Bendtner92 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1212	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:22:00 - [1] - Quote Once again they somehow managed to make a SP event a massive grind. Instead of just triple all active SP they've only tripled the 1 WP = 1 SP part. CCP Eterne wrote: Passive battle SP is not increased, it's only active battle SP that is increased. Link For information, there's two parts to active SP: 1: There's the 1 WP = 1 SP part as outlined above. This part will be tripled. 2: Then there's the 1 second in battle = 5 SP part. This part will NOT be tripled, and funnily enough this part is where the majority of your active SP comes from. When does CCP learn from their mistakes?

THE GREY CARDINAL PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 217	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:28:00 - [4] - Quote I would love a week of AFK triple SP farmers who sit in the MCC getting triple SP for nothing. Great idea! Make it happen CCP!
Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL The Ascendancy 366	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:28:00 - [5] - Quote I knew CCP would screw us over on this one, particularly when they failed to clarify after several requests on the initial thread.

Kasote Denzara A Vulture 675	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:32:00 - [8] - Quote WP for SP will only be relevant when you get more SP for doing something than not doing something like it is now. You benefit from not playing Dust 514. The only reason people are against meta-based matchmaking is, well, they're too bad to fight anything but mlt. Scrubs.

You're wrong on all accounts. They have a "working" anti-AFK system in place (well they really don't, so you're right about that). Instead of triple the passive part they could just increase the active part even more so that it would actually BE a triple SP event. What I mean is: 1 second in battle = 5 SP - x1 mulitplier (normal rate). 1 WP = 1 SP - x6 multiplier. That would be closer to a triple SP event. The current one isn't even a double SP event.

The community has been demanding that those SP not be awarded, as it causes people to AFK. Where have you been?? CCP has actually done this one right for a change. Get with the program. Okay, so the legitimate players who don't AFK have to play around 2x as much as normal (or more, depending on how many WP they earn) to hit the cap this week, just so the people who AFK are "punished" by having to AFK for 3x as long? Do you really think AFKers are just sitting at their PS3 watching the killfeed or something? This just means they have to deal with the minor inconvenience of queueing themselves into battles and rubberbanding in the MCC for two days more while doing whatever else they do when they AFK. MAYBE they won't be able to AFK a second or third alt due to the time constraint, but only the most dedicated players would grind out a second or third alt actively under the current tripling system, because we're talking 18ish hours of game time here, per character, and only if you manage to earn 2k-3k WP with each character every game.
Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 1718	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:41:00 - [12] - Quote I'm so sorry to hear they are tripling the gain from actively engaging in battle. It is a truly horrific situation and we should rise up against our masters. Next you'll be telling me they've removed the couch from my quarters and we'll all have to stand up while receiving our passive SP.

Sum1ne Else WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL The Ascendancy 716	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:46:00 - [15] - Quote So...Im at work, bored, reading the forums. Looking at the new update, everything seems positive. thinks to myself 'wow, ccp could be doing something right, good patch, triple sp this week, activate one of my omega boosters that I paid real world money for, and....WAIT-WHAT!?' C'mon CCP- this is not good. I have sent multiple messages to players in other games to come online for the November events because they seemed great! slow clap Public Relations WJR Its a leopleuradon Charlie a magical leoplueradon, its gunna guide our way to candy mountain!
The Robot Devil Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 1117	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:46:00 - [16] - Quote I wish they would get rid of all active SP. The game shouldn't be about grinding it should be about being a mercenary and making a name for yourself. The grind mentality takes away from the game and adds nothing. If you want SP then you should have to wait for it and if you want WP and ISK you should have to play. Greed is bad and all this grinding is nothing more than greed. Grinding is bad and should be frowned upon. Dr. Gonzo: I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I'm getting the Fear.

Canari Elphus Ancient Exiles 786	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:50:00 - [18] - Quote The reason they do this is simple. They want you to have to play more during this event. They use these events for a couple reasons - The more you play, the better the chance to find potential bugs - Its incentive for people to log on and try out the new build. Players who might play here and there might like the new changes and play more often - It boosts there activity numbers I dont like it because I cant play often enough to cap out during these events but I understand why they are doing it.

Cody Sietz Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 1354	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:55:00 - [21] - Quote That means after you cap, you can still earn 3000-4500 sp per match.

Pretty sure the cap is still 1k. At least that's what it usually is in SP events. You just hit those 1k easier/faster. Winner of the EU Squad Cup & the closed beta Tester's Tournament.

calisk galern BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 1168	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:58:00 - [23] - Quote well if you are like me and earn on average 1000-2000 war points this be an additional 3k to 6k sp per match. i'm not going to complain.

Pretty sure the cap is still 1k. At least that's what it usually is in SP events. You just hit those 1k easier/faster. Yep, after cap you'll still max out at either 1000 SP (no booster), 1500 SP (active booster), or 2000 SP (active omega). You'll only need less WP (334 minimum) to reach these numbers.
RAMB0 Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2013.11.05 13:58:00 - [25] - Quote No need to play extra. It is a true 3X event. SP from battle will triple. Lear to read people! " From November 6 to 13, players will earn active Skill Points from battles at three times the normal rate. During the week, your weekly Skill Point cap will be tripled as well. Passive Skill Point gain will remain normal. "

The event thread was pretty funny though. 7 pages of love, then one post clariying the 3xp, and it all went to ****. Great job, team. Head back to the MCC for debriefing and cocktails.
