Bullshit. Even the best employees make mistakes and it's not worth losing good people over them.

Hey, be fair, maybe he works for some kind on Bond villain. I hear their employee entitlements are very poor.

My drone Avionics has been bumped down from V to I, presumably because I only had scout drone operation trained to V, and combat drone operation to 1. Guess my drones are basically nearly useless now, unless I want to delay my current training for five days...

So you missed the part where the guy with the blue tag said they know, they're fixing it, and if you don't want to wait you should put in a support ticket?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Patch seems to have fixed it. My character sheet in Eve Gate still has two drone avionics skills at IV but I checked in-game and there is only one, and it's at V. Which is what it was before

I submitted a ticket, but response time on MMO tickets has never been stellar, at least in my experience...

I would personally appreciate a bug that grants me 200m skill points in all relevant combat skills and industry skills :D

Anyway I haven't noticed this happening to me...I think...

We'll be deploying a fix for this very soon, but in the meantime if you are affected by this issue please file a support ticket and we should be able to sort you out.


Okay, thank you for the information.

... and here I was thinking "yay more free random SP for no ascertainable reason" and then worked out you only got free SP if you trained Avionics AFTER the first patch when you didn't really need to.

Well I guess this is a bone for those that has both CDO V and SDO V cause our skill levels are staying the same.

I've got nothing against the coder who scripted this skill transfer, mistakes happen. What is annoying though is this issue with the DLA was pointed out multiple times by the community to both CCP Fozzie and Rise, and they simply ignored it. Only then to get some poor coder who is probably fatigued from implementing the massive crius release to do a hash fix for them.

If they actually listened to feedback as Greyscale has done excellently during this Crius transition, then this hash fix would have never been needed in the first place.

To be actually accurate, a bunch of people queried this issue, then checked on Sisi when Kronus was first uploaded there and discovered that the DLA skill requirements hadn't changed at that time. So no skill awarding was needed.
The DLA skill requirements was an unannounced change on Sisi less than a week from expansion, meaning unless it was Fozzie & Rise who were responsible for the module skill change, they won't have had time to adjust at that point to the change.

The fact a bunch of noise was made a couple of days before a patch for a very late change doesn't mean Fozzie & Rise 'ignored' people. It means someone made a very late change that should have been done earlier so proper follow on adjustments could have occurred.

Hehe, yep, only affects one alt of mine as all the others had CDO V trained really early on because I wanted the damage. Alt affected was made shortly before update so only got CDO to 1, and now has DA at one.
All the rest still have DA at V, so it's just a minor script error that shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Funny, I do stuff like this all the time and they STILL let me in the hospital


Let me know what hospital...I would like to make sure I have alternatives planned if I am ever in serious need a medical attention in your neighborhood.

Yep, totally lost DLA II. If you look at Drone Avionics, and required for, you will see it only activates DLA I now

Gave me a scare when I went on a mission.

I assume this stuff up will be fixed in tonight patch
