Please tell me I didn't waste 5k AUR.....
From my understanding, you needed to have 'A' booster activated before the day of the event officially started, and you need to have one active also at the end of the event (using one right before and one right after, etc.)
They are going to do a few random checks at the end of the event (6 hours after downtime of the final day) so if you had regular boosters active the entire time and you activate an OMEGA booster and it is in effect at the time when they check, then you will receive bonuses for the HIGHEST of the boosters.
So in short... if you were active before event and activate an OMEGA that will last all the way to the time they run the next checks, then yes you will receive the OMEGA booster power for an extra 1 million instead of 500,000 SP.
Hope that explains it better.

Hope that explains it better. I see, well I didn't have a booster going pre event and today was the first booster.....so....I'm guessing I don't get the sp :(
If you have one active that last passed when they run the random checks, you MIGHT still get it. It's worth a shot. I would just run the booster super late like an hour or two before the downtime just in case.
If it fails, you lose what... 1500 to 5000 AURUM (pending on booster) but if it works, you gain 500,000 or 1,000,000 SP.
Worth the risk in my opinion. Just go for it.. YOLO.

I just looked at the twitter and saw a post that states you had to have a booster already activated or activate on the 1st day, so if you are just activating it now, it's too late. :-(

LMAO. Yeah, mine too. I'll holler YOLO or just flat out 'Leerooooooooooy Jenkins' it all the time in the middle of planning. Squad don't always like it but they've come to expect me to do it, so they just kinda ignore me running off now and no longer plan for me to be part of the strategy, LMAO. I'll go with the strat if it's direct and to the point... no time for all that planning ish, YOLO.

We will be deploying your MCC reward today! Enjoy your skill points, you've all earned it!
Also, we will allow anyone who activated an active skill booster over the weekend to receive the skill point bonus, so if you didn't get your booster activated until Saturday or Sunday, you can still get the bonus skill points from the boosters! It's just our way of saying thank you!
Edit: If you activated an active skill booster over the weekend you will receive the bonus SP from the event.
For all those that doubted my comment about this possibly happening and suggesting that you activate it anyway because, well... Yolo.
This.
