In addition, for every infantry kill scored, you'll receive a bonus 5,000 ISK. But you can gain even more by using the "Origin" dropsuits! When equipping these suits, available exclusively in the DUST 514 Origin Pack, you will receive 3x SP from WP and 7,500 ISK per infantry kill. Maximum bonus SP earned through this event is 500,000 with a 10,000,000 ISK reward cap. This means you can double the SP weekly cap, plus earn a 500,000 SP bonus on top for your performance and up to 10 million ISK! HereGÇÖs the breakdown: But waitGǪ.thereGÇÖs more!
- Between April 30 to May 7 (11:00 UTC), all SP earned from WP in matches and the weekly SP cap is doubled.
- Earn bonus 500,000 SP and extra ISK per character! Every infantry kill will give you an extra 50 SP and an additional 5,000 ISK (capped at 10,000,000 ISK).
- Equip any Aurum "Origin" dropsuit from the Origin Pack and reach the bonus cap quicker with 100 SP and 7,500 ISK per infantry kill!
- The total potential maximum during this event is: double weekly SP cap + active booster bonus + 500,000 bonus SP & 10,000,000 ISK based on your number of kills.
With the 10th EVE Fanfest nearly upon us, we are celebrating by giving away 10 Origin Packs via Twitter. To qualify, follow @DUST514 and watch for our tweets from the 1st until the 5th of May! Give us your best answer and the DUST 514 dev team will select the best responses. Winners will be able to redeem a code via the PSN Store that will be provided via Direct Message. Please note that this competition is available only to SCEA and SCEE accounts. Additionally, we will be gearing up for Operation Origin through a promotion on the Origin Pack - with it's price reduction of 50%. The pack features items that will help you slay your enemies and gain bonus ISK and SP gain in conjunction with the Operation Origin in-game event rules. By entering this contest you agree with our Terms of Use and Conditions.
I started writing the event conditions out and it looks something like this:
1. Double weekly active SP cap
2. Double SP from WP, up to maximum of 500,000
3. 5,000isk per kill to maximum of 10mil isk
4. Triple SP from WP, up to maximum of 500,000, when using Orgin suit
5. 7,500isk per kill to maximum of 10mil isk when using Origin suit
6. 50% price reduction on Origin Pack
But I'm still not sure if this covers everything as there's the mysterious 'Every infantry kill will give you an extra 50 SP', which might just be describing one version of condition 2, or might be a seventh condition.
If you must have such complicated events, please write the conditions out in a numbered list. The informal mode of presentation you favour always, always leaves something open to interpretation. |

I should add that we told you already that we don't like these grindfest events. It looks like it will take basically twice as long as usual to cap out. Providing a PTW option to bypass the grind via the origin suits just adds insult to injury. |

Just to clarify this part. Before we cap out on the double weekly bonus SP, we will get the usual SP, which is: 50/60/75 WP multiplied by the end of match WP-to-SP conversion(affecting WP from kills only - no hacking, logistuff WP) plus this additional 50 SP (100 SP in origin suit), right? And, once the weekly cap is reached (1 WP= 1 SP), we will only be getting as much as 50/60/75 SP + 50 SP (100 SP) counting towards the infantry kill cap, correct? No. It effectively functions as a normal double SP event (so for all actions that give SP) plus a extra bonus per kill, with the extra bonus per kill having a separate cap. But you are correct for once you hit the cap.
Okay, now you've really got me confused. You're saying that the 50WP bonus for a kill is in addition to the double SP from WP? So before I cap, a kill gets me:
1. The usual 50WP
2. +50WP because there's double SP from WP
3. +50WP because there's a separate bonus for kills specifically
=150WP total
Is that right? |

CCP Logibro wrote:So a small change
We've change the flat SP bonus per kill amount from 50 to 250 SP, and 100 to 400. This does not change the standard 2x SP earning for base earnings or either the weekly cap or the bonus cap.
So, just to clarify for everyone:
2x SP earned from all actions, weekly cap is doubled. This is affected by boosters exactly as a normal double SP event.
Additionally, for every kill you will earn an additional 250 SP and 5,000 ISK, or 400 SP and 7,500ISK if you are using either of the Origin Suits. This is capped at 500,000 SP and 10mil ISK. This additional SP and ISK is not affected by boosters.
All of the event pages and descriptions will be updated to match this. If anything is still unclear, please post your issue and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks, this is an improvement, though for future events it should really be at least 500SP for the bonus per kill if you're putting the cap that high. Very few players would seriously attempt 2,000 kills in a week. It's not really possible for people working 9-5 and with any kind of social life/family. But as I say, it's better than it was. |
