Keira Matrix	Posted - 2010.12.16 11:44:00 - [91] Edited by: Keira Matrix on 16/12/2010 11:46:01 So in short using the remap resets the timer, but if you wait for the timer to complete you will not get another remap.
HyperZerg	Posted - 2010.12.16 11:46:00 - [92] Originally by: CCP Spitfire 2. You had no neural remaps until yesterday, when you have received 1 "free" neural remap. Your next "regular" remap is due on January 5, 2011. If you use your remap today, your timer will be reset, and you will receive your next remap on December 16, 2011. However, you will not get a "regular" remap on January 5, 2011, as you already have a remap available. So, In that case you only get 10% of a free remap ? I think you ill-conceived that one. It's unfair and you had NO CHANCE to know, that it had been better to remap a month early to get a full remap isntead of a 10%. Or shall we all petition till we get it on our regular date ?

However, you will not get a "regular" remap on January 5, 2011, as you already have a remap available. TL;DR: As long as you have "free" / "bonus" remaps, you can ignore the timer completely. It only matters when you are out of remaps. I hope that makes sense. That really is a bad way to implement this feature. People with 1 remap avalible and people who had just recently remapped are getting a huge advantage compared to people who had only a few days left before they could remap. I am getting 15 days off my remap when instead I could have gotten one remap now, and then another one in 15 days when my original timer ran out. This is the difference between remapping for say....leadership skills and then spending 6 months to train it and then using my natural remap to remap back into something more useful. Its not really a FREE remap then as much as it is resetting the remap timer then now is it?

So all of us with no remaps, who were waiting for it to unlock get a discount sort of speak. While everybody who already had one ready, ie no timer running, get a free remap. tl;dr: unfair (compared to other players) I hope you didn't make sense and I misunderstood ya.

Please let me try to explain. 2. You had no neural remaps until yesterday, when you have received 1 "free" neural remap. Your next "regular" remap is due on January 5, 2011. If you use your remap today, your timer will be reset, and you will receive your next remap on December 16, 2011. However, you will not get a "regular" remap on January sorry but this is really useless and not a free remap why should someone remap earlier?? most of the players have a 1-year skill plan and they have no advantage from your so called free remap. give a real free remap or leave it as it is. ____________________ Security Status No.#1

Commander Phoenix m3 Corp	Posted - 2010.12.16 11:58:00 - [101] I have characters that HAVE remapped before. Now they have 3 remaps available? I'm guessing maybe that one of the remaps that should have been added to another character (my main), instead got added to the alt? Oh well. No point crying over spilt milk. My next decision is whether to remap NOW or wait till it was originally planned to end in June. Some of my other characters have gotten 2 free remaps this update however so I'll use them to their full potential when the time comes. Just a shame that non of my main characters got the 2 free remaps. ---------------------------- -It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big.
Major Templar Caldari Steel Daggers Sev3rance	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:00:00 - [102] So all my toons that reset around the same time in January are all getting the shaft. Nice. While those who say, just had an available one just 1 to 2 months before the free one are getting an advantage over me. What a great sandbox this is. CCP giving unfair advantage to others.

I think people who never remapped only got +1....you start with 2. Originally by: CCP Spitfire 1. You have never remapped your character's attributes. As of today, you should have 3 available neural remaps (one that every character gets and two free ones given out by us). If you use one of them today, your one-year timer will start ticking. If a year later you have 0 available remaps, you will get the "regular" one; however, if you will still have available remaps by that date, you will not get an additional one. suppose this means 2 original + 1 free, I read it 1 original + 2 free... Anyways that is not the problem, do not really care how many people got, the point is people who had 0, and had one coming in 1 - 365 days, get rolled over with this "free" remap. giving 2 to everyone would of solved this whole problem regardless of how many they gave to who...
Keira Matrix	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:05:00 - [105] When you think of it it's only the people that had their timers coming to an end that lost out in some way. Having 3 remaps does not bring that 4th one any nearer, the timer won't start until they use the 3rd one.
Im Blue	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:10:00 - [106] 6 accounts 18 toons all ranging randomly between 0 extra and 2 extra. i hope this makes everyone have 2 free remaps regardless of age and starting point.
The RipperToad	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:16:00 - [107] CCP poorly implementing something still shocks you people? Also, yes I am one of the people getting the shaft with the 'free' remap thing. At least I have this awesome new ship... wait.. it does what? Never mind. Brujah are going to be the new Achura, calling it now

Having 3 remaps does not bring that 4th one any nearer, the timer won't start until they use the 3rd one. Indeed, and if I read Spitfire correctly, you won't get any extra ones unless you have 0 left by the time your counter reaches 0. It sucks (compared to other players) because I was thinking of remapping to Int/Mem to max Eng Elec and Mech skills and then go back to Per/Will but I don't think I want to pause my ship/missile skills for a year...
Caldariftw123	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:17:00 - [109] What the .. People are complaining that they are getting less than others, because they are getting a free remap now instead of having to wait for their timer? 2 Characters are born on the same day, both get 2 remaps at the same time. Character 1 who has up to this point never remapped now has 3, character 2 who used 2 remaps already and has anywhere from 1 day to 1 year to wait for next remap, now has 1 remap available now instead. Which character gets the most from this?!? NEITHER you entitlement-convinced-idiots, because they will ALL have had 3 remaps in total and equal opportunity to use those remaps. "but character 1 can now plan to use his short-term without worrying about a timer reset!" yeah and you remapped ages ago where he didn't, but your 3 remaps have lasted the exact same amount of time as his has. Whining whining whining this forum is full of ill thought out whining.

While everybody who already had one ready, ie no timer running, get a free remap. tl;dr: unfair (compared to other players) I hope you didn't make sense and I misunderstood ya. Totally fair. All of the ppl who had one ready get another one as they saved the first one. All the others get one to use it when they want. It would be unfair for those who used it to get another one. Look at them as cookies All got one once, some eaten them, some saved them. All got another one now. Those who saved the first one now have two cookies. Got milk?

Whining whining whining this forum is full of ill thought out whining. You are amazingly dumb for having typed out so many words. One person gets a free remap (translates to 12 months). The other person who was gonna unlock a remap in January gets it instantly (this translates to 1 month). How is one month equal to twelve.

lolioverbidu	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:23:00 - [113] You people complaining that we are whining are missing the point. Lets say someone remapped last year on the 14th of december, he will now have 2 remaps. While someone remapping last year on the 17th of december will still only have 1 remap. How is this fair? The fair way to do this was to not have the new remap affect the old remap timer, that way nobody would be shafted.

The other person who was gonna unlock a remap in January gets it instantly (this translates to 1 month). How is one month equal to twelve. Again read what I said: How many remaps has that person had in how many months? Right, exactly the same as the other guy, except you used yours earlier. READ. AGAIN. SLOWLY. Char 1 gets 2 remaps, char 2 gets 2 remaps, then they both get a free one. They've both had 3 remaps. One of them used some of theirs, the other did not, they still had the same number of remaps however. If you use your remap, your timer is reset, yes, does that screw you over? No. Why? Well if you think about it using the same basic logic .. char 1 now has 3, you have 1, you use yours and your timer is set to 12 months from now, char 1 uses all of their's at some point and has to wait 12 months for their next one. Let's say for some stupid reason they both use them all on the same day, so they then wait 12months for their next one. You've both still had the same number of remaps in the same time frame! Amazing how that works right? Now let's say more realistically you use yours but the other dude uses his over a period of time, then he waits a year for his next one which will come after you've already gotten yours - you are now ahead of him because you've gotten your fourth remap in less time than it takes for him to gets his fourth. Are you gaining much, you who has 1 month to wait for your next one anyway? No you aren't gaining much, just a month, but it's a month of free all the same, whereas the guy who has 3 still has the same amount of remaps in the same time frame as you, except his fourth one will come later. So in reality those that used their remaps are always going to get more remaps in a shorter time frame, than those that do not use their remaps. So in fact the ONLY pseudo-complaint people could have has NOTHING to do with those people that now have 3 remaps, but those that used all their remaps recently will now get their timer reset. This change benefits those that remapped recently the most and those that remapped later the least. Entitlement convinced idiots can't even complain about the only actual thing that "hurts" someone (IE you don't get AS MUCH as someone else) This whole "3 remaps dudeblahblah" thing is utter nonsense though :)

Staggerr Broski North	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:40:00 - [118] Your tl;dr version: Originally by: Caldariftw123 -in reality those that used their remaps are always going to get more remaps in a shorter time frame, than those that do not use their remaps. Here's a metaphor for you: If I don't drive my car I'm never going to have to refuel it. CCP is handing out free tanks of gas, somebody who never drives his car gets a full tank. The other person who happened to have half a tank at the time gets only half a tank. In other words: people who don't drive their car are rewarded. Moral of this story: don't drive a car.

Fianna Illyasfeld Autistic Sharks Test Alliance Please Ignore	Posted - 2010.12.16 12:48:00 - [120] Seems like my character now has 2 remaps avalible! If this is intentionally, then CCP has redeemed themselves and done the right thing. **** yes! inb4 bug and removed.
