Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Personally I liked the "Thrill of the Hunt" skills boost opportunity thing and I think it definitely incentivised me to log on more.

I also agree with other people here that it's a useful thing for new'ish players who are still building a foundation of skills to be able to access a bit of a boost (although I also found it a nice extra as I work on getting my security rating as high as I can...).

Simplified: I think it's a pity it's being pulled.

Didn't make a difference? I started logging on every day instead of every couple of days, must be something wrong with your metrics. This was a great way to catch up after being unsubscribed for a couple of years and it's gone after only a couple of weeks. You should have left it in guys, the puny rewards that you've replaced it with...I'm not interested in at all.

Or maybe it was beginning to impact their real world sales of skill injectors.... Just saying

Glad to see this cancer excised from the game.

I'm too much of a minmaxer to do anything else in game when the 10000SP was available.

So I'd log in and instead of doing something fun, I'd go kill a rat on each account. Then I'd be bored (because ratting sucks in EVE), and I'd log out.

Still think this would be an excellent idea if it were capped to 30 times ever per character, or available only to people with under 4.8m SP. Then it would be a catchup mechanism, not a 'do this boring crap or fall behind' mechanism like it was.

I forgot to use my [sarcasm] tag. My bad. The only people that would actually use such a feature would be old players and multiboxers. Newbros wouldn't stand a chance. If you told me the only way I could gain SP was by going out into nullsec and taking down a 5 year vet, I'd log out and delete the game. This game is confusing enough for new players. By far the steepest learning curve of any game I've ever seen.

I'm noticing that the ONLY people in this thread that actually disliked the daily reward, are people with over 1,000 likes received on their profile. Imagine that, old players don't like anything that helps new players...

Good to see this mechanic go, ty CCP.


You are overestimating vets too much. After around a month of training you can go toe to toe with a vet in the right circumstances.

That is something you only learn and understand after you've been playing for quite a while. It's easy to look back and say how easy it is, AFTER you've acquired the knowledge necessary to understand what skills and fits will work best, and what to do when faced with a superior fit.

For new players, it might as well be rocket science explained in Swahili.

You missed this thread then?

The response to the feature was overwhelmingly negative, and the feature didn't even increase log ins. The only positive result attributed to SP dailies was that it allowed noobs to catch up training with vets, but thats a myth anyways (it actually made vets train even faster than noobs).

Dailies are not completely gone, just this god awful version of it. CCP have taken on feedback and iterated it into the serpentis event.

okay-okay not funny

Greatly rewarded blah-blah for my assistance in the destruction of multiple info relay sites. So, now what? no link? no click nothing? just go out a look for them? I don't know how to play Scope network. supwitdat?

must just gotta do them each as they come along. I have 39 days to complete so all is good. Guilty of approaching in like a mission I am.

Yes, most new players, casual players, or returning players missed it because we don't read the forums daily. We don't scour them for things to complain about, but we do come to them when changes that we care about are linked in patch notes, hence the reason you see an 'overwhelmingly negative' response initially, and now an 'overwhelmingly negative' response to their removal.

Honestly, this is going to be the reason I quit and never come back. It's a little thing, but it's a thing that matters. It's a thing that's indicative of what CCP is doing. They've adopted a freemium model of upsells for 'big fish' by introducing skill injectors. The changes to the economy have made it very difficult to succeed in doing anything without buying and selling PLEX (I remember when getting to L3 missions meant you could actually afford the ship required to farm them).

If you're going to go after a freemium model for your income, make your game free to play.

If you're not, then don't penalize new players for not buying your freemium nonsense, and don't yank those few things that could help new players get an edge after only a few weeks.

Unless something amazing happens before the time I've already bought runs out, I probably won't even log again. There's just no reason to play as a newbro.

If your mindset is that you cannot kill players with more SP than you, you should probably uninstall EVE now, and play games where that is actually true.

I have mentored people into dealing billions of ISK damage before their first character was eight hours old.

SP and ISK fielded only decide close fights. There's plenty of ways to avoid close fights in EVE (low SP characters should avoid them unless they are happy to learn from a loss)

FWIW, I got within 90% of the maximum possible SP from this 'feature'. Most newbs would have fallen further behind me in the SP stakes during it.
