And neither is it a kind of FPS that you have played on PS3, so you are both wrong.

Honestly who the **** cares which area of gaming you came from, blah blah FPS, blah blah EVE nerd. If you enjoy the game play it.

Seriously stop all the whining give constructive criticism & offer ideas, preferably good ones. On saying that don't assume any of you know better than any one else because you are ' sooo awesome ' at whatever other games you play. . .

RANT OVER, have fun

Yes, but you're not taking into account all of the instant gratification, flashing lights and loud noises that the FPS community seemingly -cannot live without-.

I'm not entirely sure what the big deal is considering that these guys have never had an FPS that gave out skill points as a reward rather than another gun. When you reach a certain level in Call of Duty you just go into the "prestige" non-sense so that'll really go to show you just how ADD the players really are when they simply -can't stop earning something- even though it's mundane and doesn't provide any benefit in the game itself.

Maybe we should just come up with a system that gives silly trinkets or something to appeal to them so they're too busy earning Callsigns (<--- CoD) to notice the MMO balancing of the game.

Again, trinkets. Stupid things that don't matter in game that they can lord over everyone like "5 kills in 5 seconds" or something ridiculous that they'll only ever attain by downing a full dropship (but misconstruing the story into some epic tale of soldiering).

Also, it's not -quite- free. There is -technically- a subscription in the form of paying for Boosters. Which isn't necessarily pay-to-win because it's not in-game gear and they've got to get money somehow for this.

500,000,000 isk for the person(s) that grief WARRIORS out of the game come release day.

Way to prove yourself a complete idiot. Cod is practically the only one that doesn't these days.

Perhaps you've never played a true MMOFPS or perhaps you've not played MAG?

CoD I'd even argue that you get more than just a new gun unless your talking prestige in which case it's pretty dumb imo. It's the same system just not as OP as the one we have in Dust.

I'll state this again since you all blatantly missed it.

What happens in 6 months when we're 6 months SP ahead of everyone?. We remove 6 months SP to, "Make it fair" ??.

It's just baffling beyond belief that people actually agree with or even think this system is a good idea/works. Do you want people playing this game or do you just want people casually logging in for a bit of sp a week?. It makes it into the same league as Angry Birds or something that you sit down and play for 5mins a day.

Oh and Cerebral Wolf, pull you head out of your arse please. If you've got nothing better to comment than troll posts, watch the door on your arse on the way out. Thank you.

I don't play with WARRIORS....when they are on my team, I leave...until I meet them in NullSec...

People in Eve Online ask the same question you have bolded and underlined (which I didn't miss, I just ignored) because it works the same way. Why? Because it doesn't affect them in any way what-so-ever. Guy has been playing two years longer than you and has all of his SP invested in Battleships. That's good, I have all of my SP invested in Heavy Assault Cruisers - which are an ingenius and almost perfect counter against Battleships.

It's not about time played - it's about what specialization you choose and how skilled you are in that specialization.

Are you saying we have to think to play this game I only joined to chestbeat and brag about my KDR to my 'clan' inbetween spwan camps. No fair.

I care, because this forum is over run with EVE idiots who think they know what they are talking about.
It's blatantly obvious to anyone who does, they don't.

The thing i like about this is that it removes the stress which CCP have metioned, will it be good or will it be bad? No one knows yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see and even if it is a complete disaster, don't worry! That's why it's called a beta.

Honestly, I think it's going to weed out who's here for the rewards and who's here for the actual game.

SP or persistent consequences brought on by taking territories/working with certain people/etc etc.

Probably best that they leave now.

3000 h on MAG. whoah great for you.... DO you understand that Dust is also an MMO as in MMORPG ? Obviously you dont.

Oh and i spend 10 years on CS 1.5 and 1.6. And then a 1000 on MAG as well.

Come back when you have pubic hair.

RPG !!!!! LMFAO

it's like the tortoise and the hare isn't it and anyone who lives in the real world knows what a load of crap that is

This was a change that was fairly easy to make and it makes things much more convenient for people who don't have time to jump in and exhaust their daily quota every day.

That said, we don't think the system is perfect as it is. As many of you point out, having a cap you can hit per week is not optimal, since you stop being rewarded from playing the game. We have been discussing better solutions, but they all require more development resources than we had available. A potential future solution would be system that features a pool of redeemable SP that fills up passively at a constant rate. You would earn points from that pool by fighting in battles. Once the pool is empty, you would have to wait for a while for it to fill up again (or earn just the tiny amount that you accrued into the pool while you were in battle).

What we put in now is by no means the final iteration on the system, so I encourage you to give feedback and keep posting. That's the way to get what you desire.

BS!!!
Years ago some friends invested in some business that went **** up a few years ago.
I invested in realestate but got LOLed at since it was at the time a low value property close to worthless.

The rabbits that invested in those fast growing businesses told me over and over how dumb I was for investing in a slow to build value venture.

But now the Tortoise property value is over one million dollars on a four acre property, .5 Million on a two acre property and also theres four houses that are all paid for with nothing due to the bank.

It pains me to see the Rabbits working at Walmart with an employee nametag....sigh.

Dumb Rabbits the race always goes to the ones who have patience.

This is either going to go P2W or they'll roll back these changes.

As others have said, Dust is not CoD. Its mechanics are not nearly refined enough for people to want to play it, simply for the sake of playing it. By having a skillpoint cap they are limiting the amount of enjoyment a major demographic can derive from the game per week. At the same time they make their boosters useless and it means nobody will pay for them.

They'll either get rid of this change or make it pay to win so you can exceed the cap.

You mean the broke no life can;t find a job, live with the fam still demographic? that's a bad way to express the flaws of the cap. " I play games way longer then anyone really should, gimme my fix"

i am 34 retired loads of mony nice house in the countryside got there fast like a HARE not a rabbit they live underground don't ya know

Honestly wish I had the time to do this but with my band getting a sponsorship - sort of difficult to find time xD

RPG !!!!! LMFAO OH I SEE YOU WANT TO BE A GIRL DON'T YOU
