Awesome!

This is a great additional feature that will be very useful in lots of circumstances!

It's not a replacement for alt accounts, but is perfect for training up a fixed-skillpoint alt for a specific job when you don't want or need to have a full second account always subscribed.

Thank you very much!

This to me is by far the best feature you ever added to this great game! Now I can train my alt, I made years ago.

Go the full distance.... Increase the number of toons per account to at least 9. Allow us to login multiple characters at once.

IE: If I'm paying 2 plex's per month I should be able to login 2 toons on that account. Nothing worse than trying to make the right combo of pilots + cynos work when there are ridiculous account restrictions. IE: toon1 on account#1 with cyno. toon #2 on account #2 with carrier. toon #3 on account #1 with jump freighter. See the problem? Would be a ton easier if I could just whichever 2 toons I need.

Will you use this opportunity to make single character training a bit more usable?

Let's say I want to train a very short skill (a few hours) on an alt character that isn't worth a plex. Currently we have to:

1) Log out
2) Log in the character currently training and pause it.
3) Log out again
4) Log back into the character you want to train temporarily and start the skill.

Why can't starting a skill from an alt automatically pause the other character on the same account?

Nifty feature. I approve.

Very interesting! I currently don't have an alt but I use the two on my account fairly often. Training multiple accounts could be useful indeed!

It might also be nice to divide SP per hour between characters, so I can enable training on another character, then pause it when I want my main to go back to full speed. I understand this is a more complicated case though.

Since the PLEX/15$ I spent on my main is essentially paying for bandwidth, the content, enhancements, etc, and aside from the training queue advancing, can we get more for the PLEX?

Either:

A dual training character can log in simultaneously as the main account, or
The second training queue provides a slightly longer period. (40 days? 45?)

I like the feature either way and will likely use it, but you are charging a full PLEX for something that has little to no impact to your system.

I hope hot-swapping characters is on the table next!

Keep it up CCP.

This is a HUGE task. Really big emphasis on how difficult this is. Not comparable in scope to what we had to do for this feature.



It's funny because we were just discussing how the technical changes implemented to allow for this feature would also allow for pausing a character you are not logged into. Not likely to make it for Odyssey but certainly something we will consider for the future.

Excellent call.

Oh, there'll be complaints and conspiracy theories, and accusations of "pay to win" but I can't see that this makes a game-breaking change. Sure, people who PLEX will gain in flexibility and capability, but if they're able to PLEX this, well, they've already more-or-less 'won' at EVE anyway, so what's the point in complaining?

Where I see the largest complaints coming is from the fact that this capability would've vastly eased dealing with the Battlecruiser teircide update.
My response those (still imaginary - for now!) complaints is - "It's here now, and all future updates to skill progress will benefit. Deal."


Not an easy subject to get right, but IMO, it has been gotten as close to right as is possible.

This new feature has a UI problem. Please keep the option to activate dual training 2 steps away from activate game time, to avoid... accidents , i.e. below the "return to redeem items" option.
