Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This thread has basically devolved into new players whining about how they cannot set months and months worth of skills at one time. As I've stated before life issues outside of the game are the players problem, not CCP's. Going out of town for an extended period of time? Take one of the aforementioned steps I've detailed in previous posts in this thread. CCP isn't here to cater to your every whim you sniveling quims. The system was put in place to mitigate SP loss via a 24 hour time frame before your skill ended. Can't make that window? Tough. Bitteret? By definition yes, I guess I am. All I want to point out is even though he stated he wanted an extended queue in this thread a pilot went off to war, which was his particular life choice he still put in place steps to keep his account going. What did that have to do with CCP? not a damn thing.

I'm not new. I've been playing since '09, nearly half the lifespan of the game thus far (hell, I remember Learning skills). It's still a problem.



On the contrary, since it directly affects revenue and player retention, it very much IS CCP's problem. It's not their fault, but it's certainly within the sphere of their concern.

By the same logic, you not getting cell service in the particular area of town you frequent isn't the cell company's fault. You are paying for access to their towers, and frequenting an area out of range of them. It's not their problem.

Except it becomes their problem when you decide to swap to another carrier (like I did in the same situation) that actually has service there.



Sharing your account info is both against the EULA (stop encouraging disallowed and disciplinable actions!) and very stupid in a game like EVE. Remote desktop clients are a security vulnerability, and there are some (like my brother) who literally cannot install them without getting fired from his job.

And then there's situations like my scouting alt, who's longest skill train available at the moment is an 8-day rank-2 V.

That's all of the options you've provided, and you've yet to provide ANY reason NOT to allow this, other than that you simply don't like it and don't see a use for it personally (which is complete bunk as far as counter-arguments go).



And now we've gotten into the ad hominems. We've not made you angry, have we?



Except, as above, it DOES have something to do with CCP. Specifically, their frakin bottom line. I myself have canceled my subscription before purely because I couldn't see a reason to log in to the game every 1-3 days to update my skill queue when I didn't have time to play much at all otherwise. That's money out of CCP's pocket, and thus out of the development wallet for this game.

Your right, lets make it 25hrs.

The irony. Bless their bitter, shriveled hearts.

Eve.....is a destined journey.

The steam locomotive worked as intended too.
As did the biplane, and the outhouse for toilet needs.

The fact that something works as it was designed to, does not also include that it must also meet the current needs after time passes.

That computer from 10 years ago?
It could play EVE back then.
It worked as intended.

Something can work as intended, and still be obsolete.

Solution to "problem" (not really a problem... insert proper amount of sarcasm):

New skill: Skill queue lengthening.

2% per level.

I'm all for it.

I think everyone here would be ok with that.

Except of course the whiny crybabies.

HTFU.

I want to believe this a troll post, I really do.
Make the queue the size of eve mon ffs CCP if i wanna plan my skills for the entire year in one seating why cant I? The only logical reason a company would have such a short queue for adding skills in would have to be to keep an image of many players online, or to profit from players unable to feed their queues which is pretty low. But I guess when your CCP and hemorrhage money by abandoning 4 year old MMOs and FPS you need that upper hand.

No it's working as intended because it hasn't changed are even considered for 6-7 years

I'm only the minority here because I'm bored and besides running AFKtar's have little else to do than poke noob's with a stick. Most others probably just don't even bother with these threads anymore.

As far as the damage it could do the economy? I've stated it in a previous response to this annoying request to CCP, I suggest rereading all my posts till you find it. Perhaps something might sink in, I doubt it. Again the skill queue in eve is "Working as intended".

.Accept it.

I also have to say no.

This is one of the few games that allows character training offline, most other MMOs require grind to gain SP/XP. Therefore it stands to reason there would be a limit on just how long offline one would be able to train. CCP want people logging in and it was their main reason for the 24 hour limit. As well as char farming and I'm sure other unforeseen issues.

The queue's primary design, was to remove the need for 3 am alarm clock changes and the need to stay online for those short skill changes.
It wasn't ever about extending the time you could be away from the game, which some seem to be losing sight of.

Now Crest may provide us with new avenues in the future, but only time and CCP will tell. One route I would be fine with, is a limited change ability via the web, Say 10 changes per year. Rather than the queue being extended.

More Queue Queue.

Comments on the More Queue Queue blog.

Now there was talk back then that one of the reasons for the queues introduction, was due to the removal of ghost training back in 2008. But I have my doubts, although do remember posts on that subject.

This is after all, CCPs game. They decided and with justification, that the queue was going to be 24 hours. Sure there may be pilots who find themselves unable to log in, to change a skill within that 24 hour time frame. But that's neither CCPs problem, or one that should be resolved through massive increases in the queue length.

Like I said, I'm all for a limited allowance through the crest or a web based system. But I'm against changes to the queue and any ideas for introducing skills to increase it's length.
