Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Complete reskill models would kill this game.

But what might work is a "single skill" reset for an ISK fee with no more than 25% return. So this way you would need ISK first and you must consider that your character will overall loose SP in the process. So when you have a skill with 1 million SP in it you will get 250.000 SP back for reinvestment.

So i can be a combat character one week. Switch to max out my marketing skills and research. Then switch back to max pvp skills....

yeah it seems reasonable

But really, people were willing to pay 20 dollars just to have their portrait changed. They are willing to pay PLEX/15-20 dollars to have their attributes remapped.

How much do you plan on charging for a full SP reallocation? 100 dollars? i hope so because if you're only charging 15-20 dollars, many people will be doing this every other week

At this point in EVE’s evolution I am beginning to wonder if it matters anymore. Crack it up to a crazy question (and I am not asking for change), but does EVE really need a skill point training system anymore? The game has always been more of sim with SP tacked on as an excuse to call it an RPG. Why not just get rid of skill points altogether and simply let people research, build, and pilot what they can learn to play and afford to fly?

ill look into that.

That would be chaos. People in EVE can often afford to fly something long before they have the SP to do it. It would also eliminate the strategic element of planning your training.

I miss tom gerard.

I support this idea.

I say let anyone who wants a reset of their skill points because they make a mistake pay RL$ and reset their total skill points to ZERO.

That way they can start over and do it "right" from a fresh perspective.


It sucks, but I agree with most responses here in that older players will have the same opportunity to focus their 100M+ skills to better kill you.

Besides, what happens to all the injected skills that have per-requirements? Do they just vanish so you need to buy them a second time? We already know that CCP will not refund them from a previous mass removal of skills.


Please search the forums for previously proposed ideas that seem to look exactly the same as this one. The responses are just as similar.

After talking on this topic off and on for like a year now, I've come to the conclusion that the only skill remap I'd support is allowing players to remap 1-2 million skillpoints after their first 12-24 months of play. Consider it a reward for the continuing subscription and a way to recover skillpoints wasted to noob mistakes.

When I started to play I trained for ice mining, so invested heavily in those skills setting everything aside. Then a personal crisis hitted me and I did not play for a year. Now I am back and just reactivated my account and I found mining so *beep* boring and want to be a manufatcurer.

However my ship skills are rubbish and most other skills to - does this annoys my little left toe and make it itchy? hell yes - but hey - I can train up the skills needed -all it takes is time and that what I love to hate about EVE. You do not have it? Train!

Get implants and plan your yearly remapping accordingly to skills using same attributes and stick to it.

IF a resetting of skill points at all should be even considered it should be only for
- Base skills
- Only trained to level 3 or less
- No prereq skills can be trained
- Only ½ or 1 million skill points total can be reimbursed
- One time only

And even if so decided it is still not a good idea. Live with the mistakes you have made just like you have to in real life.

Which is why I ended my post with

But guess you did not think that was important enough and making my own statement obsolete.
