I don't know if anyone has posted a topic about this or if a dev has acknowledged the fact that people who played and/or capped out on Wednesday lost out on a potential 570k or 856k SP. I was apart of the group that capped out on Wednesday because I wanted to get the maximum SP possible, and I know people are going to say "Why did you play on wednesday , you couldn't wait one day?" I capped out on Wednesday because CCP confirmed that if we did manage to cap out we would not be affected. Its not the point that the event did not go as planned, it the fact of how they resolved it. The people who didn't play Wednesday and capped out Thursday got 571,200(856,800 with active booster) and CCP's answer to the script not working properly was was to just reset everyones skill cap back to 571,200 which basically gave the people who did not play Wednesday that played Thursday and additional 570K(856k) SP which in total is around 1mil+ SP or 1.7mil.

This is one of those situation where the developers had good intentions but something went wrong. I just hope the developers compensate for what happened or at least give feedback to this because it would be unfair to basically give people who didn't take CCP's word an extra 570k SP and give the rest nothing.Hopefully CCP has a way of keeping track of everyones SP or at least have a way of remotely keeping track of it.

Feedback would be appreciated, especially from a dev on this matter.

If you capped on hump day, then you're out 375ish SP. The game's free, and you're still earning a metric crap-ton of SP. Be happy that you're here for the event. I travel for work quite a bit, and I missed the last one. Less QQ, more Pew Pew!

You lost nothing its been fixed
Yesterday I had 300k+ SP left til I hit the cap, today its 500k+ sp til the cap

So did I but you don't see me crying about it; besides I am pretty sure the cap reset on Thursday again anyway

I capped on Wednesday, but the fix worked for me. If you're still having problems still, I would recommend posting in the bugs/tech support section, or filing a petition.

There really is no better option. They would either have to take away SP already earned, or do what they did and just reset everyone. If they did the former, there would be a lot more tears. Especially from busy people who set aside Wed/Thur to hit the cap, only to be told it was for nothing and now they have to re-grind.

Honestly though CCP, why on earth would you not have just taken one of the following routes?
a) Restore weekly cap to 3*190,400 = 571,200 LESS amount already earned or;
b) Increase weekly cap to 6*190,400 = 1,142,400 LESS amount already earned (if you were so intent on providing a "making-up-for-our-screw-up" bonus) as this is what some players have effectively achieved

two very feasible options right there mate

This assumes they can set an individual cap for every player easily, quickly, and without it messing anything else up. Not saying they can't, but it may not be as feasible as you think.

A few guessed something like this might happen and so played a crappy alt on wed, and capped on thursday. I bet some even capped friday. How come you didnt?

Everyone knows things go wonky with each step forward. One could argue that you people who capped on wednesday should stop begging for something then complaining when you get it. Or is it that you are jealous? Life is not fair and you cant have everything.

Unless of course you anticipated it all and acted accordingly. Wow that would be a nice bump were someone to have done that.

that was the overal opinion of basically all of us until 2 seperate blues, GM not support came in and said all was ok, no worries about playing wed

If you have been around, you expect CCP to muck up events, updates, and especially communication.

If this is your first taste of that, then learn from it.

I'm sure I have been around longer than you

So then you have nothing to complain about.

Just because a dev says something doesn't make it happen. How many broken promises do you need to be reminded of to not trust the blue posts?

How many events have gone smoothly since the open beta started? How many badly managed events does it take before you are cautious about them?

If you are not new, then don't be so stupid and then get to crying.

Stupid , no . naive maybe. crying , not really.

you might be right , but that does not make that a good excuse. as a matter of fact that is a very very bad excuse for them.

CCP" yeh hey guys, ignore everything we post , it's all going to be fkd up every time anyhow, just get on the game and play.. oh yeh buy some aur for our fkd up event please. Thanks have a great time"


This does not go on in eve on a regular basis, why the hell does it happen here

I agree that it is a horrible reflection on CCP. However, that does not change the facts on the ground.

CCP has shown again and again that events get messed up.

As players most of us should have the good sense to anticipate this.

If you, or anyone else is SP focused, there is twice the incentive to be cautious concerning events, especially something like 3x SP.

Not to you specifically, but anyone who is crying about missing out on SP should have taken one look at CCPs track record for events and had a strong hunch that this one would not get running without some sort of problem.
