Aye, that seems to be true too. While I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, I would like double WP and double Active Booster SP as described in the OP.

Respect for being understanding and not one of those ranting around.
Looks you might've misunderstood few things:
* The WPs are the same but when converted into total SP rewards their value is doubled to usual. Effectively giving about +20% total increase (+/- 10%)
* There has been no talk about active booster effectiveness increase. Although a bit confusing terminology, this time the "active skill point gain" only refers to actively gained part of your SP rewards which are the WPs.
While that maybe true, I still don't feel like I'm getting any bonus. I "normally" get 7K to 10K SP per match (i.e. non-event), I would have expected to get more from the event. Essentially, having to grind less. |

Now the event is over I can confirm I wasn't getting double WP or Active Booster. Now I'm grinding the "normal" cap I'm getting pretty much the exact same amount of SP as I normally do irrespective of the event.
While I appreciate the event and extra SP, I, like others, have found the event to be a massive grind fest (more than normal!). I run 3 characters and by the time I finished all 3 I was nearly burnt out and even contemplating not playing for a while. I guess this isn't the kind of reaction CCP would hope for.
The previous event (Tripple SP), the WP and Active Booster was correct, I was getting between 25K and 35K per match, meaning the grind wasn't as taxing. This event was the complete opposite.
Please CCP, can you c/d that WP and Active Booster was borked during this event? |

It was working as designed - it's just the design ended up meaning all players would have to grind for more hours in order to hit the doubled SP cap.

Your SP reward is calculated by 5 SP for each second that you play + 1 SP for each WP that you earn. The event changed that to 5 SP for each second that you play + 2 SP for each WP that you earn.
Clearly when most of your SP come from the time spent in the battle and not from the WP that you earn, you'll find that your SP reward does not double in size. This is the way that they designed it, though many of us pointed out that the consequence was an increase in grind required to hit the SP cap for all players.
Thank you for the explanation, which I have seen before in this thread, my point is that now the even is over I'm still getting the same SP at the end of battle. To me it didn't feel like I was getting double WP as you describe.
Say what you like, the fact there was no blue post c/d the double WP theroy would elicit more questions. |
