Event is live.
The way point events work, for those of you unsure, is that you are given a list of tasks akin to dailies, like "use support X times" or "use X energy" etc, and these give points (on top of other rewards). There are 3 lists, but they're time gated so you're stuck with the first one for now. Basically, you just have to do all you can every day (login, deploy 20 supports, do all your sims, like dorms (for others), craft reports and gift them as much as you can, roll if you're a whale) and you should get enough points without any problems. The event runs for like 3 weeks after all.
