Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Those 26 days are real, not only in my head. Those days justify fully my and other players "skillpoint obsession".

People are reading about capital rebalance and counting how many months or even years will take to have a good skills to fly dread or carrier... Being able to pilot it 26 days earlier is very tempting. Character progress in Eve is extremely slow comparing to other MMO games, power-leveling or even normal levelling by gaining exp is not available and buying injectors requires another (besides monthly payment) real money investment... New players are making skill-plans for months, years ahead and most hate to see their plan becoming longer... and longer



It's not only for me... i can win Eve anytime I choose. Learning implants are well known problem - read forums and You will see that many players agree those implants are "bad game design". I presented idea to solve problem, please discuss about it using real arguments.

So use +4s and make it 12 days then.


Trust me. By the time you're looking at optimal capital skills, 12 days, or 26, is absolutely nothing.

I'm training for T2 dread guns myself, on two characters. I'm long past the point of thinking 26 days out of an entire YEAR is actually relevant, at all, and worrying about 12 days is hilarious. (Hell, one of these characters has been rocking the same set of +4s for four or five years of null and lowsec life. Not losing your **** is not hard.)

It's seven whole percent slower if you use +3s! Or three and a bit if you can afford 40mil for two +4s. Hell, if you're a missionrunner, buy them with your own LP.



Can you please explain how 'the time difference is basically irrelevant, you literally save more time managing your remaps properly than using +5s over +3s or +4s' is not a real argument? Or how 'use cheaper implants and buy an injector with the isk you save' is not one either?

Except that you will never fly that Dread or Carrier anyway, because in Low or Nul you can lose your Implants, and A) you are scared shitless of losing them (losing ISK basically) and B) Non-pirate Implants are waaay cheaper than Caps (and you're scared of losing ISK).

I dislike the idea that your idea would throw out the window the value I myself invested in Implants.

I remember when learning skills were removed.
I hope to one day remember fondly when learning implants were removed.

I think this concept has SOME merit. OP talks about boosting attributes for active players...

We already know that a lot of people pay for accounts and put +5's in them, remap, load skills and log off.

What if SOMEHOW, I don't know in what capacity. Maybe a matrix that tracks if you activate X amount of equipment / kill so many NPC's or place however many market orders your account would be considered active... Then you would be given an extra +1 in each attribute up to a certain point.. maybe every two months if you've been deemed active you are given that attribute boost and if you haven't been active and just sat in station and did nothing then you wouldn't get the bonus.

That would be the only way I'd be okay with something like this.
Based off the Activity of the player and not in the method they pay.
CCP gave players the option to play by playing the game and earning ISK... Don't take that away from us.
