Train all characters at the same time.

I have been training for years and years.
As a result, I have one useful character, One almost useful character, and one character that I kill off from time to time for reasons I'll not post.

I think it would be better if we could just train them all at the same time.
It would be for everyone, so it's not like it gives anyone an unfair advantage.

Also, it fixes the useless alt problem. I am far less likely to use my alt's to do unsavory things I wouldn't want to live with If they all had so many SP's that I couldn't justify just throwing them away.

You can train multi toons, it's called paying/plexiing more than one account.

The power of 2 offer will help you out on this one.

I would love to see that but it won't work, CCP need money from multi accounts.

I have multiple accounts. And can assure you I would still need them all for dual, triple, and quad boxing.

How about yes, but make it a payable feature, like montly fee minus 20% to unlock an additional skill queue.
That way you can have 1-3 chars training on one account, if you don't need the option to have all chars online at once.

I would like to see at least a logout to character screen. Sadly somethings just never happen.

"useful" character after years and years of SP collecting??? i can't imagine what is your target for this character.

about training of all chars at the same time: i don't see it like problem. make another account, and train char. result? you have 2 chars you can use at the same time.

or buy char with skills on character bazaar

Only sensible suggestion so far.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

1.) Wrong forum. Try Features and Ideas Discussion.

2.) The idea is good as long as one has to pay PLEX or money for each character in training.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Oh...what about using plex to train your alts on the same account? That way everyone has a win win Bear

C'mon that is a great idea!

No other game uses a passive character "leveling" system either.

Well no other game that ask for a monthly sub has the need for a second account.

Pretty sure eve is the only game where its pretty much a necessity to have a second account to get by.
Granted that if you make enough isk you can have the second account for free.

March rabbit,

My target for this character is the ability to fly every ship in space effectively. Which I've almost accomplished for Caldari. I'm working on the Titan skill finally. I've got minmatar effective to t2 battle ships and galente to t2 cruisers.
Extremely good missile skills, and fully trained gunnery for projectile and hybrid plus all the supporting skills to 5.

Does that seem like overkill? ;)

Which isn't true at all, as i have none other accounts and i am doing great.
I don't even use the other chars in my slots, except for making screenshots in the char.-creator.

Why minus 20%? You think CCP should lose money when allowing this?

I have an alt on the same acct which I trained up, but I'd like to split it off so it's a separate account (don't mind paying) so I can actually use it properly.

I'm an idiot, and when I started training it, I didn't think about what I was actually gonna do with it, and now I've learnt that if you delete an alt which is on the same acct you don't get a reimbursement of SP. I can appreciate that, but I would love to be able to split the alt away onto a differnt acct.

But I don't think it's a good idea to allow them to train simultaneously - lost money for CCP.

PS If you actually can split alts off please can someone tell me how? Big smile
