Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I agree with this - you should be able to reallocate a fixed number of skill point s each year.

I trained RE 5 a long time ago when 100% refine was standard. Now its a lot less useful. It would be nice to retrain to something that is. Limited skill remapping would still make career path an important choice, but provide some measure of forgiveness for errors or CCP changing the rules.

I'd say it's 50:50 that EvE ships run on some quantum bit version of UNIX

Let me ensure you that SP remap won't make you a different from whom you are. And noone is saying you could simply wipe all skill points to zero and then spread them as you like which brings you into a brand new role or specialization. It's about how in a gentle manner you could correct some of your steps consider them as mistakenly made or whatever. So once a year you have limited number of SP which you could if you want move from one area to another. And this feature costs something like plex aurum or isk. Like they did with body modification.

Except it will.
Except they are. That's exactly what many want.
Which so far, no one has given a good reason for.

I'd agree to that, but I doubt it will happen.

Still waiting for a reason for this change.

How about simply not having remaps.

This eliminates the need for a major revamp of a system which is reasonably fair (depending on how you feel about learning implants), cannot be gamed and has worked perfectly well since the removal of ghost training some years ago.

True you can't buy your way into everything you want instantly but then I don't see delayed gratification as a bad thing for this game.

Defently nope!

This would be contar to the time base skill system.

As usual Iroquoiss your comments are relevant and thorough. The remapping has to be on a skill trained within the same year you wish to allocate elsewhere. As for limit, I say a remap of 4 mill SP per year for the cost of 2 plexes.

Peoples do complain against remapping as it some sort of disease which make them sick if it's ever happens.

What's wrong with it? Do i miss something ?

Like many others I don't like this idea. It makes no logical sense, or have you e.g. been able in school to forget anything what you have learned about a foreign language and instantly got access to knowledge in maths in exchange?

I doubt you have because it would have made school much easier. Just spend enough time learning "something" to gather a pool of skill points and switch your knowledge from one area to another in case it's required for a test. At least my parents told me: you never know why you have learned something until you need it, and while the others are able to take away all your goods knowledge is something they can't take away.

This situation applies to EVE. Whatever you have learned is learned and can't and shouldn't be forgotten. If you enable a system where you can move around skill points from one area to another you render learning useless. All you need to enable your "godmode" is a pool of skill points which can be reassigned whenever you want. After that point learning would become useless.

There is a game out there were you can do this. A system was created where you could switch your knowledge and even keep 2 different types of skill selection in mind - and switch between them. It's WOW. This plus all the changes which wiped out the special characterization details made this game more user of child friendly but in the end there was no real role play left. Tanks suddenly were able to act as damage dealers and even in the role of the tank they were able to make damage. Why? Because people didn't like specialization. They wanted a god mode where everyone would be perfect in every role.

Don't do this to EVE. Whatever you do, it must have consequences - and choosing what you learn next also falls into this category. This is a game for the grown ups and not the children who want to play without thinking about tomorrow.
