Yeah boosters are going to run rampant, because it's literally impossible to cap any other way.

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.

WTF You noobs HTFU and run Spambush!

Still missing the point. Iv always had the rule if ARU gear has an advanatage over std gear i will stop playing dust a lot of old vet communty had this redline too.

At some point you have to draw a line. This is mine because its only a small step to go

"due to the sucess of the orgin suits they shall keep their event advantage, which in this case is faster isk and d
Sp gain"

And so on as i said once i clamed down this will be fine for most but not for me.

Dust514 has given me little reason to keep playing. It has now given me a reason to stop playing

CCP shouldn't have revealed the cap. Pretty sure 10k kills was meant as a hard cap last resort to prevent a users from making 100000000000 sp.

Basically they don't intend anyone to hit the cap, think of it as just 50 sp extra per every kill, no cap. The cap isn't there to be grinded, it's just there as a fail safe.

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.

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!

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.

Iv said my peace. Its not the event itself its the very idea of giving a stright up avantatge to a suit i didnt like it with bossters but decided it was a side effect of the event. This is a concues point.

But disagree with me this is not russia if u think im overreacting fine, simple means the communty is happy to pay for event advanatages etc. Its been a slow creep and this is were a get off. Best of +º
Luck with ccp with fanfest maybe i will see somthing i like but i doubt it.

Ok... so we need 10000 Kills to get the full bonus SP? Or did I get something wrong?

That would be so juicy. I really, really hope that's the fanfest announcement, but I doubt it.

This community is just great. Love you guys. We set a high bar for reading comprehension.

I think it's 5000 (+50sp or 100sp a kill) unless you use an origin suit then its about 3300 or ( +100sp or 150sp) a kill. Just don't quote me on this, as you never know with CCP

Either way, it's to long a grind and shan't bother with this.

It will be ok if you're a tanker otherwise just play like you normally do and be happy that you'll scratch the surface if this.

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.

A very biased event in favour of those who use the Aurum Suits ,
