EVE General Discussion

to clarify what i meant . any char that was training so if you had 1 2 or 3 training they should get sp refunded

On all accounts.

Dude, looks like you aren't happy about what happened!

It takes a while until evemon shows your actual skill queue because of the api key refresh delay.

I’m pointing that the server multithreading programing is very complicated and anything missed can turn into huge problems. It’s far away not like to client desktop or mobile apps, but nm.

The problem is most of those threads aren’t obviously predictable, based on some linear function, which you can apply additive to all data. It’s mostly random, which should take into consideration what everyone did the last 10 hours, including subscription gain/lost, plexes, skill injection, skill extraction, attribute changes. Maybe somebody get podded and was for 1 hour at station without any attribute implants active you know. It requires to analyze a lot of log records and recreate the story based on them.

I offered to grant to everyone a micro SkillInjector, as average SP for all accounts. Almost all will be happy and CCP will not waste time on this.

I'm not sure giving out Skill injectors is the way to go mainly because of the variance. Someone with less than 5mil SP gets alot more of a boost than someone with over 80mil SP. Plus then you are getting a free skill injector that you can sell on the market making a profit for, potentially, a lot more SP than you lost.

Well, this special micro Skill Injector must have the average amount of SP which can be trained during the 10 hours (8hours IDK).

The injector should have blocked trading attributes: unable to trade on market or through contracting and must be connected to account like that starting one. Like some active goods have.

The amount of gained SP must be static – independent from currently capsuleer SP amount.

I'm pointing that you obviously have no idea about multithreading programing. If you think it is very complicated you most likely have no experience in programming at all. I would even go as far as to say that all of the threads are predictable. The Reason it is that way, is "obviously", you code that Threads yourself. If you have to rely on other Threads you dont have written yourself you do not in any way expect those Threads to behave at all and work with them in a completely different way that has nothing to do with "multithreaded programing" in its basic meaning.

But to tackle the SP you might be surprise that "some linear function" is actually the way SP generation works. The only thing is it runs on Timers and will change its "linear" function between Timerticks. Obviously CCP allready did cover the Injecting/Extracting and unallocated SP Pool so it is highly unlikely it would need big changes except manipulating the timers.
And for changing the parameters of that "linear function" just try to think about what happens when you change your skillqeue manually or the learned skill switches during the time you are not logged in.

No matter if it would be possible to switch the system i dont like the way Skilling works in the first place with all the Implants.
I know its a you Risk something and get more Reward thing but the idea behind it is contrary to the EVE Gameplay in general.
How often did someone not go on a fleet because he had allready clonejumped and all. The Implants other thant the attribute ones themself would still be there but not tied to your skilling but rather the ship your using. And yes i know you can now hop into a empty Clone in a Citadel but it is a hazzle to do it.

So i propose getting rid of the Attributes in total, getting rid of the Attribute Implants and let us buy Skillaccelerators like CCP has allready introduced us to. And just let the SP go into the unallocated Pool.

How will accounts that had their SQ paused be identified? I saw this thread and went to check and had several SQs that have been paused, and partially trained skills removed, which accounts for a rather serious loss of SP.

Is there a forum / form that I need to file listing my SQs that were affected?

Please advise.

10 hours ago was 8 in the morning and CCP has offices and ISD/GMs all over the world.

Lose the attitude if you have no clue.

I, for one, thought I had gotten hacked or banned because all my accounts were not training anything and there was no information at all available on the issue except for a EN24 info with speculation about the reasons, which I only noticed by chance.

It's good that it gotten solved and the compensation for yet another mishap is appreciated, but Joan's points are very valid.
