Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 393	Posted - 2013.01.08 18:37:00 - [31] - Quote yea, not that big of a head start for us from closed beta to open beta so I am OK with that. I am OK with not having a reset at launch (caveat coming) as long as upon full release they have game modes set up for new players...militia only games...games with no vehicles...that way even though they are behind us in SP, they do not have to constantly go up against us.
LXicon Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 54	Posted - 2013.01.08 18:38:00 - [32] - Quote arimal lavaren wrote: It's only 2 weeks Og, what will that be 2 maybe 3 million SP not really that bad when you stop and think everything maxes at 5 anyway. based on this Dev post by CCP Frame : https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=50021&find=unread Quote: New system: Daily cycle (reset at downtime) Daily allowance of 27,200 SP per day (hard-capped) Linear returns to warpoints and time spent GÇô the better you play, the more you earn (until you hit the cap) - Warpoints earned are converted into skillpoints (1 WP = 1 SP) - Time spent in battle grants SP (1 second = 5 SP) - Consolation prize of 50 SP per battle once the daily cap has been hit Quote: Further clarification to the Skill Points gain system changes: If you get the active booster the cap is raised to 40.800 SP per day. The numbers are only for the active skill gains. Passive gain will still be at 24.000 SP per day, or 36.000 SP per day if you're running a booster. So: with booster, max is 76,800 SP a day (1,075,200 in 2 weeks) + Consolation prizes if any without booster, max is 51,200 SP a day (716,800 in 2 weeks) + Consolation prizes if any

It is the final Character Wipe before release is they way I saw it posted. I would certainly expect at least one more client update by release and several server updates that tweak things they can do strictly from the server side. What the Kitten those are, I have no real idea.

Yeah, I guess 2 weeks would be ok, although if it ends up being a month or 2 then that would be too much.

It's back to basics All your equipment will be wiped. All original Aurum and equipment from Merc packs will be still yours though. Skinweave suits will still be yours. I'm not sure about any of the other gear like the Quaff suits or tournament prizes. Anything given to you as part of an event, or the merc pack, are yours. Anything that was consumed (i.e. the Quafe suit) or spend (Aurum) is refunded. This is the way it's been for every wipe so far. So my 1M SP from a special week/event should be there. No It is my belief that you are totally wiped like a newly created character At least my Merc pack booster will reset. But the last wipe didn't rob me of the 1M SP either. I never got the 1 mil sp back. I think NO will be your answer.
Forlorn Destrier ZionTCD Legacy Rising 914	Posted - 2013.01.08 19:23:00 - [37] - Quote Do you guys expect a wipe every few months after release to keep it fair too? Fact is open beta is pretty much release. At that point access is no longer restricted. Life in new Eden is harsh. There will always be somekne bigger and better in any game. This is not unfair.
LT Dans Legs Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 72	Posted - 2013.01.08 19:36:00 - [38] - Quote Nope, after thursday everything will be set in stone. Yay finally. So make sure you know where you want to skill.
Cygnus Gogela Freeport Exploration Loosely Affiliated Pirates Alliance 50	Posted - 2013.01.08 20:18:00 - [39] - Quote You guys are getting too wrapped up in this "head start" concept. Yah you'll have some extra SP and better gear... but it's not all about that. EvE players kept their beta SP. I can't imagine it'll be that different in DUST. CCP isn't following the 'standard model' here... this is a long-term game. They are betting people will dig the persistence and stick around for a while. I'm coming up on 7 years of playing EvE... so believe me when I say it's a sound strategy and concept. A month or two isn't going to give you much of an advantage in the long run. There's a T1 cruiser (8 mil ISK fit spaceship) that's been baiting an popping T3 cruisers (340+ mil isk fit spaceship) in Jita for the last couple of weeks. Don't underestimate the noob with steady aim who flanks.

Due to HTML in it, not letting me copy/pase directly out of but here is what I asked and his answer... Me: If there is no other reset on Dust characters past the 10th, then we will have a few weeks head start on all the new players that in on Open Beta, and even longer at release? Nullarbor: yes Sooo basically OP vets incoming on release... And if CCP's matchmaking system is working, may effectively separate us from the noobswarm, allowing them to make it out of their larval stage intact and relatively unscarred by us cruel old vets.
Nomed Deeps The Exemplars 91	Posted - 2013.01.08 21:49:00 - [42] - Quote A Few Questions: The corp names we used on Singularity are unable to be used on Tranquility, correct? How exactly is the temp corp name being reserved where no one else can create it if you have to re-create it yourself? Are we notified if our temp corp name (given via email) is not available or is already taken on Tranquility?
Superluminal Replicant Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 35	Posted - 2013.01.08 22:06:00 - [43] - Quote So the game is basicaly released (for us) sometime this thursday with no more wipes incomming. Glad I checked the forums today!

So Dust will stay open beta for the reason to add expansions etc. Much like eve

Muscaat 514 EVE Markets 14	Posted - 2013.01.09 01:39:00 - [51] - Quote To all those wondering if there should be a further wipe before go-live.. When we hit Tranquillity we'll also be running off the same database as EVE. The thought of trying to untangle the Dust-specific parts of that for a partial reset probably strikes fear into the most hardened CCP developer, and such a thing has (to my knowledge) only ever been done once in the history of the game (old dev blog at http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=761). tl;dr: this is it... We're going to hit the big time. And I for one am rather excited
