Feel free to add some more of your own (comprehensive!) questions, guys. Still have nine hours until we get to see it for ourselves =P

-Could you give some elaboration on "Reducing the damage gap"?

-Mass drivers received increase magazine size, did they also receive increase maximum ammo as well?

-Could you elaborate "made damage pass on all turrets"?

-Difference between the Light Assault Rifle (Fanfest 2009 rifle speculation?) and the Gallente Assault Rifle?

-Update(s) on CCP Wolfman's "new suits" mentioned in Codex?

-Will we see the new weapons, I.E: Plasma Cannon, Flaylock Pistol and/or Scrambler Rifle in Chromosome?

-Update(s) on the Crusader/Pilot suits?

-Update(s) on Scout strafe speed?

-"Combined Cardiac Regulator and Cardiac Stimulant modules into one module type." Any updates on the skill requirement(s)?

-Update(s) on Selling Salvage/Player Market?

No skill reset for the Chromosome update. But expect one when we migrate DUST to the TQ server.

does that equal launch ? or is that another step in the beta ?

Will we be reimbursed for AUR and Skill Booster that have been used during Codex?

PSN: PiercingSerenity
Country: US
Class: Assault
Corp: Pink.Fluffy.Bunnies. [PFBHz]

Yes, it will be the same as previous resets we've had in the closed beta, you will be reimbursed on AUR spent.

So all sniper rifles will need to be charged to shoot?
I was happy with the current sniper rifle mechanics.
No one used the charge sniper rifle because you get less kills with it, I wonder if that's the reason for this implementation.

ya figured this is what will happen, still signed on to buy a bunch of AUR stuff in case they forget!!

This, Wang said we getting AUR and other stuff with the new build back.

I too am impressed by the level of service provided here when people ask nicely unlike some people I know and whom recently got banned. I wonder how long until the next reset though...

Edit: On a side note am I the only one wondering why Cmdr Wang chose such a name?

Because Major Wang was a little -too- obvious....


Seriously though, it's part of his name.

Please bear in mind that a reset will not occure with the Chromosome update today.

Heh heh I like your style, just was curious have a gamer friend who uses a Wang tag, he said it was supposed to be Wing but people kept calling him Wang so he went with it, just thought there might be a similarly amusing story behind this one too.

Howdy Cmdr Wang,


Any chance with this update today we will see the Weekly SP reset be adjusted to the schedule it was supposed to be on?

As of right now it resets every Wednesday, whereas in the notes explaining the Weekly SP, it says it resets every Tuesday.



Last question. We asked awhile back about this Weekly SP cap and were informed it might be adjusted to Daily SP cap "soon", any update on the SP system?

Correct, with the Chromosome update, the SP cap will be changed to daily instead of a weekly cap. The daily SP cap will be reset during each day's DT.

His actual name is Phil Wang, if I'm not mistaken. It's the same as me calling myself "Lieutenant Myers".

You spelt "Amadi" very wrong.

Also, I think we need more clarification.

We ARE getting all our gear and AUR returned, but there isn't a reset? Does this mean we lose all our gear like we would with a reset? Or just that we get AUR back AND keep all our stuff?

Ehm, why haven't you yet made it a week-long average with daily updates, where every day the quota is topped off with 1/7 of the total and it is a logarithmically decreasing function so that a daily player ends up settling on a somewhat steady amount of SP per battle.

Actually, I'd imagine a two/three-week total bucket for the quota would be better cause it would be more stable. Seriously, this isn't that difficult a programming exercise.

Well that just threw off three spreadsheets worth of marketing...

I'll be sure to use my actual last name on my next character so that the analogy fits better to your viewing standards.

And gives both casuals and hardcore players instantly better feelings towards the rewards they receive, instead of either having casuals crying over not getting enough SP and hardcore players crying over getting 0 SP after a few matches.

Reason I said that was because I honestly didn't expect to see mathematical formula being used on the forums

With the daily skill cap, will the unused SP from one or more days gonna report to the next day?

Not currently, the unspent SP don't accumulate, except passive SP. The SP cap is only for active SP gained from matches.

Hello CmdrWang! Can you tell us the exact amount of this daily "cap" ?

You will see a notification when you reach it. I'll not spoil the surprise.

Agreed Caz. Why they don't just implement an SP pool with rolling cap I don't know.

When will swarms stop bending around cover and locking on through cover?

when tanks stop hiding and sniping behind buildings in their ground spawn.

TBH swarms cause it the consequence is my tank stay back for longer

Fix that problem and i might come out to kill you more

No skill reset for the Chromosome update. But expect one when we migrate DUST to the TQ server.

Are we looking at the next build being the move to TQ or will the next build be testing of the new modules/suits/weapons prior to the move to TQ?...

Do you think we're looking at another one or two builds before moving to TQ basically.

I am wondering how the process is of returning Gift Event Items? I would like to know since I haven't gone through a Character Reset. (Yet.)

You log on, and you are presented with the list of allll the items you can claim. Exactly like you had to initially with your character when you first claimed it.

Don't like the daily cap Wang... why should I be at a disadvantage because I like to play once or twice a week for a 5 hour stint?

Cmdr Wang,

Question:

With Chromosome out, we the finalists of the Tourney be getting their rewards from their performances? And what about the Quafe suites?

You need to rest and regain your strength. Hint, hint.

That 1000k SP = 1000000SP = 1mil SP?

For SP progression that feels abit high, if it is supposed to be somewhat close to EVE's SP gain of aprox 1mil SP/month

Yes, numbers used for demonstrating an algorithm design are always balanced and ready for production use.

Wheres the buff? for tanks i mean, after all a lot of people asked for it.

Can someone explain to me how the daily cap helps out people who fall behind in SP more than a weekly cap? It seems like it would have the opposite effect to me, giving the people who can play everyday the advantage.

Until that problem is fixed, I advise you to stay in the red line, or better don't call out your HAV if you see me on the other side.
For the record, you always hurt your team more than actually do any good. Whenever you're on my team, I go out of my way and leave all null cannons to be hacked just to hack the supply depots before you destroy them and leave us hanging with no way to diversify our game play. When you're on the opposing team, well...I either keep you back in your red line, or destroy you just like last weekend when I wrecked your surya killing you and your two gunners.
suggestion, why don't you spec into sniper rifles? with enough damage modifiers, a charge sniper rifle can snipe just as good as a surya or a sagaris, and is much much cheaper, and you don't get swarmed while using them.

I'd really like to think there's something more to that statement than the obvious.

Great stuff.

Correction: only ****** scrubs that can't use ARs properly are asking for it.

All sarcasm aside, you're going to have a hard time getting a buff on those things without people bitching that E3 is back.

On the face of it, the weekly SP cap was the lesser of two evils. Please consider other options!

I'd like to see a daily "diminishing returns" effect, but one which works gradually, not hitting players hard, and with smaller modifiers being applied the longer you play - basically like a "stacking penalty" on the negative modifiers for long-term play.

There should also be a weekly "hard" cap on SP earnings, preferably with a series of thresholds that provide negative modifiers as well.

That would mean that people with only a day or two of playtime could grind for several hours and still be reasonably expected to keep up with the daily players who have a similar amount of total playtime.

To integrate the above restrictions into a coherent form, only the higher of the two applicable modifiers should be used. If you have a -100% modifier from hitting the weekly SP cap, you shouldn't have the daily modifier counted as well, because that will mean you lose SP for playing, and that's a terrible idea.

More importantly than this change, though, is that I want MORE TRANSPARENCY in the SP system. We need a way to see the following details:

1. Base SP earned (possibly with a further breakdown of SP from kills, SP from objectives and SP from destruction)
2. Booster modifier (if applicable, possibly with an ad for "you could have bought a booster for X AUR and got this bonus")
3. Currently-active diminishing returns modifier

Point 3 is the key thing we're not being told. Show players what our limits are, what's happening to "our" SP when we go into a match, so we aren't coming here and screaming "you stole my SP, stupid hard cap" or similar, less-polite reactions.

Forgive me if I've missed it

But it says that EVE Players can now to Orbital Bombardment....Where can I find out how to do this as an eve player. Also which (singularity, buckingham?) server do I need to be on, and what version should it be.

Thanks,

Posted something in another thread about sp that kinda sounds like this as well. Mix of a weekly (why not even monthly) and daily cap ? Also had an interesting talk on IRC with other players about cool ideas.

Anyway, only sur thing i can add is what CCP_Praetorian tweeted me yesterday : "We want to ensure that players progress (sp) similar if they started at the same time. "

I think this picture sums it up nicely.

No skill reset for the Chromosome update. But expect one when we migrate DUST to the TQ server.

We do plan to improve the SP cap system with future iterations that will be more sophisticated than the current daily SP cap. Thanks for all the suggestions and time spent in testing this system. The difference in opinon on whether a weekly or daily SP cap seems to be based on player preference and play style, and we will find a system that can best accomodate both and retain balance.

Added new aiming sensitivity settings in options for x and y

Correct, with the Chromosome update, the SP cap will be changed to daily instead of a weekly cap. The daily SP cap will be reset during each day's DT.
