I have a question about this free remap. My next remap would have been available in April, If i use this 'free' one now, will i have to wait until next December or will i still receive the one in April? |

This.
tyty hijack ftw :)
Ok fair enough. I fail to see how this is a "free" remap then if i have to wait another year for another one.
whatever I guess. Next time they should call it "early" remap instead of "free" since your not gaining anything. |

You will get another remap in April as you would have anyways
Nope. i just petitioned it. And confirming that nope, you wont.
Quote: Hi there,
If you were not planning on using one, then it wouldn't really be of much benefit. But due to the attributes being rebalanced, we felt it necessary to give all players one free remap. Thus, rather than having to wait until next April, you can use it now.

I send a message back for come clarification on this, as he didnt actually answer my question

Hmm.. well that isn't exactly clear that you will lose the one that you are due in April but I am willing to entertain the possibility that that is the case.
If it is the case then I owe you an apology and I will be waiting until May to use mine as then I will have two and CAN use the extra remap within 12 months.
Do you realize it doesn't work like that? It goes from 12 months from your final remap. So if you have 1 left, you will have to wait a year from when you use that last 1. You don't receive 1 per year if you already have one available. Figured that one out the hard way.

Originally by: Maximillian Dragonard Personally, I'm due for a remap in 4-5 months, so will keep my freebie remap until then. After getting my new remap in April/May, I'll use one, leaving one available in case I need a change in less than another year
Heh. Like i just said. It doesn't work like that. lets say you have 2 remaps. If you use one now, you will have 1 left. Thats easy to understand. Now if you dont use your last one, next year at this time you WILL NOT get another one - because you still have one left. The timer starts after you use your last remap. If your due for remap in april and you use the free one now, you will have to wait until next december for the next.

Originally by: Devro III I don't know... This remap seems to have screwed me out of my up coming one. I hope to hell this is just another bug

thats exactly the point im trying to make. if your cooldown was to be up soon, say dec 20. you dont actually get a free remap. you only get 5 day sooner remap.
So unless you recently used your last remap, or already have 1 or more to use, the "free" remap is not free at all.

Originally by: Loreth Algamore Still better than not getting one. 5 days sooner > nothing.
I fail to see how its better than nothing. because it is nothing. Basically if you didn't have a remap available already, you don't get a free remap.
Still waiting on a GM response though. Maybe will get lucky and the 'free' remap will stack with the upcoming one.

This is starting to get funny. 2 petitions later and I keep getting a generic response that doesn't answer my question lol.
Even if we don't get a free remap, I like that the learning skills were removed and the SP reimbursed. I don't mean to make such a big stink about the remap but I just want answers to the question I am asking.

Indeed. I was looking more for an offical statement instead of players stabbing in the dark. But i finally got a response from a GM
Quote: Hi there,
All players who already used their remaps had their timers reset. I am afraid we can not give you another remap as this change was for all players. Those who did not use their remaps do have an extra one to use, but at the same time, they ultimately also did not use the benefit of their remap. Skill training varies from player to player and we ultimately are giving everyone a benefit, no one is being hindered, just benefiting relatively less than others.

I think you are not allowed to post GM responses. A moderator will delete it (and maybe also delete the small quotation from this post).
In any case, that response is either wrong or ridicule.
It is wrong because in some specific cases available information from CCP pushed people toward decisions that turned out to be very very bad. Case in point: some old characters that had never remapped, acting on available information (learnings removal with SP reimbursement, either no extra remap or an equal number of extra remaps to all the characters) ended up remapping for the first time 2 or 3 weeks ago. This turns out to be very bad because CCP actually gave 1 remap to everybody but 2 remaps to old characters that never remapped. In this sense they have been hurt, severely.
It is ridicule because for "benefiting relatively less than others" to be correct it must be taken literally: some people did not benefit at all (think those that had a remap cooldown ending in a few days). Yes, sure, they were "not hindered". They actually "benefiting relatively less than others". As in they could remap one or two days earlier than expected, while others got up to two extra remaps (and I have unconfirmed rumors that someone got 3: one on wednesday that they immediately used, then 2 more on thursday). Totally ridicule.
I agree. But it was a gift, they didn't have to give it out at all. I'm willing to accept that most people got a gift while a large portion was ignored.
It's not unheard of for CCP to inadvertently... well i don't want to say "harm", how about "look over" over players. An example, with the learning skill removal and the base stats changed, some people that had maxed out learning skills are now training slower than before. Then others try to say, well just add some of the reimbursed SP into your skills and its like training the same speed for X years.
In that case the player is being cheated out of the reimbursed SP, while everybody else gets a boost to their speed AND has SP to distribute.
But personally i'm happy with the change. Its just too bad we don't get a free remap to go with it.
