More confirmation that the last 4 days of act one sees the cap double from 4.5K to 9K. I feel a lot better about being able to complete act one now. Still don't like that I'm spending large portions of my day with nothing to do for the vent but to wait for possums to reset but oh well.

Yeah but sucks for anyone taking a vacation or otherwise being indisposed during that period. I preferred past events where if you missed a day, regardless of which day, could make it up. With the new structure, missing a day toward the very end could be critical.

Thankfully my two off days fm work are in that critical 4 day period so I will be able to tap away!

Wait what? 21000 > 13.5k

As always...thanks for you work on this stuff.

BUT......... we are getting TONS of people (including myself) who capped today at 4,500... day 3... same as day 2...

GLITCH? Is there something in the code that is keeping the logic from rolling over each day at midnight?

The numbers above are totals. So by day 3 you will be able to do a total of 13,500 (4,500 x 3 days)

EDIT: Damn you aidx1054 , always one step ahead!

So there is no point in getting 4,400 in lower payout tasks and then doing a 1000+ task because it carries over to the next day? That's how I'm reading it.

This cap only applies to what is earned via projects, there is still plenty other ways to get blueprints

You are correct direwolf

Still makes no sense to me. Yesterday I earned around 3000 blueprints, just doing projects, and then was capped. Same exact thing today. If I can get 4500 per day from projects, where the hell are those other 1500 going?

Also, this is a stupid system. Major screwup number two for this event :x

Let me see if I'm understanding this correctly - if a player has more than 13,500 today, then they should no longer be getting any daily tasks until the day resets?

Tomorrow, players can get tasks until they hit 18,000 and then the tasks stop again?

Just wondering, because I don't seem to have that limitation.

What did you get from projects on Day One? Anything in excess of 4500 on Day One would have rolled over ...


In this event, it seems that if someone didn't play at all on Day One and didn't play at all on Day Two, they can play on Day Three and do projects right up until they hit the three-day accumulative 13,500 cap. They DO, however, miss out on the daily 1,200 bonus for Day One and the 1,200 bonus for Day Two.

By any chance do we have anyone out there who didn't play at all on Day One and was able to earn a lot on Day Two?

it doesn't mean that your overall event total is limited to that -- it just means that the total you earned specifically from the project tasks is limited to that.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying
