Look. Only old ladies in pink sweaters and adolescents fresh from Pandaland say "troll."

This is the EVE Online Forum. Please. Show some dignity and some sense.

Getting up at 5 for five days, then 9 for two days puts your body into a permanent state of jet lag. Its bad for you. Get up at the same time every day and you will feel better, irrelevant of Eve. (And then this issue goes away as well.)

Or maybe it show that the OP is a troll.

"goes against the idea of forcing me to log in daily"

To me that phrase is a big neon sign saying Attention troll Attention

Maybe. But I have also met players who actually think this way too.

There are actually going to be loads of people who think this way, and then when they find they are missing out they are going to get annoyed and lose interest in the game. This has been stated countless times in the feedback thread and so I am not at all surprised that this type of thread has already popped up. They should make it as easy as possible to claim the SP.

For myself I am not bothered as I haven't even logged in yet as I refuse to login when I otherwise wouldn't simply to shoot a rat. But I don't want to see players getting annoyed and quitting the game as that is bad for everyone, even when it is people who you claim to be 'idiots', they are still producing content and making for a richer game world.

People quitting for that will quit for countless other reasons: "i was ganked." "i have lost my bling ship to a mission." and so on.
The wouldn't stay long regardless.

I was ganked. I've lost my bling ship to a mission. And I'm not quiting over this. But it still is annoying.

No it's not. It's just something. And you let it annoy you.

You can continue to play the same way you've always played. Occasionally you'll accidentally get an SP bump. But otherwise it will not affect you whatsoever, if you don't let it.

If they introduced a mechanic that removed 10,000 SP each day that you didn't login...THAT would be annoying.

Not getting SP for not killing a rat is like not getting ore for not mining an asteroid.

I killed a rat the other day (rat attack on my miner) and the screen lit up informing me I'd just been granted a bunch of something called "Unallocated Skill Points", or something like that.
Cool, I have no idea what that other stuff is all about.

Thats a brilliant way to get people to start playing every day.

Make it so that you also lose isk and ships too. Randomly delete a ship from your hangar, and also minus a million isk every day you dont play. This will change the game forever.

Here's a quick example: let's say that you can play every 18 hours. You're playing at least once a day, so you should be getting 10k a day, right? Well, actually, you're going to only get 10k every other day. That sucks!

If CCP wants to further mechanics from downtime, and add more recurring opportunity in the future, why not be able to set a recurring opportunity reset time per account/character? You can set it for whatever hour you want, and you can change it only every 24 hours/week/whatever it takes to keep it from being exploited. Easy peasy.

The timer should renew with server reset at Down Time.

I also agree with this. Im not going to keep track of 22 hours since last time i got this. Im not for sure how this works across alts yet. but i want a specific alt to get the bonus. Id be upset if it was first come first serve and it rolled over right as i was doing an anom or something on my main(s) since i want lower skilled alts to get the sp.


If 22 hours is CCPs over complicated way of giving us a bonus for perfect logins every 12 days( Do this perfectly 12 times in a row and you can get 130k SP in 12 days), id rather it be at downtime, and we get a 10k bonus for logging in 14 days in a row and completing the task.

I recomend moving the downtime to the american primetime instead of the aussie one.
