP because one character will have that 12+ hours of passive gain that the others would lack. |

The OP did write that he made them all at the same time as he wanted the names saving. |

I'm used to the players not reading the OP, but I thought the blue-posts usually did.  |

I too have this problem. After I had created two more characters, I played with one and deleted the other. After a day or two, I made another character and notice that it had more than my previous character. |

Indeed, as started in the OP all 3 characters happened to be created within minutes of each other. yet there is over a 10k SP difference in the two characters that have not been used and the gap is getting wider the longer the characters are sat there. |

I know what he said, my post still stands but if he's sure his characters are bugged he's welcome to file a petition. Passive SP gains are uniform and do not go at different speeds though. |

Do the number of characters on your account affect SP gain. I.E will I gain more SP if I just create one char, rather than 3 on my account? |

That was my initial thought and apparently its not the case,its just those characters i've created.
I'm not bothered about the SP difference, i'm just reporting it for bug hunting reasons. Should i still file a petition? |

I feel like the response to this issue is pretty horrible.
Here you have two people saying that they've observed an issue with characters earning skillpoints at a different rate on the Technical Support/Bugs section of the forums.
Then you have a GM saying they're just wrong and to file a petition.
If these forums aren't for reporting bugs or technical support, what are they for?
Secondly, the GM here has all of the information they need to either investigate the issue themselves or to forward it to someone who can investigate it. You have the character name of the accounts who are reporting the issue. I don't imagine it should take that long to look at the characters 'birthdates' and check into the veracity of the issue.
But whatever, I just work here. |

New characters choosing the background (Arbiter, Enforce, sentinel) will have different skillpoint amounts to start off with. This is probably what you're noticing! |

I was just reading this thinking the same as the previous post, I created this character first and used him, then created 2 new characters of different classes/backgrounds and noticed straight away that they had started with different SP amounts, I forget by how much but I'm sure it was around 100,000.
This isn't a problem with SP passive gain it's obviously just an attempt at balancing different classes, I'm sure there will follow a long debate on the pro's and con's of this ... |

I had also created two twinks with my main und gave them different setups. They differed by around 100.000 SP, but it has nothing to do with balancing, but with the skills the character starts with and their SP costs. |

Agreed ! That's why there is one particular class to choose no matter what you inted to use as a play style :D |

this would be my guess.
only way to test is make 3 characters with the Same Civ/background within 1-2minutes of each other.
Maybe that is what the original thread starter did. |
