option 5 is best

give a chance for people who are away to continue growing

Would be funny if cmdr Wang is just doing this for the likes, you guys liked him over a thousand times. Cmdr Wang officially has the most likes.

As an Arbitor I have SMG. Yet I have to spend a chuck of SP to use a Milita Assault Rifle. Why not have a nerfed version of the assault rifle or beginners rifle so even as an Aribitor, Sniper, or Heavy Weapons I could try the weapon out.

I would love to play with the Heavy Machine gun. Yet I would hae to spend a lot of SP to "try" it out. Allow a Weapons 1 version that is nerfed for players who are not heavy weapons specilist?

Just thoughts. I feel like there is so much to DUST and I can do 80% of it becuase I do not have the SP or skills.

#2 Does mean after the weekly cap has been reached WP=SP right.

Option #2

2) Weekly cap with an increased soft cap

((( Option #6 No cap )))

with caps is not important if i do a good match or not, I take always the same SP, I'm the only one that think that have no sense???

Dear players,

Continuing our philosophy of developing our games in collaboration with the player base, we would like to engage with you on the topic of skill points, based on the lively discussion here on the forums and your detailed feedback on what changes you would like to see applied to our current skill point reward system. Your comments and concerns are important to us and we are taking steps to address them as soon as we can.

We are well aware of the fact that the daily/weekly skill point rollover system is the favorite amongst the community, and we are implementing such a system aimed at the next major release. However, the change to add a roll over system is not immediately possible. The five options that we can apply in the immediate short term are the following:

1)Daily cap with an increased soft cap
2)Weekly cap with an increased soft cap
3)No changes to the current system (daily cap + low soft cap)
4) Daily cap with no limit on the soft cap
5) Weekly cap with no limit on the soft cap

Internally we are leaning towards a weekly cap, as it offers the closest alternative to a roll over system. As with a roll over system, a weekly cap allows players to better choose when to play within each week without having to jump in every day to secure all possible skill points.

The increased soft cap would entail rewarding one skill point for each warpoint after the normal daily or weekly cap has been hit, up to the increased soft cap (currently 50 SP, we will raise it to 1000 SP per match). This is to provide an incentive towards playing well even after the cap has been reached and make the play experience after hitting the cap better. We are also considering another alternative, which is to *not* have a cap (of 1k) on the soft cap, so, after weekly cap is hit, you still get 1 SP per WP at end of match. We would like to hear which of these you like better as well (cap on the soft cap vs no cap on soft cap).

In order to vote, please click GÇ£LikeGÇ¥ button in the following GÇ£5GÇ¥ replies in this thread and tell us what you would like to see implemented to the game immediately.

We would like to remind you that these changes do not represent the final skill point system and that we are still working hard on getting to the fully polished rollover system later on.

Thank you for all your feedback so far, and we are looking forward to your votes.

I think you two are looking for #5 instead of #2.

5) Weekly cap with no limit on the soft cap
This would mean that if you get over 1000WP, you will get over 1000WP since there is no limit on the soft cap. This option gives incentive for players to do well after they hit the soft cap and rewards them for it.

Did you people not read the announcement ?


You don't get 1000 sp if you don't earn it ... 1sp for 1wp ... if you get one kill and sit in the MCC as someone suggested you'll get 50wp and leave the match with 50sp

So every sp you get has to be earned ... but anything you earn over the soft cap isn't converted to sp.

Have I made it simple enough for you ?

Whilst I would have leaned towards a 1000sp a match fix when cap is reached if you removed the time = wp that leads to sp farming then option 5 has the most appeal to me.

Thanks for listening to us!

PS! Enjoy your likes ;)

Option 5

Thoughts:

Most players in the FPS world are use to multiple types of player builds (the rifleman, heavy weapons, sniper, medic) THis option is available for any player to play with the dropship starter kits.

Would it be prudent to nerf all starter kits and early skills to allow players to experiement?

In the teaser videos and game play videos you always see vehicles and ships. Yet, while playing they are used very rarely. I would love to play around with the ship I recieved post game salvage. However, I would have to spend so much SP to just "try" it. The current system seems to be all or none.

Proposal: Modify starter skills, weapons, and vehilces so any player may try every variant at a sub-base level.

Just thoughts. I feel like there is so much to DUST and I can do 80% of it becuase I do not have the SP or skills.

In EVE Online I could mine and run missions to my hearts delight to gain ISK and SP to try things. There was never a ceiling on what I could do. If there are ceilings and limits then I think you will lose players. At some point people will stop paying a few dollars here and there becuase it is not economical to pay $10.00 or 10000 arb for a gun or blueprint. I'm not.

Bottom line I was severally annoyed when I got 50 SP after my best game of the night.
