EVE Information Portal

Your the idiot do you really think people know me by my real name ...were working with entities . You buy an entity that is a huge difference between buying skills.

You buy a rap sheet and you have to live with the consequences...that's the eve i know ...

That sov worked out?
Many players stopped playing eve..
big blocks still exists.. It's now much more a pain for them in the a**
But well better f*** they people paying you to life and work CCP instead of doing something for them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume your motivation for playing Eve is to watch the SP number go up.

I'd recommend Cookie Clicker as a more satisfying number incrementing simulator, personally.

I was first very possitive about this , then read a bit of reddit and thought that maybe i was wrong and it was so nice after all .
Then i thought a bit more , in the end its not so "bad" or gamebreaking . But neither it is that good .

For example point 1 , new players .
New player has little SP no money and no friends , he also may soon realise he will need an alt its almost mandatoory . His choice is either accept harsh universe or put a hefty real money investment . Both i think bad , i like the idea of giving money as bonus , for skins clothes (i have a monocle and 2 bionic arms right now ) But older players those who are investing in EVE not new people it scares and alienates them , there is already to much talking about p2w .

Point 2 new players friends of veterans , probably aimed customer base , but i for example am introducing a new friend right now . I specced his attributes right and doing a super focused training , so he gets "viable" asap . Also we are considering getting a starter alt/main oof 15-30 sp to dual train or to be viable before main acc gets to this point . Money and ships arent a probllem i will provide this . So here yes i could inject him with 2 3 milions (btw he has already 5milions so diminushing returns kick in ) So already loosing , alsoo acelerator should be better used AFTER injecting a boost of 5 milion sp so you get full profit withoout diminuishing returns . Anyway usefullness is there i see it "here" .

Old characters : if someone has 1 trilion isk and 200kk sp i dont rlly care if he gets 20 more milions or not , doubt many do . If you are dirty rich for example Mittani and he has either 150kk sp or 300kk sp anyone cares ? Not rlly it doesnt give him that much of advantage . And they also reduce sp ingame which is good .

The problems :
I think would be bad skills , i think xxxxxx SP into mining and xxxxxx into space ship comand is a big difference .

Training with 2 attrributes maxxed and then just spread around those SP , or having full leadershiip social section done without never respecing into social is a bit to good .

Now if we for example have command ships we do not need to train prerequisites , what will happen in such situations ?

To be honest i think it puts a BIG barrier between REAL newbies , and current players base & co .

Even if i like the idea where how it started i dont rlly like the implementation , not cos of p2w and so on . But i think there should be other ways to make a "bought" character "yours" . I understand name wipe and corp history is out of question but i would rather look into that directiion .

I don't know, I personally really like making the ship spinner counter go up.

Hey...wait a minute.

Does this mean I'll be able to sell Mining 2, and all the other total carebear crap I was born with? Hmmm.

ITT: I can't even come up with any constructive arguments against this feature, because it is just this good. But please don't implement it because it's not how it was up until now, and also because I somehow have a gut feeling that this is bad!

How is that a huge difference? THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN THE BIRTHDATE OF THE CHARACTER. So you buy a character who was a previous corp thief, pirate, scammer or w/e... now what? your screwed with a character with a bad rep which you had nothing to do with.

There already is pay-to-skip-levelling-up, it's called the character bazaar, so that horse left the barn a long time ago.

However, moving SP from one toon to another seems a bad idea, I will say I don't know why because agreeing with Ripard Teg on anything is abhorrent to me.

I am ok with re-allocating SP within a toon, with the diminishing returns approach suggested by CCP. Its re-allocating, not buying.

I am even more ok with making the new player experience more compelling and less an utter ballache, by giving subbed toons 10m SP to allocate as they see fit on day one. This reduces the initial SP grind ballache while not breaking overall SP progression to high SP toons. i.e. Lets be honest, it still takes about 80-85m SP and upwards of 4 years to fly most of the subcap stuff you want to fly well.

Just curious, how do you want to pay for the Curses? I mean, you are going to lose the Curses a lot. Plex? Skins? Clothes? You want to add more money to that 20-30 in addition to the sub just to be able to fly your ship before you can earn the money to fly it? You certainly are the customer CCP needs. Just mindlessly throw money at something to make something "bad" go away.
