+20% turret damage, +20% missile rate of fire, Whaaaaat?

So I opened EvE today and on the login screen it says:

Free cerebral accelerator with all new accounts
+3 to all attributes
+20% damage bonus to turret weapons
+20% rate of fire to missile weapons



So I must be missing something here, because that is obviously insanely overpowered. The 6% rate of fire or 6% damage to turret implants that exist now are the highest you can get and they're like half a bil.

So are these going to be char-tied to the new toon itself? If so, everyone will pretty much be forced to make a new char...

If you can buy and sell them, then its going to change the face of the game...1200 DPS mission Tengu anyone?

Or, am I missing something?

You are missing the fact that they only work when the toon is <1 month old.

you're missing the fact that "toon" is a stupid pubbie word

Henceforth, the graphical representations of our characters shall be known as pubbies.

For example: My pubbie wears glasses and walks with a 5 degree list to port, as evidenced by the picture next to this post.

That is all.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I know it's difficult for you since your so 'smart' but you could just try using the word 'character '. If your feeling fancy, try 'avatar' on for size.

And stop degrading our game with your ignorance and apathy.

it's 30 "officially" but they put in 5 days grace/leeway so 35 in code.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

ya, that's a term I thought I got away from when I stopped torturing myself with WoW. but then I looked at the forums. I really want to find the group of people that started calling it this and go neuter them all with a mining drill attached jackhammer.

Sigh... goons start using the word "pubbie" and now suddenly everyone wants to be cool and use it as well.

Newsflash guys, if you're not a goon you're a pubbie. Stop embarassing yourselves.

This thread is now for apathetic people to post in.

Assuming they care enough to actually click reply of course.

To use nicknames for a certain type of person is what pubbies do, therefore meaning that by using the term pubbie, you are also a pubbie.
