Change the skill cap to roll over every week. If you don't hit the cap a certain week, it gets added to the cap next time it resets. If this happens it will basically save the game from being dead due to lack of new players within 6 months. You can thank me later.

While I love this idea could you please explain how this would help bring new players to the game as apposed to the system we have now. I'm sure it would more than likely reduce or eliminate afk farming, but other than that how would it really help out new players?

+1 for the great post though.

Because instead of being forced to play so you don't fall behind every week, you'll be able to play when you want to, like an actual game should. There are going to be times when you want to take a break from dust and times where you'll want to play the **** out of it. We shouldn't be punished for not wanting to play. EVE players sure as hell don't since they can set their skills to be learned automatically (without even having to log in) since everything is 100% passive. I'd rather play the game than have it play me.

There's a difference eve is a subscription based game so if you want to pay and not log in that's on you CCP still get there cash.

You still need to log in to change a skill or to set your Queue

Even free games don't punish you for not playing a certain amount of time every week. Imagine if WoW or Diablo followed a B/S formula like this where the xp you would gain is eternally lost if you don't play. Basically, while everyone is able to get to lvl 80 you get capped out at lvl 65 with no hope of catching up.


There are apps out there that allow to do it from mobile.

This isn't new Idea so taking credit is pointless basically as pointless as this thread

Also this thread hasn't been requested dozens of times.

posting in the most important thread

There are caps in wow, dailies, raid, arena just to name a couple off the top of my head. It's not like you really lose anything, you just can't get more til next week.

Not surprising to see a Negative-Feedback member trying to take credit for something the devs already said they're working on (In one of the Merc Casts, I do believe).

Negative Feedback are DUST514's master race. Kneel nerd.

People's memories are so short.
The current SP cap system is only temporary,the long term goal is to have the rollover SP cap system. They already said this before.
This is not a new idea (should have use the search function, and bumped an existing thread), and not even in the right section.

For Negative-Feedback's sake it's a good thing you guys are so annoyingly cocky otherwise everybody would forget about y'all.

You mean other than the times we said option 2 would lead to AFKing and it did.

That the new spawn mechanic would create blob warfare that could easily be controlled and manipulated and it did

How we told you AV was going to dominate Vehicles and they do

How the game in its never ending attempt to cater to the carebears and the casuals would lead to the game losing its identity and its base. And yea thats happening too.

How faction warfare was going to lead to nothing but blue donuts and when CCP realized it they changed the numbers and even then still didnt get the forrmula 100% but at least its better than the first iteration they had going (you're welcome)


You can hate all you want but don't be mad cause we know what makes a good game and our nerds are actually good at FPS unlike yours.

It isnt cocky when you can back it up, dont worry though not like you could ever dream of owning stuff in PC so dont bother.


Evetards and MAGgots aiike tremble at your GAWDS, the wrath of NF will soon be upon you.

Wouldn't a rollover be unfair to those who did make the cap? Also, how would a rollover keep a merc interested if they are hitting the cap day 1 or 2?
And really, if you are purchasing an active booster, one is wasting money in my opinion if one is not hitting the cap and then some every week.
Then, how would a rollover be fair to those who paid for an active booster? Wouldn't an active rollover render the active booster useless until one was ready to 'catch up'?

If there were to be a rollover, I would just say just let there be no cap.

Stfu impswarm *****. I put up with the rest of them talking s**** and acting cocky, but just stop.

/snaps fingers

"hey usless dropship pilot you missed the mark, now circle back and get in me in close enough so a real soldier can get the job done, oh **** you hit a lampost, eff it im bailing and footing it".

Assuming you're not AFK

Whats worse that i AFK or that i still manage to be at the top of the boards when i do it unlike you noob?

IMP's Arguing Strategy:
1. Establish early unwarranted self importance through boastful banter and hapless trolling.
2. Wait for more IMPs to show up and engage in circle-jerk of unwarranted self importance and trolling.
3. If someone calls you out on being AFK, resort to personal attacks.
4. Repeat 1 and 2 until called out again for AFK farming.

This will only give no-lifers a bigger edge. Even no-lifers can't hit the cap every single week, so having it roll over will just enable them to get more SP in the long run than anyone else.

This will not give an edge to new players in any way. I can't believe you're even arguing that. New players will get the exact same benefit as old players from this proposed change.

Do new players get a 7 day skill booster? Maybe that's just with a pack, I dunno.

Either way, an unsellable, untradeable, use only 7 day skill booster for new players (not new clones) would help them out slightly. May even be enough incentive to grind that SP.

Realistically though, no new player is ever going to catch up to a seasoned vet, unless they specialise and get to the end of that skill tree. How it works in EVE, right? It's how it should be.

No they haven't they wouldn't have asked us to vote then. This is the final SP thing unless we take a stand and demand change.

Just a thought. Should the rollover cap reset every other week? Or just keep rolling over until you cap?

/me facepalms

Read this, I underlined and bolded the important part for you to make sure you see it.

"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(without boosters) 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."
