There was a full reset 1 week before open beta started.

Closed beta testers got 1 week head start on open beta testers with a DAILY CAP, so only the players who could log in every day and reach said cap had any "large" advantage over open beta testers, unless you have just started dust, the one week head start that the closed beta testers got as a thankyou from CCP for putting up with a the bugs and glut he's we had before now (there were so many more) is no longer an issue for players.

If you are infact just starting dust, welcome. This will be a lesson in patience for you. There is a weekly cap, and minimal sp to be gained after you reach it, it's enough for the true grinders to edge out a couple hundred thousand SP a week if they play away all day every day gaining 1000-1500 SP per match, but not so much to give no lifers a huge advantage over the rest of the group.

Trust us when we say its far better than it was when you only got 50 sp per match (without boosters) per game max once reaching the old cap. At least now you can spend those 1000-1500 SP on some low level skills that you have been neglecting while waiting for the weekly cap to reset on Wednesday.

I have a 30 day active boost from the merc pack if I max out every week in 4 days that's like 10 000 aur wasted no?

Hey thank you, I get it, at the time I was like like this sucks but it makes sense to grind lv 1 an 2 s once the cap bust an save the big gain for the higher levels until you pointed it out I was thinking early starters got to max high levels right away and the rest of us got popped with caps, but if they only got a week plus all the bugs that's not as bad as I was thinking. Cuz I thought the cap was to slow down the die hards but affectin new players in the process but it makes sence now thank you

I typed out a bunch of calculations but then decided that explaining the situation wasn't going to be productive. The extra 95200 SP you gained before the cap is the advantage you bought. Like I said I'm new and hardly claiming to understand how the system works now or how it used to or trying to irritate anyone I'm new to the game an new to forums and this is my first post or question in a forum ever. I just want to understand how it works and was just inquiring from experienced players so thanks for the info I get it

I bought a 3 day active booster for my extended weekend and hit the cap shortly thereafter. Yeah I get that I can still grind and get 1.5k rather than 1k sp per match but it seems like a lot of wasted cash. Ya I'm with you on this! 7000 aur for three days use I cap by sat an that's not even playing a lot , if you play well you et capped Fast nothing worse then doing your best ever an getting 1500 sp lol

Well I just don't see the cap point, in a real war there's gonna be more experiencedsoldiers so weather there's a cap or not dudes will always be ahead the point of the booster is to get the most out of every time you play an their still adding more skills an suits an everything else to keep the die hards busy so if nobody can see that capping is a creative way to constantly make people buy boosters an spend aur to get the gear they don't have the sp to get cuz of the cap then your blind it's a scam plain an simple, there will always be a huge gap between players an new people are totally rationed on how quickly they get to prevent themselves from dying constantly an are force to aur up to stay alive, am I the only one that sees the con?
