Skill rewards
* Skill points are now awarded from battles based on time spent as well as warpoints earned.
* Diminishing returns for skill points earned from battles are now on a 7-day cycle that resets at downtime every Tuesday (used to reset every day at downtime)
* Skill point accrual has been rebalanced and now has a hard cap per week that corresponds to EVE Online
* Skill rewards are now also awarded at the end of each battle to players who participated but werenGÇÖt present the end of the battle (e.g. crashed/disconnected/left)

Hmmmm Don't know if that will go over well. Especially with the high cost of entry for a great many skills, and high cost to level up. Unless they lowered SP costs to be more like EVE, or raised the cap accordingly to be twice what you get in EVE in a week that won't go well at all. In EVE you can get a 1x skill to 3 in a couple hours passive training. Here 1 is ok, 2 takes some time, and depending on how you're doing 3 takes quite a bit, and then 4 takes longer. I can see them wanting it to take longer to get to level 5 though.

Look, a reason to play more on my alts. I guess I'm going to need to redistribute some of my BPO gear after we reset.

It takes almost a full clip of 300 to take down a scout. So let's hope they fixed hit detection.

I mean, hell, if they've fixed hit detection and the major bugs and stuff, I'm happy with just that, but I guess maybe the market delving from Buck got me all excited, because I'm actually really disappointed that Crusader suits, pilot suits, and other major new features aren't in this build. Also, seriously? The NDA is still in effect? You guys need to give it a rest already.

Ghural The Southern Legion 63	Posted - 2012.09.30 04:47:00 - [18] - Quote Personally I think it is a waste of time nerfing weapons before hit detection is fixed. The nerf to the HMG is going to make it useless in laggy matches.

It takes almost a full clip of 300 to take down a scout. So let's hope they fixed hit detection. The way I'm interpreting the notes right now, it would take the same number of bullets but less time because the rate of fire is higher. Although that's an uninformed interpretation, it could be that it not only takes less time but fewer bullets. a dirty Shisno wrote: CCP Cmdr Wang wrote: Made Militia items consumable, greatly reduced their ISK price, and added cheap BPO AUR variants as an alternative Is that really good, or totally defeating the purpose of making them consumable? I don't usually say this, but doesn't this dip into the "Pay To Win" category? I expect not. With the "greatly reduced" ISK price, I imagine they've made the militia equipment cost so little that the only reason people would pay AUR for a BPO is the convenience of not having to restock. Of course, that's just speculation until we log in and see how they're priced.

I already can see nulsec battles where corporation A puts up a contract for DUSTers to wight and puts up a significant collateral. Then when Corporation B takes that contract up and pays the collateral and arrives in battlefield, the corp A initiates a 'backstab-move' to scam corp B to oblivion. :D

I wonder whether this cap is going to be on a per-alt or per-account basis. So you could hit the cap with one alt on a combination of active and passive SP, but still level your other two alts with purely active SP. Given that it's a F2P game, also, I wonder whether setting account-wide limits will be effective. People might just set up multiple accounts to get around that.

Not standard infantry modules.

Don't just randomly use catchphrases you see other people using on the forum. The answer to your dumb question is "no", and it has nothing to do with entitlement. It's about the game getting underway within a reasonable amount of time.
