Sounds like active boosters may not be needed after 1-2 days?

Or will the maxium be 1500 SP with boosters? Not real clear in the post.

Will totally be 1500 with boosters

Dear players,

Thank you for voting on the following options on the Skill Point system. We carefully followed the discussion and the voting process, and in the upcoming days we will be deploying the following system to the server:


Weekly skill point cap of 190.400 SP (without boosters) from fighting in battles
Players who have maxed out their cap will receive 1 SP per warpoint up to a limit of 1.000 SP per each battle


We chose to go with Option #2 (limiting skill points earned to a maximum of 1.000 SP per battle after the cap has been hit) as it was both the safer and the most popular option among the players. We will monitor the situation after the changes are live and look forward to receiving feedback from you. Once again, we would like to remind you that weekly skill point rollover system is being worked on and that this is just the temporary solution that we are implementing.

Thank you once again for your participation and feedback!

We will see you on the battlefield.

If you learn to read, it says a max of 1000sp AFTER the cap limit has been reached. Perfectly clear.

EDIT; Or would you prefer the 50sp cap??

And he's asking if that will be 1500 with booster. Learn to read

I would love to know that too.

Also, going to be grinding the **** out of ambushes now.

it would be 1500 with a booster
and to the guy that said the game will be over in 5 months.......lolno
why is it everyone thinks so short term and its all about SP SP SP SP for them

sigh

Some people are just so fixated on the SP breadcrumb trail they're missing the bigger picture. Their loss.

Just my take on what's been said, and until we get concrete clarification from a dev/gm either of us could be right.

It sounds like instead of a daily cap of 27,200sp earned through games, we now have a weekly cap earned through games of 27,200sp * 7= 190,400sp a week Without boosters

that weekly sp cap that can be earned through games is increased by the booster to 40,200sp a day * 7 = 281,400sp a week.

So in a given week you can earn a total of 190,400sp without boost (281,400sp with boost)



Once you reach the maximum amount of sp in a given week you than fall under the sp cap in which you can earn a maximum but not more than 1000sp a game.

so those with an sp boost will reach the per game cap of 1000sp that much easier and quicker, but nobody will get more than a 1000sp a game once they have reached there sp cap.

This is just my take on it and I'm happy what ever turns out to be correct.

You forget why we play video games. Dopamine. Reward systems in games increase the amount of dopamine we get. But when the reward system is tortuous like the 50sp cap, it turns the dopamine reward system into an addiction system with withdrawal effects aka cortisol.

The fact that this soft cap has no variability for match length and performance at only the lowest threshold is complete fail. I'll miss skirmish :(

I doubt that this downtime marked the change. Maybe tomorrow?

And there is a LOT more content coming. As soon as you think you've maxed out your character, new **** will come out.

Remember, this is just a temporary fix until they can do a broader recoding.

Love how people QQ, saying they won't play skirmish now cause you can earn more SP from Ambush. What about those people who don't hit 1000 SP while doing Ambush, I see quite a few mercs not hitting that number in Ambush but they probably could in a Skirmish, also people were playing Skirmish when you got only 50 SP, with that way of thinking we should have just kept the 50 SP cap if people think skirmish is now a raw deal.


Hearing some of the communities grumbling, this is the best option by far and could only imagine what option 5 would have done to the game. Funny how so many people only care for the SP so much so that they would only play one game type to keep up their grind.

On the topic of is it going to be 1000 plus booster making it 1500 or if 1000 SP cap is just that, my money is on 1500 with boosters, would bet large sums of isk on this.

i always envisioned SP boosters to be a boost to the speed u gain sp not the amount.

higher SP cap with a booster that u can only get by paying money reeks of a pay-to-win mindset.
identical SP cap with a booster but not having to spend as many hours grinding for that SP sounds much more fair, less like pay-to-win and more understandable to the scenario to which boosters were meant to be for (people who cannot play all the time, work during the week and can afford buying aurum to use for boosters and other items)

people who use aurum already have an edge with aurum only items that are comparable to non aurum items, but require less SP to use. why the double buff to people using aurum? (lower skill req's + more SP per week)
