Wait does that mean that mean someone could of gotten 6x sp

Quite a grind there.

Looking forward to get this sorted and some more SP available in my pool. Good luck.

Edit/Also it says you will reset the pool? So does that mean, that if you did cap out yesterday after the DT, you will receive another 571k SP to use now? Seems kinda unfair for those that capped out Wednesday and got nothing compared to the ones that capped out yesterday (or until DT today) and they get another 571k to use.

/c

I know and I would of done it to.

Not unfair. CCP derped, they fixed the issue now. It's a good thing
Those that played on Wed - Thurs got their 190k originally (probably more) and very few got 570k (those that didn't play on Wed at all). Essentially it is 380k at most, but probably even less than that missed. You gotta be really hardcore to get that :D But nobody is going to die from that SP anyway. Well, some of them. But hey.

This is a very unique chance for players such as I, who waited to play until Thursday. I plan on capping before the downtime (which wont be too long) so I can get the dual-cap event to hit the ground running.

If I am correct though, people who didn't play during the event today will be getting a new shot at the triple SP with refreshed skill cap. The nice thing about this is the amount of grind combined with boosters, as follows.

Play all day Thursday with boosters activated and get 4.5x SP modifier, until capped out (which I anticipated doing only on Thursday) which allows me to get 856,800 SP in one day. Then, once the cap is restarted after downtime, I can get an additional 856,800 SP anytime after the cap readjustment on Friday. Since I (and many others taking advantage of this opportunity) are going to cap out again with boosters, this means that in the course of two days, I can make 1,713,600, which divided by 190,400 (SP per week) comes up to 9 weeks of time needed to get this amount of SP.

So, for 2 dollars in boosters (3 day active booster), and starting and expending my cap on Thursday and restarting cap on Friday and repeating the process, I can get 9 weeks of SP progress (assuming the person in context reaches the cap) in 2 days.

Tl;Dr: This is going to allow people who planned ahead to get over 2 months of SP in only a couple days, if done right. Looks like my patience to wait until Thursday was not in vain.

CCP, thank you for this unique opportunity; Its times like these where people are able to catch up to the "Big Dogs" of Dust 514.

Wait does that mean that mean someone could of gotten 6x sp

So if I cap today after down time I will have a whole weeks work of sp to grind again?

Crap !, I knew i should grinded all my SP yesterday ...a bit of a miscalculation on my part...

To be fair, no one (not even CCP, from what I've read) saw this coming. This was pretty spontaneous; you still have time to finish as much cap as you can though in the next couple hours. You would be surprised how much SP you can still gain if you aren't currently busy.

yeah well.. that is the problem, i'm busy right now...But i did saw this coming, i just wasn't expecting to happen to day. Ohh well.

Don't sweat it mate, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for you to catch up where someone else won't. Everyone gets their shot at at an opportunity like this, but not everyone can exploit it. Likewise for the next time something similar in the EVE Universe happens. (Who knows, maybe there will be an event I may miss that everyone else will benefit from)
