no dayly cap just weekly cap. Simple cause i get no SP at all and hit the cap after 3 days.

I would suggest that those who play the game enough to get to their cap that quickly make another character. We do get 3 slots.

This way you can level up more than one character at a time, and then when you go into battles you have a pick of two specialized characters, each good for their own situation.
Say you know your corp is missing a vehicle guy, or sniper, and that is what your second character is specced for.

For those of us who dont have the time we can still level up one character just fine.

I heard numerous people in Local,Team,forums,IRC talking about a daily cap.Without insulting anyone and trying to be as nice as possible this thread is being directed at those individuals that think this would be a good idea.

Ill try to break this down in a method that explains how this is a very bad idea,and how moronic the pros are for this way of thinking.

1. CCP has never claimed that your combined weekly SP payout would ever exceed 500k.The week starts over every WED day so from there you play to the next weekly down time.(at your leisure)
2. 500k/7days=71,428.571 roughly 71,429 SP.That is what you would get on a daily basis.Thats it.
3. EXAMPLE: So WED you play get your daily(71,429)THUR day you have to go pick up the kids,dry cleaning,clean your house,work overtime because a co worker called in sick so you had to cover for them,you wanna watch the superbowl,wife wants you to take her out for dinner and a movie,a million other RL things.So you dont play on THUR......you will not be able to make up those points on FRI when you have more time to play.Now youve got time to play the game and it ordinarily takes you will say 2 hours to get 71,429 since you missed THUR you will or could play for 4 hours and make up for that and get FRI days out of the way.WEEKLY CAP
With a daily cap you would never be able to do that.FRI you would play hit 71,429 and the server would slow you down to 100 SP matches.THUR and its SP would never be able to be made up ever.

Some of us are busier than others the weekly payout is fine.The passive booster assures that if you gonna miss a day you wont totally get screwed.
Before you comment on this thread really read it and the example I ve given you if not dont bother posting.I could go on and on with example that might keep you from playing,your kids birthday,you and your wifes anniversary....a million other things.A daily cap would (in my opinion) only reward the mothers basement dwelling troll with no RL and the game junkie...the guy who hangs himself over a video game....
I and many others are neither of those 2.

sorry if you people have RL **** but some us arent 30-40 years olds. If people want to play everyday then they should be able to get as much sp as they desire. The way the cap works now is a fail becuz us "GOOD" players reach 0 sp by day two and all desire to play fades as day 4 approaches. Also if one were to miss a week of sp for what ever reason, thats sp forever gone. There should be some sort of daily cap to keep us motivated while playing multiple days, or keep the weekly cap and add a base minimal gain to 1-2k sp. Allow the players who missed a week to catch up to the global sp cap, that way everyone in the world will have a way to catch up to the max sp cap.

last wed i made 300-400k in one day after the reset

The problem with your example is i made way over 71ksp on Wed so if 500k was divided by 7 no way i could have gained that much SP in one day I've been making only double digit's today never even broke a 100sp per match

Ya, I personally like the idea of the weekly cap better, but will be happy either way.

If there was a daily limit it would be like a happy hour.

Some think that the weekly cap prevents people from playing all week, but like you said, some of us just can not play all week anyway. Most of us can not I would think.

Other people shouldn't have to suffer because YOU can't play as much as someone else. A weekly and or daily cap will drive people away except the people who like the cap.

You make the assumption that I cant make it in 2 days.You are incorrect.If you want to get mad at someone get mad at CCP for putting a CAP in in the first place.Weekly or daily.Also you go on to say that "all desire to play fades as day 4 approaches".I dont want it to take more than 2 days of playing.You think about your hours played?
Your veiled insult at my age is the stuff of legends...Im sorry you have no wife,kids,car,job.Maybe you should put down the controller and get your life priorities right.Instead of being a prime psychological test case in self delusion and video game addiction.Us people as you refer to US as people with jobs,kids,wife HAVE MONEY and CCP knows that.Good luck trying to bury your head in the sand and "fight the System".Money makes the world go round.Life isnt fair deal with it.

lol why do You people always think some is getting mad? hard to tell over text. You may not what it to take more than 2 days, but we dont want the game to die early. people play games to achieve something, in dust, you lose that level of achieving something when there is no sp to gain. YOU make the assumption that i have no RL. Im fine, my life is straight, i passed all my college classes, my gf thinks im awesome for being 4th in the world in dust. she wants me to train her but i told her she needs to get good. all of us are here because we have a gaming addiction, you applied to play a game thats not even close to being released, your addicted.

You continue to play after the cap to achieve kills in a beta, and it will be ERASED.

You continue to play after the cap to achieve kills in a beta, and it will be ERASED.

The only real advantage to a daily cap is that players will keep playing consistently throughout the week. The weekly cap's downfall is that some players only play the first few days after the cap reset, and then everything is dead until the following Wednesday.

As the week progresses, I notice less and less corp activity, which sucks. Usually Sunday night, Monday night, and Tuesday night is a ghost-town. But I do agree with the OP about the daily cap's limitations, and it would be a punishment to the players that don't play the game everyday 24/7.

I don't mind the weekly cap for myself, as it's actually pretty rare I hit the cap, cause I only play a few hours a night and that is only a handful of matches. But it gives me the option to play as little or much as I want without falling too far behind.

Perhaps a daily-cap solution could be rollover-SP if you didn't earn it the previous day. So say you missed 3 days, just multiply the 3 days worth of caps and that will be the new limit. And anything not obtained, would rollover to the next daily cap. Then every week on Wednesday it would all reset again.

I continue to play because I like killing people on the internetz.

Surely a better matchmaking system would fix this problem? (Some people wanting to play everyday, some who can't.)

playerbase is not big enough to break into groups

You guys know this system is temporary right? It's so the skill levels of players doesnt get too uneven. Its not gonna change untill release or open beta so it's pointless to talk about

If you care about a subject like this heta you should avoid talking about it, not sure what it is but whenever you talk I find my self wanting to do/think the complete opposite, even if I agree with you, doubt I'm the only one.

your life choices are your own problem don't see what that has to do with any thing weekly is just the same thing. my ps3 broke so no play for me for a week so how do you cache up simple you don't . thats the hole problem with a cap but it's what you i have a life people want i would have no cap then some one who picks the game up l8 can cache up in time but NO!! say the i have a life and a job and kids and i am a member of the local bowling club. so it's ok for true gamers to have to wate on you a$$es fine

hmm

hmm merry xmas i hope you brake both your arms and can't play for 6 weeks. then you can tell me how good the cap is

[quote=Beld Errmon]its because you troll my post and then I kick your ass in game.I dont care if YOU perse agree or not.Im used to "haters"in RL and in video games.You can argue with Logic.If that keeps you up at night..That you could agree with your supposed enemy that has made you rage out in a video game than you have some "sore Loser" issues you need to sort out.Possibly ***** envy.Might want to seek professional Psychological help for that.If you had something to add you would have said it.Since you dont.Yer dismissed.

you just keep on being you

1. Full time job
2. Friends after work.
3. Eat after friends.
4. Im a clean person, never have to clean much around the house.
5. Sleep 4 hours a day.
6. Still have time to play a good 4-6 hours daily.

Im not seeing any issue with a daily cap. All it does is compensate for stragglers. They are losing players do to the weekly cap. Most players prefer to be rewarded for their effort and losses.

If not then its like playing COD with everything unlocked from the start. Yes you'll have fun initially but after 1hour youve seen everything and want to get more. With a weekly cap you've reached it then youre stuck at 100 until a reset a week later, meaning doing the same thing every battle.

An MMO should not be repetitive. They want it to take seven years thats fine, raise the skill points required for learning said skills. If you want people to continue playing then they need things to do. Just battling for isk to buy the same fits 300 times until wednesday is irritating.

I don't mind the weekly cap for myself, as it's actually pretty rare I hit the cap, cause I only play a few hours a night and that is only a handful of matches. But it gives me the option to play as little or much as I want without falling too far behind.

I am the same, and tbh for people like us a daily cap would be better. 2 hours at high SP every day would be great.

We will always be behind players who cap out every time, it actually doesn't matter. Experience in mmos has shown that those that play too hard at the start tend to burn out and its the plodders who win out in the end. mmo is a long game.

It really doesn't matter if we miss the odd day or week or even month. (I am talking about when we go live not now in beta when of course none of it matters at all)

It DOES matter.IF YOU DONT PLAY DAILY YOU GET NO SP JACKASS.WTF ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING?YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO ACHIEVE A WEEKLY CAP OF 500K THAT WONT TAKE YOU A WHOLE WEEK OF PLAY.IT TAKES MOST PEOPLE A COUPLE DAYS....DAMN ITS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL

What you are failing to understand is this.
You wear PROTO you kill a bunch of people you get number 1 MVP
You get 300k+ISK for MVP
Youve made enough money to equip your fit 1 or 2 more times.Insuring that you go MVP again the next match.
3rd match you die because you get precision struck,tank,turret,LAV explodes.You lose money.The money you will make is now NEGATIVE what you spent in RESPAWNS.YOU are spending money just to get kills.What you should be doing is wearing a cheaper suit.But what does that mean.You might die more often not get that hack off not kill as much and not go MVP.So you get less money and the guy who never gets MVP who had the money that match spent his on upper tier fits.Someone else goes MVP so he has a little money to buy that skill book or buy a fit.....its his lucky day.
You keep on playing, you keep on keeping this guy from getting more money which he may need.So you run that risk....to go cheap,to wear your best,to risk or not risk.If you make enough money to achieve a constant rollover to get your 500k faster buy wearing your best stuff then thats better for you.Work on a second or third slot.Let the other guy get MVP......
CCP's weekly cap is a solid game mechanic.Its absolutely FAIR.If you are not playing then you give the new player a chance to get MVP and make some money.Whats the matter you scared of competition?

If you continue.You run the risk of losing ISK.(spawns)Totally in line with New Edens dog eat dog mentality.

Why does it matter f the cap is weekly or daily? As Vane Arcadia new players will always have less SP than dedicated players who started playing before them (unless the dedicated player takes a massive break for some reason.)

For instance, let's say that I'd only just started. I've got the SP that I start with. Now, even if I play to my cap every time, I'll never catch up with players like G-SLicK (just using him as an example as he's been in the thread, no offence intended) as he is also playing to the cap but he's also however million SP ahead of me to begin with. So we're still progressing at the same rate. Yes, I'll be getting new skills quicker as the lower ranked ones are cheaper, but in order to be able to really compete with him, I'll need to get one of my weapons skill maxed out and one of my suit skills too.

If CCP want new players to be able to 'catch up' with older players, they need to make an overall life time cap that goes up each day. So that newer players are ale to earn as much SP as they can play for, while longer standing players with higher SP will still be ale to earn more each day.

That's IF CCP wants new players to be able to catch up. It may be that they implement a matchmaking scheme that means that they don't have to.

I don't know what the intention behind the SP cap is. I assume that it's to stop the players with the time and the inclination to ply more from completely dominating the games while we are in this much smaller beta test community.

So what you are saying is people running the gear they trained up for and winning in it is unfair and when they reach their cap for the week they should stop playing or run militia so mediocre players like yourself get to win?

rofl hello kitty island misses you dude, you need to return to games where everyone is a WINNER!

looking forward to your next re-tarded caps laden post.

looking forward to your next re-tarded caps laden post.
This game is played on one server,Yes thats exactly what im saying.Its more competitive that way and doesnt choke out the new player.Bigger player base.More people to shoot.Not owning lame phucks like you everyday. Day in and day out.

No its played on multiple servers around the world, so far to my knowledge there is US, EU, Asia and Australian servers.

What you are saying is stupid, although I applaud any effort pro players go to, to ensure a more fun experience for new players, but to expect it as a matter of course is naive and silly, match maker will take care of this in the future.

And as for owning lame phucks like me?

Hecatonchires Gyges
Rank: 736

Yes you are a total pro who absolutely pwns people, you can keep your delusions if I could queue on your servers more then once in a blue moon i'd give you a larger sample size to base your opinion on.

I didnt invent the CAP.CCP did.

The difference between me and this new player that you spoke of is that I used skill boosters weather active or passive.That cost me the "user" ...money.CCP needs to make money so they can pay there employees.

I have been playing since day one this other "user" has not.

That aside CCP has tried triple SP rewards in previous builds everyone is wearing proto and no one uses the lesser gear unless they had too it was just as vanilla as anything else.The idea is for you to feel like you HAVE achieved something.It is only us Americans that are so into instant gratification.People just want to hit the fast foward button.Others just want advantage.

The problem with the example you gave is this.I open up my slot 2 and level up over night the other player had to grind for months.I catch up in 2 weeks.It cheapens the other players achievements,the guy who had to grind.

why does that cheapen the other players achievement? If you've been playing to your cap, and earning your 500k SP a week since the game began, and, let's say that you earn, on average 1000sp per game (I've no idea how much you generally earn, this is just a figure for the example.) then each week, you've played 500 games. So, after 2 years you've earned 52,000,000 SP. if a new player starts during this time, and can play 52,000 games, in less time, why shouldn't ey end up with the same sp? They've played the same number of games that were earning SP. how does that cheapen your efforts? If you've chosen to play games that didn't earn you sp, that you enjoyed and earned ISK for, should that mean that a new player can't catch up?

Why does it matter f the cap is weekly or daily? As Vane Arcadia new players will always have less SP than dedicated players who started playing before them (unless the dedicated player takes a massive break for some reason.)

For instance, let's say that I'd only just started. I've got the SP that I start with.

DJINN likes the weekly cap better.Why are you putting words in his mouth.

It DOES matter.IF YOU DONT PLAY DAILY YOU GET NO SP JACKASS.WTF ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING?YOU HAVE 7 DAYS TO ACHIEVE A WEEKLY CAP OF 500K THAT WONT TAKE YOU A WHOLE WEEK OF PLAY.IT TAKES MOST PEOPLE A COUPLE DAYS....DAMN ITS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL

I understand what you are saying - I am simply disagreeing with you and putting across an alternate view.

I honestly support no cap.

There will always be people that are better then you. There will always be people that play more then you.
So why level the playing field? They will still be ahead nonetheless.

Also, isn't that what New Eden is about? Survival of the Fittest?

At least in Null-sec anyway. For Hi-sec we could just have a *working* matchmaking system that prohibits high-level players from eating the corpses of the lower level people.

Because most MMO have "dumb" skills which may sound good one paper but after they are bought the player comes to find are absolutely worthless or for the sake of game balance are dumbed down.My examples are Large misssle turret,small missle turret,most drop ship skills (after the change to the flight physics) and my resent favorite Light weapon sharp shooter.All of which have either been changed or nerfed and alot of people wish they had that SP back.Im not opposed to any of those nerfs or any others.Im just saying that the day 1 player might have gone down that path and now has to reconfigure his/her character to compensate to try and salvage his stats/character.You were a tanker now you are on foot you have no weapon/armor skills.
The new player benefits by never putting SP into those skills and learns from another s mistakes.This in RPG'S is called "planned"character generation.Its like a line of people going through a maze,and you are the last in line.You get the benifit of everyone branching of and telling you not to go this way or that and you cruise right on through.Ez mode

I honestly support no cap.

There will always be people that are better then you. There will always be people that play more then you.
So why level the playing field? They will still be ahead nonetheless.

So you think that their SP should be worth less than yours?
I'm afraid I disagree entirely.
Even now, it's entirely possible to check what skills are like with other players who've already bought them, I mean, I've got an alt that I specifically use to try out skills before buying them for my main character.
Okay, so once the game goes live, there'll be no way to get back SP spent on skills you don't like, but as Beta testers, we'll have already played and tried things out, so when the game starts and we lose all our characters, we'll all be able to plan our characters, so why should a player who comes along later get penalised for doing the same thing?

If the player is "hardcore" he/she is playing this beta.

This SP cap situation only affects this Hardcore player.The non hardcore player will not either care or have the time to play so this issue is moot to them.

Now those that like the game but are busy can buy a passive which does not award 500k a week.(Ive done the math)And why should it?If this person cannot find time in 7 days to use there active to achieve the cap while others can.This person isnt actually playing the game so why should they?I am ok with this.But what about this game being f2p and it taking someone more than 2 days to achieve the cap?Or there Sp payouts are lower per match than ours?So what do we say?Fk that guy?Nah. Like I said before if you got time to burn CCP has given you more than 1 character slot.If you are board grind without boosters on.

That's not true in the slightest. I mean, eve online is 9 years old, assuming that the intention is for dust to last as long, then there will be a large number of new 'hardcore' gamers available to play it who aren't interested right now.also not true. What about a 'hardcore' gamer who started after the players who are already running proto gear?The boosters you appear to be fixated on are nothing to do with it.
As I understand it, once you reach your weekly SP cap, however you've earns the SP, your SP gain is reduced for the week.
A 'hardcore' player, who starts playing now because they got their PS3 for Christmas will never be able to catch up to someone like G-SLicK, even if they play more and use constant active and passive boosters because both the old and the new players have the same limits on how much SP they can earn per week.

Before being able to properly make suggestions to CCP as to how they can achieve heir aim, we need to know what their aim is.

I already addressed you question.G slick since you like using him as an example bought Monthly,weekly,daily,3 day passive skillboosters to achieve that Sp and assign it where he wanted too.What your telling me is.That a daily would help this new person achieve his rank and standing in half the time it took G slick.......That cheapens his achievement AND robs him of real world money he spent to achieve that.

So, if two players ( lets call them player A & player B) both start new characters at the same point and player A plays 500 games each earning him 1000 sp during a week, and player B played the exact same games, earning the exact same score, but with the boosters active, they'd both have earned 500k sp. the only difference is that player B would have done it sooner and would have played a number of games after the cap was hit without earning sp.

In this situation, both players have invested the same time and effort, and both have had the same rewards. No-ones efforts are cheapened, no-ones been robbed. Why does time scale make it any different?

First of all your logic is flawed and circular...omg.
In your example player B has an active on.....it wouldnt take him 500 games...........because the ACTIVE BOOSTER multiplies his WP to SP payout PER match.So player B gets 500k in 250 matches.But goes on to play another 250 he now has 1 million SP....Player A has to play 1000 games to keep up with player B.As this continues that margin becomes greater until it is physically impossible to play enough matches to keep with Player B, as player A literally runs out of time to play matches between downtimes.What dont YOU understand?

player B wouldn't earn 1 million sp because the cap is 500k a week.
He would hit the cap after 250 games, then the next 250 would only earn him ISK.

Wow nice troll.Thanks for restating the obvious.What is your point exactly?That you think the cap should not be in place yes?Am I Understanding that right?Im assuming that you are not in favor of a cap?Sooooooo
By your example both player A and player B play for the same amount of time per week.Who has more SP ay the end of the week.This game is supposed to be f2p.
A player with no cap and boosters on will always be ahead of that guy in YOUR scenario.Thats the need for the ******* cap.

My point is;
Before being able to properly make suggestions to CCP as to how they can achieve heir aim, we need to know what their aim is.
I have stated no preference as to if we have a cap or not. What I want doesn't matter. What I want to know is what CCP wants, if they want new players to be able to catch up with old ones or not. Then we can try to work out how to achieve that.

sorry if you people have RL **** but some us arent 30-40 years olds. If people want to play everyday then they should be able to get as much sp as they desire. The way the cap works now is a fail becuz us "GOOD" players reach 0 sp by day two and all desire to play fades as day 4 approaches. Also if one were to miss a week of sp for what ever reason, thats sp forever gone. There should be some sort of daily cap to keep us motivated while playing multiple days, or keep the weekly cap and add a base minimal gain to 1-2k sp. Allow the players who missed a week to catch up to the global sp cap, that way everyone in the world will have a way to catch up to the max sp cap.

last wed i made 300-400k in one day after the reset

This my friends is what a simple minded pubby looks like. remember it

I would suggest that those who play the game enough to get to their cap that quickly make another character. We do get 3 slots.

This way you can level up more than one character at a time, and then when you go into battles you have a pick of two specialized characters, each good for their own situation.
Say you know your corp is missing a vehicle guy, or sniper, and that is what your second character is specced for.

For those of us who dont have the time we can still level up one character just fine.

I heard numerous people in Local,Team,forums,IRC talking about a daily cap.Without insulting anyone and trying to be as nice as possible this thread is being directed at those individuals that think this would be a good idea.

Ill try to break this down in a method that explains how this is a very bad idea,and how moronic the pros are for this way of thinking.

1. CCP has never claimed that your combined weekly SP payout would ever exceed 500k.The week starts over every WED day so from there you play to the next weekly down time.(at your leisure)
2. 500k/7days=71,428.571 roughly 71,429 SP.That is what you would get on a daily basis.Thats it.
3. EXAMPLE: So WED you play get your daily(71,429)THUR day you have to go pick up the kids,dry cleaning,clean your house,work overtime because a co worker called in sick so you had to cover for them,you wanna watch the superbowl,wife wants you to take her out for dinner and a movie,a million other RL things.So you dont play on THUR......you will not be able to make up those points on FRI when you have more time to play.Now youve got time to play the game and it ordinarily takes you will say 2 hours to get 71,429 since you missed THUR you will or could play for 4 hours and make up for that and get FRI days out of the way.WEEKLY CAP
With a daily cap you would never be able to do that.FRI you would play hit 71,429 and the server would slow you down to 100 SP matches.THUR and its SP would never be able to be made up ever.

Some of us are busier than others the weekly payout is fine.The passive booster assures that if you gonna miss a day you wont totally get screwed.
Before you comment on this thread really read it and the example I ve given you if not dont bother posting.I could go on and on with example that might keep you from playing,your kids birthday,you and your wifes anniversary....a million other things.A daily cap would (in my opinion) only reward the mothers basement dwelling troll with no RL and the game junkie...the guy who hangs himself over a video game....
I and many others are neither of those 2.

This.

I support a weekly cap on SP (whether 500k or 1 mil...whatever is determined best). I support this for previous reasons stated in this thread, namely that not everyone can play 23/7 and it would help even the playing field in the long run.

I support the use of boosters. CCP needs to make money and boosters are a good avenue in my opinion. Whether the booster raises a players cap (ex: 500k weekly cap is raised to 750k) or is the cap is still 500k but the player can reach the cap twice as fast).

I support not having a grind. Let a player earn what they earn (10 war points = 100 skill points or whatever the math turns out to be) and when they reach the cap, zero out the SP gain for the rest of the week. No one likes playing those final 20 matches for 14 SP each.

I support having a global SP minimum. By this I mean that at the end of every month, if a player who is not at a minimum level of SP will be allowed to play "cap-free" until they reach that minimum SP level. Once the reach that minimum, the cap will go back into affect. An example would be 500k per week times 4 weeks per month is 2mil. After the first month at launch, going into month two, a player who has less that 2mil can play cap free until they reach 2 mill. Going into the third month, a player can play cap free until they reach 4 mil. (*** the numbers can be adjusted but you get the premise [hopefully]***)

There's no daily cap on EvE i can learn what i want when i want, even though the training on there is different and it works on RL time, On Dust you should be able to get as much sp as possible for the hardcore players, as for not been able to catch up to some one from day 1 you can't catch up to a 2002 player on EvE so why change that approach in Dust if your just playing for the FPS this shouldn't make a difference if your playing for a corp then you will play from day 1 anyways.
