Boosting everyone's passive SP gain does little to negate the difference between those who participate in the event and those who don't.
The same goes for any argument boosting everyone in order to let some ppl catch hardcore grinders. Grinders gain always the same bonuses so there's no catch-up. |

(190,400 x 1.5) + ((190,400 x 3) x1.5) = ?, just want to make sure i got my math right  Your math is wrong because Cmdr Wang has specifically stated that your cap does not reset on Thursday. So you hit 190,400 on 3rd, then can get a further (190,400 x 2) between 4th-10th. Your total active SP will be 571,200 regardless of the days that you play. (if you have an active booster this goes to 856,800 SP). The reason it makes sense not to bother playing on Wednesday is that it'll take you the nomal play time of about 12 hours to cap out on Wednesday, and then 'only' 8 hours to cap out again between 4th-10th. A total of 20 hours for the week. Whereas if you wait until Thursday 4th, then you can cap out in the same 12hrs for the same SP. tldr: save your time and play from Thursday. I hope someone with influence at CCP takes note here and realises that starting events on different days to SP cap resets just leads to problems and confusion.

Absolute Idiom II hit BANG ON on every point.
That is exactly to logic how SP gains are (barring any bugs) going to work.
Also, I totally agree on the suggestion in the end. |

The last time they had an event like this, it worked like this... NORMAL CAP194,700 = normal weekly SP cap. *292,050 SP* = weekly cap with booster 1,000 SP = max per battle after reaching the cap. **1,500 SP** with booster during triple SP DAY (yes, it was only 1 day)... TRIPLE CAP DAY584,100 = weekly SP cap (IF you could hit it in one day, which I did) *876,150 SP* = weekly cap with booster 3,000 SP = max per battle after reaching the cap **4,500 SP** with booster clear as mud right
I don't recall any single 3x day.
You're probably referring to Mercenary Holocon event https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=709847#post709847
which lasted from Wed April 24th to Thu May 2nd.
It was a week long event, HOWEVER there was a normal cap reset on Wed May 1st which resulted in 1 day of triple SP gains before the gains were removed.
So there was a 24h grind to gain weeks trip SP. But is was a part of an 8-day event.
(Another HEAVY reason to have events like this run Wed-Wed or whatever the reset day will be.)
---
And because of that I remember very clearly that Holocon Events SP gains: AFTER hitting the cap were exactly as Mr RKKR described. |

So to keep it simpel 1/3 of the total sp for this event is available wensday, so if i cap out on wensday, thursday the other 2/3 of the total event sp wil be available for me. So no sp reset but its on a hold till event realy starts?
Yes it can be said that way. Even tho the logic works a bit differently in the background but essentially that's what the devs mean. |

DUST Fiend wrote:So any news yet on whether or not SP cap is re resetting on Thursday, making Wednesday an SP fest like last time?
Yes earlier in this thread:
"1. The weekly SP cap will reset on Wednesday, July 3rd as usual after DT. If you hit your weekly in the first day then you will still be eligible for the extended SP cap for the event on Thursday. For example, if the weekly SP cap was 1000 and you hit the cap on Wednesday before the event starts, then on Thursday we will extend the weekly SP cap to 3000 so you will have an extra 2000 added to your weekly SP cap for the event. Of course, the number I used in the example is just an arbitray number and not the actual SP cap amounts in order to illustrate the point. "

Also, last time the beginning wasn't the problem, it was the end as the event was still in effect in the first day of new (cap)week. |

Or do I have to do all 4 of the main challenges with 1 of my DUST characters to earn the special challenge, if I get the main challenges done.
Last time with item reward event (The Human Endurance one) it was per character.
For example, I got the MEP kinetic red cans twice coz I reached 100 games on two chars.
Not an absolute fact but likely that this is the case again. |

Do we know if SP after cap is tripled as well, up to the 1000 SP per match limit?
So will you only need 334 WP to gain the 1000 SP (less with booster), or will you stop gaining triple SP once you hit your cap? you can get up to 3000 and 4500 with a booster Im pretty skeptical of that, any source to that info? Ill find out soon enough either way, just curious There was a CCP response in this thread or another, either way a booster gives you 50% more of whatever you get and the cap is increased to 3000 from 1000 so if boosters didnt effect it id expect a refund for my booster
I guess both Dust Fiend and me are skeptical about Soft Cap being tripled. (the SP reward per game you get after reaching your weekly cap).
Last time, in Mercenary Holocon, it did NOT give 3000SP unboosted.
You got 1000SP UNBOOSTED but with low WP count of 334.
Again, this is not fact how things are going to be but a precedent. |

Thinking to next week, and sorry if this has been answered and I missed it. Next Wednesday when my SP resets will I have until Wednesday at 23:59 to try and triple out my weekly SP in one day. Just like what everyone was planning but at the end of the event?
NP.
So far CCP's this type of events have been switched on on Downtime and off again at DT.
I think Dev already confirmed this earlier in this thread.
So, when your cap resets the triple event also (should) end. |
