One of the recent updates enable for experience points accumulation via the destruction of NPC's .

My idea is somewhat more in the line of EVE standards

Instant of accumulating XP points , you increase Attribute levels for a short duration of time

Example when attacking NPC or PVP you get an increase to Perception and Willpower

Or when performing laboratory operation you get an increase to the Intelligence and Memory

When you performing actions in the market selling and buying you get increase to the Charisma and memory

And so on you get the idea.

To receive any relevant consideration, you might want to post your idea(s) in the Features and Ideas Discussion forum area.

Many players do multiple things on the one character.

What happens if the activity they do first affects skills that have no effect on the skill they are training?

By implementing this idea, the order in which players do activities when they first login will be dictated by the attributes related to the skill they are training. That seems worse than the previous system.

That is exactly the point you maximize learning with practice and study simultaneously

Someone already beat you to this idea.

The point I made in that thread still stands:
I wrote:
The moment you create significant and tangible rewards for doing something... especially something as all encompassing as skillpoints... it becomes less than optional.


The 10k skillpoints that people got from killing a single NPC showed a small glimmer of this. There were some people who wrung their hands over missing that bonus... or wanted it increased... or wanted the 22 hour timer reduced or removed.
They dedicated time (a small amount of time, but time nonetheless) out of what they normally do to destroy an NPC just to get that bonus.

Basically... your idea penalizes people for not doing certain things (that they may or may not want to do) in order to gain extra skillpoints.


This is why I don't play other MMOs. I utterly detest "grinding for power" and will honest to god leave a game over it.

How did you Veterans start?

Grinding for power is optional with this new event, like always. SP accelerators can be sold and bought if you like your own way of grind. I like what they have done.

You can stay in station and trade like always. You wil get your own reward, maybe not this one everyone else is after, even when its just a bunch of ship skins.

SP accelerators can be bought and sold so you can buy it from market now. Nothing like with dailies.

EVE is a game about freedom, and what used to set it apart from every other game is it didn't make you do [insert stupid repetitive task here] to level up. The less directed the gameplay is, the better. This game is all about plan-and-execute: you figure out what skills you want, then choose the map you need to get them fastest. Or you just throw in some +3 implants, not care about perfect efficiency, not remap, and go have fun with the game.

We had a threadnaught about the undock-to-kill-a-rat-for-XP. Daily "reward active players" type of features is for games so devoid of interesting things to do, they have to threaten you with an efficiency drop to get you to log in. Slightly less insidious is to not give you the latest pretty thing.

That's why they had riots over skill injectors the first time they were announced: they let you buy XP for credits.

Horribad.

(and yes, this is constructive criticism- I simply didn't want to repeat what everybody else above me said).
Needs more emphasis tho. Brain more pls.
