If this option does not make it in time, i likely won't bother with the free gift.

My next remap is due in march, a remap now without resetting the timer and losing the next 1 in march would be worth more to me than all the other options put togetherCool

I think this is exactly the problem.

If you can use the remap, then it outweighs the value of the other gift offers by a significant margin.

If you cannot fully benefit from the remap (because your next remap is scheduled within the next month or so), then you are getting badly short-changed.

Remember that there have been past discussions about PLEX for remaps, in which many players considered that a PLEX per remap would be a very fair price (currently approx. 400M-450M ISK). Per Jester's website, the value of the other gifts ranges between 3M-60M ISK.

I don't think that CCP's intent is to provide a gift which greatly benefits some players more than others.


Another reason why a flat SP amount would be a better idea. Benefits everyone the same (actually 500k would be a huge bump for new players) and it instantly does what a remap does over a year.

Yeah, I suggested this, too, a few pages back.

Nice recode, CCP.

Thank you. :)

I presume they will now list as two options on the attributes screen?

I hope you will release the options all players already choose, cause i dont know if i might choose that remap when you add that option again!

So just to be certain, if one does not use this bonus remap, your next timed remap will stack and you'll have 2 remaps?
and the bonus remap will stack on any unused remaps you already have availlable?

Also is the gift per account or per character? if per account, which character gets the remap? (on accounts with more than 1 char)

Otherwise exellent news.

ThanksBig smile

CCP continues to show commitment to player satisfaction while maintaining balance. Here are the details regarding the changes they made to the Bonus Neural Remap, if anyone is interested.
Thanks CCP!

This is EXACTLY right.

Except these kids actually DID recieve a bad gift.

Our option of 23 different gifts can each be sold for cold-hard cash (somewhere in the range of 30-60+mil) and some-people STILL cried that they weren't good enough.

Oh, and all this AFTER CCP already gave us 2 free unique implants!?

I thought that WAS our gift until I recently discovered the option to choose even more!

Seriously people? Seriously? I'm so proud of the human race....

When you have game mechanics that aggressively weed the friendlier & more passive players out of the game, this is just the sort of people you are left with :P

So, if i'm reading this correctly, what good does it do to 'store up' the regular remaps? (as somewhere in this thread, or the other one, ppl were saying things about having 4 remaps 'stored') If there is a cool down timer of 365 days before you can use another remap, what good does it do to have more than one, b/c you get one every year, but can only use one every year...from how i understand the system.

Please help clear my confusion...

BTW, i like the way yall are doing the "gift" ones, it just makes sense.
