They're gifts, yes. But look at it from the Marketing standpoint, they're product enhancements to encourage new subscriptions and maintain existing ones.

So it's common sense that they would be interested in knowing the most well received "gifts".

Well then we wouldnt have the current problem with the remap.

People who wanted it and picked it without knowing exactly how it worked. Pissed.

People who wanted it and waited to find out how it worked. Pissed.

People who wanted it but had some idea of how it worked so picked something else. Pissed.

Or maybe they are just gifts. You know. World is as difficult or as easy as you chose to perceive.

Gifts usually have a motive to them - even if it's a positive one. Human nature.

True, i try to dismiss that claim by not acknowledging its existence.

ok i choose boosters on alt and i am waiting news before i choose with my main.

my main could realy use a remap so that is what i want, if that option remaines closed i choose something else.

i think the ones that are complaining about a free gift should be ashamed of themselves, we got 2 nice implants absoluutly for free and now we get another gift with choice amongst diffrent things.

I burned a remap last week. I picked it, I'm not really pissed.

Hmm, that's good news... Unfortunately I seem to be getting a little confused with all of that. So it basically counts "like an extra remap"? So I have 1 remap and plan to remap early next year some time for a few months. This "bonus remap" could then remap say mid next year? Just like another remap?

Sorry Ugh

the code now includes 2 types of remaps. the normal type with a 365 day cool-down timer - when u use it it will be 365 days to the next normal remap. and then the bonus remap, which u can use whenever u want without affecting the normal remap cool-down timer.

So, if you have a normal remap comming up in january and select a bonus remap as your christmas gift which i get on december 22, u can use that remap on dec 23 and still get your normal remap available in january.

What does this mean for you when you use a Bonus Remap after this change?

You can be two weeks from your next remap or six months past it and still use your Bonus Remap to best suit your skill training plan without affecting your remap timer. Basically it gives you the flexibility of choice and planning that you would rightfully expect from owning an extra Bonus remap.


Just wondering... if it took only 24h to fix the problem this time, why wasn't it fixed last year when they handed them out, rolled back and handed them out again over the space of a week?

Still the best gift, Thanks! Big smile

So...

I have a remap available now that I want to use asap since there's a bonus one available.

If I use the remap now, and get the bonus remap on the 22nd I can hold off on using it for a while?

How is the bonus remap given, does it just activate straight away and you have to remap then, or does it just add to your available remaps so I can use it six months down the track.
