So been hammering this for months but it tends to fall out of sight because of all the balance issues. We've waited months for the Rollover system that was the intended iteration of the SP system. The current system is the temporary system in place until that rollover system could be implmented.

https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=52633 What sad is this was posted in february and rollover was targeted for release on Uprising which wold have been the next major release. Now i get that there is a lot of other issues that are taking away from iterating a rollover system, or perhaps its been abandoned altogether.

But lets face it the dev resources needed for rollover could be completely eliminated by removing the SP Cap outright. The intention of trying to limit the gap between casual and hardcore players is instead creating a larger vacuum between new and veteran players. The delay in time to get into fighting shape often leads to discouragement and most wont even take the time. Moreover given the low pool of players to begin with it creates stagnation at the top as the veterans have to wait for new competition to arise.

IT has created almost a system of educational classes where each new crop of players is like a freshman class that is forever behind the seniors and when the seniors graduate(leave the game) the freshman move up but in the end all you have is a non-cycling conveyor of players with no retention at both the bottom and the top. So instead of growth in the playerbase all you are getting is a steady state and over time will result in decline.


Getting rid of the SP CAP has far more benefits at the bottom then it has deleterious effects at the top. It really is time to just get rid of it already.

I'm guessing that getting rid of the SP cap is not likely since that would cut months of potential booster purchases from new players. CCP would be throwing away money.

It was a dumb idea the last 20 times someone suggested this. It still is.

I'd say fix the skill tree so it's not a linear SP sink and either make SP 100% passive (with new players gaining SP faster) or finally implement the SP rollover we were promised.

Truthfully, getting rid of active SP in favor of full passive SP is a much better option for Dust than removing the cap.

Oh, and my quest to raise awareness about diversity and true balance is something CCP should be focusing on, not just me.

this I never want to see, if people don't play after capping out now, why would they play at all if it's passive, they'd show up play 1 or 2 games then leave.

The game needs to be fun to play. Masking that with an SP grind is part of the problem. Removing the SP cap will just add to the grind feel of Dust, and make it feel like a job.

Passive SP only would get rid of afkers and solve other problems as well, including the grind.

Here's a better solution. Move Dust to PC ^_^ (then bring it to ps4 since you are going to remove the turn cap on KB/m I believe)

Yeah, if they get rid of the cap, they should just get rid of Active SP.

If they simply get rid of the cap, then the no-lifers will no-life it up.

No-lifers are bad m'kay?

If there wasn't a cap I'd start buying boosters again but atm its a ******* waste lmao hit the cap in a few hours well theres a week of booster gone
