Ok So I was in the shower soaping up as I usually do and I went, wait thats it, suddenly im going through the facts over in my head.
Heres what I thought about.
Why Sp Caps Willnot work;
Your playing a game, your doing well, your having a great time and your doing very well and you didnt know anything of an SP cap. You get to the end of the round and you look at your sp, you just went 20 and 0 or even 45 and 0 and your staring at it and boom.. small amount of sp.
Well you just did good, why arent you bathing in the holy aura of experience? Maybe its just a glitch, you shake your head in agreement with yourself, startup a new match, boom the same thing, except you did decent this match but you have a small payback.
ok what gives, so doing some research you find CCP has implemented things called SP caps, well thats just no fun, what would be the point of playing this game if you cant really play and earn things which is really the only way your going to do well.
Now your held back, now you have to grind and grind and grind and you grind and grind and grind and eventually just get enough to upgrade to that new tank , slap 12k on it only to die to AV.
now your frustrated, you just spent all this time to get a shiney new tank and now its dead, now your out 4 million isk, while that av walks away with a nice 50 wp.
Sp Caps wont work because they dont encourage people to play, infact they encourge the opposite which infact will not make a good game you realize as you see why their is no one on but protowearing super gods. All the other players left and your stuck getting bashed into the stone by someone in proto armor justbecause you did bad that one time when your sp cat reset.
Their will always be bad players and most players will feel like utter junk because they wasted their sp cap rest and now they have to grind, sound like fun? No not really, its why CCP dosent have a huge player base and had to go into open beta.
Games Like Bf3, yeah you have ranked servers and when you play your stuck with people close to your rank and your skill level and unlocks and whatnot.
In Dust514 you have no match making, your stuck with whoever and whatever and thats just not a fun game if its got randomlized chaos.
Theirs a reason Fpser's havent broken the mold of matchmaking and ranking and rewards is because its a Correct system to go by.
Say I get stuck in a match with a level 53 black eagle whatever that rank is on there. and I do badly or I do good, its all skill.
What im saying is, basically in dust 514, it does not matter what skills you have, but all how you setup your loadouts and your playing skill level. I could have the best of the best and still die to a milita kit or an LAV or something silly.
Why Sp Caps Will Work:
if they could be changed from diminishing returns to just a super large, super high cap ceiling than people wouldnt *****. you get like 80ksp a match and your limit is like 4 million, than yeah your going to get too powerful. and thus this is why Sp caps are here, to prevent people from getting to powerful.
But in all honesty isnt it fun killing the dude in protogear knowing he's just lost a ton of ISK even if it barely puts a dent in his wallet, yeah it is.
But we also have sp caps so people wont get too powerful?
Powerful? Last time I checked people are just mostly running whatever ccp gives them including exile ar's and skinweave suits.
maybe if we had match making based on your skill book, and it went by what you have unlocked and also tied into your K/d and your wins/ losses etc.
than people with protogear and ****** skills would get stuck with each other and than maybe once in a while someone high level would get stuck with people who have low skills and good gear, or how it goes in bf3.
I get stuck with higher level people all the time, but I do fairly average, I have my good matches and I have my bad matches.
problem is their is no team work in this game, even in bf3 if people run around atleast they have team work in some way, asl everykill goes towards your team or a group capture gets a flag up faster.
the problem here is we have horrible objective systems and not much variety cause CCP isnt taking advantage of whats avaiable for resources, writing messy code and just trying to link to eve.
In all honesty, who gives a kitten if people get too powerful.
That should be CCP's motto, if people are too powerful, Htfu and get over it.
in Eve, when someones too powerful and your engaged by them are you pissed at it, no you gather up your losses and go back to fighting people on your skill level.
and that is my conclusion, if its messy and wierd sorry but I had to get it down.
sorry if theirs 400 topics like this but I had to put my two cents in. |
