ok, here is my take on this "lovely" new SP system.
1). Marketing: Simply put; this gets CCP more money so people can stay competitive to buy boosters (even though boosters are a massive waist, except passive now)
2). They are still stuck on assuming everyone will stick around seven, let me repeat, SEVEN YEARS to max ever skill. FPS's wont be here for 7 years to max out every skill. The way the game is going, they will be lucky if people stay around a year. WIth max skills we have seen (& havent hopefully), they shoudl aim at 3-4yrs to max all skills.
3). No benefit of playing atm once you hit the cap. You can't even sayto gain ISK, as in the 2-3hrs of playing, i've net 2mil ISK. Plus i have nothing to spend it on, nor will i for the first week or so. So can't say it's to far ISK. Even corp battles aren't a big draw at the moment
4). Keep us "no lifers" from getting a massive advantage. Now, i think a weekly cap was great; they just needed to increase the cap, and cost of skills to sync w/ the bigger cap; along w/ having a roll over pool; and a soft cap (a worthwhile one. not this 50SP bull we have now)
At the moment, there isn't a feeling of progress in playing. After this 1st day where we have 300k SP to spend (assuming u spent a decent amount of it), you are looking at the ability to upgrade 2-4 skills a weeks. Even in BF3 or CoD, there is a sense of achievement and advancement when you play. You get new guns, attachments, etc. Here, you simply hold your SP for 1-2 weeks, then you get to use what you wanted. Then rinse and repeat. I dont need or want the instant gratification given in said titles; but having some sense of progress is nice; but when i see my SP pool to 15k unallocated, and know that w/ the passive im to get today, and all of tomorrow i still wont have enough for the next level of skill i want
As the game is now; it really isn't fun anymore. It has become a chore to log on, play my 2-3 hours; then i log off. This is coming from someone who eagerly awaited thurdays so i could jump on and play for 50hrs in a weekend since the game was so entertaining. The main reason i even stay on after i hit the cap is to play/chat/laugh w/ my corpmates. |
