I've posted this in multiple places, but it deserves it's own thread.

Realistically speaking this option makes the most sense, and pleases all parties. The weekly cap keeps everybody somewhat on a level playing field. This is great for people who can't play everyday, and it alleviates DUST being a full time job. I believe once you hit your weekly cap 1 WP = 1 SP. This would allow your performance to be directly tied to how many skill points you get from the battle.

After hitting the weekly cap 1 WP= 1 SP, Allows for the hardcore players to feel as if they aren't being punished for playing a game that they enjoy. This also allows for newer players to somewhat catch up to everybody else if they not only put the time into the game, but also are somewhat decent at it.

However though, when behind a redline you shouldn't get any WP's for any actions you perform, because hiding behind the redline destroys the pacing of the game, and generally speaking is a sissy thing to do.

The problem with the weekly cap is it ensures that newer players will NEVER be given the opportunity to catch up to people who have been playing longer, let alone have a somewhat even playing field. CCP needs to quit catering the game to a "casual" player-base that doesn't exist. Zipper did the same thing with MAG, and most of us know all too well what happened with that. In many ways, the weekly cap was broken, and linked progression directly with long you've played versus how good you actually are.

At the very least, Option 5 needs to be tested. It's the only option that not only rewards players for actually being good, but it allows for newer players to be given the opportunity to somewhat level the playing field, and somewhat close the gap between themselves and older players. Option 5 is "rollover" without CCP having to put "rollover" in the game.

In regards to active boosters, they will actually perform their job, and allow people to do more faster. Currently all the active booster really does it raise your daily SP cap a bit. However once hitting the cap with 1 WP = 1 SP it will actually feel as if you are getting your moneys worth out of the active booster. Thus people will ultimately spend more money on the active boosters. I don't think people realize that by voting for option 2 they are allowing CCP to rob them out of the purpose of their active booster which is to do more faster, versus paying to raise an SP cap.

TL;DR by voting for anything other than option 5 you are letting CCP rob you out of your active booster.

Option 2 fits my play habits better. Get over it.

-1 guy I've had to many 3 and 4k games to even consider that an option. not to mention the fact that unless it devolves into a redline sniper match you almost have to try to stay below 1.5k. 1SP=1WP would ruin this games shelf life.

So this game should cater to your playing habits? Selfish don't you think?

Lol, 3 and 4k SP games. That's in Skirmish, which lasts far longer than an Ambush match.

All the 1k SP soft cap will do is to drive everyone into Ambush matches because they're faster than Skirmish matches.

Has the current cap had that effect? I've certainly had no trouble finding full skirmish matches.

CCP asked for players to vote and you're calling him selfish because he chose the option he agreed with more?

Can you smell what hypocrisy is cookin'?

You should have to earn sp not be told how much you can have then have a limit no matter how well you do, you still get the same amount. That's is selfish to limit someone else cause you are not as good as the other player

Option #2 does not limit the amount SP you can earn it just limits the speed at which you earn it. Which is in an attempt to keep the game toward the speed of skill progression where CCP wants it.

I think that if option #5 wins in the votes and is implemented the weekly cap will be reduced due to the amount of SP you will be able to earn after you hit cap compared to to option #2.

When something says cap on it, it means they are going to limit how much you can earn. If they wanted it that way why did CCP of all people say that they were going with no cap (1wp=1sp)

What ruins this games shelf life is the broken FW, lack of game types, and the need to play everyday to keep up

With regards of the title, paying for AUR is still an optional thing. I've only ever payed for AUR twice and that was only for two one-day boosters. I still enjoy the game. If you, the OP, have any objection to paying CCP for AUR, then don't do it.


I don't really see how you can say that when it was just a couple of days ago released in open beta. I'm sure CCP devs have more important things to worry about at the minute. Sure, it can get a tad boring with two game types but it's a game. When a game gets boring, don't play it for a few days or weeks until you feel you'll enjoy it again. It's really your own fault if you're getting bored with Dust.

I will put this simply:

with option #2 newer players will have no chance to catch up to veteran players since both will max out their sp cap every week

with option #5 newer players will have a slight chance to catch up by playing better and getting more wp with better skill, since this game is about skill right?



also look at Battlefield 3, currently if you dont buy the shortcut pack, you are at a disadvantaged because you have limited guns and no scopes on all guns, but if you play the objectives well and scoring points eventually you will catch up with other players

Lol good troll.... If you were serious... Get off me fanboy.
