No Rewards for "Bonus SP"? Anyone feeling ripped off?

[Yumi_Hibiki]

i never hit surplus once so i dont really care, im glad its going away for the people that had problems with it thou.

[Azurymber]

Not true. They considered the possibility of that, but never stated it as a clear-cut and ready-for-implementation idea. Btw: it never said "Bonus EXP" in the Japanese version. That was just a translation for US crybabies.

so basically they lied to the US players to get them to keep playing..... which is exactly the problem i have.

And yes i realize they never straight out said they would implement rewards but they definitely suggested they would and the "bonus" naming convention was kind of a promise. Because you got bonus points in the game....

[SuzakuCMX]

No, never heard of it, sounds stupid anyways.

Glad it's gone, though I only hit it once or twice. It was really annoying.

[JunkPunch]

They get rid of surplus and people still complain, lol.

^ we all knew it was bound to come lol.

And to the op, no I don't feel ripped off. Tbh, I'd rather feel ripped off that nothing came of the surplus system, and see it abolished. Than leave the system in place, with the what if hanging over head.

??? what? So is that the reason you kept on playing? And here I thought holding on to beast coins was a pipe dream.

no it's just kind of lame to misrepresent a bad part of the game and make people feel like they are benefiting from leveling through fatigue. If there really was no purpose for "bonus" points then they basically just lied to players to keep them playing by changing surplus to bonus.

Screw that i'm more worried about durability penalty on gear when using return =O

[Petori]

It was just an empty promise so that penalty would feel worth it. Good riddance.

Death Penalty FTW!!!

If they had calculated my surplus sp, and then gave it back to me, my thm would be rank 50, and my conj would probably be rank 36 or 38 (have not worked it into fatigue half as hard as my thm) My arc would be 30 probably. Not that I"m bitching its just a thought about how much sp was lost during that hideous time in XIV dark ages and a "dark age of gaming" LOL. Anyways glad its gone. We couldn't "choose" how we wanted to play if we couldn't even do a hardcore grind session without hitting fatigue. Sayonara!



I'll be talking to new people in 3 years like,

me: you used to lose experience when you leveled, it wasn't when you died" (in a "I walked 10 miles to school in the snow" kinda voice) "Conjurer and Thaumaturge used to be able to cross class all abilities from 1-50 almost

new people: omg wow

me: There weren't chocobos for almost a year after release, and exp used to "sp" and there were physical levels, stats were broken, and worst off, there was action based sp!

new people: STOP YOUR SCARING US, I can't believe it.
