OPERATION ORIGIN 30 APRIL - 7 MAY

CCP hit us with another good weekly event. Here are the details:

To celebrate 10 years of EVE Fanfest, during the week of the event (April 30 to May 7), you will receive 2x the normal Skill Points (SP) from War Points (WP) earned during matches! In addition, for every infantry kill scored, you'll receive bonus SP and ISK. But you can gain even more by using the "Origin" dropsuits! When equipping these suits, available exclusively in the DUST 514 Origin Pack, you will receive even more SP and ISK per infantry kill. Maximum bonus SP earned through this event is 500,000 with a 10,000,000 ISK reward cap. This means you can double the SP weekly cap, plus earn a 500,000 SP bonus on top for your performance and up to 10 million ISK!
Here’s the breakdown:

• Between April 30 to May 7 (11:00 UTC), all SP earned from WP in matches and the weekly SP cap is doubled.
• Earn bonus 500,000 SP and extra ISK per character! Every infantry kill will give you 250 Bonus SP  and an additional 5,000 ISK.
• Equip any Aurum "Origin" dropsuit from the Origin Pack and reach the bonus quicker with 400 Bonus SP and 7,500 ISK per infantry kill!
• The total potential maximum during this event is: double weekly SP cap + active booster bonus + 500,000 Bonus SP + 10,000,000 ISK based on your number of kills with all dropsuits.

But wait….there’s more!

UPRISING 1.8 UPDATE AND SKILL POINTS REFUND

CCP Frame announce on DUST 514 forum some details about UPRISING 1.8 update on 25th March. Here it is:


Dear players,

After lengthy discussions with the CPM and large amounts of community feedback, the decision has been made to refund all skill points currently spent in the Dropsuit Command tree to players’ unallocated SP pools. So, if your preferred racial frame didn’t previously exist, you’ll be able to switch to one of the newly available suit frames without penalty.

Please note that this change will happen automatically as part of the Uprising 1.8 update and is aimed for deployment on the same day. This will result in all Skill Points invested in to the Dropsuit Command skill tree being refunded, along with the ISK from all affected purchased skill books. Additionally, this may result in players having to retrain previous skills within the Dropsuit Command skill tree.

Uprising 1.8 Deployment is currently planned for the 25th of March, and we hope you enjoy the new Dropsuits and other new content. We can’t wait to see you using all these in the battles to come!
