When: The Million Clone Challenge runs from March 14 through 17 from downtime to downtime. Objectives: During this period, the total number of mercenary clones destroyed by the player community will be tallied and for each milestone achieved, active player characters will be rewarded with commensurate skill points. The clone kill milestones are the following:
- 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
- For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
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

CCP should give us a baseline to go by. We really have no idea how many clones are typically killed from downtime on Friday to downtime on Monday, for a typical weekend. It would be good to know in order to judge how attainable this challenge is, especially for those who would buy a booster just for this event. |

I think Logibro confirmed a YES on this on IRC.
Basically, if you saved your SP between now and patch day, and we all got the full 1.5 mill SP (from booster) from this event, you'd be really close to a lvl 5 in a newly released suit. |

Before I plug in my Omega Booster in anticipation:
Does this mean that, if I plug in my Omega Booster (7-Days) after the Downtime on March 14 that I will receive 2 million bonus SP, should the community kill 1 million clones in addition to being able to cap out twice with my booster while my booster is active?

It would be good to know in order to judge how attainable this challenge is, especially for those who would buy a booster just for this event. if we have 10k daily players, thats only 100 per merc, per day. thats easily attainable. plus with 3k-4k players on at any given time(with weekend numbers pushing the player count up), the daily average is probably more than 10k, which only makes it easier
and when you include the fact some of the hardcore players will top 1k terminatios by themselves...were getting the million sp

You're probably right, but it'd still be nice to see the numbers. If we normally reach one million in a weekend then it's not much of a challenge, so I assumed our average number would be less.
If the average number is really low, then it might inspire some to run suicide squads with alts just to boost these numbers. |

Trust me, for all those AFKing, I'm losing probably enough clones for all of them already
That being said, I'm looking forward to taking my young alties for a ride to get some sp in their pockets

To answer a few questions:
Yes Omega boosters will work. We'll try and tweet out some running totals over the weekend for the total number of clones killed.
And before anyone panics, don't take this as an indication as to whether or not we're providing a respec with Uprising 1.8.

[/list]
Question, do we get the SP listed for each milestone added up? So if we reach 1 million we can potentially receive 2.5 million SP? or do we receive the SP listed for the milestone we reach by itself?

One question just to make sure:
Should I plug in my booster BEFORE down time March 14th or is it enough to plug it in on the same day the event starts, after it has already started? We're talking about an additional 1 Million SP I REALLY would like to get.

so no just 1 mill sp.
if 10k people are playing over the weekend then we each need 100 kills. 2.4k on right now.

Average on weekends is about 4k players. Due to the event we will probably see more people playing. Not to mention there are tryhards pubstomping all the time. In a single match public or FW match there are a maximum of 300 clones destroyed. Every match lasts between 5 and 20 minutes.
I ask the PC corps to unlock their districts for this event. This is not about ISK. This is about killing as many clones as possible. And Logis: Leave your injectors at home. No revives!

I was ballparking based off of how long ambushes and skirmishes last, and amount of clones killed per minute.
Lets say that you are killing about 75% of clones in an ambush or skirmish. (80-120 ambush, 225 in skirmish/dom)
Lets say that an ambush in about 6 minutes and a skirmish is about 12 min (give or take? what do you think)
Because each match is 'using' 32 players that means that during the lifetime of a match, each individual player is probably getting, on average, .5 kills to .75 kills per hour.
Lets also say we have around 4000 players on playing each hour, but only in battle contributing to statistics about 75% of the time (3000 player hours per hour). That's a total of 216,000 minutes played over the weekend.
At my above estimated kill rate, we will be pretty well below the goal. Interestingly though, I don't think clones are necessarily killed faster in ambushes than skirmishes. You can play more matches faster, but there are fewer clones lost overall in them.

- 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
- For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
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
Now, if you respawn does it count as destroyed? Or must you shoot the clone until terminated? Oh and, if I activate a 1 day booster, do I get the extra sp if I activate it day 1? Bump, new page, very serious question...

Not a bad event.
Even with only 3000 active players, we all only need to hit 333.3 kills each to do this.
It's totally possible.

let's say 150 clones lost on average per game, let's estimate 6 games going on at any given time, (let's be honest i doubt theirs more then this going on at any given time), each taking on average 20 minutes.
that's 2700 clones per hour that's 64000 clones per day, or 194400 clones lost during this event. I think we will be a bit shy for this event.
to give you my personal record I have been playing for over a year and i barely have over 50k kills i think, and that's not even clones bleed out. |

I have an active booster I've been holding on to. Lets say I activate it on the 16th and this event is successful. Even If I play ten matches that booster will net me an extra 500k sp?

Correct.
And as for questions about what counts as a "kill", if the clone reserve number goes down, that's a clone death. So yes, killing someone without terminating the clone and then having them respawn counts but killing them and then them getting revived does not.

I'm pretty sure that they do as we made it actual clones lost in the match (which means if you only kill a single clone in a match, you only add one to the total) but I'll have to double check.

- 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
I would like to know ahead of time a few things please. 1. How much SP will we be getting if we use active boosters, does this mean on the 250k, 500, and 1mil marks or are they just going to be standard amounts, just as if an event was not happening, the wording that is being used has me confused.
2. Do the Milestones stack up or do they not, I want an offical word on this, because as I am reading it I can see it going both ways. Such as you get 250k, then 500k, then 750k, then 1mil, you are getting the mil just as promised either way just the overall totals are different at the end of the event. One way gives you 2.5 mil total the other just gives 1mil, both still a lot, just hoping it is 2.5mil but I want a Dev to make this clear which way it will be, I do not want a player to answer since they do not run the event.
3. If I revive someone does that keep them from being counted as a kill in total towards the goal? What is considered a "destroyed clone" I know what a terminated clone is, that's when you can't be revived anymore, so please explain what a destroyed clone is in detail.
4. How will the community be notified what the total number of kills are during the event so that we can keep track and be motivated to well...cause more mayhem?
5. If my booster runs out during the event, say a 1-3 day booster or the end of a longer booster, am I screwed out of the entire bonus?
6. This event needs to be announced over the game, will there be an actual announcement to the community in game or will this be another event that prays we get enough people by word of mouth/mail/whatever? |

So clones destroyed from MCC loss don't count?

Its time to see the dark side of dust thrive, bring all the spamming, all the evil tactics that we frown upon and kill by the masses. Bring your core grenades, bring your combat and rail rifles, bring your blaster tanks and officer weapons! Forget about kdr, this is for everyone, noobs and vets alike! We need to slay like we have never slayed before! Forget the points in skirmish and everyone fight to the last clone! |

7. Do kills by turrents count, manned or unmanned do they count towards the total of kills?
If a clone is revived it doesn't count... If they bleed out or respawn it does.
I'd also like to know about the turrets, everyone running around shooting unmanned turrets will make for some funny matches. |

Does an enemy specifically need to be responsible for terminating your clone? |

Or more simply, if I already have an active booster on, when's the latest I can activate my omega booster to get the double SP?

Does an enemy specifically need to be responsible for terminating your clone? 1.) No 2-4.) I would hope no otherwise this event would be extremely easy 5.) So as long it is not by friendly, remote your jeep all you want and crash all you want. Otherwise I guess No 6.) I would also hope no
I think the enemy must be responsible for the clone's termination during battle which, let's be honest, we kill more than 500k clones day in and day out as a community. Hell I know for a fact we do more than that!

CCP Logibro wrote:Million Clone Challenge Throughout the weekend of March 14-17, should the total number of clones destroyed in New Eden reach 1 million, every shall receive 1 million skill points! The details for this event are: When: The Million Clone Challenge runs from March 14 through 17 from downtime to downtime. Objectives: During this period, the total number of mercenary clones destroyed by the player community will be tallied and for each milestone achieved, active player characters will be rewarded with commensurate skill points. The clone kill milestones are the following:
- 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
- For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
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
I dunno if this has been asked, but why is it starting on a Friday? If we have a booster activated Wednesday, will that carry over for the event, or would we have to burn a second one specifically for the event?

So, I'm a bit confused on this. I already have a booster applied, do I have to apply another one to qualify? If so, glad I kept these omega actives. Also, if we apply it, and we reach the 1million, will those that have omega, or regular, get 2million or 1.5 million, respectively? |

Does this mean no respec.!?!?!?!? 1 million won't be enough to get what I needed. Considering the changes that's coming to 1.8 and also many mistakes in the past doesn't add up to one million. One million plus boosters would give you at least one suit prototype and one or two weapons to advance if I'm right. Plus don't forget the core skills that you were suppose to skill into in the beginning, but went straight to the new weapons and suits. I learned my lesson and I just want an infantry respec.

Honestly, if we don't get a respec, I dunno if I'll play this game. I've been waiting so long to get out of this amarr heavy suit and even with all this bonus SP nonsense, I still have to put SP into core skills so there goes all my SP. Putting out changes THIS drastic requires a respec simply because there are millions of SP of NEW stuff that we never had the option to choose before. |

Ok, I'm gonna torture you with the same question asked in different words one more time because I can't reading comprehension well right now (sorry)
I have a 30 day active booster already installed that is going to run out after downtime on friday
Does that qualify, or do I need to plug in a NEW one ON friday?
ADDITIONAL QUESTION:
I have a 3 day omega booster that I might be tempted to activate for this event. If I plugged it in on friday, would it properly override my 30 day 1.5x booster for the event? Or should I pop it before downtime on friday to prevent any weird conflict? |

It would be good to know in order to judge how attainable this challenge is, especially for those who would buy a booster just for this event.
4000 players on average, with say 10 matches over the event averaging at about 10 deaths per match puts us at about 400,000. The event should be quite doable. |

What about if a clone is terminated by an unmanned enemy installation? Does that count toward the total, as it's technically not a friendly fire kill or suicide, or does it actually have to be a player killing another player for this to count?

- 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
So the bonus you get from active boosters is different than the 1million sp if we get it?

I'm still wondering, if a x2 and x1.5 booster are both on during the event, how will it judge which to use. First one? Last one activated? Will it just use the highest one? If ones already active before downtime Friday will it take priority?
I ask because this is the kind of thing I could see getting screwed up.

Sounds great.... still curious what would happen if I activated an Omega booster over a regular booster after downtime on Friday. Would I get x2 or x1.5?

I'm a bit confused about the booster issue. I currently have a 30 day active booster on, but I plan on purchasing an Omega booster to maximize my SP gains for the event. How can I be sure that you'll recognize my Omega booster rather than my standard active booster that's already running? Do I need to start the Omega booster prior to downtime on the 14th? Will starting it after be okay? If it's fine to start it after downtime, what would happen if I forget to activate it during my first match on the 14th? Would I be screwed, making only 1.5x SP instead 2.0x SP for the entire event? Please give us explicit details on how to ensure that we have absolutely no problems getting the most from this event with our boosters.

Here is our plan to approach this issue:
- We will look at what kind of booster you have right after Friday's DT is over on the 14th and that is the booster bonus you will receive.
- There will be edge cases like the one you pointed out. To mitigate this, we will take another look at character boosters installed later in the day (currently, 6 hours after DT on Friday) to see if the booster has been changed.
- We will take the higher bonus from the boosters when calculating your SP bonus from this event, i.e. if you had an Omega booster and a regular booster installed on Friday, we will give you the bonus from the Omega booster.
We could do a third check at 11pm UTC on Friday to catch as many edge cases as possible as well. Let me know your thoughts. |

You might even want to consider to update the message with the current number of killed clones after each downtime? Would be nice to track the progress of this event. |

We will be updating the number of clones destroyed daily via social media (Facebook and Twitter) as well as this thread. And we will update the message to let players know where to go for the updates. |

Respect for being rather diligent in providing both feedback & a proposed solution. I would like to add 1 more query to "Full Circle" solidify your clarification:
If you have an Active Booster that runs.....let's say 20 Seconds after Downtime on March 14 (Ex: 7AM EDT Downtime Saturday Morning, 7:30 AM EDT Reboot, 20 Seconds left on Actve Booster), or even Milliseconds, would that qualify to satisfy the Booster Bonus Conditions?
Would the Booster Checkpoints you presented register the Initial/Highest Booster regardless of wether or not a Booster is active during each subsequent Checkpoint? Or will this probable collision nullify the Booster Bonus? I'm positive this will not affect me.....but I believe this line of questioning would indefinitely eliminate any further SP Queries from anyone who took the time to read before Posting.
Then you are left only to the Respec Queries.....which I honestly support, regardless of my SP Flexibility, due to the severity of the alterations being made on all fronts.
PS: FYI I propose a Full Respec (Only Skillbook ISK refunded), or an Auto-Infantry Respec with Optional Full Respec via Support Ticket. |

This means the whole Dust community must achieve an accumulated amount of 1.000.000 destroyed clones. So everyone that plays this weekend and terminates an enemy clone will contribute to the counter...

To all who dont understand.... You WANT to run ambush and die as much as you can because every clone killed ( ,, when you die depending on cause of death you have 30secs I think it is to be revived if you respawn after you die there goes a clone ) so pretty much every suit you lose counts as 1 clone. It is a coumunity event so its all dust players in total.

The key to achieve the maximum yield from this event: everyone use starter fits and run in the open as visible to the enemy as possible.
Even better if you can sync up with the opposing team to organize execution demonstrations. Line up everyone against a wall and start shooting, but remember to bring uplinks so that you don't have to run to the wall from across the map. |

Sounds great.... still curious what would happen if I activated an Omega booster over a regular booster after downtime on Friday. Would I get x2 or x1.5?
As far as I know, activating a new booster takes over a currently active one. The older stops counting down until the newer runs out. Many people use this to extend the usefulness of Omegas (activate Omega, hit cap, activate 3/7 day regular, wait for cap reset, wait for regular expiry, hit cap on Omega again, rinse, repeat)
No.

I thought that I would only have about 4,000,000 SP saved for when 1.8 would come, but with the delays and events I might just reach 7,000,000.

The "after downtime" remark in the OP seems a little misleading.
To be on the safe side, I have taken it to mean you need a booster active the moment downtime ends in order to benefit. I.E. you'll have to activate a booster beforehand.
However that wording suggests that you can activate the booster after the downtime. Which may or may not be true, but if it isn't a lot of people could be screwed over.

There will be edge cases like the one you pointed out. To mitigate this, we will take another look at character boosters installed later in the day (currently, 6 hours after DT on Friday) to see if the booster has been changed.
We will take the higher bonus from the boosters when calculating your SP bonus from this event, i.e. if you had an Omega booster and a regular booster installed on Friday, we will give you the bonus from the Omega booster.
We could do a third check at 11pm UTC on Friday to catch as many edge cases as possible as well. Let me know your thoughts.
The best way to ensure that you will receive your bonus SP from this event is to make sure that your character(s) have a SP booster installed before DT (11:00 UTC) on Friday March 14th. So basically activate a booster shortly after downtime friday, or if you want to be sure then activate it before downtime.

We will be updating the number of clones destroyed daily via social media (Facebook and Twitter) as well as this thread. And we will update the message to let players know where to go for the updates.
If we destroy more than 1 million clones do we get more free SP?
ie 2 million clones = 2million SP?

One more question for you CCP guys:
What are the odds we can get a stretch goal out of this?
You know, say we're really, really productive at killing and dying, and hit 1 million on the first day.
Any chance we can get a 2 million kill/SP goal on top of that?

Before? Wasn't it after? CCP's have said that when downtime is over they will check to see what booster is active, with a follow up check done 6 hours after downtime. Whichever booster is active at the 6 hour post downtime check will be the booster that counts. They might do a later check after the 6 hour one but at the moment it's not confirmed. The reason they said that activating before downtime is best is probably just so that you do it then rather than not being able to do it, or forgetting to do it before the post downtime 6 hour deadline.

Throughout the weekend of March 14-17, should the total number of clones destroyed in New Eden reach 1 million, every active player shall receive 1 million skill points! The details for this event are:
When: The Million Clone Challenge runs from March 14 through 17 from downtime to downtime.
Objectives: During this period, the total number of mercenary clones destroyed by the player community will be tallied and for each milestone achieved, active player characters will be rewarded with commensurate skill points. The clone kill milestones are the following:
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 For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
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
EPIC FAIL, now people are going to be playing dust 514 trying to get 1 million skill points though the goal is UNREACHABLE UNLESS YOU QUIT YOUR JOB AND PLAY 24/7 BEFORE THE EVENT IS ACTIVE. CCP, Devs some of us normal people have jobs and lives to tend to this need more time you are making this a non-reachable challenge for all of us that is not balanced I disagree and veto this event just for that reason. I am not quitting my job so i can play your products 24/7 in order to achieve 1,000,000 skill points THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL GET THIS ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON SINCE THE GAME CAME OUT!
You are not making this fair at all....people are leaving this game and not coming back more so with new players who just played for a month. they leave becasue you as a company have failed to realize that your events are poorly planned for you customers who are on 24/7 who probably don't have a real life to attend to, CCP I ask you this is this the type of environment you will allow in the end costing you money from people boycotting or quitting forever? Look I pay your bills with the money I give you to blow it all on vacationing in parts of the world you have no business being in in regards to product development more so of vacationing for all days of the year riding on people who actually work out there and it's not fair and we are revolted at as customers on who an unreachable goal has been posted as your monthly challenge good job ccp you are destroying work ethic world wide keep it up and maybe your video game will make it on the front of the paper again. oh and if you are going for it good luck your going to need to play this game 24/7 quit your real life dump your GF tell they guys you cant go out becasue that's the only way you will get your points no other way hands down I talked with too many about this outrage! your not getting a dime outta me that for sure. make the event longer more more longer for everyone to catch up and don't ever be sly like that again ever ok? |

Basically from what i understand they will look at the highest valued booster you have active when they bring up the servers after the down time. so best bet is use booster right before down time so you get the max sp for event |

- We will look at what kind of booster you have right after Friday's DT is over on the 14th and that is the booster bonus you will receive.
- There will be edge cases like the one you pointed out. To mitigate this, we will take another look at character boosters installed later in the day (currently, 6 hours after DT on Friday) to see if the booster has been changed.
- We will take the higher bonus from the boosters when calculating your SP bonus from this event, i.e. if you had an Omega booster and a regular booster installed on Friday, we will give you the bonus from the Omega booster.
We could do a third check at 11pm UTC on Friday to catch as many edge cases as possible as well. Let me know your thoughts. The best way to ensure that you will receive your bonus SP from this event is to make sure that your character(s) have a SP booster installed before DT (11:00 UTC) on Friday March 14th. So in 10 words or less do we activate our booster before or after friday downtime? [/quote My post is starting from ok something broke with the qoute Ok well ill be mad because I got this booster last year from a sp event and saved it and if it dont work ill be complaigning like a ***** on steriods that thought it made his **** bigger. Basically from what i understand they will look at the highest valued booster you have active when they bring up the servers after the down time. so best bet is use booster right before down time so you get the max sp for event

To be fair, that might be true of a lot of logis, but some logis can see threats you can't and don't want you to unnecessary lose the clone again. Not all, but some. I won't say your situation is specific but I've had to leave a lot of guys to bleed out because I couldn't save them due to cross fire or other threats. Even heavies.

I conservatively calculate that an estimated 1,440,000 clones could realistically be killed in the 72 hour period.
In 72 hours there are approximately 288 match slots, that's estimating each match at approximately 15 minutes each, I think that's a fair average.
For the 288 match slots based on an average of 3200 online dusters at every given hour of the day (this could be wildly inaccurate depending on how our reaction is to the event, could be much more or could be less) and most matches being 16 v 16 then we could effectively have 100 ongoing matches at any given time, this is more likely to be 50 at any given time due to match wait time and people fncking around with their fittings etc and not being in match.
So I guess 1 million should be pretty easy if we clone win most matches with an average of 100 clones lost per match.
(288 x 100 (clones)) x 50 (active matches per 15 minutes timeslot).
Not sure what you guys think, maybe I'm missing something but shouldn't be too difficult to get the 1 million.

I see quite a few people asking about this and don't mind setting a stretch goal for 2 million.
However, the intent of this event is to set a goal for the community that is realistic and achievable without a lot of time commitment. If we start raising that bar, then it starts the slippery slope towards the grind and that would be my main concern. |

Probably they have already answered but i will ask anyway. If i activate the 3 days omega booster today after DT will i get the 2 millions SP from the event (if we reach 1kk of course)? Because the booster will end on saturday after DT, does it have to run for all the event?

It'll end Monday after downtime first of all. And to answer your question, I believe you should activate it before Friday's downtime. Not today however.

I've always thought impossible goals were always the best kind. Hard work for well earned rewards,and all that. Plus it would give booster users more incentive to play,especially if the could earn infinitely more SP in a single weekend. Plus boost Aur sales... The event could even be renamed "Infinite slaughterhouse". To debut how merciless New Eden can be.

If you set a stretch goal maybe set it internally and surprise us..
If you wanted to turn it into a grind you could do
Kill 500 people 1 Balac Sniper Riffle, Kill 1,000 people get 3 Officer Dropsuits.
Die 500 times get 50 State 100% Needles, Die 1,000 times get 100 moble CRUs.
For every 100 deaths you get a Bottle of Quafe Zero.

Just say the Event goal is 1 million clones and specify 2 Million kills as some kind of a stretch goal. Maybe you can set it after we achieved the 1 million?

hey, you guys said the Operation Mauler reward script would be run earlier this week. Well, Wednesday isn't 'early this week'. It is exactly 'half way through the week. Did you mean early NEXT week? Cause I know I am still waiting for my reward.
Will the reward payout for this event be paid out a month after it is over? You guys really need to work on rewarding people in a timely manner. If it isn't chinese new years, then it's something else you guys are probably getting drunk over and forgetting.
Also, this basically confirms you are not giving us a respec in 1.8. 1 million, with a possible of 2 million, SP, on top of the possible 750k SP from Mauler - so 1.75m to 2.75m SP is just barely enough to get one of the new proto suits and then you're left grinding for a new weapon. |

It's just now been a week since the event ended. Cool your jets.
CCP goes to work, works hard, and have families and lives outside of their office. If they have a holiday, they can damn well do as they please during their holiday.
CCP Cmdr Wang post about Mauler rewards on March 9th, a Sunday. The Sunday of this week. Mean next week would be.... Next week.
If you could have potentially had 2.75m SP to put where ever you want when 1.8 drops after making no effort to save any SP at all, then the fault lies with you. As far as respecs and these events go, CCP Logibro says you're wrong in this very thread. Apparently, monthly events with SP payouts that we planned to be run independently of patches have no bearing on whether or not a respec will be given.

That's good PR and good management of public expectation, too.
"You guys blew the goal out of the water! You doubled the maximum kill limit! So we have a surprise for you all: we're giving you 2 million SP instead."
On the topic of grinding:
For a community-wide goal like this, I think it's okay to set a number that's slightly on the grind side. There will always be some players who are more than happy to slaughter thousands of clones on their own, and others who only have time to get their 10 matches in.
As you've seen in this thread, some people actually like the grind. And that's okay, because it's a joint goal: the people who love it help out the people who hate it, and we all achieve the number anyway.
When every single individual has to grind to do the event, that's when it robs it of fun. Collectively, it's a sense of achievement.
Anyway. Even if there isn't a stretch goal, I think CCP is doing a heck of a job with their first attempt at this kind of event. We're only asking for higher goals because we're greedy little SP-mongering killing machines.

Why dont you just do two checks one straight after down time on the 14th and one before downtime on the 15th. This way people know that they can active the booster before the event start and also on the first day that the event starts.
You can then take whatever booster pays out the highest multiplier to be used. You are not at risk of missing anyone out as boosters last for 24 hours.

Actually, I call bullshit on that. All the have to do is run one little script. The push of a button that should have been pressed the day after the event. Had they made the code nice and clean in the first place to actually track everything, it should have already been given out.
As for me saving SP, I have been skilling into things that will not change IE dropsuit upgrades. Things that I will have to have at 5 anyways. The fact I'm not saving SP is irrelevant to this topic. The fact that they are giving us an even that will give us a potential 2million SP right after an event that can give us up to 750k SP confirms they will not give us a respec in 1.8. A patch, that I'm not sure you're aware of, is going to drastically change everything about ground warfare.
All I'm saying is, these events confirmed there will be no respec, which will lose them players AND they constantly delay and delay event rewards. The Battle for Caldari Prime rewards were, surprisingly, given out really fast. Every event after that, we've had to wait more than a week to get our rewards. And even then, they never actually told us that we got any rewards (in the case of Operation Shinobi) on the login screen.
So, I am going to call bullshit on your first statement. |

The details for this event are: When: The Million Clone Challenge runs from March 14 through 17 from downtime to downtime. Objectives: During this period, the total number of mercenary clones destroyed by the player community will be tallied and for each milestone achieved, active player characters will be rewarded with commensurate skill points. The clone kill milestones are the following:
- 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
- For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
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
What if we get 2mil kills. Can we have 2mil sp?

I applaud your efforts to keep events from being "grindy", Cmdr Wang, it is 100% appreciated.
That said, there's nothing grindy about giving us a realistic goal and saying "This is your goal, and you get a sweet reward. If somehow you guys crush this, you can get some extra credit, sure!"

If i activate the 3 days omega booster today after DT will i get the 2 millions SP from the event (if we reach 1kk of course)? Because the booster will end on saturday after DT, does it have to run for all the event? Activating before downtime is your best bet. They will check 6 hours later to see if it is still active or if you have changed it. After that, the ball is in your court. If it ends in Saturday, so be it. They already checked it on Friday. |

Not sure if this has been suggested, but perhaps since each goal of the event has the same corresponding number of skill points awarded (i.e. 1,000,000 clones killed equals 1,000,000 skill points), I suggest it is simply changed to "each clone killed is worth 1 skill point." That way if we manage to kill 999,999 clones we aren't stuck only getting 750,000 skill points. That also makes it easier if for some reason we get 1,009,468 kills we will get the same in skill points. Just a suggestion. |

Not anytime. They stated that they will check after downtime and again 6 hours after. so as long as your booster is active anytime WITHIN that window, you should be fine.

So, since I have work in that window, I should probably activate my omega booster tonight and I should be good, yeah? Or do I have to activate a new one within that window? If it's the latter, that is stupid.... |

CCP have said they might look at doing a later check than the 6 hour post downtime one, but don't plan for it. |

If I have Omega activated on Wednesday (12/03) until Saturday (15/03), will I receive bonus skill points from event?

Look at what they just said to my post.
Unless you're talking about the Omega giving you double, then yeah, it will work. But IDK if it will give you double.
Edit: Look on the first page of the thread. Someone said that CCP Logibro told him that it would count double.

From what I've read, yes. If it's active on Friday after DT, you're good. I just activated one just now. I expect that to count. |

So when is the actual downtime? I've been reading through this and I'm not sure I get it. I activated my booster at around 2014.03.14 00:53 EVE Time. I know the server has regular downtime at 11 UTC or something but I have no idea whether I'm in or out of the window. |

Okay, I need a little clarification here, if someone could help.
Now, your telling us we need to have our active booster up tomorrow for it to count. So, the booster, are we getting a new cap for those 3 days or is this booster going to factor in at the end of the event to our individual event winnings? If we do get the 1mil sp and I have that omega booster on, does that mean 2mil for me? O.o
Sorry if this has already been covered or should be ridiculously apparent to me and I've just missed it, but someone mind filling me in? c:

The best way to ensure that you will receive your bonus SP from this event is to make sure that your character(s) have a SP booster installed before DT (11:00 UTC) on Friday March 14th.
Thanks for the details. Tip for future, though: It would have been clearer if you had worded your initial post with a time spec that looked like this instead:
"We will look at what booster you have installed at
Friday March 14th, 11:00 UTC
"
They may seem like the same thing to you. But if you word it specifically this way, it eliminates a bit of ambiguity.

That's for bonus sp. If we all get 1 million kills you get 1 million sp provided you play at least ten battles.
Boosters mean you get 1.5million sp or 2million instead of 1
Either way you get at least 1million if you participate.

That's for bonus sp. If we all get 1 million kills you get 1 million sp provided you play at least ten battles. Boosters mean you get 1.5million sp or 2million instead of 1 Either way you get at least 1million if you participate.
thx for the info |

The clone kill milestones are the following:
- 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 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points
[/list] Question, do we get the SP listed for each milestone added up? So if we reach 1 million we can potentially receive 2.5 million SP? or do we receive the SP listed for the milestone we reach by itself? should the total number of clones destroyed in New Eden reach 1 million, every shall receive 1 million skill points! so no just 1 mill sp. if 10k people are playing over the weekend then we each need 100 kills. 2.4k on right now. That is both true and not true at the same time. You see we don't have to kill 1m clones "if" we kill 250k we still get 250k SP. But the question that we are asking is when do we get the 250k SP? Right away? Then if we make to 500k we would get another 250k SP. Or would we get the 250k SP at the end of the event?
It also seems to me like you have to kill then bleed out out the clone in order for it to count or so they can't be revived. But what happens if you kill someone at the end of the game?
Every time you play an ambush game does that mean that there is at lest 50-80 more dead clones? |

Here's an update on the total clone kill number thus far: 887,139
Since there's less than 200K to go I am going to set the strech goal at 2 million.
For each additional 250K clones killed beyond the first million players who have logged in and played 10 or more matches will receive an additional 250K skill points, up to 1 million.
That means if you guys hit 2 million kills you will get 2 million skill points for this event!
To keep the skill point at reasonable levels for this event, we will not apply booster bonus for the streach goal reward. |

So we can get 2million SP with an Omega Booster (1.5 with standard Boosters or 1million without Boosters) for the initial reward and upto an extra 1million for the stretch goal. Right?

So we're prolly going to hit 2 million - At ten thousand ISK a suit that's twenty billion ISK. Impressive.
Imagine what the losses would be if we were fighting for something real like performing special-ops missions to interdict an entire alliances jump bridge access. Those would be gud fites.

You know what's not unreasonable? More Skillpoints. More Skillpoints are always good. There's only one thing that can replace more Skillpoints and that's even more Skillpoints. Can you sneak in a little error in that script please so it gives more Skillpoints for the stretch goal too? I won't tell anyone!

Source was the initial post. The Boosters needed to be active for 11AM UTC for you to get the bonus SP at the end of the event. CCP said they'd look at boosters being activated up to 6 hours after downtime when they apply the bonus.

I currently have a 30 day active booster on, but I plan on purchasing an Omega booster to maximize my SP gains for the event. How can I be sure that you'll recognize my Omega booster rather than my standard active booster that's already running? Do I need to start the Omega booster prior to downtime on the 14th? Will starting it after be okay? If it's fine to start it after downtime, what would happen if I forget to activate it during my first match on the 14th? Would I be screwed, making only 1.5x SP instead 2.0x SP for the entire event? Please give us explicit details on how to ensure that we have absolutely no problems getting the most from this event with our boosters.
Thank you!!! Here is our plan to approach this issue:
- We will look at what kind of booster you have right after Friday's DT is over on the 14th and that is the booster bonus you will receive.
- There will be edge cases like the one you pointed out. To mitigate this, we will take another look at character boosters installed later in the day (currently, 6 hours after DT on Friday) to see if the booster has been changed.
- We will take the higher bonus from the boosters when calculating your SP bonus from this event, i.e. if you had an Omega booster and a regular booster installed on Friday, we will give you the bonus from the Omega booster.
We could do a third check at 11pm UTC on Friday to catch as many edge cases as possible as well. Let me know your thoughts. The best way to ensure that you will receive your bonus SP from this event is to make sure that your character(s) have a SP booster installed before DT (11:00 UTC) on Friday March 14th.
Does this mean if I was just able to get on and activate a booster I'm SOL? That would be quite a let down. Any chance for another check right before the event ends? An hour before downtime Monday? |

I noticed that that actually puts the new booster in front of the older one, meaning that the system will tick over to my original booster before the event ends.
I'll still be covered for the whole event, but will I miss out because I'll be switching from one booster to another?

This is so good, I didn't know about this event but happened to get an omega booster before the down time yesterday, so I should be golden.
Which is great considering I just started playing Dust.

I think as long as you had a booster active at 11:00 UTC, and play your 10 complete matches over the event, you qualify for bonus SP.

I would hope that's getting some of them killed a little more. Last time I checked, you could be revived even after you went to the spawn screen/map. It's only after you choose which location to deploy that you are truly terminated.
You are correct, and the spawn screen is where I watch their silly needle icons getting closer...closer....ooops too late bro, I'm terminated ;-) |

Afraid not. You only get the bonus SP from the Booster from the initial 1million SP. The Stretch Goal is not boosted by a Booster, so the maximum you can get is 3million.

Super psyched about getting the 2 mill. I left Dust for a few months but just came back 3 weeks ago then this happens! Have to say, I'm happy with Dust again. I sadly will not be able to contribute my efforts most of the day of sunday due to work (blah) but I will keep checking the forums on count updates.
Can anyone link me to the twitter page of Cmndr Wang? He's the one posting the updates right? I dont have a twitter acct or I'd look him up.

I don't think so. I also don't see why it should be. First of all: The FEC already made the news on some gaming related websites. It's a start. We also don't know what will come in the future. When we have more Eve integration and another big battle in Eve happens where we can actually help out I can see something along the lines "Meanwhile other players, playing Dust 514 fought inside of these ships and tried to capture Skyfire Batteries on the ground to help change the tide of battle in Space" or something like this.
He's talking about what Dust might become. You only see what it currently is.

It's not even about the actual fight. Fights on eve are as boring as watching paint dry when they get into the temporal modulation stuff. The reason those fights make the newspaper is because they can be converted into currency lost. As in, thousands of people spent tens of thousands of dollars to make digital explosions.
It's fascinating from a digital ownership perspective, because on one end CCP could undo the entire fight in a few keystrokes. Everyone could get all their property back and it would cost CCP nothing to do it. Digital copies are infinite. But to do that would completely undermine the economy the game is based on. Like how we can't have infinite bitcoins. This particular system only works because we purposely restrict the access to something that is infinite. Titans cost time and money to get, even though there is literally an endless supply.
For dust to make the newspaper, all we really need to do is run an Aurum Only Million Clone March. Destroy 1 million clones and each one costs $0.25? Cool quarter mil USD, roughly the cost of B-R5RB in Jan. |

TIMMY, I lost in my last match, and still earned more than 25 x the isk than I did skill points. if you want more isk, 1 don't spend more than you make if you need to spend it at all, 2 do more battles, and last "a fool and he money are soon parted" don't be a fool. whats Mr.T say again? |

Also there is an answer to that on twitter as well.
Omega booster will take priority over normal booster if you activated it on Friday. |

Normally you should have received them Thursday, but there are problems with the script like kills with LP weapons not rewarded. Check the February event, you'll find more details about that |

I got the 10 matches done but I'm not sure if they occured before the other booster kicked in to replace the first one.

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.

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.

This event was great! Thank you CCP Cmdr Wang!
It was good because: 1. It changed the metagame of pub matches into a crazy fragfest. 2. We got great amount of SP to make cover up for the mistake of not handing out a full infantry respec. This actually turned out better for me than what a respec would have done. One "free" additional proto dropsuit wohooo!

I had two not so helpful comments - the point was not that I need ISK - which I don't
The point was everyone is going to be a Proto player.
2 million SP will allow virtually everyone who plays during this tournament to get proto dropsuits and a proto weapon.
Me I already have those - so now it'll go to proto shields and proto armor and proto 3rd and 4th weapon, maybe 5th weapon. maybe proto hacking or proto profile dampening. or none of those and proto logi dropsuit.
even in 600 hp dropsuits I die 5-6 times a match, it gets expensive, so I don't usually run those suits I have a couple of cheap suits I run and move up depending on squad and team.
-
It was a good idea to bring some occasional players back, I'm not sure its good for all players though. newbies will face even more proto stompers.
-
As a side note - maybe add some Fittings. We're all gonna need them now. |

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. |

- 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.

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.

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

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).
...This event was Rock On Cool, CCP. ROCK ON!!! |

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. |

Show exactly this is what CCP wrote ANYWHERE,
Do you know what they say about the word ASSUME.
So this is your understanding, isn't it.
I know you're an old lady, but fck are you senile or what? This thread, first post.. Million Clone Challenge The clone kill milestones are the following: 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 For 1,000,000 clones destroyed, all active players will receive 1,000,000 skill points So for the kill a million clone event we were given milestones up to the death of 1 million clones - why you think you're going to get extra SP based on these numbers for kills over the 2mil mark is beyond me. Heavenly Daughter wrote:
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
Me assume? hmmmmmm.... can you show me anywhere CCP have stated that we will get this extra SP for additional kills over 2 million? No you can't so STFU!
From CCP's Dust Facebook Page:
"DUST 514 To clarify - that means 2M SP total (1M + 1M stretch goal). With an Omega booster equipped that would net you 3M SP!" |

Well, better hope people spec into Amarr logi then! Cause Uplinks will now be 15-10 second spawn time! You'd be better off spwaning on a CRU, since they can go down to 3-10 second spawns. |

This is exactly why they increased the spawn time for uplinks...
To give CRUs a significantly quicker spawn time than drop uplinks, their in-game value will increase hopefully making them assets that we'll fight to hold.

Right now, we fight to keep them red. We spawn camp them. We sometimes even team kill people to stop them from hacking.
It doesn't matter that they are trying to make the CRU something worth fighting for. We already fight for them to camp them. Making uplinks take longer to spawn changes nothing. I'm willing to bet there will be one person in a queue sync that will be a proto amarr logi (at least level 5 with a standard suit) to come in every now and then to spam links then jump onto a kill suit.
I bet that people will keep CRUs red to spawn camp them and not even bother capturing them. |

Well said, Lee!!
It doesn't really matter whether players keep the following in mind or not (because ever since Patch 1.6 CCP clearly shows they're going to regulate and steer this game down their unique-thinking path regardless--good for them!):
--Spamming items for leaderboard or private player profit.... --Camping on spawn-points for club-leaderboard bragging or quicker slaughter of player reserves.... --Duckshooting NUETRAL installations for private score-boosting... --Munchausen-Medic (that's when you fatally shoot your own teammate, and immediately revive him with a med stim to unlock "medic" bonus items for yourself).... --Speed-Gonzalez Road Killing with available vehicles for private player pleasure...
....are ALL classic, traditional, ready-for-retirement home, methods MOST fps players used to exploit or pillage the TRADITIONAL-minded shooters. Thankfully many of those players who tried fiercely to bring those licenses (some players call them "cheats'-techniques") into Dust,...gave up and moved on. Because CCP is constantly trying to strangle that kind of gameplay out, so it won't have much of a home in DUST 514.
++Cleverly deploying uplinks where they count the most, and always out of obvious sight... ++Hacking a NEUT object to make it OURS instead of blowing it up.... ++Hacking each Red CRU immediately, to close off their access to the map and Redline them... ++Using your steering wheel to position friendly mercs and useful weapons around the map instead of using the steering wheel solely as stooges' taxi. ++Never turning your weapon on a fellow player, just because he has the fighting-impulse to turn everything Red and potentially dangerous into something Blue and potentially useful...
....these are SOME of the non-traditional, TRUE-TEAM-minded fps methods THE REST of us are starting to discover. Harder to do? YEAH. Newer than the retiree methods (not another CoD, again?)... Yep. More satisfying? To me yeeesss, but that may be because I and four other players racked up and won every match we fought in during the Million Clone event... and all we used was one DS, one HAV, and one co-op mindset: Hack & Hold!
Have patience, Lee. We are forgivingly accepting that a large minority of those (um, crusty? ) classic FPS minds are still here playing Dust with us. We pass by them on the maps, excersising their playing style. We often smile and hand them a cane for their arthritis, as we leave them and conquer the maps using the real team-tactics we are learning in this game.
...Maybe they'll catch up to us before the matches get so expanded that those ole' CoD shooter techniques won't help them much at all... |

YES, thx for this extream fragfest CCP! I got the same feeling when I first tryed out and got hooked on Quake 3 Arena..
Good fun to just run around and spray bullets everywhere. Even more fun to squad up with strangers you never played with and have a blast together and just go straight forward and transform the air in front of us to contain more lead-molecules than oxygen-molecules....
Having been a Heavy from Closed Beta, I welcome the new suits. Now I just have to deside the right suit for my playstyle.
Thx again all for a superb weekend. |

For event threads like this it would be cool if the OP was edited with after event information (as well as important mid event changes). For this event: Mentioning the 2 million clone stretch goal would be good. A link to the Dust twiter account (for those who don't know). The total clone count at the end. Maybe some interesting data bits (highest number kills/deaths by a single player during event?) And when reward will be given out (when devs know).
It would give players more reason to check back here who don't want to sift through 20+pages. Maybe get players more excited as well.

For this event: Mentioning the 2 million clone stretch goal would be good. A link to the Dust twiter account (for those who don't know). The total clone count at the end. Maybe some interesting data bits (highest number kills/deaths by a single player during event?) And when reward will be given out (when devs know).
It would give players more reason to check back here who don't want to sift through 20+pages. Maybe get players more excited as well.
Reserve the second post (Saberwing loves doing it) and making it a FAQ.
If I can be quick enough for the announcement, I'll try to grab a first page spot and make one for the April (Commando) events.

For all those that doubted my comment about this possibly happening and suggesting that you activate it anyway because, well... Yolo.

LOL!!
Paran, you're cracking me up. You players are so TRUSTING when it comes to claims and promises about ISK and SP in this game. Remember?... We're an extension of EVE Online. EVE ONLINE!! More players have been banboozeled and extorted by their OWN TRUSTING HABITS, than by any clever tricksters in that game.
CCP originally said "By Thursday". I plan to close my eyes (walk around bumping into walls) until Downtime Thursday, before I believe that Santa will put 30-second Cool Down Enhanced Afterburners on his sleigh to get my SP to me today. It's not that I don't trust CCP... I just learned not to trust New Eden.
Believe me Paran, it's less anxiety that way. |

+3m SP
thanks for the bonus SP, CCP.
Having 13m already on Core Upgrades, with only:
dropsuit engineering/electronics repair tool active scanners scan precision range amplification biotics other than kinetics catalysis
left to skill up to lvl 5, which I might not for things like reptool,scanners and green and blue bottles
I'm in fact glad I'll have +3m from SP refund to spec into ALogi and CalLogi to spam those hives and uplinks!

Keyword "Bonus". No you didnt need a booster to receive the Sp, but you would need one to receive the bonus. Instead of 2mil you would get 2,5 mil

Well I know of at least a couple people didn't receive the bonus sp yet, my girlfriend, and my daughter. Their Dust ID's are Te java and Diablita Diablo. When can they be expecting the bonus? |

Hahn, hello!
That is not good news you're relaying. I got my SP gift, for BOTH my characters successfully. The only things I can think of that would STOP you from having received you 2 MILL by now is:
You didn't SUCCESSFULLY record at least 10 completed battles (COMPLETED, not started-and-left-battle, or started-but-kicked-out-in-mid-session-by-server-glitch) , with EACH of your characters (so, if you have TWO or more characters, you have to have fought 10 X 2 battles Minimimum.)...
CCP's Server did not correctly acknowledge your participation in the event.
They may be very busy with this Patch 1.8 loading going on,... but I would contact them and let them know you are an orphan right now. You don't want something like 2 MILL SP slipping through the cracks.
Let us know how it turns out. Good Luck!! |
