Getting bonus SP for a certain amount of time is great. I would just like to see how long I'll have that each day. I think I complain about it because I start out with such great SP gain and then lose it over time - with the same or more effort. So, it feels like the game is just telling me I'm getting worse when that is not the case. For myself and other SP is the measure of how well we did on a mission - when it tanks for no visible/measurable reason we get frustrated.
I'm fine when I know I'm only earning normal SP, but tell me that. Differentiate our bonus SP time with our regular SP time. Give me a dial, a meter, a bar of some sort telling me for how long and at what rate I will have the SP bonus. That way it seems like I'm not just failing the game more and more, but that I actually had a bonus with a timer. Nothing I could do other than playtime would affect it.
I know you don't like other game references in these posts, so srry, but MAG had it right. I had a timer, I knew that for the first hour of play I got a bonus. A bonus that showed up in the stats after the match and one I could watch while I was waiting to get into a match in order to max the effectiveness of my play time.
I think this should be instituted here, not because diminishing returns doesn't make sense but because FPSer's need to see a reason and be able to know why something is happening. Numbers just going down (SP) over time with the same amount of kills/wp/teamwork is just screwing with peoples minds.
Thank you. |

The circle that shows sp gain should give a representation of how much bonus it is giving us. |

It is on purpose that we don't know how SPs are calculated, what the bonus looks like and how long it applies. Just as we don't know how any WPs are an Orbital Strike. |

Having more info on what is going on with SP awards will be a very positive move for Dust. It doesn't have to reveal the math behind it or anything like that but even a pie chart to show how much of your SP gain was from which types of actions and a flag to note if the extra SP gain conditions apply or not (so we can establish a baseline for overall performance) would be very positive.
There's a whole lot of information in EVE regarding the "how's" and "why's" of things. So much so that even having spent hours reading you'll still not have covered everything (not even close). I see no reason why the Dust aspect of New Eden should be hidden behind some form of artificial shroud.

I didn't find it in my search but I support it. Plus, it needed to be said again until we receive it. |

Yeah, definitely. I didn't mean it in an "omg why didn't you find my thread" kinda way or anything, but rather that I've had some thoughts put down on it, I think I've seen other threads here and there about it too. If anything, it reminded me to throw the idea at one of the devs on IRC earlier, and we chatted (very) briefly about it and that it'd be nice to be able to see that kind of thing. |

With the new revisions to the Skill Point system in Codex I think that this request has become all the more pertinent.
CCP please provide us with clear indicators for SP earned on each character (i.e. on whichever charterer we're currently logged into).
Details on how SP is earned, when/how much it's diminished by anti-grind and when/if we hit the hard cap are all key.
How long until we hit cap for a given day would be especially important.
Cheers,

I support this.
WP's and the resulting SP we gain from them are a better measure of performsnce than KDR, but right now that base number is not available so folks will default to measuring everyone by KDR. |
