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 And once again it is as clear as mud. If it works like you say. Then the 1000 of the 3000 extended cap you got no bonus for the first thousand. For example you cap out the first day as you suggested. Then you extend the cap to the triple amount everything you already capped got no bonus for? Why be so cryptic when you communicate with us? Yes, the way I read this is if you play at all Wednesday, you're still screwing yourself. It appears that CCP has no control over this. It's either they don't care, or they can't change it. My assumptions are it's too hard to / they don't want to change any code revolving around server downtime and resets so their events are thrown sloppily on top of it all. And they deal with the consequences. Is this result of Iceland/Shanghai cooperation, or communication or what?
actually acording to what they just posted you will earn the same amount of SP if you play on weds than if you skipped weds and started thurdsday
sp cap =1000
cap wed get 2000 added to your cap = 3000
dont play wed get sp cap of 1000*3 = 3000
either way you get 300% of your weekly cap |

For the posters above me, he explained it as this. Max cap is x. If you cap Wednesday, then you will have done 1/3 of x and on Thursday the other 2/3 of x will unlock. Granted Wednesday cap would be earned at normal speed but Thursday you would gain at 3 times the speed. Playing Wednesday doesn't hurt you, just doesn't earn as fast.
That is correct. If you play Wednesday AND hit your weekly cap, then the extra SP cap from the event will allow you to keep playing starting on Thursday so you will still recevie the triple SP from the event. The total amount of extra SP from the Triple SP event that you can earn is the same whether you hit your cap on Wednesday or not. In other words, you won't miss out on earning any extra skill points from the Triple SP event if you hit your weekly cap this Wednesday.
this way of doing thigns make it so your not penalised for playing if you feel like it on weds.
very very nice change from the last time an event like this was held and i would like to say thanks for them making that change :P |

the answer is no
they add 2x your cap to your claimable SP for the week on thursday
you get 3x your original cap weather or not you play weds or not.
when the cap resets again just after the event they dont add more SP to your unclaimed reserves and therefore there arnt any
they have changed how they do these events on the backend to prevent this and other issues that were had in the past. |

But reset is Wednesday and the event ends Thursday..? I hope you're right but I'm not in the proper state of mind to conclude such things implicitly from the above blue posts The event ends next Wednesday, July 10th. I take it that this is the chance to cap out another 900K in one day?
techanically the server reset is on weds morning so maybe maybe not, just clear your calender and wait and see |
