This Wednesday - to grind, or not to grind

Is it even beneficial to grind on Wednesday? What will happen if we completely cap out on Wednesday (without booster) and we log in Thursday to grind some more? Assuming the cap would be raised to approx 600k SP for the 3x event and we got 3x SP for each battle (once again not counting booster, to make it simpler). How much of the cap would already be taken away because of our grinding on Wednesday when we log on Thursday? If executed properly, we should be able to grind another 400k SP (without booster) to get a grand total of approx 600k SP. I really wish someone from CCP would reach out and confirm this because they really didn't make it crystal clear on the Dev blog.

Ok, here is how it will go. What you do on wednesday will not affect your week cap with the 3x xp. Say you get 50,000 sp tommorow. On thursday, that will just mean that 50,000 gets subtracted from your 600,000 cap. So you only have 550,000 left to cap on. It has no affect on your total sp amount that you can get. If you don't understand I'll try to make it..."simpler".

So you're saying it's still basically eating the weekly cap. I think he's asking if we're getting the reset tomorrow, then another reset for a full amount on Thursday. That's what I'd like to know as well, so I can decide if I want to play at all tomorrow.

will the 1,000 cap go to 3,000?

Yes.

So will a booster raise this 600,000 cap?

So in conclusion, you can play as much as you want Wednesday, but if you wait till Thursday you can cap out 3x as fast. As well as playing on Wednesday doesn't particularly benefit you or hinder you. If this confirmed I would love to see a link. Thanks

When has a booster ever raised the cap?

Took some time, but I found the link!

It won't raise the cap, but you will get +50% exp, so it essentially becomes 900k. The cap itself stays the same.

Since ever...

If your weekly cap is 198,000

an active booster gives you an extra 50%

So that is a bonus of 99,000

So you end up getting 298,000

That is raising the cap. So what I asked, since the cap is tripled to 600,000sp

Will the BOOSTER give you the extra 300,000sp.

Since it is supposed to be X3 SP week, they should raise the capped SP to 3K.

That would make up for the unadjusted SP gain to SP sink ratio all this time. a little bit anyways.


To go back to 1K is pretty miserly.

No it won't last time they did 3x SP week you were still capped at 1000 after you hit cap. It just meant if you only earned 334WP you still got 1000.

Is this verified - is this what happened in the last XP event? If so then can I just run continuous ambushes for fast games and still earn 1500 SP (on active) so long as I reach 334 WP?
