cap resets are wednesday remember? We're all most likely still capped out until wednesday

Honestly, because of all the SP sinks we have to get through to spec into decent fittings I think the current system is woefully ineffective. I think the cap should be done away with altogether, but the end rewards cut in half. This way we can still get the SP we need all through the week. Sure, those who are really dedicated to the game will get more, but with how much everything costs they won't be rocketing ahead.

I've been here since closed beta. I understand when caps are reset. I am talking about changing the current system only in the way i suggested. Feel free to reread ;)

TL;DR

Things I am not saying:
- change the cap
- change the schedule

The thing I am saying:
- change the post capped maximum per match to 3K/4.5k w/booster up from 1k/1.5k w/ booster.

Actually with the SP sink that they have created in the suits (takes 5 mill to spec into proto suits now instead of 2.5 mill) they should definitely at minimum double the rewards and cap of the SP per week. Right now with the currect SP sink we have it would take a new player 14 weeks if they saved all of their SP and capped every week just to get into proto suits. That is not including all the core skills and weapons skills and everything else needed. If you want a game that has constant progression then this game will not give it to you with the current lvls of the SP sink.

What's the rush? Plenty of stuff to do IRL once you reach the cap, no?

Did you all just forget that they spent most of Fanfest detailing how they're going to be moving towards adding a point to Dust, and that the first step isn't even implemented yet. Factional Warfare is just the start, and it's a natural progression to make the higher stakes/less frequent fights give out more rewards.

I don't think many of us have the time or inclination to grind out endless, pointless, instant battles for a year, but bumping up the SP flow isn't the solution. The solution is raising the stakes and giving people rare and juicy pinatas to swing for instead of a constant mind-numbing grind towards nothing in particular. Practice, get up to speed on the big changes this build, pick a class carefully, and be patient. Same as always.

the assault DS or the usual?

I have no idea wtf you are trying to say.


Try again.

Okay, let me tl;dr that for you: Do you really think a year from now long term players are still going to be running an endless string of instant battles two days a week to grind toward a meaningless, imaginary skill finish line?

Let me also answer that for you: No. CCP will use the same template for Dust they used for Eve: Higher stakes, higher rewards. As of next week the first step on the ladder will be added. From there, things will escalate.
