EVE Information Portal

What a brilliant idea!

Because of this feature I have been playing for a solid 8 hours (a rarity for me), been in three fights and made 400 mil from the cerebral enhancers.

I hope this is the shape of things to come... Imagain if CCP did this with PLEX. Players numbers would sky rocket and it would be a good way for CCP to regulate the price of PLEX... Well, one can dream

We were running a timing experiment on it in Live Events.
Training an 8* skill from 0 to 1.
Should have been done in 49 minutes according to our maths.
Actually taking 57 minutes. Which matches unboosted time.

So it's certainly not working for some people as intended.

I think the booster does nothing. I will now describe in detail why I have this belief. I have read the news post on the UI issue. I think this is beyond the UI issue in my understanding. Before going farther, the booster could be doing something if it is all purely being accounted for at the server side and the true accounting will somehow be granted when everything is ironed out.


The main point is that whenever the active or next-in-line-to-be-active skill is dragged around, the correct time is shown. When the skill queue is applied or unpaused, this correct time reverts to the timing it would have pre-booster.

I'm sure everyone is with me at this point.

The next step is the last step. This incorrect time is the time that actually proceeds. I've timed it twice now, once where the difference between the two times is a 50 minute window.

So, this is what happens. I think it does nothing unless it will be accounted for later, in which case I didn't find, "This is only a UI issue, and the skills themselves are training at the proper adjusted rate." to be sufficiently clear.

Great event theme!

Please add the Accelerators to the Market.

Less skins, more new ships and pve content please. Thank you

Seriously! That's the only reaction from CCP.... a wallpaper comment.

Guys I love you, but this look like major deny.

Come on! Gulp some Quafe Ultra and shake off your apathy.

Giggety Giggety!

It's not working, paused the skill updates to a shorter time but as soon as I un-pause sill training goes back to time as if there is no boost and counts down from that....

Thank you so much for this awesomeness CCP. I have been waiting since I started playing (09') for an event like this or even just more spot light on one of the most intriguing pirate factions in New Eden. To all those complaining about this or that I have faith CCP will get everything ironed out and polished so chill out and enjoy this. I know I will

Also can someone elaborate on the part where we can actually help the Blood Raiders? And is there anyway we can get more BR agents sprinkled in amarr low sec please. Actually all the pirate factions could use some agents in their respective part of low sec. Makes the game more dynamic over all, more chance for PvP and gives RP's and pve guys some cool options.

Thought exactly the same thing. I wish they would explain the effect in context with the ui in a better way. This.... "Don't worry, it's working" is only just a small step above of saying anything. I guess we'll see who was right, when the first boosters timer reach 0.
