Player Features and Ideas Discussion

hell no..... why punish players through a very high skill time just to be able to take advantage of an existig feature?
multiplier should be 3-4 so a player who needs it can skill it without beeing robed a ton of skilltime.
but players who dont realy need it wont end up skilling it.

we all (inlueding CCP) profit if eve is played more so don't make it harder to play more

Very very good news!

I ******* love this change. If you are ever in Kansas City, let me know, I'll buy you some BBQ...(this was for CCP Rise only, or CCP devs in general ;) )

not sure if trolling..

IMO, I'm not sure its needed, that and giving people the ability to load clones across all of new Eden's probably not the smartest idea. You'd wind up with spy jump clones in stations, people would be jumping clones every few hours to go across the entire universe instantly. CCP wants people to deal with the logistics of eve at some point.

eh....Its odd to have more, not a bad thing, but not necessarily a good thing either.

thats for the advanced version budy.

the basic one i would argue be a iv.

i am hopping intromorph trained to iv.

maybe science and biology too.

A reduction to 19 hours is very fair.
I imagine won't players won't take it past 22 hours, as it gives them the time buffer to manage RL and this damn game at the same time.

1 hour per level, helpful I guess.

Skills like this annoy me. They simply get in the way of a good experience with the game.

Look at the traditional way skills were done in Eve: Damage increases, capacitor reduction, CPU / power-grid enhancement....They all give me a nice boost to my stats in PvP and PvE, or to simply making money faster when it comes to industry.

This doesn't really fit in with that mantra. From your own admission: "The goal here is to avoid situations where jump clone delay pushes jump clone use back a bit each play session until eventually people wind up stranded in the wrong clone during their few hours of play time."

A noble reason, but you're not addressing the core issue here. People often play at different times daily. Changing the jump time by a few hours is only going to move the limit to that new time. 5 Hours doesn't really offer that much flexibility.
Flexibility = more pew pew. Most of the people I know who use JCs use it because they PvP. Please realise this, along with that even a 5 hour reduction is a annoyance.

You end up with a situation where I could be playing till say 11PM one night, log in the next day at midday and I can't JC. Why? It's a different day. Different people are online doing different things to yesterday. Heck, an entire different timezone is probably now predominant on Tranquilly. Why do I have to fight this stupid mechanic to get fights easier? I've resorted to podding myself to another station numerous times because of it. It's not exactly a great way to reward those who want to PvP.

Ironically, the guys in our corp who deal with industry and mining rarely JC. Stop punishing those who want to get into PvP faster and easier. Let us fight each other, not a boring, non-interactive mechanic.

By adding this skill, you add a skill which simply makes the game less annoying to play. Tackle that reason at the core, not by patching it with a skill.
