What differnce does it make? we're all in the same boat, the SP costs apply to us all. Now it just means you have to ACTUALLY play to EARN your top tier stuff. People are making the tactical error here in thinking CCP just wants a pure FPS game.

Too many people have become comfy with games like COD where the prospect of having to earn something is beyond people. In comparison to EVE, the game this game was made to support doesn't have active SP, so be happy you even get that.

So it's harder to get your toys, on other FPS games I don't beleive people kick off because they have to wait a bit longer to get their next gun.

But if the idea off earning your gear is too much I'm sure that copy of COD or KZ collecting Dust on your shelf will be happy to take you back.

Here's the problem: it upsets the veterans who have worked for months to get this gear and it makes this game even harder for new players bc itll take 4 months to get proto gear.

I think it's good that proto stuff is harder to get.

Proto suits are the best of the best on the market, it makes sense that you need a good amount of time and specialization to get it.
You think that takes time? Start a new eve account and train for a titan. THAT requires time

eve is not a FPS, when eve becomes a FPS this might hold water to this idea till then its means nothing.

so you support AFKing and why people AFK and feel like it should actually empower AFKing.

I actually agree, considering they're both MMOs.

I think you're forgetting that.

I'd be up for CCP takin passive SP away and leaving only active, so you only get literally what you earn through play. AFK'ers are kicking over CCP's sandcastle as they build it

but you feel luck that we even get active sp... are you confused or do you just not understand what you said until someone point out how wrong of a statement it really was. which side are you on?

Hello don't ignore my post. You are only going to able to train 30% of the total number of skills in dust, if you start now and play untill you die an old man in a hospital. Have you people lost it ???

Dropsuits should be sp cost x4 at most. Keeping dust at no more than 20 years of skills should be a god damn poster in the dev offices. I'm sickened, this better not still be around in 2-3 months becuase after testing the new build you won't he seeing wasting my time

Btw 40 years of hitting the cap every week with boosters is 20880 hours of gametime to unlock all the dropsuits. Also 10400$ of boosters

This is not counting any weapons or other skills you might want

Dont see why anyone will want to get all protosuits , lets hope atleast in uprising you get more sp in matches

There are now 80 years of skill training in dust 514 and it will increase to 160 very soon. That is... with boosters.... sigh....

It takes 40 years to max out all 24 proto type suits across every race.

To note, it only takes 177 days from a fresh account to max into a titan . Meaning you could max out all 4 titans skills before maxing out three dropsuits. I literally give up, for real, I'm not playing this game if this is the plan .

Also CCP has stated from the begining that in Dust there will be at least years 7 years worth of skills, so everybody knew what he was getting into...

Sorry didn't mean to seem rude didn't see ya post bud. I see what your saying, it may take awhile to get ALL proto suits but why would you? CCP is trying to make players specialise in a set role, meaning you can't hybrid class yourself without penalty. Dust we actually play to earn our SP, where as in EVE you have to wait pretty much.

I'm assuming you taken into account that Dust gives active and passive SP as well as throwing in holidays where we can earn more. Where as EVE you only get passive sp. How did you come to your conclusion btw, did you use weekly caps as a basic ref and worked out how long it'd take literally to get Proto on all suits?

The game is harder now for new people becuase of the so many people that are in protosuits now this actually gives them a fighting chance because there will be so little people in proto gear, its that simple , people see soething and they go straight for the negatives without thinking about the positives thats the problem

If the rumored numbers are right and my calculations are correct, then it should take about 3 months to get a full specialized proto suit (without boosters). I know that's longer than now, but I think that's a pretty fair amount if time. They're the best equipment in the game, it should take a while to get them and you shouldn't expect to be able to get them all in my opinion.

That was with the old system, this new one takes 40 years
