A capsuleer gets about 1.4 million SP per month. If a really active mercenary can earn 2 million then I think that's pretty good.

It'd be interesting to see if CCP could switch EVE over to a similar system.

I was wondering about the SP cap numbers??
I noticed we get 1K SP per hour so thats 168 hours per week.
So passive SP is 168K per week??

But then my question :
Given 500k SP per week is it active and then the 168K SP is extra??
OR.
168K passive and 332K active??

My SP is around 2M and I am getting on Tuesday 220 SP for a ten kills and 1200 WP game.

So if?? its capped at 332K SP ACTIVE per week then thats really LOW!!

Just wondering what results others are getting??

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

But we have been heard. QQing FTW.

The following topics were discussed by the dev team this week regarding gameplay issues in the beta:

Lack of AURUM items, SP boosters and the SP cap
Update: The dev team is working on adding more AURUM related items and features. The dev team is also planning to change the SP cap to a daily cap.

I like the weekly cap. As someone who can't play everday it benefits me. It also benefits everyone who has a full time job and a family (or social life). That currently seems to be CCPs demographic.

Name me another FPS game that penalises you for wanting to play and rank up your character, or skills, or get shinier toys.

This whole, 7 yr thing, stupidly long skill tree with no option to respec and even dumber SP cap will really make this game popular.

Er, no, it will not.

SEVEN YEARS.............. lol.

Yeah I'll play this.................. In seven years, after my passive has given me all the points to rank everything up.

So I suggest everyone create their characters on release, then come back in 7 yrs.

This community is full of 14y/o unemployed kids, who came from Halo/Mag/whatever.
So sad they are "beta testers".
I cba to explain fundamental stuff.

Too many "break the cap" cry babies that are obviously misinformed and refuse to be educated. All I hear from these people are CoD, BF3, etc. Dust isn't, and will never be, like those games. If you want what's in those games so badly, leave Dust and play those games. It's that simple.

If you want to stay here and not get criticized by the mature thinking players, then grow the hell up, become informed on what you're talking about, and make an intellectual post that players other than the Veruca Salt people out there.

For those who don't understand the "Veruca Salt" reference, she was a spoiled little rich girl who's favorite phrase to whine was "I want it NOW!"

Hmmmm.

EVE player perchance.

Yup thought so, go back to your space rocket PACman.

you one of them crap player types QQing about getting left behind by the proper player base

Played Eve. Haven't for a while. Play CoD4 and MW2, Resistance, Halo, and a few others so your argument is void.



You've obviously never read any of my other posts. So thanks for confirming your status as one of those who will never grow the hell up or become informed on what you're talking about.

Are you sure you're even old enough to legally play this game? I mean it is rated 16...

virgin^^^^^

Wow, just wow...

GB2CoD and may god have mercy on your soul.

lol you're an idiot. It benefits no one and it will keep this game on the back burner for people. The game will fail if they keep a SP cap, mark my words.

I can hit the cap in 3 days easily. But then again, for people like you who can't play, yeah it does benefit your low scoring, no skill having games.

Enjoy the game if they keep the cap because you'll be playing against the same people over and over or you can have fun with the PVE if you like playing with yourself.

TROLL MOAR

Though I can understand how a cap would frustrate someone like you who has a less interesting life than others and so you choose to game alot more often.

Removing the cap would definetely benefit you and your no life having lack of time in the sunlight existence.

this from a evetard nice when you last empty that $hit bucket in your bed room

Actually I only play games about twice a week, played EVE for a very short period of time then had a loss of a family member and haven't really gone back to it since.

As I said troll moar since that's all you can do.

so you dont play much so we who play alot sould suffer ok that makes sense any 1 else's hobby you want mess with.next time you lose a family member take up fishing

So since you play all the time, those of us with full time jobs and lives outside of gaming should suffer. Next time you come up with an idea try to use a functional brain.

Everything you troll...I mean argue can be countered with an argument from the LARGER group of players which are casual gamers. Believe it or not the hardcore gamers that sink 4-8 hours everyday into gaming are not the majority anymore. So while you may think that devs need to cater to you and others like you who play most often you're wrong.

Gaming has evolved and the game developers know this, that's why more companies are trying to make games appeal to casual gamers as well. Sorry to burst your bubble though.

EDIT: Don't remember who or if it was in this thread, but someone said the devs are about making money, well casual gamers make up a larger group and also have disposable income...wait what's that...there are more of them AND they have money to spend...

well hope all you casual gamers that spend loads of $$$ on games and gameing all get on at the same time so you have some one to play with the hard core will have moved on

The problem is this...with what we've been shown (that's the key to this) and to have the SP cap in place...isn't making this game all that interesting and different from anything else. Which in turn will diminish the player base and it'll become a niche game and be forgotten.

So all we can do is hurry up and wait to see if what they have planned is worth it.

It's because we're all waiting, playing the same maps over and over and playing the same people with nothing new on the horizon to look forward to that we're here, picking apart what we know not fully aware of what other things will be introduced to maybe alleviate the SP cap concerns.

It would be in the best interest of CCP to start putting out more info for the players of stuff that's going to be in the game AND working.

-Yes, it seems detrimental.

I have nearly reached the cap this weekend and have not played a ton of games. I didnt know it was 500K but if so, that means it could probably be reached in 1 good day of gaming.

I wish there was a way to do a /played type command and I could show that at most I probably have 8 hours total on this guy and nearly 500k skill points.

-Now, I do not consider 8 hours to be "hardcore" by any means, rather seems causal for weekend play. I may be missing something here since I am brand new but yeah....

IKR, don't they have a person or group in place to give us information on the game? Not trying to be a pain, but if they have fixes then they could at least give us something about it.

I guess their focus right now is the tourney so they can actually watch the game mechanics first hand and see what people use most, etc.

I remember reading somewhere from a dev post(or maybe heard it on a blog) that they are working on making a soft cap instead of a hard cap, so maybe after you hit the 500k your SP gain gets reduced to 1/4 of what it was or something. I don't really want to see the week cap go away because if they shorten it then casual gamers will have a HUGE disadvantage, and if they lengthen it then hardcore gamers will have even longer of no/low gain.

A week is perfect because if casual gamers only get a day or 2 to play then they can grind their way to the hard/soft cap on those days, and a hardcore gamer only goes a few days without, but I guess those few days are rather annoying...

Wow, that's impressive, either that or I just suck.

That's about 63k per hour, I guess that's possible. I just normally take breaks between each game, or play 3 matches and then log for awhile...I can't play for 8 hours straight honestly, I get migraines.

No sir, you're not a pain. The one's who are the pain IMHO are the posters who claim someone who has no life, or to get outside, etc... I have as much responsibility as the next guy/gal but I still get game time. *shrugs*
