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)

Now dust will be less about how many hours you've played, and more how offen you keep up by hitting the skill cap each week.

Skill boosters are now not pay to win.They are pay to hit the cap faster. So you don't have to play as many matches, so if you play enough you won't need boosters.

Right now some people allready have 18 million sp. So the game rewards you for playing it for 8 hours a day, And for people who can't keep up they fall behind and loss.

Now the casual player still gets up to 6 million sp, and the guy playing everyday who hits the cap everyweek only has 7 million awesome. Because I hit the cap usually each week.

I'm glad it's now less about how long you play dust.

Do you know the difference between SP farming and just playing daily in general to level up? But meh I'm glad I didn't put any more money into this game if I have no incentive to play more then once a week.

I am so happy that they're putting us onto a more passive form of SP gain, similar to EVE. They might need to tweak the cost for some skills, though we'll just have to see how it rolls out from here.

Based on time spent? Its camping time.

When Friendly Fire turns on, that will be a great deterrent to SP farming.
But I suppose this helps as well.

Ok so what about the players play year from now?

They will never be able to catch...hmmmmmmmmmm

That's actually a good point

Not really, it's the same question someone could ask about EVE. And, like EVE, the answer is that you will never catch up, sure, but you don't need to have 100 million SP to be competitive. A headshot from a sniper rifle is still a significant thing whether it's shot by someone maxed out or someone totally new. Just as EVE newbies can skill into a rifter or something and tackle for a fleet, providing a valuable service despite being very low in SP and unable to ever catch up, so too will a new Dust player with decent FPS skills still be an asset to a team provided he doesn't forget how to shoot people in the face.

That's actually a good point

Oh really.......... So you think when a corp goes into a game to farm they will all be shooting each other do you.

No. I mean I will be shooting at you and all like minded individuals will as well.

Maybe there should be a group of Mercs that are paid to go around stopping SP Farmers. Friendly or not. It could be, "What are you doing, were friendlies!" "Well we got paid more to stop you. Merry Christmas."

lmao.......... What makes you think me and all my team mates won't shoot back ?

And thanks for letting me know because IF you ever happen to be in a game I'm in and they do turn it on.
Guess what we'll all be doing in that game.

Maybe other Warriors. But believe me a lot of people hate SP farmers...
And I accept your challenge. You're going to lose many a suit...

Cerebrals comment was in response to "Guess what we'll be doing in that game"

Not if I'm only playing 2 or 3 hrs a week until I hit the cap in a free suit. lol.
Get a grip of yourself hot shot and cry to someone who cares.
