It was meant to stack with passive SP gain. A booster augments the standard SP gain, either active or passive.

If it isn't, it isn't working.

If you get X SP in one minute with passive an no booster you should get X * 1.5 with the passive booster enabled.

I lost 6 days as well before I noticed - when we came back in after the wipe I noticed it didnt ask to "activate passive" but thought it was smart enough to know - doh, pays to pay attention. I wouldnt expect a reimbursement on this as it may be difficult or CCP to sift through the petitions on this as there may be many effected. Be vocal about it when on channels to make sure everyone knows to check - without it much of our "2 week advantage" from beta testing is lost.

Method:
Timed how long it took to gain 20 points of SP, one point at a time.
Divided the total time by 20 to arrive at the cycle time.

Passive with booster: 2.35 seconds

Passive moved to an alt with no booster: 3.59

2.35 * 1.5 = 3.53

Close enough to blame my reaction time for the 0.06 second difference.


Conclusion:

Works as intended.

However there is still a problem:

A 50% bonus to 3.6 should mean a reduction of 3.6 by half. 50% of 3.6 is 1.8, not 2.35 as you have stated. So there is still a bug.

did this last night you were right i wasnt getting ANY benefit from the booster i bought for a few days now. fixed now but hopin ccp gives us the booster back since i wasted like 4 days of it.

There's not.

Without the booster you're getting 24 000 points / 24 hours (one point every 3,6 seconds).
With the booster you're getting 36 000 points / 24 hours (one point every 2,4 seconds).

To get one point every 1,8 seconds you'd need a 100% booster ;).


EDIT: I'm getting the 2,4 second tick so the passive booster does work (though there may be some bugs, who knows :P)

all this is cool but when will we get the lost sp back? any one from ccp care to answer that lost 5 days

ccp should refund wtf : ( I'm down like 100,000 sp. Thats a lot!!

you can only have passive sp active on one char at a time. if you apply the passive booster to a char without passive sp gain active it will do nothing and be wasted.

I'm going to keep bumping this thread so more people are made aware of this serious issue. By seeing this thread at least I was able to get 1 of the 7 days of boosted training I had paid for

I think you're misunderstanding. =( Your purchased booster should have been working all along. It was the default passive SP gain that we all set to run on our main (without additionally AUR purchased boosters) that was not working correctly. For whatever reason, that general passive sp gain did not start up automatically after the wipe. Purchase boosters did. Part of the problem was that with AUR 7-day boosters, most people saw that their skills were passively gaining so most never bothered to question whether the default passive SP gain was counting along with it or not. We all just assumed it was, until recently.

The optional passive SP gain we can apply to ONE character failed to start on its own. Switching it to an alt, and then back again fixes that.

The PURCHASED 7-day booster worked normally.

Missed points are missed points, I know! I just want to make sure it's clear which is which.

All the best,

- me.

Ouch, I lost like 6 days...

Same here. I fixed mine last night.

Is there anything we can do about this?

I missed that thread as I do not have passive boosters and didn't cared ...

Checked last night and got the same bug as well. No passive skills for the last 7 days

So check your passive gains mercs if it's not ticking you need to switch passive gains to ALT.

It still doesn't work on my character I made an alt and tried it 3 times but it still doesn't work can you help me?
