Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi fellow capsulers,

This is just a proposal but I think it can lead to interesting things.

Basically, it should be possible to re-allocate SPs. How? Two ways of doing it:

- Percentage of your total SPs, so that it is fair among young and old players. 2.5% once a year, like the remap for the attributes.
- Introduce a way of un-learning skills. This will take half the time it took to learn them, and the SPs will go to a pool to be re-used for another skill of your choice.

Why allowing this? Lots of reasons:
- You might have skilled something and you don't use it anymore (lots of people have this problem)
- You want to have access to new ships (gives your more flexibility). This is even more true with all those ship rebalancing you guys in CCP do every 6 months.
- You bought a character and you want to change some of his skills to be more efficient.

...and probably much more.

What do you guys think about this? If you think this idea is worth something (or not), please say so, otherwise this thread is just going to disappear in the abyss of the forum

Actions have consequences so NO

No to this idea, for all the reasons posted in these threads before.

I could finally rid myself of those mining-related SPs from 2007....

-1 from me, even though I would benefit hugely from such a thing.

I know I saw this kind of thread within the last 90 days, so previous versions of this request are still open to be posted in. Therefore...

Requesting a lock, as this is a duplicate thread.

OP, I am prepared to live with my choices, why aren't you?

its ok to live with ones choices if you kow what you choose.

i dont like the sp/year because after a year of eve you know what you choose.
though i dont like the sp/year idea i think a fixed value 1x a lifetime may make sense so players new to eve dont get turned off.
remember when you started eve when even a skill with 12-24 h feelt long?

you contradict yourself.... you say no respecs because action should have consequences and then point out that one might have respeced wrong is a consequence.

so ill say EVE haveing consequences wont be hurt if you give players a one time only respec of say 5 skills or a certain ammount of skillpoints.

it would only help new players.
as i said earlier its ok to have consequences when you actually know what youre doing.

which i cant understand.

i all for makeing eve better accessible for new players cause eve does profit from new longterm engaged players.

and in this case i think the pros of a possible 1 time respecc of a limited amount of points would have more players stay and thus would have a positive impact on the game in general.
as you said it would not rid the game of consequences cause a respec itelf would have consequences itself aslong you get only one.

you misunderstood me... at least i make that of your comment .

i dont support the % suggestion from the original poster but a fixed amount of skill or skill points being reallocated 1x per char.

so the ones who benefit are those with few points cause the points that can be reallocated are way higher % of their Skillpoints

i would glady rid me of those few mistakes i made on my first char but thats not the reason i support this cause im not a selfish ass**** and dont only post on the forums to support things that are good for me myself and my char...

all people who play eve for a long time and possibly tried to bring other people to the game will know how many things there are can turn people away from eve.

ccp has made efforts in recent years to make the game more accesible without "dumbing it down" as people are afraid whe int comes t new player friendly changes.
i cant understand the hostility towards such a one time only possibility , even with this there are endless possibilities to get punished in eve.
