Wait, not to call you out or anything but did you actually read the entire post? Or did someone jingle keys in front of you and distract you?
Basically what he is saying is that the two options are very similar. But that the 1000 sp per match soft cap after the initial soft cap will just funnel more players into ambush because sp earnings over time mean that you can potentially gain 2000 sp in ambush in the time it takes to make 1000 sp in skirmish, if the new 1000 soft cap after initial cap is put into place.
I am not sure it really matters in the long run.
One because it is temporary, and two because outside of a very few full time dedicated sp grinders, people play the different modes based on a lot of different reasons, not just for the SP.
But I agree with the OP and chose 5 to begin with because I think it is fair, reasonable, and makes sense to award players for their WP earning after they reach the cap. Based on their gameplay. Adding another cap after the cap seems like a lot of fussing around for no real reason. And I think players should be able to bring in SP after the cap playing the mode they like the best, based on how well they do. End of story.
It has nothing to do with "unlocks" and many players who are maxing out SP have long term goals of being the most competitive merc possible in the huge universe of warefare that we are all looking forward to. (edit* or have a favorite fitting that they were able to get easily in days gone by and just want to get back to that favorite fitting...)
Maybe a few corps just want to roll around in tanks pub stomping, but many other mercs want a competive edge for eventual EVE contracts, tournaments, or maybe they just want to rule the galaxy from the ground...
Edit* For the record I am not a "hardcore" player. I spend a lot of time on DUST and have a couple different characters, but that is my own f'n business. Also I kind of suck at FPS games compared to a lot of players. I rarely earn 1000 sp anyway. Much less 2000 plus. But the whole SP cap drama is really more or less irrelevant. I feel SP should require patience and hard work and careful planning to accumulate and use wisely. Someone's always going to have more SP though. And if SP is the end all be all of DUST the game has far bigger problems than whether or not there is a flat cap at 1000 per game no matter the game mode or if it is just based on WP... |
