EVE General Discussion

**** that ****. Hell no.

Definitely so. But they want people to log in, so...

Not really. If they up it to 3 days people will want a week, if they put it up to a week people will want 2, etc. Like Tippia said really the skill queue is just a buffer, its not "hey lets put 3 months of training in and never log back in."

Actually, they should go for a 3-7 day queue if it doesn't eat up alot of resources on the server. It would be nice when helping a new player to allowcate the majority of his skills when helping them. Often they wander off and they fail to follow up getting help in what is really essential in terms of skills. Next thing you know they are in a battleship with support skills at 2 or 3 and they don't understand why they getting the crap kicked out of them.

I support a longer Queue!

if you log in you are more likely to create value, content & entertainment for other players than if you don't.

true story.


CCP relies on you paying them so you can create the content that other players will pay CCP for. That's what makes sandbox mmos great.

I still don't see the problem. :)
Skill training as described in other previous posts was a pain in the neck, rear, butt and toe.
So the pain got fixed.

Ever since it got fixed people, some of them, wanted more because of various reasons, like I'm on a holiday for 4 weeks! OMG! I cannot change ma skills!!!!
So what? Its a game. The current queue is more then long enough. It doesn't break your game play, it forces you to nothing but thoughtful skill planning. So you lose a couple of hours , maybe a few days even.

So what? It is a game. Serious business I agree but still a game.

If there is one timer that should be changed then it should be the time between clone jumps. Even getting it cut down to 23 hours would have significant impact on a lot of peoples gameplay.

But well that is my pov. :3

I don't mind the 24 hour window. I just just wish we could queue skill book injection.

They mentioned something like that last year or the year before I think, nothing ever came of it.

Two reasons:
1) They want you to actually log in and actually play the game
2) They don't want people to take a character, queue up 6 months of skill training, and then go sell the character once it is ready to "come out of the oven".

Yes, but the thing is, many times people log in only to change their skills, and then get distracted by something which convinces them to play the game.

Perhaps their corp is running a mining op
Perhaps their alliance has a CTA to defend a home system
Perhaps they see that their POS needs fuel
Perhaps they see that their POS is reinforced
Perhaps they see that a big market order was fulfilled and they have billions of extra ISK burning in their wallets

etc... etc...

Also, yes people can "just log in and change skills and sell it 6 months later", but this is a LOT more annoying and time consuming than spending 10 minutes to sign up for a new account creating a character and then loading a predefined EVEmon skill plan into the skill queue and then never touching the character again.

Think about it - if the only investment into a character that someone needed to make was 10 minutes, then what is stopping illegitimate users from signing up for hundreds, if not thousands of accounts for the sole purpose of harvesting characters? No, that would be a nightmare for the rest of the playerbase, so I prefer to be forced to log in, thank you very much.


Furthermore, if this WERE put into place, then people would start complaining about how they can't play the game for 3 months because their character isn't "done" yet. CCP would have to change starting sps AGAIN so that every character starts with at least a basic set of skills which players deem mandatory.

And then we would have even MORE alt cycling suicide gankers/scammers/spies/etc...

I literally see nothing more than marginal benefits to an unlimited skill queue, and so many potential disasters.
