The last thing we need is for it to only cater to people who have time to cap a character in one day, and screw those of us who play throughout the week. This also tells those people they shouldn't play at all at the start of the week, so they don't waste their cap.
I am frankly amazed this passed any sort of check to prevent CCP from being stupid. It's missing the one piece of feedback we've all universally agreed is needed, and put in a bunch of things that screw everyone else. One of the concerns that came up in feedback about the 7 day cycle was that it meant people had to play every day to earn the maximum reward. So it's the same amount that you would get over 7 days, just condensed to 3. Allowing for a more concentrated weekend event. Give it a try, see what you think - we look forward to your feedback!
Are you referring to the normal seven day cycle that exists for the normal weekly cap? I don't think anyone has a problem with that, so I wonder if the concern you're referring to has been misinterpreted. During the last SP event the cap was doubled, but the amount earned per game was the same. It was the extended cap, not the seven day cycle that was the problem. This meant that you had to play to your usual cap and beyond to even participate in the event, and if you wanted to optimize your SP earnings then you had to play twice the amount of time, in hours, as you would normally have to. This meant that only people who had a lot of free time could get to the intended bonus. This was different from the SP events we are use to where you play exactly as long as normal, but the games give three times the amount. Even if the games only gave twice the amount, I do believe the first and simplest system was the most appreciated by the players. It might have had critics, but there will always be critics and it was a far greater event than these new events.
Also, the claim that this event would yield the same amount of SP as the last event is just false by my math, assuming I even understand what was described.
When I read about this event I had the same exact concerns others here have had. As I tried to understand the way this event was being execute I automatically thought of how I would have to not play for the first days of 1.4 and how I was going to have to play nothing but ambush to maximize my benefit from this event. I thought I was crazy until I returned to this thread and read that everyone responding to it had the same concerns. What is worse is that those who have not read this thread will not know that there is an event and will almost have reached their cap by the time they even know there is an event. Another issue is that we're REPEATING mistakes that were JUST made. Wasn't there an emergency cap reset after we realized that a SP event didn't happen on the day of the usual cap reset? Some people lucked out big on that blunder, getting 6x SP while the rest of us got the intended 3x if I'm not mistaken.
I do appreciate the effort and the attention to our feedback! In all of my experience as a gamer no other company is this involved with their players. The longevity of your games is a testament to that. Thank you! |

How can you earn 3000 SP after the weekly cap? After the cap, you can only earn 1000, right? That's what he said, you earn 3000 SP worth of experience, however because of the weekly cap, you only get 1000 + an additional 1000 or 1500 based on weather you have a booster on or not.
They were very specific about boosters, but he didn't mention if the 3000 was with boosters or not, so maybe we're suppose to earn 2000 or less with booster, making each game 3,000 or less total.... This event is getting out of control already, lol. OMG! Someone put on the breaks! |

CCP figured out how to kill their most active two days of their game for the week. We're looking into this! We'd ideally want to make it so that you're not going to have a situation like this. I'd like to say that this isn't going to be an issue - but I'm going to want to confirm before promising anything. :)
I'd just like to add that if we're going to have two cap resets this week please TELL US so that we don't miss out on a 4x SP week. |
