IMO, this is fine. New players need a boost to be competitive and enjoy the game.
This isn't microtransactions, SP for cash or the Plex for remap garbage. This is just helping new players out a bit once at the beginning.

Sell said plex for Isk, legal.
Buy higher SP char with aforementioned Isk, legal.
Hence, buying SP for RL money has always been possible.
Dont know what you see as "always" but before plex and char bazzar no it wasnt legal.Ive been around a bit longer.This is just a mission alt.
Why are you still here?
Oh.. just bluffing huh. "I'm going hold my breath til you do what I say! I mean it this time! I really do!!"
How old are you, if I may ask?
Cause there is this particular age group that reacts strangely when they gets all this free **** without having to pay a dime extra.. you know like, DL the game for free, free expansions, new ships, improved graphics, additional features, new skills.. but continue to ***** like they are entitled to more. Yet.. even tho they believe they deserve more than someone else.. they cry if someone gives more to get more. As if that is some how less fair than their original notion.
Your logic is.. I paid more money over time.. I deserve more reward than someone that just started.. how is that any different than microtransaction really? Give more money.. get more in return. Huh..
Cause god forbid the reward for having played longer is more Isk to do stuffs with like buy PLEX, or characters (SP), +5 implants + skills to equip them plants, and a much larger SP pool to again.. do stuff with like fly a much wider range of ships, or do science/indy with more slots for cheaper. OMG.. **** that reward! There should be more.. besides all that free **** I got in previous years of CCP expansions/patches.. that doesn't count!
Fight the illogical, hypocritcal fight man! Yay!! Play that 'I quit' card! WOOOOOOT You the man.. I'm sure others will show up and high five you for standing up to the man! That big ebil business CCP. They evil now cause they gotten bigger. Yeah.. I said it.. its so true. Alright everyone.. give the man a round of applauses.. he clearly needs.. I mean deserves it.
I'd say watch out and make sure the door doesn't hit your ass on the way out.. but CCP already sold the door to a 15 day old noob, tough **** man!
What exactly do you see free here?I pay monthly so I must be doing it wrong.And my subscription ends on the 24th..you wont hold your breath long lol.Feel free to hold me to it.

Quote: This latest boxed edition will include an exclusive in-game item, the Cerebral Accelerator, which is a military-grade implant that significantly increases a new pilotĘs skill development. While they are a very strong boost to nearly all abilities, these bonuses are temporary and are only effective for the first 30 days of a pilotĘs life as they get up to speed in the universe. The Commissioned Officer Edition also includes a CD key for starting a new account, 30 days paid game subscription time and an EVE poster with helpful hints and tips for getting started on the reverse side. This edition can be used to start a new account or to convert a free trial or buddy program trial account into a full account with the access and benefits afforded to all EVE subscribers. The Cerebral Accelerator will be delivered to the first character created on the account and cannot be acquired through any other source.
So it's just a 30 days faster learning for a new account.. nothing big tbh
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here. |

Edited by: TehFailGuy on 13/10/2010 01:43:20 I'm surprised so many people are concerned with the +3 implant part over the damage boost. If I referred someone to EVE to play alongside me, I'd just buy them a set of +3s anyhow as they aren't expensive once you aren't a total nub. The damage boost is pretty big, though. Remember, they may well be fighting other nubs out there who don't have the boost. Then, those who do have it will be in for a rude awakening on day 36, or if podded.

I believe I have corrected your spacing problem after punctuations. That'll be one fifth of a PLEX please.
Also, for your information, it has always been possible, since the beginning of the GTC and Character Bazaar (GTC, not PLEX) to buy SP. The GTC could always be sold for isk, and isk could always be used to purchase a Character with higher skill points. And no, I don't know when the GTC and Character Bazaar came out, I don't think it was the very beginning, but it wasn't too long afterwards.

What's the boxed set cost? $40 US? Something like that?
That's nearly three months at the regular subscription rate.....why shouldn't they get nearly three months of boosted skills as well?

What you describe is buying characters not buying SP. There has never been a way to buy SP, just a way to spend money to get a high SP character. Every single of those SPs has always been farmed using normal ingame mechanisms. You can buy SP the day you can spend monies to add SP directly to a character of your choice and bypass the normal mechanism of acquiring them. These two methods of aquiring high SP characters aren't similar from a mechanical standpoint or from the point of view of the person getting the high SP character and don't even produce the same end results, so I don't see how you can possibly mix them up.

You guys totally miss the point. I wouldn't care at all if this feature would be available for every new player. It's the fact that it's only available if you pay extra cash for it is what annoys me. And no i don't think you deserve to skill faster because you buyed a $40 or whatever boxed edition of eve. This boxed edition is no requirement to be able to play eve, it's rather a collector item.

Originally by: Akita T Notice how it's in BOOSTER slot 4, not in implant slot 4 ? It's not so much an implant as it is a drug with variable expiration date (35 days max or as soon as pilot age hits 35 days).
Also, considering just how much DPS a less than 35-day character can push out, the 20%-25%-ish DPS boost is not such a big deal. And giving them +3 to all attributes (considering most of them will probably stop at most at learning L4 during the first 35 days) equates to a barely a whooping absolute maximum possible 2*245k = 490k extra SP compared to other newbie pilots that DO NOT have this, if they use it from the split second they log in for the first time to the moment it expires... or the equivalent of less than a week of training at sped-up rate.
You might as well complain about people using the 21-day trials instead of the 14-day trials, it has pretty much the same end effect. No, wait, the 21-day trial users have MORE of an advantage than the ones using the box code.
*sigh*
Will you STOP making reasonable posts???

I don't mind. Let the new players pay a few bucks and get an early boost.
More new players to kill is a good thing.
I am sure it's only a 1-2mil skillpoints they get out of it...

At first I raged. Then I saw that it's just a set of special +3s for noobs.
That's fine, new players shouldn't be stuck to the same rules as established players anyway. Think of it as a "tutorial phase" that us old players never got.

Why are people upset over this? Seriously? It's a unique item for a special boxed edition. Something a lot of games do. It's not even all that useful!
All this rabble over an item that allows a new character to get like 500k SP extra. Calm down. - Paknac Queltel

I see your point, buying Skill Points and buying a high skill point character are indeed different things. In fact, should they ever say 10$ gets you a million skill points, I would probably be ****ed off enough to avoid playing the game in the future. That being said, this is a 35 day booster, that is essentially only slightly useful after the 1.6m skill point double speed boost (or did they get rid of that?) for a new player.
If they were to allow anyone with 5, 10, or even like 50 dollars to buy this implant and use it for thirty days, I would be fairly unhappy. But, its only available to one new player, on the first character activated using that account key. Therefore, I see it as very similar to say buying a PLEX for a new character, and using the iskies to buy a +3 set of implants and the skills required. Also, as new players, they can easily not put the implant to any sort of good use.

I'm not a new player, but I am in need of an alt. I will be buying this nice box.
And I imagine that's what a lot of people in this thread are afraid of.
I do so hope the box comes with a manual. ^_^ - Paknac Queltel

Being Noob was very fun game for me. There were no remaps no 100% faster training. The only thing they could fix is to remove learning skills.
Now we welcome our new instant gratification crowd overlords !!

Lol, I suppose that could be something. But that being said, a set of +3's isn't particularly useful. Sure, it might cut down on the amount of time required to make a long-term alt, but the total difference of adding this implant would add a bit more than 277k skill points to your character over 35 days.
So, assuming you include the learning skill difference and how it would reduce the amount of time required to train learning, it would probably add somewhere between 277 and 300k skill points. A lot for a new player, but barely anything for a character over a few months of age. I mean, seriously, thats what, one rank 5 skill to lvl 4 and some change? And its a one time boost, and to one new character only.

Well if it was a permanent implant... but "it will self-destruct in 30 days... good luck Jim"...
Personally i think its a good idea in order to increase EVE's player base... BUT only because it has a 30 days limit... otherwise i would be completely against it
Now i hope CCP won't have the temptation of starting to Plex this type of items... _________________________ CSM Candidate for 2011 (soon a pretty photoshop sig) Aelius 2011 Candidacy Guide Lines |
