I like the new Sp cap.

Its going to be easy to keep up.

That was quick.

Don't you think going for a week to a day was too much of a jump? I understand why they limit the SP but after such a short time playing for today, it was kind of a letdown. I know people didn't like the 7 day SP cycle, but at least them you had like 3-4 days worth of playing before the SP really dropped off. Now I feel like I HAVE to play the game every day or I'm getting screwed, rather maybe only play every other day but for a long time when I do.

Not to mention that Active Skill boosters are FAR less valuable now, I think CCP is shooting themselves in the foot in that regard.

Perhaps instead of a 1 day cycle we can go with a 3 or 4 day SP cycle as a happy medium? I just don't want playing the game to feel like a chore I have to do every day ya know?

Testing new things with new players in the open beta will give us a broader range of views and is a welcome addition alongside those from our venerated closed beta playtesters such as yourself.

Remember that the active sp boost is really just a bonus on top of the passive. if you have passive sp active on the character you're still going to get a set amount per day so it's really not that big of a deal. if you don't have a lot of time to play during the week use passive booster instead of active and you'll get better value out of it.

Is it just me or is CCP trying to use the same strategy that almost EVERY FACEBOOK GAME EVER has.

You know, like how in order to keep playing the game you have to come back in 24 hours once your energy has recharged or whatever so that the developers keep you playing the game habitually.

There are a ton of good SP system ideas on the forums if they'd look at them. IMO best one seems to be:

Weekly cap + rollover SP pool if you don't reach it.

The pool would help the newcomers into DUST "catch up" to the closed beta testers since no reset.

The problem for me is some other game is going to get my attention and isn't going to string me along like this. The odds are that it will happen a half dozen times a year, as that is normal for me.

That means everything except one char with a Passive SP will be idle and it is the reason I am not kicking in the Active Boost because I have a couple games due pretty soon. And you have to keep logging in enough to keep the Passive SP cooking. Exactly how much that is remains a mystery.

So, once I come back from a game that keeps my interest for several hours at a stretch for days on end how far behind will I be? Too far and I'll walk, odds are. Next it would be just drop by once in a while to see if there has been an update but past that, why bother?

Frustrating.

The problem is the vocal minority of no-lifers here on the forums whined and whined until they got their way. Daily SP benefits them and puts normal people at a disadvantage.

.....what?

I think he's saying that normal people can't or may not want to log in every day to play.

I figured this is easier for people to keep up, you only have to play a few matches to reach the cap. This system actually seems more bland for the no lifers imo.

Many vocal folks were crying about a lack of motivation after capping out for the week in just a couple days of playing. They wanted to trade seven days of capping out on smaller amounts for several days of no reward. It was explained to them that the total amount of SP gained would not increase, and they would have a bigger chance of missing some SP due to missing a day, but they kept whining enough that CCP switched to a daily cap.

Now everyone is experiencing the effect and it seems the proponents of the daily cap figured out that they didn't like that either.

But there is no ISK cap 8D

Once we have some form of transfer of ISK from EVE, no one is going to care about how much ISK they can grind up in Dust.

@Skihids which corp are you going with? Sorry, I forgot and everything references the current status.

Sorry for OTP or just OP which has bad connotations down here in the Dust.

Its right out of the F2P playbook, but, those games stop you from playing at all. We can still play.

There's plenty of reason to play beyond watching the SP count tick upwards. Don't corp battles and faction warfare both exclude SP gains?

So, we still get all our SP in corp battles ???
