If there's a wipe and no increase to SP gain, then it's goodbye until launch tbh.

I cannot be arsed to grind up again especially after this last wipe/build. It's become such a chore and there's very little actual testing going on as people are still going for their main fits and not the weird and wonderful new things that have been added. All pure and simply because it takes too damn long.

I have no issue with working/earning SP for weeks on end come launch and I understand they need to test this mechanic, but when it hinders all other aspects of TESTING the game, then it's a waste of time in my eyes.

It does need a wipe thats for sure, but I've seen requests for 5mil SP and 10Mil SP, how stupid.

Fed up with grinding people, to much work for you all, everyone say Ahhhh.

Wipe everything earned to date, SP , Salvage, Corps as well. In fact all items bought with transferred ISK can go too, Grrrr.


EVERYTHING GOES, And we start from scratch, after all,

These are just trials and I for one will want to try something new. We don't need 10 mil SP or even 5mil SP, you can do as you've done in the past and leave it at 1 million. Which in my opinion is more than enough to get started with.

Denying the HUGH amounts of SP that people have asked for will stop them from simply moving into dominating vehicles off the bat, and EARN IT. !!

I also think its about time that salvage sales and transfers came to be, wether it's to the market or corp as this really needs to be tested in depth. !

Another thing is , what about the AURUM items that I've bought that I know I will not need now like the dropsuit BPO, as next time I do not intend to purchase it.

H.D

Yes/no. Id like to see isk stay, and sp too, but have them put all your sp into unallocated, so u can try new things w,/ the sp you have instead of starting from scratch AGAIN

I am awfully tired of starting from zero.

It's a beta.

there is no harm in just handing out enough SP to actually experiment.

SP is really hard to come by any more so when you're only getting 1K a match, you want to only apply that SP where it feels needed. I personally think the SP caps should be saved for release only. Afterall, how is the proto gear for everything ever supposed to be tested otherwise? Also, there's beyond proto stuff where you have to also have proficiency maxed to even equip some things; very few if any will be able to use those items during testing. If some things are falling through the cracks due to SP caps, then that kind of defeats the purpose of beta testing.

There are lots of people in prototype gear, already.

You don't want everyone in prototype stuff... You want people in EVERY variation and level all at the same time so that it can all be tested with and against each other. Not just prototype vs prototype

Incorrect. Prototype vs prototype balance is the crux of all balance decisions. Prototype vs militia is less important. Right now only those with the most skill have the best gear, horribly distorting any statistics gathered.
