I recently petitioned my skill loss, which i wasn't aware of until i looked into my skill list, epic i know. So like i was like wtf where are some of my skill?! Why is my caldari bc at 4 with 20days away when i had it on 5, why is my gallente bc on 4 with 2 days away from 5?!
No minmatar bc or destroyer although i had both battlecruisers and destroyers on five, okay, i didn't have the minnie frig, i don't care this is my pvp alt and he won't fly minnie, but an epic loss in skillpoints?!

So i get this reply from a gm:

-------edited so i don't get a ban as advised bellow..----------


And its okay i really did die in those 2 occasions, but i had an updated clone, and wasn't prepared for the injection of a few million skillpoints obviously!
So, my fault for not beeing prepared to go into the skill tree to see how many skillpoints i got? i don't think so, i consider ccp should have sent an evemail or warn people. Setting me back for almost a month on hulls i fly into pvp? Thanks guys at CCP, i never said anything against ya, always promoting eve everywhere i go, ffs i even bought half of your online store when it went on a sale..

Epic, just epic... Next time, do more for some of us who cannot be connected 24/7 and be on alert for such changes at the moment they land, if i had a previous warning about the amount of skillpoints injected i would have updated my clone, i mean losing skillpoints is just plain stupid and it would never happend to me

I only lost skillpoints one time on my main, and that was a tengu sub, i mean you can see the irony.... Thx for your awsome notification system which you could have used to send an evemail about the injection of the skillpoints, im really proud to represent you everywhere i go and putting in a good word that eve is a game like noone other, yeah, i don't see that happening in the future anymore, who would have guessed that people are so easy to dissapoint..

Guessing this is a troll, but in case it isn't, the skill changes have been announced for over a year, people have been mentioning that clones will need to be upgraded for at least a couple of months, and I want to say that CCP actually did mention it before the release as well, but can't remember exactly where.

And anyway, that only covers the 55k loss. The 768k loss is all you... you had a clone, lost it, then got podded again without buying a new clone. That has nothing to do with the skill changes.

(Edit: At least one mention is at the bottom of the dev blog explaining the changes: "However, we will not adjust clone level if the refund causes your total skill points to go above your current clone capacity. If you have Destroyer and Battlecruiser 5 trained, you should account for approximately 6.2 additional million skill points, thus we highly suggest you think about upgrading your clone accordingly, especially if you plan on going into hostile or remote space.")

I suppose this is one of those moments when one should ponder on the question of whether to cry or laugh.

Cry at the folly of human race or laugh at the misfortune of your fellows.

On a more serious note; OP, the posting of GM correspondence on the forums is very much forbidden, I strongly recommend you edit your post before the ban hammer falls.

1. IB4TL.

2. The second instance of skill loss, the one referred to here:


Quote:
At 2013.06.05 18:14:37, you updated your clone once more to contain all of your skillpoints.
At 2013.06.05 18:18:17, you lost a pod which caused the clone you bought above to be used up.
At 2013.06.17 18:45:47, you lost another pod. As you had not updated your clone again since the previous pod loss, 768000 skill points were lost from your Caldari Battlecruiser skill.


...was entirely your fault, and had NOTHING to do with the skill split.

You got podded, you didn't update your clone, and you got podded again while you had an Alpha clone. That's entirely on you.

You lost exactly 55,505 skillpoints due to the skill-split pushing you above what your current clone covered, and your inattention to this fact. That's about a day's worth of training time.

You lost 768,000 skillpoints because you got podded, didn't update your clone at all, and got podded again. Having to buy a new clone after a podding is not a new thing. Nothing about the patch changed this. You ****** up.

In short:

You be dumb.

I have to guess that an enthusiastic player like yourself woud have evemon loaded and running.
Evemon gives me a notice on any characters that have an "Insufficient Clone"

I would also guess that skill points mean a lot to you. And you were well aware that you would get a bunch of 'free' skill points at the patch. (You still have a net gain of 5 million+ SP, but yeah 20 days lost on a BC skill is bad.)

I do not love CCP, nor do I approve of many of their actions, but in this case your anger is misdirected.
Clones are very much a players responsibilty. Your #1 agenda after getting podded should be a med station.
Seriously, it's your fault. Try not to ruin your own game over misdirected blame.



PS: I lost 22 days of BS V one time. I now have like, 56 days into Caldari BS V.

You should have known this up to a year ago, your own fault. Deal with it.
