I was going try to get a few real life buddies to start playing Eve again after the March 10th patch, but after crunching the numbers you are way better off Cost/Time/SP wise with making a character now and training it.
Having speed training for 1.2mil skill points is nothing, my learning skills have 1.47 mil SP in only 3 of them are V. Just playing around with this in EveMon unsure what our 50k is going be, (I assume navagation and frigates). We'll pretty much have to pay a extra month before we can even play Eve.
Don't you want new people to be able to jump in the game and get their feet wet? Make some stupid NPC fleet fight they can join in, and watch big ships blast eachother to hell. Don't cripple them by making us say, "Stay in the station and just queue up these skills. Then log off, you can come out in two weeks."
Don't you guys like have a record of all your annouchments?
Don't you remeber when you guys allow new characters have 800k, you did this to help new players.
Now you're saying let's change it to 50k with fast training for 1.2mil SP(6? I don't care I use 2mil with Evemon), to help the new players?
I'll mail you guys a white board, you can write up all the basic skills on the board and how long to train them to V. Realize how stupid it is to train some of the basic to V. Just give new characters MORE SP. Make them better rounded, or let them have like 30 levels they can pump into skills in whatever fashion they want.
There so many different ways to address this problem.
You could go thru the basic skills and explain what they do and give them like a two week period where they can adjust their skills up and down to see the difference in performance.
You guys tell us this isn't a MMO, it's a premium product just like starbucks coffee but every now and then you do horrible stuff and you just keep rolling with it since that's how you done it in the past. Learning skills were a mistake, 24 hour timer on jump clones were a mistake, Titans was a huge mistake(Remote DD, Wow, seriously?), Nerfing Carriers(Maybe a mistake, arugable), ect.
Anyways, I know this post is horrible. Sorry to all those who read it. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm horrible wrong to tell my buddies they have to start before this patch or if someone can confirm my data on EveMon that a 800k SP character with out 2x training speed is better then a 2x training speed character with 50sp to hit 2mil SP. I'm not sure if missed up. I'm not that great with EveMon.
Sorry CCP, you guys drop the ball on this but the other things look nice and should of been done 4 years ago. Maybe next patch you'll get this right too.
