SpongeNub NoNob	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:10:00 - [1] Why dont ccp give you skills to fly/use everything? isnt it a "test" server anyway?
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:12:00 - [2] topic done to death in the past long story short : WHEN needed, people WILL get the proper skills (like, say, right now, everybody has the needed skills for T3 ships)... the rest of the time, you get what you have on TQ and that's it. TEST server, not "maxed-out-uber-rampage" server. _ Create a character \|\| Fit a ship \|\| Get some ISK

CCP Explorer	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:12:00 - [3] How would you then test skill training? Erlendur S. Thorsteinsson Software Director EVE Online, CCP Games

SpongeNub NoNob	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:15:00 - [4] the skill training is completely bugged on sisi, and its annoying waiting for the remirror so you get your skills up to date. wouldnt it be fun to fly capitals as a few week old character?
SpongeNub NoNob	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:15:00 - [5] also, for people who want to test fits with the existing skills, they could request to have the skills changed back by petition?

Creating even more work for GM's? I think the system is fine as it is.
TomParad0x Caldari Knights of Destiny Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2009.03.01 17:46:00 - [7] Originally by: CCP Explorer How would you then test skill training? Well, there could always be high attribute bonus implants seeded on the market so that skills train faster. Your still testing the act of training, but it goes faster. Just simply not have them seeded and removed from everyone when something such as when the skill queue came out, then it would be tested correctly. I fail to see how this would not get the skill training tested, plus it's optional due to you having to go buy and stick the implants in.

Well done, person. Honestly, it's been around for a while.. and I have never really heard a logical argument against it, the post always just gets closed. I would gladly use these implants on my main to get into stuff I cant quite use yet, and then train on my combat and industrial alt without the implants to test the actual times and stuff to make sure nothing is screwed up, and I am sure there would be plenty of other people who would test it without the implants as well.
Noix Arikani	Posted - 2009.03.01 18:13:00 - [10] I agree, some way to train skills you need in minimal time on the test server, so not everything MUST be level 5, only what you need for a certain fit

King Amarrian	Posted - 2009.03.01 18:17:00 - [11] Having +99999999 implants on test server to speed up training? Well, it could work. Logically, stuff like titans etc would require you to already have a titan skills so you can test one. Its perhaps the reason why a lot of high end content turns out bugged or useless. Take blackops for example.
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2009.03.01 18:22:00 - [12] I think the reason is not to try out skill training but to keep players from training everything up very fast on the test server. Because once they have, they have experienced what its like to have level 5 at everything and they lose a bit of the carrot to keep playing on the normal server. --- Originally by: Roguehalo Can you nano Titans?

Well, it could work. Logically, stuff like titans etc would require you to already have a titan skills so you can test one. So what happens is that if a bug or serious imbalance is found, the titan pilot is going to keep quiet about it since there wasent anyone able to test those things back then. Its perhaps the reason why a lot of high end content turns out bugged or useless. Take blackops for example. I think "+99999999" would be fairly excessive, that would probably make them instant (It should still take some time, just not nearly as long) For instance +500s or something like that (I dont think that would make it instant). Originally by: Jim McGregor I think the reason is not to try out skill training but to keep players from training everything up very fast on the test server. Because once they have, they have experienced what its like to have level 5 at everything and they lose a bit of the carrot to keep playing on the normal server. I doubt that. If anything that would make me want to get it more on retail. If people do come on to just play around (Which they do anyway), they will get bored and go back to retail. And even if they dont, thats a minority out of the 10s of thousands that play on retail. Alot of people probably wont even see a point in going on unless they want to test something, as then they don't make progress on the server that actually counts to your characters progress, and it would also empower people who actually want to test stuff that they cant use yet to be able to do so. I think, honestly, CCP should at least try something like this and see how it works out. If it causes too much of a problem with stuff like that then they could just remove it and go back to the old system, if it dosnt then it enables us to test stuff that we can't use yet due to lack of skills/lack of money to buy the skills on TQ or lack of time to train them on SiSi.
Akor Flandres	Posted - 2009.03.01 18:59:00 - [15] Its worked fine for five years without doing this. Its a test server, not a playground.
King Amarrian	Posted - 2009.03.01 19:11:00 - [16] Edited by: King Amarrian on 01/03/2009 19:12:51 Edited by: King Amarrian on 01/03/2009 19:12:09 Originally by: Akor Flandres Its worked fine for five years without doing this. Its a test server, not a playground. its not broke so dont fix it is the excuse of the uneducated. CCP should give skills for stuff that is being tested. E.G If CCp introduces a tier 2 titan, let them give people titan 5 so they can test it properly. They already do this sometimes but not always. Look at t3 testing, you had to train up each of the 6 skills needed to fly a t3 ship, and once you train the skills, bam - you are hit with a new mirror meaning you train em up again rather than test it properly. This is why a lot high end contest is not very useful.
Johli Caldari AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2009.03.01 19:39:00 - [17] tl;dr I demand all skills on sisi so I can just play instead of testing on the test server.
SpongeNub NoNob	Posted - 2009.03.01 20:07:00 - [18] I agree on the implant thing, have the bonus so you can instantly train the skills you want, and for the training test just remove the implants and your all set.
RedSplat Heretic Army	Posted - 2009.03.01 20:08:00 - [19] 'cause then people would realize that training and paying CCP for X number of years was a bum investment of their time and money? Showing people lots of shiny then telling them they cant have it until they have sub'd for 6 months or whatever is a good way to deter customers even as it may attract some long term subscribers. tl;dr i know people that sub the game only rarely, such that it seems to me they only do so such that what they have already invested in it isn't 'wasted'. tl;dr Subscription based games are a sucker bet. No you can have my stuff, i like being a sucker. [i] Ransom List Project: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=999677&page=1

You kind of made Explorer's point there. They give you all skills on sisi, the bugs you mention would not be found, they make it onto TQ and... Originally by: Another Liberthas Creating even more work for GM's? This happens.

SpongeNub NoNob	Posted - 2009.03.01 20:21:00 - [21] Wouldn't the bugs with emperean age have been found on singularity before it was released on TQ? Apparently not ( iPod touches fail so sorry for spelling )
Darius Shakor Minmatar Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2009.03.01 20:39:00 - [22] Sorry but thats kind of flawed reasoning there. I never said it would fully eliminate bugs. (That would be nice though) But removing the need to test something introduces them for sure. The fact that bugs do get through testing is no reason to compeltely bypass testing methods all together. And, yes, people could request to reset their skills to the last mirror and test if they wish to. But realistically we all know when large expansions are being tested like this no one will do that. Overall, it has been said over and over that sisi should replicate TQ entirely in function and not have systems that bypass normal TQ style play for testing integrity sake. Don't get me wrong, I see the point you make too and confess to proposing the same thing once upon a time as well.

As I stated, instantly training wouldnt be good IMO... I just think the implants (If introduced) should give enough of a bonus to stuff to make it train considerably faster.

Originally by: Another Liberthas Creating even more work for GM's? This happens. CCP Explorers point was that giving all of the skills to a player makes them not test skill training -At All-. If you introduce implants, you are still training (Provided its not *****ed and makes it all instant). I am not talking about this for people to fly capitals ships on a few week old character because it would be "Cool". Stop posting stuff like that, it dosnt help at all. (That wasnt @ you Darius Shakor, but the guy who said it would be cool). Yea, it would be cool, but not what is intended. Originally by:* Darius Shakor Sorry but thats kind of flawed reasoning there.

Don't get me wrong, I see the point you make too and confess to proposing the same thing once upon a time as well. It is only falwed reasoning if we are talking about giving all of the skills to some one. What I suggest still makes you train them, it just goes faster. And when a big expansions come out that do something that might effect skill training (Such as the skill queue), they could just NOT include the implants in the mirror (And lets face it, most of the time they mirror for large expansions, sometimes they even do it more than once). Originally by: Johli tl;dr I demand all skills on sisi so I can just play instead of testing on the test server. Perhapse you should get unlazy and actually read it then. There has been another suggestion that actually involves you to spend time training, just not as much. Originally by: Akor Flandres Its worked fine for five years without doing this. Its a test server, not a playground. Actually, you are wrong. It is a playground, and introducing the implant idea is NOT going to change it. You can tell its a playground by all the people randomly fighting and not doing a single damn thing in FD. Yes, some are, but alot arent. Heck, there is even a post in the game dev forum about a guy getting podded by a DD - the titan pilot HAD to DD because a bunch of people playing around were trying to kill him outside the station (1: Thats not testing, 2: Its not even following the rules). With stuff like that happening you cant tell me the testserver isnt being used to play around on already. With the implant idea, you could still test skill training, you could still test how stuff works at different levels, it would just be faster to get those levels.
An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.03.01 22:09:00 - [24] Originally by: TomParad0x Actually, you are wrong. It is a playground, and introducing the implant idea is NOT going to change it. You can tell its a playground by all the people randomly fighting and not doing a single thing in FD. See, while you can in fact do that, that doesn't mean that is what it is "for." The test server is for testing things, if you want to do other things on it, you do so within the constraints of the test server. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person

The test server is for testing things, if you want to do other things on it, you do so within the constraints of the test server. I am not quite sure what angle you are getting at here, but like I said, it's going to be there no matter what you do as far as introducing the implants goes. I don't think it would get worse, except maybe for a short period of time then people will get bored with doing that on the testserver, and just move back to TQ - and in the process you may just pick up more people who are willing to test things and submit bug reports now. No one will ever really know until a system like the implants is actually tested on SiSi, which is sadly something CCP dosnt seem to have any interest in doing.
Dantes Revenge Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.01 22:45:00 - [26] I wanted to test something new on Sisi and started training. Halfway through, the patch was released and the skills reset with a mirror. A wasted effort as far as I'm concerned that's why I don't bother testing new stuff any more, only what I can quickly train to. CCP want us to test stuff but won't give us the time or capability to do it. Except for test fits of ships I can already fly or those I only need one skill to train for, I can't be bothered with Sisi any more. If I'm a week or more from using the content, I don't even go there. -- Originally by: CCP Whisper No it is not an official statement. Not everything surrounded by blue bars is an official statement which can be quoted as fact until the end of time. Deal with it.
damgood85 Gallente Excelsior Solar Management	Posted - 2009.03.01 23:25:00 - [27] the test in test server means test game mechanics and functionality not your uber leet titan fit. Originally by: CCP Whisper Boo hoo. Cry some more.

[sarcasm]Obviously people arent going on to just test setups only on the testserver currently, and no one is playing around on the testserver...[/sarcasm]
