If you want to get the booster bonus from the Million Clone Challenge event this weekend, make sure you install the booster you want to use on your character anytime during Friday, March 14 and it will work.

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.

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.

If so, they weren't very clear and should check again tomorrow. Agrios Endendros Heavy Haruko Endendros AV Logi ~ Canti Endendros Pilot ~ Zero Endendros Support Logi
