During the past six weeks I have started three characters and have done the first neural re-map on each of them. The first two now show one bonus re-map is available before the normal annual one, but the third shows two bonus re-maps available.

How so?

New characters start with 2 remaps available.

Did you choose it as your "christmas present" option?

Which third, you never mention any account having 3 remaps, only the usual 2 which are normal for toons created after X-mas (they did a remap overhaul around X-mas, should have read the patch-notes / news bulletins)

If I've done the first re-map and still have two left, there must be three in total - unless something is seriously wrong with my understanding of mathematics.

The account concerned was created on 15 December 2011.

To clarify, two of the accounts only have one bonus re-map left, the other has two. I really don't see how I could have said that any better.

THE RIGHT ANSWER:

Remap code has been changed recently so that all new characters effectively have 1 remap more than before.

Earlier when you made first remap, you used 1 of 2 remaps available. Now when you make first remap you only use yearly remap which starts 1-year countdown, and leaves 2 bonus remaps untouched.

My earlier thread about this: New characters now have 3 remaps by default ?

ps. this has nothing to do with christmas gift remap. New character which chose that would effectively have 4 remaps available at the beginning (yearly remap + 3 bonus remaps).

* There was a change to remaps: bonus remaps are now on a separate timer from annual remaps.

* You start with 2 bonus remaps. They are only used if you don't have an annual remap available.

1 annual + 2 bonus = 3 remaps

The patch was server-side on Dec14th (date mentioned in blog).

EDIT: I need to type faster. Roll

Thanks Malaire and Tau - at least I now understand what's happened.

Doesn't seem very fair on existing accounts though. Having bonus remaps separate from the normal ones is a very sensible move, but to make a fair outcome in respect of existing accounts the first normal remap should have been timed at one year from account start time rather than being immediately available.

As it is, the account I started on 15 Dec has two remaps still available whereas the one I started only three days previously has only one. Great - not.

I've started the characters on completely different skill training paths and it's the earlier one which would have most benefited from an extra remap. Sod's Law, I guess. Evil
