If you treat a game like this, how are you at your job?

I realize Dust's persistence, scope, and vision are all exciting and the future of the FPS genre, but remember when games didn't give you XP/SP or even log your stats and people played just for fun and to get better? Yeah, those were crazy times.

After you hit the SP cap, direct your focus to ISK acquisition. If you give up at 1000WP then you'll be surpassed by those who haven't maxed their SP and thus get a smaller share of the ISK. Even if you've already got a ludicrous amount of ISK, just try to keep your earnings at a consistent level. Pick a statistic (or all) and try to work on it. Just make sure if it's KD/R that you're not going after it to such a degree that it's detrimental to your team. I'm just throwing these out there as a alternatives you can play for, I know they're not as enticing an incentive as notching SP.

You don't find the battles actually fun by themselves?

Well, you'll go on another game after hiting the cap ? Does it sound good to u ? And stop QQing when we have a viable TEMPORARY solution.

How am I having fun if I know every WP i get over 1,000 is useless?
Glory for the leaderbord ? Stats ? When you're the 1st one on pub match and on the win side, you got the most ISK !!!

what's my incentive to revive teammates for those few extra SP?
Save team8 ISK/AUR ? Run the objectif with the most people you've got ? Revive a medic that will revive you a second after ?

What's my incentive to repair ****?
To have always a heavy alive in front of you, taking bullets ? Oh yes sorry, you're the type of guy who stop repairing when you hit the SP time limitation, wait for it to come back, then repair again ... You're not a teamplayer...

to hack objectives?
Win the game ?

to win a random pub objective game?
Glory ? Leaderboard ? ISK ?

You'll have to excuse me if that doesn't motivate me very much.
Well, MMO is not for you !!! Go try something else !!!

Nothing else to say... This game is not for you.

I spend 3k a clone on equipment ie the worst sorta gear. I work 9-5 so my SP total is on the low side. Does it stop me going 37-4 25-1 12-0 15-6, on a regular basis. Does it stop my team from winning more than we lose? (only just above 1 but thats just pub matches for you)


The answer to these questions is no, and do you know why?

FPS games are about twitch skill and positioning. You can have your 100,000,000,000,000 SP you can have your Special Proto gear that 20% better than mine, but do you know what you cannot shoot through walls and if you cannot aim at my avatar then guess who will be wasting another expensive clone. That would be YOU. So hide behind your red line with you 1k SP cap and lets see who dominates in 3 months time through pure practise alone.


Look at my last post in this thread for the calculator game, look right up your street.....

Now we are getting somewhere, slowly you're understanding, An ever increasing number is pointless as far as "Fun" goes.

Lets put it another way.

FPS mark 1 - You destroy your enemies 10-1, you get all objectives, make 100 repairs and revive 50 people.
FPS mark 1 rewards you with 10SP

FPS mark 2 - You destroy your enemies 10-1, you get all objectives, make 100 repairs and revive 50 people.
FPS mark one rewards you with 10000000000SP

Which game is more fun?

Its all about fun why are you worried about SP?


So let imagine there is no cap You destroy your enemies 10-1, you get all objectives, make 100 repairs and revive 50 people.
your rewarded with 10000000000SP now you bought all skills in the game and they are all at level 5, you have SP left over. Is the game no longer any fun? If so save your self some time and take the capitalise advice your think we were giving you "UNINSTALL NOW" before you waste your time.


But it is looking like the calculator game is for you, the game is irrelevant you just want a way to flex your epeen ie "look at me a play 24 hours I day and I have a bigger number than you arn't I awesome."

Your arguments are not making any sense olPlease clearly spell out your issue with out all im leet gamer bravado

Last time I checked, ppl played games for fun, not to QQ about the game being too fair for ppl with a little less skill.

when you max out all skills and stop gaining sp will you be done with the game?

King Kobrah, I feel it necessary to tip my hat to you sir. trolling 4 pages without being called on it is no small feat! you deserve an internet for using others zealous logic, honor and rationality against them. you sure showed them who's the higher evolved life form! If only more people could put their own desires before the desires of others, this world would be a happier place!

Furthermore, mudkips. i herd u liek them.

You kept them distracted by your constant referral to "the average player" who was "keeping you back" when you knew full well that it was really CCP limiting your rate of progress so you wouldn't max out the skill tree before they had a chance to deepen it.

Congratulations on putting them on the defensive when they aren't a defining factor in CCP's decision!
