Why I'm still interested and excited for this game is literally beyond me. Anyways.

It seems like people are fairly split between whether or not our lifetime SP should in any way transfer over to the new game. So I was thinking, why not have an Accelerated SP pool equal to your lifetime SP at shutdown?

So if I have 70 Million SP, my first 70 Million SP in the new game will be acquired 50% faster. This gives vets a meaningful reward for all the time and money they've spent here, but requires them to play the game just like anyone else in order to get back to where they were.

Thoughts?

How about no SP bonuses because we don't need it and don't want to alienate the new playerbase?

All I want is a cosmetic thing showing I was a Dust player, and for our starter corp to be named "Project Dust Test Subject".

That way we have a way of showing that we were dust players, and get a nice little skin out of it.

THREAD SEARCH!!!!!

This same idea has been brought up and shot down like a dozen times in the last few months. It's a new game so start over, and stop crying please. You should at best expect vanity items, but don't be childish or neck beard enough to expect them to derail another game so that we can have what is an entirely unfair advantage from the start of a new game. I can tell you right now a corp full of accelerated SP would dominate any planetary conquest environment after just a single month playing let alone anything similar to a public contract.

Understand that earlier on the SP gaps are magnified if the game is similar to this or EVE. A 10 million SP character here is light years ahead of a 5 million SP. However, a 90 million SP is not that different from a 120 million toon. When the assault rifle was the only gun a 6 million SP character could dominate PCs against the 3 million crowd just by having that small an advantage.

The reality is most of us don't even want a transfer of anything that might destabilize the new game, and creating an elite class in a competitive FPS is a sure fire way to do just that.

Wait till Fanfest for all we know dust2.0 is just talk and nothing more..we're waiting to be disappointed like always

Oh I expect the worst from CCP at all times, but for some reason I can't stop hoping. All I've ever wanted is to watch this game succeed, from closed beta to even now.

Same but seeing as I've been here since 2012 idk I can't find any games fun and dust2.0 just seems like a long shot

An emblem like a five pointed star next to our name is what i want. I am not saying a cosmetic like a weapon camo or suit would not be nice also, but the emblem would be even cooler. It doesn't affect anything game play wise either.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Let it all end.

Lets begin anew.

I mean that's all fine and dandy I'm just curious about everyone who says it's the end of days for people to have an advantage, yet what happens 3-6 months in when noobs are getting crushed by people with said advantage?

Won't all that go away with better matchmaking and game types? And if so, doesn't that in turn invalidate the concern that vets would have too much of an advantage with more SP early on?

a few and/or a lot sp tiered rewards is an advantage to the vet.

they get sp even a little is bad for the noobs, add that to their skill and experience,

and you have a lot of advantage against noobs, just kick their ass with skill and experience,

so you don't bruise their ego that much.

Sorry, but there is no way bringing over the immense Dust SP gap into a new game is a good idea.

The NPE was the worst part of Dust and this is a chance to start fresh. Dust vets won't need an advantage in new game. Keep the dust vet rewards to cosmetics, or consumables.
