For perspective: 10k kills in 1 week = 1428.5 kills a day = 59.5 kills an hour every hour = ~1 kill a minute every minute for 7 days straight.

Is this intentionally impossible? Did anyone do the math? Did anyone check the weekly leaderboards before they set these goals? This week's highest kill count from a single player is less than 4k.

I don't understand how people got to 10k kills. The SP side of the event involves a double weekly cap - - just like any other double or triple SP event.

As for the isk, without the pack, one needs to get 2k kills to cap 10mil isk. With origin suits, one needs about 1,350 kills.

I think confusion arises from the following questions:

1) Is the cap for the bonus 50 sp per kill part of the 500k weekly cap?
2) If the cap for the bonus 50 sp per kill is not part of the 500k weekly cap, then what is the cap for the bonus 50 sp per kill?

A clear and precise answer would be appreciated.

I feel sorry for anyone wanting a real game on oceania servers

I will NOT be activating an Omega booster for this. The last triple SP event was grindy enough with all the glaring vehicle/AV imbalances and how easy it is to farm kills safely in your indestructable tank. I'm sorry. I'll be watching Fanfest, but I will not be ground up by tanks looking for easy kills while our AV is utterly ineffective at curtailing their use.

After careful consideration I came to the only logical conclusion... CCP will introduce PvE against drones on April 30. That's the only way it's possible to get 10.000 kills in a week.

According to this guy it means we would have to do 1 kill every minute for 7 days straight to cap out this event. Meaning it's 2 kills a minute in the case of the full 100 kill SP going towards the bonus SP cap. That's basically impossible to do in PvP.

So either this event isn't intended to be even remotely capped out, or we get PvE where it would probably be possible to do 10.000 kills in a week with a little effort.

I mean we all know CCP likes to make us farm and that's fine, but during the million clone challenge they also said they want to keep the eventgoals doable. And 10.000 or even 5.000 kills in a single week is definitely not doable if you still want to do silly things like sleeping, eating or working.

Long grind is good, try impossible.

5.000 kills -> 714 kills / day -> 30 kills / hour -> 1 kill every 2 minutes. And we're talking 1 kill every 2 minutes straight through 168 hours. No downtime, no break, no eating, no sleeping, no working.

It's basically impossible to cap that event. Not even a tanker is able to accomplish this.

Hmm... well, let's try to figure it out.

40 suits per pack, 20 Assault C-1 and 20 Logistics M-1.

Assuming you're decently good at the game and cherry-pick your matches pretty hard (i.e. leaving whenever you see an organized enemy squad), let's say you can put up a consistent 3.0 K/D, since you're in STD gear using whatever shitfit CCP came up with.

5000 kills / 3.0 K/D = 1,667 deaths (rounded up).

1667 deaths / 40 suits/pack = 42 packs (rounded up).

42 packs * $4.99 per pack = $209.58

On a scale from 1 to nope... noooooooope. Not doing that. Bad event is bad. Transparently milking us for all we're worth. If you want SP, you're infinitely better off spending your money on passive/active boosters.

Why do people feel like they have to hit every cap?

Just play the game. Enjoy it. The cap prevents exploiters from abusing the offer too much. Relax. Chill.

TAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Looks like my 73k Soma is coming out of the shed xD
