So the weekly skill point turnover is Wednesdays, if I were to grind all day and hit my cap on wednesday, with the tripple SP event starting Thursday, would I still be capped? Or will it reset? Or just add more SP for me to gain?
Its not very clear as to how this is going to work when we are all used to Wednesdays being the start of the weeks SP.

Sorry if I'm not making much sense, its just confusing for me.

Post Cap: will I be limited to 1000 sp gained or 3000?

I was pondering the same thing. Could be extra SP if everything resets Thursday or you could lose out on the extra if it does not and you play Wednesday.

I don't understand the logi suit reward for installation destruction - how does that match? You need a tank or a forge/swarm to take them out..

Triple SP means you earn triple the amount as well as the cap being tripled.

BPC means Blueprint Copy. Basically you earn 50 or 100 copies of the item.

Wait. CCP_Mintchip? When did that happen?

Mordu's Challenge - How can we track our progress on this event, or like the Human Endurance event are we going to need a pen and paper handy next to our PS3?

Will there be restriction on planet name?

Good work CCP, But shouldn't you have events every month?

Unfortunately we don't have a way to display your progress. So get your pen and paper handy.

I'll try to get an answer for you about this by tomorrow.

Guys the triple cap goes like this.

We start off with 197,000 something SP. Triple that = 591,000. If your running active booster you multiply new cap b 1.5 = 886,500
Also by the way I read it rewards per match are tripled as well.

What I did not see is that passive bonus will be multiplied.(so it remains the same.)

once the SP cap is reached, will we get SP at a 3/1 ratio as WP, or will it be the normal 1/1 ratio?

^^

Another important question. Can anyone remember how this was handled last event?

^^

Another important question. Can anyone remember how this was handled last event?

I'm pretty sure we received the normal amounts of warpoints last time. That said, wouldn't it be awesome to see 150 points pop up every time you got a kill?

Not really. Because triple SP and triple reward is a carrot to play, but not to grind anymore than usual.

3x SP after cap would be just a horrible grindfest of disappointment and fail

I'll try to get an answer for you about this by tomorrow.

Need to know if passive SP is tripled?

If yes...

Standard: 168,000 + 190,000 = 358,000 x 3 = 1,074,000

Passive Booster: 252,000 + 190,000 = 442,000 x 3 = 1,326,000

Active Booster: 168,000 + 285,000 = 453,000 x 3 = 1,359,000

Both Boosters: 252,000 + 285,000 = 537,000 x 3 = 1,611,000

If no...

Standard: 168,000 + 3(190,000) = 738,000

Passive Booster: 252,000 + 3(190,000) = 822,000

Active Booster: 168,000 + 3(285,000) = 1,023,000

Both Boosters: 252,000 + 3(285,000) = 1,107,000

Need to know if passive SP is tripled?

Passive SP is not tripled. Also, you math wrong.

why on earth does that falschion have a blaster turret on it.....

because missiles= very bad at the moment

passive IS tripled, just like the last time the event was held

Passive will NOT be tripled, just like last time. That would be a little much.

Haha, I feel bad for any tanker who might want a reward themed to their playstyle, you know they wont get out of their tank to hack an objective

I think 100 hacks in a week is a crazy unreasonable feat.

Sounds like a trophy feat , not a week long event feat .

I guess if you don't have a job and can play 12 + hours a day it's possible .

Might help get people to play your event if it seemed realistically achievable .

Dev Mintchip,

Will hack assists count as hacks, or is it strictly Hacks?

Thanks,
Clyff

when you get the assist the war points you get say "assist" i assume this means it wont count towards the hack

its safer to assume you dont get the "hack" points for the assist hack when doing your own personal counts

Am I the only one who has noticed the extremely large potential for exploiting the 100 Hacks Event?

Corporations can easily form multiple squads then que into the same battle on different sides and simply take turns hacking any installation or objective.

missile was never bad to begin with at least large missile, missile are meant to destroy armor units like supply depots, installations,crus,armor tanks i run a succesful missile logi its the damn rails that has to gtfo rail tanks > all other tanks

Could you perhaps clarify the dates/days of Mordu's challenge? The 11th and 18th of July are not Mondays, they are Thursdays.

Thank you for the interest in the July events everyone, below are answers to your questions regarding the events.

Triple SP Event
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.

2. The passive SP gain and caps are not part of the triple SP event, so they will work normally.

3. Your extra SP earned from skill boosters do not count towards your weekly SP cap. For more info on that go to https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=74943&find=unread

Mordus' Challenge Event
1. The 100 Objective hack challenge includes all hackable objects in-game and includes vehicles, CRU, turrets, supply depots and the skirmish objectives.
2. Hack assists do not count.

The above info has been updated on the events dev blog. Thanks again for your feedbacks.

...if we only had the Omega boosters available on the market...that would be a 6x instead of a 4,5x.... damn it

So just so we're 100% clear, if you have an active booster the best thing is to start playing Thursday, but if you don't have an active booster you're fine to start playing Wednesday, in order to maximise sp gain?

Yes, this time around we are doing the Mordus' Challenge event from Thursday to Thursday instead of the usual Monday to Monday. We hope this will allow players more flexibility to schedule their playtime to participate in these organized play events.

passive boosters are not being effected by this event.


so no 6x SP even if you have them

referring to an active Omega booster which gives you a 2x you could have gained 3x2=6x. Didn't say anything about passive omega, but if you had this as well then passive earning would be doubled independently from the event. Clear?

Unfortunately we don't have a way to display your progress. So get your pen and paper handy.

I really expect more from you guys

Perhaps you can update the blog, since you have the dates printed as Monday 11th July until Monday 18th July.

Also, did you realise that 00:00 is an ambiguous time? It's not clear is that time is midnight at the start of the day or the end. It would really help for clarity if you used 00:01 or 23:59 (even if you actually use 00:00).

Can one of the helpful and intelligent community team pick this issue up and add some clarity to the devblog?

Cheers!

This isnt a maon, but why in these type of events do heavy rewards seem to be left out?

Also which timezone? We are +15GMT here.

lol so no one should play on july 3rd(Wednesday) because the event starts the next day... so im going to wait for the rage to come in to LOL.

my only question is if i cap out on the 3rd and then cap out on triple sp week since i have active booster on, can someone tell me if my math is off? (190,400 x 1.5) + ((190,400 x 3) x1.5) = ?, just want to make sure i got my math right

There has never been an omega active booster; only a passive one.

My thinking is even if its isn't only objectives everyone will be destroying the CRU ,turrets and supply depots so we will be stuck hacking strictly objectives .
Only so many objectives and so much time in a week.

As I interpret the cap: You still receive triple SP but since the cap is set at 1000SP you will only get a maximum of 1000SP post-cap but you will only need to earn 334 WPs to reach the cap-maximum.

No this would be fairly unlikely since almost everyone would try to do it so your chances are slim of even getting to verse another squad of 6 corp mates, on top of that there arnt that many corps who can have 2 6 man squads que syncing.

More likely some corps will plan a CB with a friendly corp and not kill each other, theyll just have people at a point and hack it over and over with hack modules to get as many hacks per game as possible.

Please triple passive SP as well so that those people missing out on the triple SP event don't actually 'miss-out' and get further behind vets.

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.

The last time they had an event like this, it worked like this...


NORMAL CAP
194,700 = 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 DAY
584,100 = 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

Ok sorry if i repeat stuff but i stil wanna have it clear in my head.

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?

So any news yet on whether or not SP cap is re resetting on Thursday, making Wednesday an SP fest like last time?

I have a question about Mordu's Challenge. I have 3 DUST 514 characters on my PSN account, can i do certain challenges with 3 of my DUST characters? 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.

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.

Ummm correct me if I'm wrong but this event starts on Monday July 11, to July 18th.

The 11th and 18th of July 2013 are both Thursdays! A Slight typo maybe?

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.

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.

I've poked around a bit and can't find this, maybe I just missed it.

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?

im still confused with this, people are telling me we can hit cap tonight for 200k and then thursday DT our weekly is reset meaning we can get another 600k from the trip sp cap?

others are also telling me that once you hit cap tonight 200k then after thursday you can get a further 400k - but that doesnt make sense to me how is 3x our cap 400k? why isnt this event just starting today...?

you can get up to 3000 and 4500 with a booster

So with triple SP and triple SP cap...

You will reach SP cap in the same amount of time (WP/Games) as before, but it will have accumulated 3x as much SP.

Is this correct?

It is very simple... really.

3x SP CAP = 3 times the normal SP cap for the week.
3x SP after reached CAP = 3000 sp instead of the 1000 max.

Is not rocket science.

Im pretty skeptical of that, any source to that info? Ill find out soon enough either way, just curious

I have a question about Mordu's Challenge. I have 3 DUST 514 characters on my PSN account, can i do certain challenges with 3 of my DUST characters? 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.

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

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?

...winning teams from both regions will meet on the battlefield to win the right to rename a planet within the New Eden universe...

Triple SP means you earn triple the amount as well as the cap being tripled.

BPC means Blueprint Copy. Basically you earn 50 or 100 copies of the item.

CCP,

Yesterday I played after reset and by the end of the night I had about 70K Bonus SP left.

This morning I log on and start with Approx. 194K with a x3 multiplier. This has happened with a couple of friends playing this morning as well. So what it seems, is that with 10 games (say averaging 20,000K {with x3}) I will have capped out.
Yet on my alt (Rorschach Dusk), I started with 560K Bonus SP.

Now what kind of event is this? My cap was not tripled, I was just given another reset this morning (Thursday) and a x3 booster.

Some help please!

No, I'm sorry, I do know what's happening.

To tell the truth, I had about 90k SP left before the cap this midday. After my first game, I checked my cap, I had about 270k left before the cap. So this week, I will make 90k plus 270k = 360k. The cap is usually 190K, so with the 3x, it should be 570K. The 210k difference is the punishment for playing wednesday.

I have a simple question to the "Kill Assistance Reward"

What is counting ?

(a) Every Kills Assitance Message inside the battle which gives 25 WPs
(b) The number of Kill Assistances shown in the Battle report?

Regards

yes to both... they are 1 in the same

Na, not really ... f.e. in one game I only get 2 or 3 messages for Kill Assistance but later in the Battle Report there where more, I think 8.

I talked about this to my squad members and they told me, they had the same impression sometimes.

What does BPC mean? blue print ....

its possible your just missing it when it pops on screen

100x installation destruction GÇô Logistics M/1-Series Dropsuit + BDR-8 Triage Repair Tool (all equipment is Minmatar themed) 50 x BPC

What's xBPC mean?

yes to both... they are 1 in the same

What's xBPC mean?

How do you check your progress?? on kills/hacks/etc....

In the offical mordus event news article it specifically says enemy.

Good job on the events ccp. Keep em coming.
I would like to echo what a few people have posted about Mordu's Challenge.
The 100 installation destructions is pretty much impossible if your not a powerful tank. The CRU and Supply Depots can absorb far more damage than even a proto suit and proto weapon can deal out. Can you please include vehicles in the event so that newer players at least have a chance of reaping all the rewards. (Still be very difficult with a low level swarm or forge gun, but at least it's possible)
Look forward to the response
