A job well done mercs!
Thanks go out to all of you who participated this weekend and helped to make this event a great success. Should give us a full Infantry Respec now. That'd be a great reward for almost doubling the stretch goal. You should do it since you're ruining most of the current meta of the game in a very drastic manner.
How about no? We get between 2 - 3 million SP. If you still need a full respec after getting these SP you should seriously ask yourself the question if you don't waste your SP all the time.

[/list] Additional event info
- Only the total number of clones destroyed during the event will be counted, not the number of kills
- Clone kills by friendly fire will not be counted
- Active players characters in this case means any player characters that have logged in during event times and play at least 10 battles
- Active skill boosters will grant bonus skill points earned in this event GÇô in order to receive the bonus you must:
- Have a character that has an active skill booster installed on the first day of the event i.e. after downtime on March 14 in order to qualify for the bonus
- The length of the booster does not affect the amount of skill point bonus applied i.e. as long as you have an active skill booster of any type installed on your character after downtime on March 14, your character will receive the full bonus from the skill booster for this event
A few Questions CCP, When downtime happens today, "The official ending time of the event. We should be given a total kill count, disregarding the earlier statement by a dev that the event is being wrapped up because the 2 million count was achieved. 1. So, whats the total kill count, last recorded at 2.75 million. 2. Will we still get the extra SP from the additional kills beyond the 2 million as stated above, copied and pasted here. For 250,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 250,000 skill points
For 500,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 500,000 skill points
For 750,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 750,000 skill points
Are you dumb or are you just trying to be an ass? I believe you'll find the figures you posted above were what we would receive if we didn't reach the initial 1 million.

2.7 is not almost double 2. Besides that, you just got anywhere between 2 and 3 million SP. What do you need a respec for? What could you POSSIBLY want that too expensive for you right now? Shields for your shiny new Cal? Go buy them. Biotics for a new scout? GO BUY THEM. Why does everyone think they need to skill out of flaylock pistols and assault rifles in order to have a good build? Just keep your mistakes and move on. Literally nothing is too expensive for you right now, you could probably even buy electronics and engineering both at level 5 if you wanted. |

Thank you for the event CCP. This event actually was a great deal of fun, lots of the games were even and honestly enjoyable!
The problem now is it is going to suck going back to 'normal' games / boring red lines. Keep fighting blues and reds. Even if your getting stomped just switch to cheap stuff and keep fighting!

Total agreement. This event has been the most fun event of the year, possibly for longer than that.
Great stuff, CCP. Looking forward to other community-style events in the future.
(Maybe some sort of FW event that ties a stat to the overall war effort?)

**to you Wankers who want to give slack to anyone looking for a respect: when things are "nerfed" items added and/changed every update, can you blame the players for wanting to change their minds as-well ? (if you skilled into something that was good and CCP made altercations and now it sucks, why say SP was "wasted" ? more like we were ripped-off by a bait and switch scam)
so keep your damn respect, while Not acting like players are "out of line" who feel as if they deserve it

He's trying to spin that somehow CCP stated "for every X thousand clones destroyed, you get X skill points." It's obvious from the language that the numbers represent milestones, meaning 0-250k, 250-500k, etc. It's not every tier. Obviously, if it were, the event would just have read "for every 250k clones destroyed, you get 250k sp. The sky's the limit."
CCP, this was a great event! Thanks for putting it on. The SP will be very welcome!

You are correct sir, they then increased the goal and the reward. They didn't add any additional milestones between 1 mil and 2 mil, and they definitely made it very clear that the max SP for this event was up to 3 mil SP with an omega booster. |

which is very generous for a 48 hour event 1 million x booster bonus + million extra for being uber
2mill no booster
2.5 mill for active booster
3 mill for omega booster
as long as you played 10+ matches and activated a booster on friday

Thanks go out to all of you who participated this weekend and helped to make this event a great success. More than Twice the number of kills that you originally expected from this event (almost 3 times, wow!)... just goes to show, players will show up and play when the rewards are worth it; as opposed to some other events more modest rewards and player participation.
(edit) I would be curious to know the numbers of participants in this event that earned the 2 Million SP Reward; the 2.5 Mil SP Reward with Active Booster; the 3 Mil Reward with Omega Booster ...
nothing to see here ... move along

I've expressed stuff like this before about CCP and their (arguably mold-breaking) game EVE Dust 514. The game is unrelenting, unsympathetic, unforgiving to the player, never pretends to be coddling, and never pretends to be willing to give do-over to banckrupt players, or to give first-aid to mercs feeling the pain of being trampled. Deliberately producing a "game" that is torture for mind and fingers is umm... "sadistic".
But if a dentist tells me up front that "Baby, this is gonna HURT", instead of saying "you won't feel TOO MUCH disconfort at all", I'm more okay about what's coming. It's why I DO like Dust. CCP earned my respect because they let us see UP FRONT that they were intentionally going to keep this game a blood-sweat-and gruel GRIND, so we can't say we were fooled, and we always had the choice to bow out of this game for free (...and I remember how many of us got infuriated, threw down their gun yelling "Dude, this is bull*^$@", culled themselves out of our pack, and moved on---unwilling or unable to adapt to Dust's, err...' innovative ' in-play concepts.)
I play Dust with one mantra: "Expect NO charity, no welfare aid, no tuition-assistance, and no ACTUALLY-USEFUL free giveaways from this game. EVER!" That one, true, sucker-free TRIPLE SP EVENT we had shortly after the May realease... Celesta, that was a splendid fluke, a genetic freak, a Jovian research reject. It's the only real multi-SP event we ever had, and a mistake like that will never be allowed again in New Eden. That's what I will continue to tell myself when I read each new "player event" advertisement.
This is why the Million Clone Challenge really deserves a merc salute. It is another genetic freak. The only other one we've had since May. It's most amazing and superb trait, is that battlefield players were COLLECTIVELY working together to produce a prize that was going to be given to ALL of us as a POPULATION,... a prize that is not proportioned amongst the highest killboarders, but DUPLICATED to each player regardless of whether she succeeded in annihalating 300 reds, or got slapped down 300 times trying her best to get ONE descent kill.
As PS3 console players, we are still clumsily trying to improve our "social" and "co-op teamwork to win" thing in Dust. But the Million Clone event was so "New Eden" and so "Social" , it was the greatest tribute to the Eve Online atitude of gameplay that we mercs have ever had. When those surfers compete at Mavericks, the one who wins the money prize usually decides to split the money with all the other contestants in the end as a sign of community-cool. (But a lot of folks say those surfers smoke weed--that's why they do hippie stuff like sharing prize money... I know better than to belive that---the surfers share cuz they know how to be Cool).

The game is unrelenting, unsympathetic, unforgiving to the player, never pretends to be coddling, and never pretends to be willing to give do-over to banckrupt players, or to give first-aid to mercs feeling the pain of being trampled. Deliberately producing a "game" that is torture for mind and fingers is umm... "sadistic". But if a dentist tells me up front that "Baby, this is gonna HURT", instead of saying "you won't feel TOO MUCH disconfort at all", I'm more okay about what's coming. It's why I DO like Dust. CCP earned my respect because they let us see UP FRONT that they were intentionally going to keep this game a blood-sweat-and gruel GRIND, so we can't say we were fooled, and we always had the choice to bow out of this game for free (...and I remember how many of us got infuriated, threw down their gun yelling "Dude, this is bull*^$@", culled themselves out of our pack, and moved on---unwilling or unable to adapt to Dust's, err...' innovative ' in-play concepts.) I play Dust with one mantra: "Expect NO charity, no welfare aid, no tuition-assistance, and no ACTUALLY-USEFUL free giveaways from this game. EVER!" That one, true, sucker-proof TRIPLE SP EVENT we had shortly after the May realease... Celesta, that was a splendid fluke, a genetic freak, a Jovian research reject. It's the only real gimmick-free multi-SP event we ever had, and a mistake like that will never be allowed again in New Eden. That's what I will continue to tell myself when I read each new "player event" advertisement. This is why the Million Clone Challenge really deserves a merc salute. It is another genetic freak. The only other one we've had since May. It's most amazing and superb trait, is that battlefield players were COLLECTIVELY working together to produce a prize that was going to be given to ALL of us as a POPULATION,... a prize that is not proportioned amongst the highest killboarders, but DUPLICATED to each player regardless of whether she succeeded in annihalating 300 reds, or got slapped down 300 times trying her best to get ONE descent kill. As PS3 console players, we are still clumsily trying to improve our "social" and "co-op teamwork to win" thing in Dust. But the Million Clone event was so "New Eden" and so "Social" , it was the greatest tribute to the Eve Online atitude of gameplay that we mercs have ever had. When those surfers compete at Mavericks, the one who wins the money prize usually decides to split the money with all the other contestants in the end as a sign of community-cool. ( But a lot of folks say those surfers smoke weed--that's why they do hippie stuff like sharing prize money... I know better than to belive that---the surfers share cuz they know how to be Cool). ...This event was Rock On Cool, CCP. ROCK ON!!! If you change the terms of a contract or it's contents, like "nerfing" or adding new items, it seems only fair to adjust the time and points placed into the now faulty items your clients are stuck with. a good relationship needs balance.
Yes and that was what this awesome event was for so...
Noob isn't really a status, it's the online equivalent of a 5-year old calling you a poopy fart head.

Depends what for.
As for the people asking about when you get your SP, most likely before or when 1.8 hits so hold on to your horses, no need to go off the rails.

To CCP, thank you for this event to bring in the 1.8 release. It was a great way to provide the masses with SP to allocate in the new suits/weapons.
To those on this thread that are grateful, you're awesome. You're the people that make this game/world an awesome place to be in.
To those that are ungrateful, complain, turn your nose up at, belittle, etc, etc, etc. You're assholes. |
