Eh, I only had a skill that was slightly longer than 24 hours when the DT started. It finished at 09:40 a.m. UTC. Slept less than 3 hours this night hoping to catch the moment to update the queue. I know, I am completely crazy about training skills. So far I have been unable to forgive myself missing about 20 minutes once when I was a new player (there was no skill queue by then).

AS i could read in the dev post, about they were going to do, believe me it would NEVER EVER EVER take only 6 hours.

That was a job that would take at least 4 days. Fail CCP of not telling so to the customers.

All they had to do was: "Hey we are going to get better servers! It will take 5 days."

Some ppl would complain but at least they wouldnt have 300.000 ppl rage-posting on their forums.

In gratitude for your patience, we will give an extra pool of skillpoints to all accounts (paying and trial) that were active at the beginning of this downtime, on one character per account. This skillpoint pool will be appropriately sized for the downtime time frame, universal across all accounts regardless of character attributes/implants and may be applied as each player wants.

This will be done through a new system in the development pipeline, currently scheduled for deployment next TuesdayÆs patching opportunity* during regularly scheduled downtime. Since it has been ôhot droppedö into the development plans, we will be providing step-by-step instructions for how to use it as soon as possible.

The guy in that thread got it a little wrong, I hope it is a straight bump of 12 points per attribute as it will be a lot more clear for everyone instead of having 20.9 rounded down to 20 in the skill sheet and similar.

that percentage rounds down in the skill sheet in game. but if you look at it using the formulas that have been found to be right that 20.9 is 20.9, not just 20. you want to keep the 10 percent as that gives you a buff remapping.

that and straight points would be 11(=10 + [10*10%])

the link to the thread that i had linked a bit ago talks about the getting rid of learning skills, somewhere in there it has a link to the video of CCP saying learning skills are going to die. Thats where they are prolly getting the redistributable points from. Hopefully ccp is not going to let you redistribute points trained around like you can attributes.

and as to the whole keep the 10% thing. you need that because of remaps. if you remap that much extra 11 points its not actually worth as much as a 10 percent boost on taking all your skills and throwing them into perception or something.

Originally by: Mylena Gnarn

Here's a kicker regarding that skill pool that CCP is supposedly going to give us... Because of it, GM's are not willing to cover lost time due to not being able to log in to add to training queues as they have in the past. Since the pool will be "universal across all accounts" this means that if you had a skill that finished during the 24+ hrs of downtime, you will not gain as many total skill points as those characters who were unaffected by the downtime.

Hell I'll complain. I'm sick of you idiots quoting the EULA, have YOU actually read it? Someone posted part of it that explains the service may go down during use and they are not liable for that. And sure, I don't blame them any time the server needs a reboot. But NO WHERE in the EULA does it say to load a 23 days skill cuz they may **** up and be down for 2 days straight.

Also, who cares if a server move *should* take 5 days? Any idiot with common sense knows to keep his old computer until after he's finished building and loading the software onto his new one.
I mean, which of you are stupid enough to sell you house or car before going out to buy a new one?

And that's why CCP said originally what, 12 hours for the move? They weren't doing this on a whim, they did have a plan, and yes something went horribly wrong and YES as a business it is bad customer service to promise something and not deliver. And an equal SP bonus to everyone does not fix the ****up of no one could update thier queues.

So anyone who had a 25hour skill queue setup for a 12hr downtime and who has been Fracked over by the server being out for 31hours + whatever time it takes for the to get to log in after dealing with RL has the Fracking right to ***** to CCP.

Nonsense. Training the Learning Skills is an investment that pays off down the road. I trained them early on (for several months on and off), knowing that I was passing up on more useful skills at the time, in order to reap the dividend of reduced training time later on. I am seeing that dividend pay off in spades now.

Some people apparently feel entitled to the same SP per hour as those with good Learning Skills, despite never having put forth the effor to earn it.

Stop whining about the Learning Skills or train them yourselves, you lazy fracks.

hahahahah you are dumb and deserved to lose the SP. This isn't a slight against CCP. Unexpected things happen when they update or patch, it's just how things go. Covering yourself for a few hours doesn't cut it.

My characters were training 14+ day skills, cause I'm smart... and you're dumb. EvE has never rewarded stupidity so I don't see why they should start now.

All of you people who weren't training long skills basically jumped through a gate without a scout and were surprised when you got blown to hell.

And to the "LOL you should have put a 25day skill in cause CCP is teh dumb!" crowd: Of course I had a skillplan that was way longer than the originally given downtime, by several hours even.

You should always set a long skill. CCP doesn't have to give people that lost training time anything, but yet they do. CCP is amazing and very customer friendly. Thank you for your had work and I am looking forward to seeing what that special gift is next week!

Estimated Downtime: 6 Hours
Actual Downtime 31+ Hours

CCP learn to allow appropriate time for when things go wrong! If you announce a 12-24 hour downtime, and it takes 31 hours, we wouldn't be as annoyed as we can plan to do something else for that day. If you announce a long downtime and can bring it up early, all the better.

STOP ESTIMATING THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM ONLY TIME NEEDED TO GET STUFF DONE THOUGH, IT MAKES YOU ALL LOOK VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! What ever happened to allowing time for when things go wrong, as they ALWAYS do!

Honestly not really much I can say that hasn't already been said, but this was a JOKE of a hardware deployment CCP. Tell me how much compensation would you be claiming from your service providers if as a result of their stuff up it resulted in this long a downtime, you would be claiming financial compensation right?!

Screw the extra skillpoints, I want game time added to my account for the game time lost. Not happy CCP!

Not sure how people are getting 31+ hours of lost access.

[Wednesday]
11:00 - 12:00 - Doesn't count since it's normal downtime.
12:00 - 23:59 - Our first 12 hours without eve. Subtle hand tremors should set in after the first 6-8 hours.
[Thursday]
00:00 - 11:00 - Another 11 hours. Up to 23 hours now. Insomnia is a normal reaction at this point. God help you if your queue was < 24 hours.
11:00 - 12:00 - Another downtime cycle.
12:00 - 16:00 - Four more hours of pain. This must be what it feels like when a drug addict runs out.
16:00 - Servers are back up. Only took 27 hours.

Unless I did something wrong it's only 27 hours of downtime, though math can be hard sometimes...

I sincerely hope that this skillpoint gift isn't a precursor to some kind of cash shop where you can buy skillpoints for $. Or even ingame isk.
