I activated mine after being weekly capped. And it never extended the +50% to total weekly cap. So I assumed when the next week started it would apply the 50% extra weekly cap towards the second week. I'm fairly sure it did not.
and having extended it once, now I may have lost 2 weeks worth of 50% of the weekly cap that I paid for. If this is the case it is most upsetting as there was nothing in the item description about the detailed mechanics for the augmentation.
Anyone have a similar issue? have I in fact been ripped off / mislead or is this my imagination?
PS. how much is the weekly cap? so I can see how much I may have lost. |

That's half of what I'm trying to figure out. |

Buzzwords wrote:basically the boosters 50% "doesn't count" so far as your cap is concerned.
so while they do allow you to build more than a weeks worth of skillpoints in a week; it doesn't exactly increase your cap. it multiplies the sp you earn under the cap. you still need to be able to earn those skillpoints in the first place to multiply them.
why does that distinction matter? because if you wait until after you cap out to plug in your booster, you effectively wasted the booster. ideally you wanna plug the booster in before your first match of the week, so it can be applied to the maximum amount of skillpoints.
See I wish I'd known that before, or that I could get a refund for the two I've wasted now.
It has 3 days left on it. So will I get this 50% bonus for starting tomorrow? Then I should let it die out and restart it when another Wednesday hits?
Last question, does passive SP count against the SP cap? So if I wait too long will my passive eat into my bonus and effectively kill it? |

Well I'm trying that now but I just realized, there might be another issue.
What if somebody were to start an active booster on Friday. Then reach their cap (presumably getting the 50% weekly bonus over). But then the next SP week starts and they played again to cap on the second week before booster ran out. Would they effectively get two weeks of 50% bonus for the price of one? Would it work in the second week then?
Or does it simply not add the bonus to the second week anyhow, meaning I'm screwing myself again by trying to "salvage" this second week, where the first one I activated After cap.
These are questions CCP should have addressed in the item itself.

Then yes, you will get the bonus 50% weekly to both the first And second week? |
