I think this is beyond the UI issue in my understanding. Before going farther, the booster could be doing something if it is all purely being accounted for at the server side and the true accounting will somehow be granted when everything is ironed out.
The main point is that whenever the active or next-in-line-to-be-active skill is dragged around, the correct time is shown. When the skill queue is applied or unpaused, this correct time reverts to the timing it would have pre-booster.
I'm sure everyone is with me at this point.
The next step is the last step. This incorrect time is the time that actually proceeds. I've timed it twice now, once where the difference between the two times is a 50 minute window.
So, this is what happens. I think it does nothing unless it will be accounted for later, in which case I didn't find, "This is only a UI issue, and the skills themselves are training at the proper adjusted rate." to be sufficiently clear.
Thought exactly the same thing. I wish they would explain the effect in context with the ui in a better way. This.... "Don't worry, it's working" is only just a small step above of saying anything. I guess we'll see who was right, when the first boosters timer reach 0. |

What the bloody hell did i do to get singled out for this griefing by NPCs ? I love this game and have played it for just under 10 years, but if CCP insist on picking on me out of the thousands of other people that play this game then i guess it's time to cancel sub.
Guess i could petition CCP for bullying.............. You realize literally everyone with an eve subscription got that email right?
Thank goodness you were here to divulge that important information. I literally thought that I was being randomly singled out for a special event in an MMORPG played by thousands...................
Is this your first time on the EvE forums or something?

And with him comes the Crimson Harvest. The leader of the Sani Sabik extremist cult has taken the initiative after the death of Empress Jamyl I and the attacks of Drifters on the Amarr Empire. He is on the roll with small, swift attacks all over the universe. Victims will be merciless drained of all their blood for reasons beyond the sane mind. Between October 20 and November 2 you can fight those scary Blood Raiders in Blood Raider Gauntlets. If you are successful you will get SKINs and a chance for a 24 hour limited attribute enhancer (+10 or +12 attribute points for 24 hours). Those attribute enchancers will become defunct after November 2. Check out all the info and perks coming with the Crimson Harvest!
Thanks for the event!
One question I have: if I purchase the 100Gé¼ package (from here: https://secure.eveonline.com/AurStore/?_ga=1.80864279.1027521904.1412013501 ), do I get the Executioner and the Omen skin too or just the Harbinger? (would be a bummer really, to have to fork out 170Gé¼ for plain mirrored skins like these)

I've never believed in it in my previous lives either...

Loved the event, its fun to run the sites and it creates content around... I hope more PvE content is created in the future like this.
But, site spawn rate should be toned a little bit down (this things are everywere), and site should be a little bit harder to run (running them in like 3-5 mins for a up to 400m payout is op), maybe add a chance for a BR leader on a bs to drop on you and point you... maybe the frigs should point too.

Would like to know. I was thinking of buying two bundles but if I am only going to receive a Harbinger then maybe not. Seems like it should have each ship from the previous bundle. (Omen having Executioner) (Harbinger + Omen + Executioner) |

I'm both surprised and grateful that the 'baddon SKIN drop was made Permanent. I assumed all in-game pirate drops would be 30 day including limited availability. Whomever flipped that coin is a pureblood Amarr, patron of armour tanking, and buzzkill of market speculators. They'll win in the end of course, but not from me. Very pretty spatter.
Do not actively tank my patience.

Had the chance to plug one of these in. It isn't giving my character the desired affect. Training time didn't change at all. =( Fantastic idea, hopefully the bugs get sorted soon.

I injected the standard booster last night, which reduced my training time by for days but when I logged on this morning, it's had shot back up again.
CCP, I the booster is found to be not working properly, will those of us that injected the booster be given free sp?
Dear eve players, please try and use the word "content" less and instead, be specific. Thanks

I'm not actually complaining, but the spawn rate for these sites seems a bit high in some systems... maybe a bug?
I did maybe 3 of the sites in a system, and another one spawned 10 minutes later. So farmable... May want to double check the spawn rates for the sites in Nullsec and W-Space. Typically I found one or two of these sites in Lowsec, but I was puddle jumping into wormholes and finding this fairly frequently.
Not that it wasn't good content. Had a Flycatcher and Slepnir fleet try to gank me, but I saw them on scan before they landed. Also had a few sites contested in Lowsec. |

It seems that respawn rate isn't equal in systems. Yesterday i spend 3 hours to wander around and found only two sites, one occupied by my alliance mate so no fighting. |

Can anyone confirm or deny with 100% certainty of the accelerator is in fact working as intended? We were running a timing experiment on it in Live Events. Training an 8* skill from 0 to 1. Should have been done in 49 minutes according to our maths. Actually taking 57 minutes. Which matches unboosted time. So it's certainly not working for some people as intended.
Guys, guys... it's a Blood Raider device! You must sprinkle it with blood for it to work!

Looking at the "quality" of 3D models used in this video, we should be happy that CCP cancelled working on WiS. Nowdays character animation standards are much higher than this. Sorry guys, i love overall look of EveOnline but this vid is straight terrible.

This for a short time gave me the eve I miss back, partly. People contest, kill, steal and swear over the drops, some whine about not finding any or being outrun, etc... I love it. Whoever had this idea, thank you.
This is eve as it should have always been. Hope to see it this way more often, even if you need a gold rush for that. |

Not noticing any boost from the accelerators either. I'm beginning to suspect it might be more than a UI bug, but I could be wrong.

Today's patch notes (Oct 21 at the bottom) say an issue has been fixed. This is true. I have no issue any more, but if you have one currently active -- and I assume for all going forward -- you must pause and unpause the skill queue to have the booster functionally applied. |

:golfclap: Congratulations CCP on making a great point ( whether intentional or not ). All those people deadset about how buying SP is going to kill EVE and you simply put out an accelerator that offers 900 and 1080 SP/hour bonus for 24 hours ( 21.6k and 25.9k SP respectively) and people buy them off contract, hunt for them everywhere and cheer it on all the way never once thinking of the hypocrisy that while they are against being able to inject SP, this is exactly what these are, just on a slow drip. Perhaps this also provides a solution to the fears of pay to win.
The proposed "skill packet" for lets say 256k SP when extracted would result in a booster such as these, offering lets throw out there +20 ( +1800SP / hr ) for ~ 6 days ( and time or attribute bonus can be scaled for diminishing returns based on current SP of the character being injected ). So you can buy all you want, but you can only get the SP allocation over time ( and can't sit there injecting your way up to 10m SP on a character that is 3 hours old )
Again, very elegant point as long as these are truly working as intended ( which I'm not so sure of prior to downtime ) . Perhaps putting current SP/Hour on the Character sheet would be helpful ( or even in the properties for the skills ) |

FEEDBACK ON GAUNTLET SITES:
This may be a bit premature, but I think the new blood raider gauntlet sites will be very successful. Specifically in lowsec.
As they are, its a pve site that can be done with pvp fits no problem. This encourages roaming gangs to stop for a few minutes to finish one. On top of that, the rewards (the attribute boosters) seem to actually be useful.
But in my mind, the value of these sites is that they are a nice conflict driver, but only if multiple groups are living in the same space. In blue donut sov-null they arent so different from an anom, except far easier.
_________________________________________________________________
How about an anecdote:
I came into my home lowsec system and saw a gauntlet site on my overview. Upon dscaning it, I saw a caracal inside. Local intel leads me to believe it is a relatively new Brave Newbies character. So I reship into a slicer expecting him to have HML or HAMs or something. When I find that he infact has RLML, theres very little I can do to him. By the time I get back to station to reship again, theres another caracal in the site. I escalate with a navy stabber.
The two brave pilots, while in passable pvp fits (maybe not for small gang, but its not as if they were specific pirate resist tanked with shield boosters) I got'em.
But whats this? I see a vagabond on scan. I wait for it to land so I can see who it is/weapon type etc. Its an arty vaga. So I go back in after repping at station. That was a bad choice. I can't do much to his tank.
Luckily for me, the local galmil Spaceship-Bebop gang has spotted whats going on, they have also been grouping up to run these sites all day. They come in and begin attacking me and the vagabond. Again..... luckily for me...... in their eagerness to kill the vaga, they neglect to spread points on me so I manage to escape.
_________________________________________________________________
I don't know of any other pve sites that can lead to situations like this as well as these gauntlets.
The reasons I would credit for this?: 1. They can be ran in PVP fits 2. They dont take that long to finish 3. They seem to spawn reasonably regularly (my experience in lowsec, I have heard they are very hotly contested in high) 4. The rewards are valuable and sought after (the booster, but the skins are cool too) 5. Everyone can easily find them by checking the overview, and see whats inside with dscan
The mordus legion sites are similar, but due to the difficulty of those rats, a standard roaming pvp gang (without logi) will take losses doing them, so they dont.
TL;DR: good job CCP! These things are awsome! It would be more awsome if sites like this were a permanent fixture of eve, with special flavour versyions for events like the crimson harvest |

Perhaps this also provides a solution to the fears of pay to win. We already had cerebral enhancers in the game before these gauntlet sites. Personally I'm not keen on grinding to gain SP, but I've got nothing against these cerebral enhancers as they don't circumvent the skill system, only speed things up. Completely different to being able to liquidate your characters SP and trade it.
