ALM1GHTY STATIUS 138	Posted - 2012.10.15 04:08:00 - [1] - Quote so I was just informed that there's a skill point cap.... So right now, I can't even catch up to people simply because they played longer than me, even if I get more SP per game and time played. This is bull$hit CCP. Change your skill point system to how it works in EVE, thanks.

The random that join in the game late should be able to grind as long as they want until they reach the max cap that the more veteran players are at. ccp has to give the new players a way to catch up to the no lifers.

The skill system has been adjusted to be more in line with EVE Online. The skill cap is in place to PREVENT the no-lifers from completely outstripping everyone else. You don't even need to play matches to receive passive skill points (1,000 of them every hour if I remember correctly). You don't need to "catch up" to the other players to be able to compete with them. ALM1GHTY STATIUS exists only to whine about things he doesn't like in the game.

More to the point removed as soon as possible.

FYI your just a delusional fan-boy Sarcasm? Me a fan boy? Not sure if serious. Re-Read what I wrote, its basically what you said. Dust has a great concept but the execution is poor, the other fps are the same old fps concepts but they are executed professionally, so things like hit detection or frame rate, are not issues.... I play dust but it gets so boring playing in 1v1 or 1v2 matches on huge maps, so I stop after maybe two games and then go back to either Planetside2 beta, or MAG if I am feeling nostalgic..... Understand now?

Ieukoplast Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 169	Posted - 2012.10.15 05:35:00 - [26] - Quote Crimson MoonV wrote: xjumpman23 wrote: I think the cap should be different for newer players so they are able to catch up and compete Yeah there needs to be a total player cap that moves up every month or week. The random that join in the game late should be able to grind as long as they want until they reach the max cap that the more veteran players are at. ccp has to give the new players a way to catch up to the no lifers. This is almost exactly what I was thinking too. Lets say the cap each week is 900k cap, so week 1 would have 900k maximum. Week 2 would have a 1.8M maximum. Week 3 would have 2.4M maximum, etc etc. All these are grand totals, so everybody would have an equal chance to reach the same SP limit if they felt the urge to grind. Another example is say I only got 400k in my first week, that would mean I could potentially earn 1.4M the next week (500k left over from previous week plus the new weekly 900k cap). The key here is that if somebody were to reach the cap 100% each week, their total SP could still be achieved/caught up if a player wanted to grind like crazy. As it is now, if I miss a week, or don't reach the max cap, I am permanently behind and will never catch up to those who keep playing and consistently reach the cap each week. This is a pretty big problem I think.

Laurent Cazaderon Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 1155	Posted - 2012.10.15 08:13:00 - [33] - Quote xjumpman23 wrote: I think the cap should be different for newer players so they are able to catch up and compete There is something you people seem to be forgetting quite fast... You're all seeing this short term : "oh god started two weeks late, i'll never be able to catch those people" . But after 2-3 month worth of play, does it matter ? Also, if you're hardcore, won't you catch up 80% of the people who never reach cap every week ? Two weeks ? That's what 1 Million SP or less for most people in a game where characters will reach hundred million SP ? Even in the case of a player starting 9 month later. When this dude will have a month and half of SP earned through battle he'll play with players of the same level, this guy will be as specialised and efficient in a specific role as anyone who started 9 month ago. The way you're thinking this FPS is wronged by all the previous FPS experience you have regarding char progression where it was a matter of days\weeks where we're now in a game that matter over month\years. The real problem at the moment is the diminishing returns that strikes too soon for hardcores and, imo, rewards casual too much. I'd rather see a week SP cap (like say 500K without booster a week) AND a per game CAP ( say 4000-5000 for a good game, those numbers are completely random and not thought). This way, hardcores would complete the cap almost every week and feel rewarded compared to casuals who would reach 60-70 % of it. And it would avoid hardcores to earn NOTHING after just a few days. My 2 ISK.
Timothy Reaper ZionTCD Legacy Rising 321	Posted - 2012.10.15 08:30:00 - [34] - Quote How well you play is determined by skill, and not the kind measured with points. Example: During the last build someone put all the skill points he earned into getting the prototype heavy suit and a heavy weapon early in the build. He later posted on the forum that militia equipment was too powerful because they kept taking out his prototype suit. Devoting all of your time to a game doesn't automatically make you an expert player, it's just means you have no life.

The Robot Devil BetaMax. 15	Posted - 2012.10.15 09:13:00 - [38] - Quote The SP cap is good and it should be completely passive. Yes I should have more SP because I started before you. No you shouldn't be able to catch up. Threads like this is why the game is going down. You all cry because you can't max everything out in one month. This game is about playing not leveling, proto gear is not much better, if you are good then you have no worries. My gun game sucks, no amount of SP or high powered weapon is going to change that. STOP CRYING. What are you going to do when you max everything? That's right you and will stop playing just like every other fps out there. If cry babies don't completely ruin the game then it should last for years not months. But, like with most things, the game will be washed out and full whiners who want everything on the first day. Go play COD and do the same thing with the same guns on the same maps for the next year until the next COD comes out with the same guns, maps, and boring story. Then do it next year and keep doing it till you have proven to all of us that you are sheep. There is no need yo reply to this post because I don't care and I won't read it again. Stop crying and play the game like it is supposed to be played or go away.

Why not just jump on another and hit the cap with that character? Im no where near hitting the cap on my second and they both have boosters.

The thing designed to hold back power leveling people ends up hurting new players attempting to catch up far more then the power levelers. CCP take note.

Something needs to be done, to allow newbies 6months after launch, the OPPORTUNITY to catch up. Maybe a roll over of SP cap would work, but I like your idea better Laurent. Instead of the SP decay going down to basically zero, why not limit the SP decay to no less than 25% of what you'd earn. Right now, say you earn 10000 SP in a match, eventually you'll earn 0 (or close to it) once you hit the cap. Maybe adjust the decay, so that once you hit the cap, you're still earning 2500 SP. It makes ppl feel like they're accomplishing something, but also gives new guys an opportunity to "no-life" the game and close the SP gap with the vets.

It addresses the problem of "no-lifers" vs ppl who maybe play 3-4x a week for 2 hours a pop. HOWEVER, it arguably hurts new guys, who are trying the game for the first time... 6 months after release. I think limiting the SP decay, is a decent compromise to both.

Take Call of Duty in example, someone can just pick up the game and dominate. Sure it might take a couple months to get use to the mechanics of the game, but once you got it, you got it. At least in this game a player can dominate in set skills and time spent.

So right now, I can't even catch up to people simply because they played longer than me, even if I get more SP per game and time played. This is bull$hit CCP. Change your skill point system to how it works in EVE, thanks. if they change it to how it works in EVE u still wont catch up....because thats how its done in EVE lol day 1 ppl will have more SPs than day 30 ppl in EVE Yea...I was thinking the same thing when I read the OP lol. In EVE, it's all about how long you've been subscribed and training skills.

Day1 players will always have an advantage thanks to passive sp, but new players won't have to be stricken with a permanent gulf in skills. Right now I struggle to keep my AV build competitive against well made gunlogis. Who's gonna want to spend weeks getting terrorised by prototype tanks before the sp they put into forge guns can actually pay dividends? All because they joined a month late. If they aren't as restricted by diminishing returns, those 100s of 1000s of sp won't seem like Everest to a new player, and dust might just seem worth playing.
