I mean, if you don't restrict it some fashion, it'll just promote vehicle spamming since it offers BY FAR the easiest way to farm kills on others. If the 2x-3x SP events have taught nothing its that people want to farm the grind as fast as possible. Why be an infantry and score ok when you can call in a tank, be invincible and farm tremendously more kills. Furthermore, sitting in a tank in an 'Origin' suit multiplies the effectiveness of the 'Origin' suit bonus, since you effectively will never die. Changing the script to only offer the gains from other infantry kills is the way to go. You know it CCP. We know it CCP. Let's not create an endlessly grindy event when vehicle/AV balance is at an all time low.
You're 100% right, people will be doing the easiest thing they can think of to grind out those points, especially the people from Nyain San (sp) , I'm going to be skipping the first couple days cause they are going to be absolute hell and protostomping all the way around. It will be a tankfest, along with heavies, logis, scouts, anything people think will give them that 1 up advantage. Also, for this event expect people to be killing you with a high powered sniper rifle then popping you again several times if they can, especially if they have a friend of their's on your team.
These type of events really bring out the ******* in people when they are not limited down. Oh and do note that people will be using RE's in extreme amounts as well like gernades since those are excellent equipment for scoring kills. |

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. No, you're misunderstanding. It's double the weekly cap (around 400k) in normal SP (gained from WP and time in match), plus another 500k in event bonus SP (like the Commando/Sidearm event) for infantry kills, at a rate of 50 per kill, or 100 for origin suits. 500,000 / 50 = 10,000 kills to reach the event bonus SP cap. Oh, well then . . . I guess I won't be getting anywhere near the 500k sp. That or one of the other posters here is right: PvE on April 30. And, if that's so, then 10k kills will be a blast!
I have extremely high doubts that PvE is going to be released for fanfest, I have more faith in....the entire Beatles band of those who are dead along with Mozart rising up from the grave, to give me breakfast in bed, while not only doing that but somehow convincing no less then ten super models to wash and wax my car, then ontop of that the president of America and Russia kissing on public tv and admiting they are long lost lovers, all in the same day and on my birthday. |
