Since the triple SP was postponed a day do we get an extra day?

A couple people in game told me they extended it one day since it was shorted by a day. Just trying to find the truth.

Yea! what he said darken-sol. Not so smart now..huh?

As stated earlier, it could be potentially even more imbalanced.

Do the math.

If someone was able to fully cap 190,400 in one day....what makes you think they couldn't recap thier 571,200 from Friday to Wednesday, and then do it again the following Wednesday?

I mean, after all, they did it on July 3rd (190,400 X 3 = 571,200). Why couldn't they do that again on July 10th?

Now, compare that to everyone else who couldn't cap out in one day.

This also plays with those who have more than just a couple hours available on Wednesdays. If they could knock out a substantial amount, say....100k, vs players that might only get 50k--then they are shortchanged. Compare the numbers:

100k x 3=300k, they have 90k left after next downtime and 3x is cut off (190k-100k).
That's a total of 390k for that week.

50k x 3-150k, they have 140k left until next downtime (190k-50k).
That's a total of 290k

So... no matter how you slice it, it's still unbalanced.

Have to remember their intent was to give everyone a shot at earning 571,200 SP within the duration of one normal SP cap.

Have they not met this goal (and even exceeded that, might I add)?

They've delivered what was promised. Those that were able to exploit the situation and got more, should be thankful they've gotten to keep it. Another game I've played was notroious for taking away anything gained due to an exploit, including banning people for taking advantage of it.

why should they feel compelled to extend it an extra day? It's a holiday weekend, and there was still 5 full days of playtime until it would terminate.

Are you really thinking CCP is afraid people would feel disenfranchised because they couldn't cap out their SP in 5 days versus the originally planned 6 day window? Especially when it's stamped all over nearly every guide/forum to this game to start a 7-day booster on a Saturday so you can cap out before Wednesday reset and then cap out again before the booster wears off so you get 2 caps worth at 1.5x the normal rate?

Really?

/facepalm

They have provided what was planned. Sufficient opportunity to earn 571, 200 SP from Wednesday to Wednesday. No matter how it happened, (capping out Wednesday or Thursday, then again after the reset Friday, or just once after the Friday reset)---everyone has had an opportunity to get the promised shot at 571,200SP.

Now, those that were able to benefit from the slip up and get as much as 2x that (capping once, then hit it again after Friday's reset)---not sure I'd be mouthing off about it, in case big brother decides to take action against you for exploiting the glitch.

last time it said it would end on thursday, it ended thursday morning, so this event will end wednesday because that's when it said it would end.

So no, no Thursday

edit: technically last time they said "through" thursday, but yeah, point still stands.

long live sloth who survived the ban hammer.

Sorry.. just delivering what was asked, just took a while to gather the information, but it wasn't all that hard to find.

So, worst case scenario Wednesday turns out to be a regular Wednesday. Best case scenario we get a possible 500kish SP cap (without boosters of course...) Sounds win-win to me.
That is all. Eriknaught out. END TRANSMISSION.

Sup?
