PSA: 990 rec cap limit

[VelxraTV]

Found out today after wasting a few matches that the cap limit for rec points is 990. They just vanish after this point.

What are the limits for the other resources? If anyone has reached them.

[VelxraTV]

So no one else has reached any limit yet?

Apparently the cap for armoury data is 20 per type.

Sucks to see but it is typical retention tactics. No game can just rely on being fun we have to be manipulated some how.

Yeah, I've reached it a few times and then you recieve no rewards from further req. I try to hover around 500 req and then spend when I get to 700 unlocking more chapters. You'll find that you reach caps really fast once you hit max level on a class or once you have purchased all the variants of your favorite weapon.

I've said this before in a similar thread, and I'm going to say it again. WHAT do you need to buy ALL AT THE SAME TIME, that you need to hold more than a 1000 requisition or 20 armory data at the same time? If the limits were restrictive so you could only buy a few things at a time with the limited resources, this would be a problem. But it isn't. You can buy HALF THE ARMORY with the amount of points you can get, and by the time you unlock the other half, you'll have earned up to the point cap again. So WHAT'S THE PROBLEM AGAIN, other than "I don't like number not go up infinity"

Yeah helldivers has this same problem. Look how dead it became...

It means late game there will be nothing to really do once everything is maxed out. Not gaining anything in a grind game is pretty dull. Just let us unlock what we want because we already earned the points.

Yeah I think I will do the same around 700

But the only reason you reach the cap is because you DON'T unlock anything.

Just let go of this obsession to have enough points to unlock every single thing in one go. That obsession being blocked is not the reason why Helldivers 2 lost its playerbase.

Helldivers 2 devs lost their players by having a completely wrong approach to balancing the player weapons.

How about you just let go of long term play-ability with that mindset. Because artificial caps are how to speed run draining a playbase.

I've reached it a few times too. And frankly speaking, this amount is annoying. It is less than I would like. At least 2000 would be normal.

Weapons at "craft" and "relic" categories are expensive.
Initially, I wanted to reach all the weapons in the craft category on all characters, and then open everything at once en masse. But the game with a limit of 990 points does not give such an opportunity. I had to open craft weapons sequentially.

A good example of why low cap limits hurt the user experience

So new reason to dislike these limits. Im forced to buy armor unlocked and suffer through going into each tab to hover my mouse over the item so the notification goes away.

After a dozen times this needs annoying.
