Dear Capsuleers, As you might have heard recently, we announced the removal of learning skills. This is a massive engineering challenge, much like the ongoing work we test through mass tests. To ensure a smooth rollout, we at CCP do what are called ôUpgrade Testsö. These are full upgrades of a copy of TQ, just like how Singularity always runs a so called ôMirrorö of TQ. For our final upgrade test, we need your help! The why As mentioned above, this is a giant task. We need as close to realistic test-data as possible to ensure that everything will happen smoothly when this goes to Tranquility. And thatÆs why we need you lovely people! The how Very simple.
- Log into Singularity between now and Friday morning, 01:00 UTC. You can use the Singularity launcher tool to do this.
- Set a skill queue which will last AT LEAST until Friday 01:30 UTC.
- Over the weekend, log into Singularity again and check that you have received the appropriate skill point and ISK reimbursement. If it wasnÆt, file a bug-report and we will look into it.
But what do I get? Beyond the fact you of course will be getting the SP you have invested in learning skill back, we will running on the same principle as mass tests do. You help out, you get extra skill points on Singularity to use! WeÆre giving out 5 million skill points, on top of the reimbursed learning skill points you get. The criteria for getting these extra 5 million skill points, is that you have an active skill queue on Friday, 01:30 UTC. Very simple indeed. Please note that due to the sheer magnitude of this task, Singularity will be down for an extended period of time on Friday at the conclusion of the test, estimated around 7-12 hours. So the server might not be up till Friday afternoon. IÆm ready! Good! Just log into Singularity, set a skill queue that lasts till at least Friday 01.30 GMT. When you then log in on Saturday, check if all your skill points were reimbursed as expected. If they werenÆt, file a bug-report. Having done that, spend your newly available skill points weÆve given you on Singularity into whatever your heart desires and enjoy the weekend, knowing that the same will soon happen on Tranquility thanks to your help! As always, we really appreciate peopleÆs help with these sorts of things. So if you have 15 minutes to spare over the next day and a half, please take the time and help with ensuring that you will get the SP youÆre entitled to, come the impending removal of learning skills! Thanks in advance, CCP Stillman, on behalf of Team Yggdrasill and EVE QA.

Getting SP for doing favors makes me feel a little dirty, much like I would doing sexual services for candy. Sweet and nice, but feels wrong

Hi,
I would like to know how can I spend the reimbursed SPs. Do I have to do it at next login after the deployment? Or can I split them up and spend the SPs at different time points later on? Can I save some SPs for skills I don't have at the moment or with other words I will inject later?
Cheers,
Cher

No, they will be on the Singularity server only. They will be available for you to spend until the next deletion and re-mirror of the Sisi database, which currently is not scheduled. I can guarantee at least three weeks, probably more.

So these 5m SP won't survive sisi mirrors as other mass testing 2m sp gifts did?

Originally by: Des'tai Wushyr Not meaning to be rude but how would 5 mil on a test server only be an incentive for us to stop our training que on Tranquility for a period of 36 hours or more? We can't interact with our Corp's Can't make any transactions or actions that have to do with the real server and then in 3 weeks it goes away. It's actually going to provide more frustration at seeing what one could have but with the knowledge that it doesn't count and won't be permanent.
Why on earth would you stop your skill que on tranquility? And who said that you will have to spend the entire time on Sisi? You just log in, set your skill on Sisi, go back to tq and do whatever you want then log in to Sisi and try out the system.

Why would taking part in this mass-test interfere with your business on Tranquility? 
nobody asks you to stop your learning queue on tq - and imo extra SP on sisi can be useful to decide which skills to train next on tq (always try before buy ;) - if not having each skill at lvl V is frustrating to you, you have to play EVE in a constant state of denial as is...

It is on the test server you are supposed to set this skill, not on TQ.

I just logged on Sisi and started training Starbase Defense Management V... Should last long enough :D
Side note : the new Sisi Launcher is impressive ! All is automated now, no more creating shortcuts with custom parameters and so on - so everybody should be able to log on Singularity.
P.S. : Yay ! Noctis to redeem ! Thanks, I wanted to give it a try :)

So when the the change happens on TQ on the 14th..do ppl who help now with this get 5m extra on TQ or do we just get it now on Sisi to test around with?
Good! Just log into Singularity, set a skill queue that lasts till at least Friday 01.30 GMT. When you then log in on Saturday, check if all your skill points were reimbursed as expected. If they werenÆt, file a bug-report. Having done that, spend your newly available skill points weÆve given you on Singularity into whatever your heart desires and enjoy the weekend, (((((knowing that the same will soon happen on Tranquility thanks to your help!))))))))

Setting a skill on Singularity does not affect anything on Tranquility. Singularity is a "copy" of Tranquility, which runs totally indepdentently. So nothing you do on Singularity will have any effect on Tranquility.
As others mention, this is a very small thing we're asking everybody to do. It's literally a couple of minutes of work

Waaat? What the hell you're talking about, dude? Singularity is absolutely parallel to Tranquility. Nothing you do on it would impact you on TQ (well, as long as you're not being an idiot and not breaking SiSi rules, which, when fairly relaxing, have a few explicit denial statememnts you MUST obey to.)

Originally by: Assaj Ventress So these 5m SP won't survive sisi mirrors as other mass testing 2m sp gifts did?
Those skill points survived because the Mass Test Master CCP Habakuk manually gave them out again after the mirror. He did this because the mirror was so close to the last mass test (only a few days after) and because he's an all around nice guy. I'm not so nice and think about a month is plenty of time to play around with new skills and ship types on Singularity you don't have the skills for on TQ.
Remember, if you have all learning skills a V and participate in this mass test you will end up with over 10 million skill points to apply as you like on Singularity. Sounds like a sweet deal to me for only a few minutes work. Even if it only lasts for a few weeks.

Apparently you don't read through all posts before you comment. My question had not been brought up previously, I did post a retraction to my comment. I'm new to the game and am entiled to ask any questions I wish and if you can't post to a forumn without respecting that people make the ocassionaly mistake then perhaps it is you who should cease viisting them. I have set the que on singularity and am happy to help as I have stated.

Notes for Mac users.
1) The autoupdate does not work.
2) The SiSi full client download delivers (at least to me) a damaged DMG archive that cannot be opened.
3) The instructions on how to make a SiSi client in the stickied thread point to a page on the wiki with no Mac-specific info.
4) The correct way to get this running on the Mac is to make a copy of your current TQ app and preferences, then edit the Info.plist in the package to point to both the new preferences file and add the key/value pair that tells the client to talk to SiSi, as documented on this wiki page.
5) Mac users should get 10m SP instead of 5 to compensate for the extra aggravation.

Starting my queue now, but!
I have one quick question for you since I am confused by this reimbursement process. By having us set a long skill, do you intend to put our reimbursed skillpoints into the active skill in the queue?
I was under the impression that this reimbursement would happen as it has in the past: We receive X amount of SP from CCP which we can then apply to whatever skills we like in whatever amounts we like. But this process seems like you want to plug our reimbursed SP directly into our skill queue? Seems odd; I would appreciate it if you would clear up this little detail.

also did you though about trying to set up a skill which will finish DURING the DT on sisi to try to break things ? ---------------- ** Wormhole Trading ** |

Does this work for multiple accounts? Because I might want to train up capital ship construction on one and fighter bombers on the other

Reporting for duty....AWU 5 and some ship command skills in que set to finish Saturday.
so, for characters on the same account with learning skills, the reimbursement goes to that specific character still right? So does that mean to apply skill points on your alts (on the same account)you have to pause your main accounts training?

So I logged into SiSi, queued up four days of skills, but I don't see a second folder for Eve Singularity under the CCP folder. I also don't have my new ship or the same wallet size on Singularity. Will the extra 5mil SP be applied no matter what server I am on? I am fairly new to the EVE universe and may be missing something rather simple. Thanks!

The 5 million bonus SP is only for Singularity, to allow you to try new things on Singularity.

Edited by: Aidan Patrick on 01/12/2010 20:35:39 Awesome reward.. but unforutnately I am a bit miffed about one thing. Yes, it's my fault.. but let me explain.
Initially when I read the dev blog stating the 5 million SP reward I shouted out with glee, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All! I got so excited I completely overlooked the server name "Singularity". As you can imagine I was very dissapointed and sad when I read into it a little more.
All in all it kinda sucks that theres no reward for this on the live server, though for the amount of work it probrably isn't warranted.
Now when mirroring these servers we lose rewards we get for helping mass test. This is not a good thing in my opinion and the fact that that reward isn't something I get to keep.. Makes me not want to test. I'm still going to though because I love CCP and I love EVE, but why don't you guys do this...?
Make a script or program that can be ran after each re-mirror of the server. That script does one simple task.. It just adds mass test SP awards to the mappable SP pool on a character. You basically just keep a spreadsheet or database with a list of characters and their current reward pool. Each time they participate and get a new reward you just add the new SP amount to the already existing pool. Then, each time the server is re-mirrored everyone gets their rewards back.
This has several pros and only one con. Let me elaborate!
PROS
- Testers Actually Feel Rewarded
- Promotes return of testers for more mass test events
- Once implimented, simple to "Inject Skillpoints" over again. ;)
- Allows return testers to properly test skill dependent features even if they do not already have the skills required. They just use their reward pool and apply it to the features needing to be tested.
CONS
The implimentation methods I could think of were these...
- Redeem Items, afterall a CCP blog post referred to skillpoints as items
- Post re-mirror script
Anyways it's obviously not a huge concern, but something like this needs to be a little more clear on where the rewards are going (Calling the test server Sisi AND Singularity can be misleading at times) and a little bit more longevity on rewards would be nice.

The 100 isk markets were reseeded incorrectly in the last mirror, but they have since manually gone back and reseeded FD-MLJ with the 100isk items.
As for my personal test, I'm training a couple skills as normal on my two account, but I have 4 characters (two on each account) that have learning skills. It'll be interesting to see if all characters get the skill points they're supposed to.
And to try and throw-in another monkey wrench - my main on SiSi still has 100k skill points left over from Tyrannis. Although he's spent them on TQ recently, I'm keeping them on my SiSi version to see if it'll cause any complications :)

I just had another thought - people that are currently training learning skills could possibly end-up with the incorrect number of skillpoints returned to them. The overall skill point value of the character no-longer changes automatically until a skill is finished training (or if the Queue is paused). I think I'll adjust one of my character's skill training now to test that.
BTW, I'm also curious on how my main character's overall skill training will be affected. He's had all learning skills to Level 5 for years now (minus Charisma), along with +5 Implants. He'll be in that small minority of players that will actually loose a tiny amount off of his attributes (0.3 I believe). While it's a small bummer to loose any points from your attributes, the benefit of getting back all of the points from the learning skills makes-up for it). --- If you've read something I posted and want to contact me, EVE-Mail me, or contact me via EVE Gate. |

For all your rudeness you're doing it so incredibly wrong, I cannot help but laugh my head off.
http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php
For all of you who have ever wanted to get 'that specific patch' from one version to another for either TQ or SISI, have a go at that page. It's also a great way to check if the servers are up and what the usercounts are at any given time without having to relog.
As for how much of a task this is, I suggest you go read up on databases and how they work and tie into real-time clock driven programs; then I suggest you ponder for a moment the massive amount of database entries that have to be modified, keeping in mind that any given account can have up to 3 characters on it that may have learning skills trained on them and that all accounts, even those that have not been active since 2003, need to have this done to them. ---

Originally by: Kary Tamona Idle question, for someone with pretty much all non capital combat skills trained, how many SP are needed to fly a poorly fitted titan? Will the 10 million SP I'll get this weekend suffice? Any hint how to spend those SP to get to fly a titan?
Just for bleeps and giggles I used eve mon to put a titan into the skill que of a character I created but havent trained any skills for yet. The total SP for the training was 8.5M so 10 M would be more than enough to fly a titan... but that dosn't include any modules. I used a fit from battleclinic and the total SP went up to 16M so depending on how much of that you already have trained you should be able to fly one... the problem will just be building it...

Originally by: CCP Hypnotic I have a bunch of learning skill books left over in the corp hanger. I will be hiding them all over EVE like an Easter egg hunt to make sure I still get reimbursed correctly. In corp hangers, in personal hangers, in anchored cans, in station vaults inside corp hangers in 0.0 systems, Etc,. There is a spreadsheet. 
You just like making my life hard, don't you? 
Glad you've got people thinking this way. (I think you are too.) 
Remember to do a skillbook inside a can that's inside a ship that's inside a courier package that's inside a ship that's in a ship array whose control tower has been destroyed.
... owned by a closed corporation and anchored by a bio-massed character?
How about lining up a few frigates with skill books in the cargo bays, and blowing them up just before the server goes down so that some of the wrecks would have books inside? *haha*

skills set, also put skillbooks into the corp hangar of several capital ships to find out if the corp or i get the credits. another guy is going to place the books in a secure can anchored in wormhole space. and in an abandoned ship cargo bay in wormhole space.

As a side note I already have my main & science alts furiously "pumping" lvl V learning skills on TQ since this change was announced.

I am glad i can help you out with that test.

Originally by: CCP Hypnotic
Originally by: Assaj Ventress So these 5m SP won't survive sisi mirrors as other mass testing 2m sp gifts did?
Those skill points survived because the Mass Test Master CCP Habakuk manually gave them out again after the mirror. He did this because the mirror was so close to the last mass test (only a few days after) and because he's an all around nice guy. I'm not so nice and think about a month is plenty of time to play around with new skills and ship types on Singularity you don't have the skills for on TQ.
Remember, if you have all learning skills a V and participate in this mass test you will end up with over 10 million skill points to apply as you like on Singularity. Sounds like a sweet deal to me for only a few minutes work. Even if it only lasts for a few weeks.
Will ccp give same "base attributs" as player having all learning skills to level 5 ? Because if not, players with all level 5 learning skills (as myself) will after the patch learn slower, which is sad. I invested so much time on my alt to train all learning skills to level 5 so i train faster and after the patch i'll train slower.
I would recommend giving out so much base attributes that players that now have all level 5 learning skills will train the same speed as they do now.
What do you think about this idea CCP ? ____________________________________________________________________________ Angel 0/A |

What do you think about this idea CCP ?
You may lose a little training speed but on the other hand you're going to end up with about 5 million skill points to invest immediately. Overall the small loss in training speed is amply compensated for. Also, you've reaped the benefit of faster training time that a set of 5/5 Learning skills confers. Overall, you're going to come out ahead for several years to come even with the small reduction in training speed.
I'm testing out the skill points on the test server. I happen to have a partially-trained Learning skill (Empathy) and I want to see that I get every one of the skill points that I had. Another one of my characters will end up with 10 million SP to spend there.
Arrr, CONCORD be a harsh mistress.

I've done this with my main.
Series of quick non-important skills -> Eidectic Memory L5
However, it occured to me that the combination that I cannot test that I haven't seen mentioned yet is
what happens if I have training a series of learning skills (and at the moment of the update, these are active) and then a combat skill when the mirror happens.
So it looks like this:
Learning skill Learning skill <- Moment patch hits Learning skill Combat skill
Will the server automatically advance me to the Combat skill? Not very likely and I suspect that this is going to be a rare occurance, but i cannot test this on my characters and thought it should be tested.

really shouldn't need to do that, copy the directory \program files\ccp\eve to ..\evetest, then visit this site

Good idea. We need to try wrecks with skillbooks (blow up a few shuttles), wrecks with skillbooks and other loot, and the same with cargo containers. Cargo containers with only skillbooks would be particularly interesting - do the cargo containers go *pop* as expected or do we end up with empty cargo containers in space?
