Free attribute remap with Kronos?

So industrialists will need to train up a load of resource processing skills in order to stay competitive after Kronos and those not currently in a IM or MI remap will be in a tough spot. It would make sense (and possibly ease some of the butt-hurt) if they gave out a free attribute remap with Kronos.

This seems to fit with the leaked discussion from CSM last week.

Friday, we were made aware of something that is being considered for Kronos. This was the cause for some genuine debate and discourse for the first time in our tenure, both with CCP and in-between ourselves. I’m very interested to seeing the player base response to this given that a) I personally consider it a very wise decision and b) it’s something CCP may need to do again in the coming year. I’m pleased CCP are looking at this path via consultation with ourselves. I hope the player base understands and agrees… I have faith in you guys!


There was speculation that it was talk of introducing a paid remap, but that does not fit with doing it "again" part.

Nevermind, it was probably just a discussion of delaying the industry changes until the next patch. A free attribute map would still be a good idea though at that point.

They've given away remaps as christmas presents. Why not?

Of course they didn't give me a remap when they changed the mauraders, and I had to train a BS skill mapped the wrong way. I make my money flying ships, you make yours refining. I'm not sure that a remap is any more justified for this patch than for any previous.

Remapped my alt to MEM>INT a few days ago. It was painful, as I of course had other plans.

Veldspar 5 trained so far *sigh*

I plan to do drones after, and a few INT>MEM skills to fill-out the year.

For awhile there, I was stacking up the bonus remaps. I think it's been over a year since they gave one out.

Mynnna has weighed in on the "thing" talked about last Friday:

Finally, another “thing” for the upcoming release, which definitely sparked a lively debate amongst both ourselves and between us and CCP. It’ll be interesting to see how it’s received by the players at large, although like Xander I think it’s a positive.

Doesn't sound like they were talking about delaying the industrial changes but also doesn't sound like a remap either. I'm assuming no one would complain about a remap that they could keep and use at any time.

CCP already announced at fanfest they'll be giving all players 3 million in unallocated SP so they can train inject all the refining skills right away if they want to to compensate for the extra training time this would add.

Source? I would really like to see the video where this is announced and/or confirmed.

It was covered at the industry round table, i'm not sure if all of those were recorded. Ill take a peek at CCP's youtube page to see if i can find it.

Seems very unlikely, given that part of the justification for this change was to give people who take the time to train the skills up an edge. My guess is someone at the roundtable asked about free skillpoints, and people on the internet took that and ran with it.

That would be nice but I'll believe it when I see it
