The sound you hear is the air rushing out of my popped balloon, followed by a heavy sigh. 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.

Sorry but your wrong. I thought the same thing as you. But it is in the OP and on pg 7 of the event thread. It took them 7 pages to clarify it.

" 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. " SP cap; clarify. Does this mean the 192,000 will be tripled or does this mean once you have capped the SP cap will be tripled? Sometimes CCP say something and it means another- they have been kryptic before.
Just look at it this way. The cap will be 570000 sp this week. It will take you 3x longer to cap out if your not a wp scoring machine. Hence, the grind fest.

CCP Eterne wrote:Passive battle SP is not increased, it's only active battle SP that is increased. LinkFor 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? its a BONUS .....wtf are you complaining for no one is forcing you to cap out, no one is forcing you to log on every day for a bonus. its all on you. you want to cap out its on you and you can thank ccp for the bonus they are giving you or you can just ignore it and play the same amount you normally play and "oh whats this" bonus sp anyway. no one is forcing you to do anything. just accept the bonus and shut up
I think people are still happy with the bonus. But the 3x event in july was awesome. The one in aug was a major grind but ok. The OP in the event thread really made it sound like the July one. You give the a kid a sundae, then take away the fudge and whipped cream, he's not going to be happy. If you just gave him the vanilla ice cream first, he would be happy.

It will encourage AFKing in some form or another. It will be pubstomping all week instead of the first couple days. If you thought uplink spam was bad before, just wait. ( I believe this causes lag, not sure)

All of you ungrateful half-wit d-bags are ridiculous. I feel like if someone gave you a Maserati you'd b!tch about the color and the tires weren't your brand and you didn't like the interior.
Or if someone gave you a sack of money, you'd complain about the material the sack was made of, how it felt in your hand and how ridiculous it is they gave you a sack instead of something you could put in your pocket.
That's how petty and ridiculous about 90% of you are. A bunch of f'king crybaby ass little b!tches. I swear to God when I come to this forum I feel like I should be on diaper duty. I'd imagine the CCP employees feel like they're on diaper duty changing all the wah wah babies nappies and dealing with their temper tantrums they don't like the color of the diaper and it has Lightning McQueen instead of Buzz Lightyear.
:|
No, it's more like I was happy with my nice clean Buzz Lightyear diapers and that ***** nanny took them off, then put on a pair of soiled Lightning McQueens. The way their doing this it is just going to 3x the problems everyone's been talking about. Things like uplink spam, pubstomping, and AFKing.
I'd rather they not do it at all.

CCP has some nerve FORCING me to play their game!!" How about if you don't like to grind, DON'T? There's a ******* idea! What do you want? A 1/3 SP event, so you can get all the available SP in 1/3 the time?
Yeah, that would be great. But I think you should put that in the suggestion thread.

I think it would be a HUGE mistake to bring that over here. The SP grind isn't the issue.
I wouldn't mind if even AFKers still got SP, the screwed up mechanic is the ISK payout but that's for a different thread.
What is the issue? People are mad about a bonus. The active SP has only caused problems and created greedy players who cry about everything they get. Bunch of Pu$$ys. My kids complain less.
You do know that the accrual of sp is the main reason people play this game? Thats why ccp makes money off boosters. I have never afk'd and never plan to, but I'm also not a protostompin wp *****. Thats who this event really benefits. And if your on the other side of the stompin, your 2x screwed because the rest of your team is AFKing.

Stile451 wrote:Before the last event like this I was capping out nearly every week. I capped out during that event on two characters, one of which was through AFKing(never AFKed before or since - not going to do it again though as the reward wasn't really worth my time). Since the last event I have rarely capped out on even one character(the second being a heavy that hasn't been worth playing). That event wore me out and this one will do the same.
This event will lower the amount of time I play Dust overall as it will reduce my enjoyment of the game(I might play more often this week, but after that I will play less than I do right now).
In regards to AFKing. extra SP with no additional grind will make everyone happy. AFKing will remain the same as it is right now(only noticeable for a few days after reset).
Extra SP with additional grind will make some people happy. AFKing will be far more noticeable as there will be more AFKers online for longer detracting even further from the gaming experience that we already have.
AFKing is a problem in the first few days after a reset, with this event it will be a problem for three times as long - basically the entire event.
This.
